  • Lindsay Ellis –Yes, Dolly Was Actually That Great

  • eerie how close this was published to her passing. and i could've sworn the title was something like "Was Dolly really that great?" before and was changed after news of her death.

  • Do you participate in this hobby without a formal IT education or a career in a similar field?

  • i have an associates in programming and a bachelor's in cybersecurity, but i have forgotten most of it. i'm just a dumbass who likes computers now. all i know about this hobby is from the internet

  • US hires over 2,000 video gamers as air traffic controllers

    Jump

  • about 6 months minimum before they're allowed to talk to real planes, a year and a half minimum after that before they are out on their own. the academy will get rid of a lot of people who truly are not cut out for this type of work, and facility training will get rid of more. tbh i'm not super worried because the job is do it by the book or find another job. if they don't do it right, they won't be talking to real traffic for very long if at all

  • US hires over 2,000 video gamers as air traffic controllers

  • so i have a little bit of insight into this whole thing. i got a few friends who are controllers and i've been in the hiring process myself for nearly 2 years. to save you the history of the hiring process of the last few years: long. duffy "supercharged" the hiring process last year, making it take a lot less time than it used to (months instead of years).

    anyway, we don't actually know if 2000 "gamers" got hired from this latest bid, they're just saying that because they were catering to gamers with the advertisement (which was majority genAI content lmao). if you applied to the bid, you're automatically a gamer.

    now a few things on what this means for us and the safety of aviation. the minimum requirements are as follows: do you have a pulse? can you obtain a security clearance? do you not have any medical problems that will make you unfit to do the job? have you not taken any federally illegal drugs in the last few years? can you do a few basic math problems? if you can answer yes to all of these questions, you get hired. that's what the 2000 number is.

    when you get hired by the FAA, those 2000 people don't immediately get to go control traffic at the busiest airport. all ATC candidates must go to the FAA's training academy in OKC for 3-4 months to learn how to control traffic. it's designed to train someone who doesn't even know what a plane is to the basics of controlling traffic, phraseology and proper procedures and all. not everyone makes it through the academy and is a large percent of the attrition rate for applicants.

    only after all that do they go to a real facility, but not like LAX. and then they learn some more before touching live traffic.

    so overall, i'm not super worried about it. only the people who are actually capable will get though and even then, it will be well over a year before they are controlling on their own if they don't fail training at their facility

  • I went on two busses today, resulting in reaching the Smart Fare maximum. This means that additional bus trips don't cost money for the remainder of the day.

  • where i live, the transit system is the same. after spending $5.60 a day (2 fare payments), you earn a day pass. after $100 you earn a month pass valid for the rest of the month

  • [QUESTION] nonstick cookware?

    Jump

  • budget right now would probably be no more than $150/pan, and with good care at least a year's worth of cooking. i was raised well enough to not use metal utensils on coated pans so at least that will aid in the life of the pan

  • other options besides graphene exist, like lineage OS that work on a ton of different phones. and sure graphene requires google hardware but nobody says you have to buy the hardware from google direct. buying used is different than buying from google
