dylanmorgan,

Making comments like that and worse to young teenage fans makes him look a lot like a predator. You should read some of the text exchanges where he’s encouraging girls who he’s been talking to for years and have just turned 18 to hang out and get drunk with him.

dylanmorgan,

In treatment with Gabriel Byrne is literally about a therapist and the patients he treats.

This dog has been fired from so many personal assistant gigs.

Man, far right websites all seem to have shit infosec as a common thread along with racism and other assorted bigotry.

How to intentionally get terminated from a job without sacrificing unemployment benefits?

My friend is a customer service rep who is ready to retire. Her company is talking about layoffs with 13+ weeks of severance, but when she asked (anonymously) if they were accepting volunteers, they said no. In case she’s not one of the ones told to clean out her desk, what are the ways she could get terminated while...

dylanmorgan,

Assuming this is in the US, be sure of your state’s unemployment laws. A lot of states say you are ineligible for unemployment if you are fired for cause, like attendance issues or failure to perform work duties.

dylanmorgan,

That depends on the state, OP’s friend should check before trying anything.

dylanmorgan,

Austin and Corpus Christi (and most cities of more than 200k people) are going to feel more similar to each other than small towns 30 miles away from any given city.

dylanmorgan,

Odd that your old doctor didn’t have a plan to distribute patients to new doctors when they retired.

dylanmorgan,

Five years ago I had chest pain, I thought it was a strained pectoral muscle. It wasn’t until a friend asked my plans for the evening, and I commented I was wondering when I should call a doctor about the pain, and they told me “go to the hospital now” that I went. I was having a heart attack. So yeah. Americans avoid the doctor like crazy because you can either pay an insane amount of money to be told “take an ibuprofen and get some sleep,” or to be told you’re going to be spending a truly astronomical sum because you have twelve kinds of cancer. It’s lose-lose.

dylanmorgan,

Best not to base your understanding of a country on a fictional depiction of what a small part of it was like 35 years ago.

dylanmorgan,

Also that’s if you see a doctor. You may see a PA who gives you 15 minutes and sends you home with a nebulizer.

dylanmorgan,

Behind the Bastards The Daily Zeitgeist Factually!

dylanmorgan,

Do you want new prion diseases? Because that’s how you get new prion diseases.

Why are we so concerned with oxygen production yet we never hear about nitrogen production, though we actually need 78% nitrogen vs 21% oxygen to survive?

Excess oxygen is actually harmful to humans, but all the climate warnings are about losing oxygen, not nitrogen edit: but when we look for habitable planets, our focus is ‘oxygen rich atmosphere’, not ‘nitrogen rich’, and in medical settings, we’re always concerned about low oxygen, not nitrogen....

dylanmorgan,

The most famous is Heliox, 98% helium and 2% oxygen iirc.

New GM: Player wants a new character early in the game

We’re 3 game sessions deep into a Vampire the Masquerade chronicle. I’ve just heard from one of my players that they feel like they’ve put a bit too much of themselves into their character, and they’re starting to get uncomfortable with it. As such, they’d like to roll up a new char sheet and bring their current...

dylanmorgan,

Good instinct, and I’d say given their reason for making the change that would be very insensitive.

You must pick a point in human history before the 1950s to be spend the rest of your life in. What era and place would you choose?

You would still have the same age, gender, personality, skin color, etc. and you would be able to speak at least one local language and would know basic information of the era and place. Your family, social standing, and such would be randomly picked.

dylanmorgan,

Damn, I’m sorry you feel out of place in your home. Totally get wanting to live among a people you identify with.

dylanmorgan,

Master/slave systems are probably a-ok for them though.

