On point, additionally religion has also effectively associated itself with spirituality. It’s also associated itself with caring for others, volunteering, community, togetherness and acceptance. Additionally it’s a great place to network and organize communities. Even if belief has faded, tradition is usually important with that group of people.

As the other user stated it’s for going to large events (corporate comicon). What they failed to mention is that it’s also considered a safety issue to some extent. It also labels you as a tourist and likely shows that you are carrying spending money. It’s relevant in medium sized cities, but larger ones the tourism is massive income and the locals know there will be consequences for acting out.

Another user was demanding 4x salary for in office, I would consider a 20% pay bump per in office day a reasonable request that likely results in a remote contract. It’s essentially saying it will cost you double to make me come in for that day.

I got my license at 18 before I moved out, but my parents made the entire ordeal a nightmare. It was more anxiety than it was worth to get my required miles in with them as the instructor. People living in large cities often never get the opportunity, it’s high stress and taxis are readily available. Car ownership is expensive and public transportation is available, as well as biking. In uni I taught several Asian students how to drive because countries like Japan often have expensive training programs, and insurance is painful for testers. European cities are often designed for micro mobility and bikes and smart cars are preferred just because of size.

Microsoft has been building the O365 platform to lock out competitors and locking users into an ecosystem that is difficult to leave. They systematically eliminate competition and have pushed to create laws that make competition harder. In embrace extend extinguish, they are in phase 3, which is a massive red flag. They also started putting out spyware and malware into their software and have proven they can’t maintain security; making them a bad actor in a position of power. Scale is debatable, but Microsoft is undeniably evil in 2024.

It’s released but it’s insane feature light, has massive injestion problems, requires massive collection overhead and doesn’t have a fraction of splunks indexing. And it’s using the standard dd UI and I personally dont like. Logs aren’t metrics, they need a different interface.

Datadog logs are basically in beta. You can send them synthetics apm and rum but I would be interested in spinning up my own private greylog instance to get away from DD logs

#4 #3 pollutants list every year (p6) separate because the materials have different density and when damaged separate (p10). Feel free to do your own research Lemmy downvotes effort that they disagree with. https://www.bottlebill.org/images/PDF/Dutch study on caps_Doppenrapport_EN_2017_DEF_small.pdf

The advertised benefit is that if you throw away the cap and bottle separately, you have 2 pieces of trash to clean up instead of 1. The actual benefit is that bottling companies can charge more for a more complex mold, but the same amount of materials. Lobbyiest lobbied and tada! In reality both pieces end up in the same landfill or in the same water current to garbage island. Now we have an antiquated law and an annoying policy to follow.

Skimmed most of the thread and there are a lot of guesses, the actual answer is presumably impossible given the parameters. Asset management tracking software is pretty much permanent tracking these days, screen idle time, keystrokes per minute, application focus tracking. A lot of higher end devices have gps chips in them by default, your works VPN reports it’s trace route so it will have general geographic location. Microsoft and Google cooperate accounts even offer remote hard drive wipes to protect company secrets, regardless of the location. My work gets reports of where people connect from as part of the RTO policy. We had someone working from their parents house for a few weeks and got emailed by HR asking why they were logging in from an unapproved area. Most places can pull this data, but not all of them act on it.

I took out a 31k loan, I’ve currently paid 40k against it and still owe 20k. Exact scenario. Turns out 17yo me didn’t know what major I wanted and I had to defer until I had a new plan. The current system is predatory.

You can also have a seamless transition, multiple varieties of the fade or a tapered cut. High end barbers also shave art into side of the head. Lots of different options, but generally people do fades.

Highly recommend looking up a guide from a hair cutting chain. From the sounds of it you want a crewcut ~20mm 3/4", “blend the sides” so that it transitions well, they might ask what size to buzz the side, you can just say “shorter than the top”. Crew cut will give you the longest time between haircuts as well, take notes of the actual length or clip size so you can be more precise next time. https://www.greatclips.com/lookbook/crew-haircut

I’ll also drop this in case it helps:

I have nipples Greg, can you milk me?

There is a large difference between factually incorrect and unpopular opinion. Downvotes are more of an indication posts are incorrect facts, not unpopular opinions. Even popular opinions end up generating discussion. The original design of the voting system was to up vote stuff worth seeing and talking about.

I’m going to be late to the next meeting, I can’t quit vim ☺️

Regardless of user count they have promised support for windows 10 until October 2025. Windows 11 has more ads and data harvesting.

Dudemeister, went to school with a German guy with the last name. They also used it on scrubs https://scrubs.fandom.com/wiki/Keith_Dudemeister

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=h5JNnvXjmmY Looks like they actually solved it a while ago, this video shows multiple base languages. Sorry but I can’t speak to specifics, but I do know my next project.

I’ve been watching a few projects that are attempting to live translate videos. We are very close
