  • I do sous vide fish and chicken all the time.

    But BBQ ribs, that's an idea. Might bum my dad's smoker for an afternoon 🤔

  • Hmmm. You should send me that recipe, lasagna is exactly the type of thing I'm looking for! I made enchiladas last weekend.

    Not too hard (I'm not a good chef), takes too long for a normal night, spends some time in the oven so I can do other chores

  • Because they fill out the report regardless if there is an issue or not. Also, it was a requirement I was given.

    I think it was to give the divers a more simplified form to fill out. Drivers tend to skew a little left on the bell curve so giving them a ton of stuff all at once means they just won't do it at all

    Edit: Here's a longer explanation of what the form looks like:

    • Name: [text box]
    • Truck Number: [text box]
    • Are there issues [Boolean toggle]
    • Comments [text box]
    • Signature

    Then if they toggle the "issues" checkbox, it expands to

    • What issues: [multi select list]
    • Description: [text box]
    • Pictures: [photo upload]
  • According to NIST, Eastern Time is UTC-4. And currently it is 5:04pm EDT, and in London (a city in GMT/UTC+0) it is 10:04pm. Which is 5 hours ahead (because America is dumb and has daylight savings).

    Which is also backed up by your article. Americas/Indianapolis is the one I normally use since I'm in Indiana.

  • I'm still confused about the context. I'm assuming "VM" doesn't mean "virtual machine" in this case? Or maybe it does with a different meaning?

    Idk im just an IT guy, not a web developer

  • Man I've been there too. You do exactly what HR asks you to, when they ask you to do it and all of a sudden it's "oh whoops that's actually supposed to be next week)

    Or like the meme says, it sucks when you get an email telling you to term someone at the end of the week and you have to interact with them all week.

  • GMT+4 would add 4 hours to Greenwich Mean Time though? That's GET (Georgia Standard Time), so 10am (1000) GMT would be 2pm (1400) GET.

    GMT-4 would be EDT (Eastern Daylight Time), so that 10am (1000) GMT would be 6am (0600) EDT. Also, Georgia the state is in that time zone funny enough haha

    (For the most part. Timezones are really really complicated and you should probably just look up the offset for the specific city/region you want Everytime and use some other package for time stuff lol)

  • We have an app that drivers use to file paperwork and stuff like that. We are going to start requiring them to do a vehicle inspection before each load (not CDL, so it's not required), and so I built a little form for them to use.

    If there is no issue, it just saves their report to a database so we can keep record. But if there is an issue it's supposed to generate a report and send it off to the maintenance department.

    While I was working on the formatting for the email, it just stopped working! I was trying to troubleshoot my code thinking I broke the SMTP send part, reading my HTML formatted email thinking I missed some syntax, working with the SMTP relay provider we are using. Nothing. Everything looked perfect. There were no errors. Reports were properly saving to the database. Just no emails.

    I was forgetting to click the checkbox to mark that I had an issue 🤦‍♂️

    Anyways, now you can't actually list issues or until you check that box haha

  • There is one specific cigarette that reminds me of my first boss when I got into IT. She mentored me for a few years and taught me so much about being in IT, and more generally in a professional environment. My entire career up to this point has been built on the foundation she built. I'm just below a C level position now and I'm not even 30 yet.

    But I've long since forgotten what cigarettes she smoked, and it's been a few years since I've stopped myself. But every once and a while I meet someone who smokes them and the smell will shunt me back to that first shitty job and everything that's happened since then. It's like when Ego tries the food at the end of Ratatouille.

  • If I could have any job from my youth it'd be the go kart track.

    It was actually a ton of physical work, people were just as shitty back then as they are now, I got paid less than minimum wage ($5/hr in cash compared to $7.something in taxable income so it wasn't too bad) and the owners were this crazy white-trash couple who screamed and yelled at everyone including customers.

    But damn man that job was so much fun. I miss running tournaments and hanging out with the regulars and fixing karts and getting almost unlimited free track time.

  • One of my friends found his old Gamecube with a copy of 007! So of course we had to have all the boys over to have a little tournament complete with 2 liter sodas and chips and cheap pizza.

    Man I forgot how rough around the edges those earlier FPS games really were. They were super bare bones, with janky at best controls, and mediocre hit registration. At least the maps were still good.

  • Are there plastic horse shoes now?

  • The cameras and screen are for two different purposes.

    The cameras do what they already do, act like an action camera type thing giving you POV recordings and live streams.

    The display is basically going to do what the old Google glass did. Give you heads up notifications, navigation markers, potentially some game integration. Basically what a smart watch does now.

  • Which is the reason the right to bear arms is the second amendment.

    The founding fathers anticipated and understood that without the ability to defend it, the right to free speech only exists while the population and propaganda are in agreement.

  • In Indiana cops are not excluded from castle laws

  • I really miss party shuffle. I swear it used to have a feature where other people could add songs to your party shuffle too?

    That's one feature I wish would come back to streaming services

  • What's up with audacity? I use it like twice a year so I just download it whenever I need and uninstall it. I don't really do anything except some incredibly basic things (like record audio, cut segments out, maybe some noise reduction if I'm feeling fancy)

  • Yeah, in markdown the \ basically means "stop formatting". It's nice for more complicated things like math problems but if you don't know it can be annoying.

  • The resolution thing is actually almost solved IMO. I used my Quest 3 in AR mode almost every single day and the screens are perfectly fine for reading text or having a video on in the background.

    Yeah there's still some screen door effect but it's really only noticeable when I look for it, it disappears in normal use.

    And I genuinely can't think of a reason you would need 1000hz displays. Human eyes start to get steady motion at like 50-60 and 90-150 is when the normal eye starts to hit the limit.