Best distro for Lenovo Carbon X1

I have a Lenovo Carbon X1 that is a few years old (7th gen), and I am running Fedora 38.5 with GNOME 44.5. The issue is that the system does not sleep properly. If I close the lid, nothing suspends properly, so if it is not on a charger or shut down it will die within several hours in my bag. Are there any distros that handle...

dylanmorgan,

Oh wow, I hadn’t ever noticed that when poking around in the BIOS, I’ll have to find that setting, and cross my fingers I didn’t buy a cursed model laptop.

dylanmorgan,

There was an okay-ish TV adaptation, it’s on Britbox or freevee with ads.

dylanmorgan,

I prefer the much more fun “break LED headlights with a hammer” but your solution is less likely to land me in jail I guess.

dylanmorgan,

A headline that would be accurate any time in the last 70 years.

dylanmorgan,

I have a few close friends, most of whom I don’t see as often as I’d like.

Edit: I’m 45.

dylanmorgan,

I’d be shocked if windows server + every other version of Unix (HP/UX, AIX, Solaris, etc) isn’t at least 6+% of servers.

dylanmorgan,

My experience in the industry is very tangential, but your argument seems sound. Tons of intranet stuff is based on Exchange, and while IIS market share is minuscule, web servers are a pretty small part of “servers” as a whole.

dylanmorgan,

Good luck with that, I can’t even give it away.

dylanmorgan,

29% of 29 is 29% of 29

Fuck, this trick sucks.

dylanmorgan,

Goddammit, I didn’t need a reason to upgrade my laptop (I have a carbon X1 running Fedora and the failure to suspend drives me bonkers).

dylanmorgan,

My bet is that it’s to preserve battery life. Driving hi-res screens takes power.

dylanmorgan,

Right. If you think people calling out genocide are wrong, show evidence that contradicts that contradicts that conclusion.

dylanmorgan,

For salt I just use a jelly jar I cleaned out.

dylanmorgan,

Those are reasons to fund better public transit, not double down on smaller cars.

dylanmorgan,

Literally any city in Europe or china has better public transit than anywhere in the US, and it’s not even close.

dylanmorgan,

Fight god or commit genocide, what will it be?

dylanmorgan,

The Wire is the best show ever made.

dylanmorgan,

True, but I’ve been seeing a fair number of people commenting in a way that shows they don’t know that, and are conflating Israel with all Jewish people everywhere.

dylanmorgan,

He just said “historic,” he didn’t say what part of history.

dylanmorgan,

True. There’s also the Zionist push to link Israel with all Jewish people, whether the Jewish people in question want it or not.

dylanmorgan,

Don’t conflate all Jewish people with a handful of asshole Israelis.

dylanmorgan,

Also, in the US this could help bypass land-use issues. If you use the right-of-way the interstate highways already have, you don’t need to have a legal fight over building on privately held land.

dylanmorgan,

Yeah, I figured it would be different in different countries. I live in Texas, where a promised high-speed line between Dallas and Houston has been stalled by landowners telling the state to fuck off. If they had asked the Obama administration to let them use the interstates, it would probably be in construction already.

dylanmorgan,

I would put together a costume if it meant I could go trick-or-treating and get tamales and empanadas instead of candy.

dylanmorgan,

I would argue that roadkill is a product of human exploitation of the environment as a whole, so roadkill isn’t vegan.

Also, if roadkill is vegan you know you’re going to get some psycho with a massive cow catcher on the front of his pickup who’s “vegan” because he only eats what he runs down in his truck.

dylanmorgan,

What qualifies as an “indie” RPG? Is that shorthand for “not D&D?”

Do we live in a computer simulation like in The Matrix? Proposed new law of physics backs up the idea (phys.org)

The simulated universe theory implies that our universe, with all its galaxies, planets and life forms, is a meticulously programmed computer simulation. In this scenario, the physical laws governing our reality are simply algorithms. The experiences we have are generated by the computational processes of an immensely advanced...

dylanmorgan,

I got dubious as soon as the author talked about “my theory” and then there was the plug for his dumb book.

dylanmorgan,

I know a dude from Michigan who insists Minnesota is not the Midwest. I won’t show him this map because offering facts and statistics doesn’t change his mind about anything.
