Some best buy asshole convinced me to buy LG this last time because “it’s the same screen as the bravia, but lower price so you can get the sound bar too!”. Yeah fuck that, Sony doesn’t jerk me around. WebOS doesnt even fucking WORK unless you agree to every sharing option and update. Next time I’ll just pay the extra.
Well this person certainly has some moral grounding, talent, and some kind of look!
Happy cake day. I was asking, before I dive into the hunt, if you saw any docs for doing the same sort of firmware update / swap for plain old irobot vacuums.
Idk how motivated to be to go do this. Just started reading about valetudo.
COA => course of action
Is this a COA for irobot Roombas?
One of you or your siblings has to be married.
It otherwise doesn’t work: brother/sister in law wouldn’t exist. Unless siblings marry siblings, there’s no other way to create that link if you all have to be married.
Big if. That’s a trial and error journey unless some of the tools are part of your job description.
Edit: downvoted by Linus Torvalds I guess. Can’t even follow a video and hope it’s right unless you just duplicate a setup
Better to read and don’t reply, or send a message and expect it was received IMO
If it’s worth replying, write a reply. I do not need a notification from anyone of a round asshole flashing different colors and gyrating because you casually agree in a congratulatory fashion.
If it isn’t the first email you’ve ever exchanged, why can’t you just plan for the fact that they got your email and if they drop the ball the fault is not yours?
“I’m sending you this thing, if anything is wrong please let me know; otherwise I will assume all is agreed and we can move forward.”
No response required. Stay off my lawn, don’t send me an email or a text or anything else that just says “ok”. Maybe I’m showing my age…
Ridiculous negotiator to be sure.
Who is the comedian looking like the Corinthian in the thumbnail?
I’m not sure what youre basing this allegory on. There’s nobody saying that trans folks (or anyone else) shouldn’t be able to pick whatever name they like. I’m not even saying that people SHOULD like any name and it frankly isn’t that important. It’s not like don’t wear pants or don’t grow long hair. What I AM saying is that if you choose a name that is offbeat and people don’t love it, like (whoopi, sure) that has nothing to do with being trans and having chosen a name that suits your gender identity, but rather with people having preferences about names that you can’t control.
The unspoken premise of the original post, which I disagree with, is that people don’t like some set of names because trans people pick them. Instead, surprised Pikachu, there are names people don’t really like. It’s not trans stigma, it’s filling your candy dish with black jelly beans and candy corn then saying, “people just don’t like my candy because I’m pupscent and they are all backward cynophobes”. If you like those candies then of course eat them, but let’s not call it stigma if other people don’t share your tastes.
It makes a ton of sense actually.
To make sure the line you quoted is giving you the right impression what I mean to say is if you pick a weird name well then it’s a weird name, not that it’s weird to pick it. You can’t guarantee everyone will like any name you pick no matter who you are, and you sure can’t force them to.
So change your name to pupscent IRL?
You or anyone else can change their names to anything you want anytime; however, you can’t force people to like it.
Sure, if you want dream_weasel to like it, you can ask for the approved list. If you want to name yourself General Buttfuckingnaked you absolutely can, but if people don’t like it that’s YOUR problem. It isn’t trans insensitive to be weirded out by you naming yourself Incestte, it’s just a weird fucking name.
I feel like if you’re trying to mandate what people MUST like, you are CAUSING a problem. You can’t force me to say a black belt and brown pants and shoes go together because a trans person picked it, that is still a shitty choice. Names are same deal. Being trans doesn’t mean you are instantly exempt from every form of taste.
Dang, we could have had Longboy DiCaprio. Or like Lyman or something.
I think having a cute stage name is something people accept after you’re famous.
I’m gonna come in with maybe an unpopular hot take. I have no problems people being trans or choosing a name that suits your preferred gender, but–perhaps because of the repression earlier in life–it seems there is often an… aggressively creative search for names?
I know about 8 MtF people (0 FtM for some reason?), and they are not picking mainstream names like Mary, Samantha, or Norah for example. Eris, Athena, Cybelle, Malice, and Laika are 5 of the 8 names chosen. It’s not a problem, you pick it and I will use it, but it IS jarring. I’m not making excuses for transphobia because that’s stupid, but it is strange to me to ostensibly want to blend in with everybody else, but then choose a name that obviously marks you out? It’s like the line between choosing a name for your heroine DND character and for yourself is suddenly completely erased and it’s absolutely your right, but as an outsider it’s honestly kinda weird.
I support a parents right to pick names for their kids, but aeslyn and breeleigh and brandaeden are weird names. Same for people who pick their own names regardless of gender identity. If you pick a name that is kinda weird… well it’s kinda weird.
Nah. Some forms of practice like shooting or bowling or anything where the goal is to do something 10 or 100 times and get a high score are absolutely about doing exactly the same thing over and over again as predictably as possible and the variance of result is the problem.
If you don’t like that example, how about chess puzzles?
Certainly between practice sessions you might wisely expose yourself to new ideas, but the idea is the same:
See a position, see the winning strategy / tactic / idea. If you’re a student of the woodpecker method, once you do that once, you do it again, exactly the same way, and hope to be faster at it.
These are forms of practice wherein you do the same thing, exactly the same way, and hope to get increasingly better results by honing a skill through repetition without changing anything. its not that you CANT change things sometimes or that you shouldn’t, but generally speaking the idea is consistency.
Yeah you can’t JUST do CS anymore. Why would you hire a CS grad to do your project when you have to plan it to the end and provide rigid specifications to follow? Instead you can hire an engineer or someone from stat or data analytics that ALSO comes with a boatload of programming (and often software architecting) expertise?
It only makes sense to hire someone with a CS specialty if the problem your company solves specifically calls for that specialty. That’s is getting increasingly rare in the age of SaaS, containerization, IaaS, etc.
If you think about it a little, it’s morbid and weird. If you think about it a little more, it’s just about on par (maybe slightly less?) on the weird scale with wearing the torture and execution device of the guy you worship on a chain around your neck.
If you think about it a lot, it’s totally fucking weird.
