Maybe? Probably better than turning your toaster on its side.

How has no one addressed the abomination in the room? Ketchup and melted cheese on a bagel called “pizza”? I hate to yuck your yum, but holy hell.

TBH, he might turn out to be right and we’ll be begging him to teach us his ways.

Can’t remember where I heard it but someone posited this to me and it stuck: Nobody ever does anything they believe is wrong.

If you take that at face value then how you explain evil is that a person has justified to themselves that death, suffering, pain, and unhappiness are all balanced against what they believe is the right way things should be. I can’t imagine being in a ecosystem of people where the things I believe start justifying the way these people behave. But, I’m not a billionaire. Or religious.

Don’t know why I never thought of this before. Just sorted by sender and was able to crank through a ton of emails.

I’m absolutely guilty of what OP describes as being annoying. My coping mechanisms meant ratcheting down the frequency of monitoring those feeds. No email alerts, ever. Check and respond to email twice daily. Respond to IMs (Teams) hourly. Otherwise, pay attention to the meeting I’m in or the work I’m doing. So if I get sent an email I may not get to it for a while, sometimes not before the meeting I’m being called out on.

But in my role I spend 90% of my day in meetings or joint working sessions. Others with different working profiles would have different strategies and expectations, as does the OP, I suspect.

I read “post-Excel world” as a time frame after Excel existed and then existed no more. I was briefly filled with an inexplicable hope, shattered instantly when it sank in what you actually meant.

It is all projection.

Could they deputize, say, the military?

not an internet person

This phrase confuses me.

Are the markers being moved left to right, or right to left?

Thank you for explaining. I’m embarrassed I didn’t get it on my own but I’m grateful for the help.

Please stop propagating click bait titles. For all that is holy, this is Lemmy and we’re better than that.

Right?

His comments appear to be more of a reflection on our current system of governance and allocation of resources than giving away the secrets of a greedy corporation. But at this point criticizing our system of governance is a punishable offense, so it tracks.

If expenses are higher for the thing you’re selling than regulation will allow you to charge for them, then of course you don’t sell the thing. Should we use for-profit institutions as our safety nets? No, but it is what we’ve got and the scenario is a lose-lose in our current system.

I feel dirty when I find the answer to my obscure question on a reddit post (using Kagi’s forum search, btw). I get what I need and close the window quickly, not because it has any actual effect but because there is only so much time on that site until the rage consumes you.

This. Your explanation made sense to you but glossed over the interplay of a few variables and nuances I need to fully grasp the intent. I need to see the instructions in context to get it.

Great advice. Here’s another hint for first timers: you’re going to get it wrong. Spend half a day replacing a faucet, following all the instructions and the collective wisdom of YouTube. Turn the water back on and… drip, drip.

Patching drywall, fixing a drawer slide, replacing a loose electrical outlet… No matter how much you read or watch there is some finesse to each. Practice and experience will make it so you get it right the first time more often, and then when you’re an old person like me you reach a point where you can pretty much do it better than the fly-by-night contractor you’d hire.

One more piece of advice. Don’t mess with live electricity. Wall current can stop your heart instantly or start a fire in the middle of the night. Turn off breakers and be diligent about tightening connections and keeping things to code, but don’t be too afraid of it. A little bit of awareness is all it takes. And the first time you turn that breaker back on it may pop, then you’ll see what went wrong and never make that mistake again.

I know I said one more, but here is one more “one more”. Hit yard sales or estate sales for cheap tools. You’ll have to do this proactively and not when you actually need them. Usually you can pick up stuff for pennies on the dollar. An old caulk gun, adjustable wrench, half box of drywall screws… All good to pickup on the cheap.

I know DIY isn’t everyone’s favorite past time, but after the first few things you tackle you might find it actually enjoyable. I know the combination of saving money, securing my home’s integrity, and completing a job well done is something I look forward to.

Voting is over. There will not be another fair election in the US until the guillotines fall.

Most relatable comment ever.

Why is this posted as humor? Seriously, this is how anyone actually seeking a job should directly translate those phrases.
