I bring this up the time how Reagan didn’t win in a landslide, Mondale fuckin lost in a land slide.

Even the worst NFL team will destroy the next best team they could face that was worse than them. Mondale was your local junior college team going up against the Jets. A 50-1 score is spun as the Jets winning in a land slide and not spun as how shitty the junior college was.

I’ll bite. What were your extremely good reasons not to vote?

That you don’t understand the realestate market? Or you didn’t know this has been projected for a decade now from millennials getting as old as the avg age of first time home buyers and being the largest % share of the US population creating more demand than available supply?

Yes the largest generational share of the population is the millennials most of whom are just becoming the age of the average first time homebuyer. Creating a sharp spike in demand for realestate.

The other part i don’t see anyone mentioning is that this was all projected as a result of millennial generation, the largest % of population by generation comparison, came into the age of buying homes. Creating a sharp spike in demand over supply.

I wanna say there is a hierarchy of enforcability to trademarks, copyrights and patents on top of their application requisites. I also think that Patents are sort of the top tier that all regulations apply to with a trickle down effect in how they apply to TM’s and C’s. Don’t quote me on it tho. I’m going off the time at work years ago when the idea of patenting or tradmarking a thing. I might also be mixing it up with how they regulate Trademarks vs Registered Copyrights.

You know they aren’t a cell phone company anymore but primarily focus on telecommunication infrastructure and IoT technology, right? Fueling a $23 Billion revenue stream. The hack is to give access abilities to the 3rd largest telecommunications company in the world. You say the data is only worth $20,000 but I don’t think you have a very good understanding of corporate espionage value. The hacker is selling an unsubstantiated tool (as in something to use not that its an actual tool or software), that is illegal to use, from unverified seller. The value of something doesn’t ever reflect the value of the product it reflects the value people are willing to pay for the product. The access to a multi billion dollar telecommunications company is worth a fuckton itself, but that’s not what they’re selling. They’re selling the ability to access that data which carries, like I said, tons of risk and potential cost. The hacker prolly does this to mitigate fallout if caught by selling access to data and not the data itself.

It takes two to make a conversation so to make it casual both parties must converse casually. If you are the only comment opposing this conversation’s casual nature then it’s not the person casually initiating conversation that is at fault but your response that is making the conversation non-casual/uncasual/anti-casual/casual-less idk what the word for opposit of casual would be lol.

It never hurts to keep a pulse on your marketing value tho. When was the last time you sent out your resume to see what you would be making anywhere else.

I’m new to office work scene so take this next bit anecdotally coming from someone who spent 10-15 years working as a machinist, chef and nurses aid, in that I lack the drive most have to be upset about the working from home shit. I’m a far more productive human outside of work with the structure and stability I get from having 9-5 hours 5 days a week work schedule. It’s something that’s always been apart of life and am too long sighted to let the 2 pamdemic years out of the 40-50 total years ill be working affect any decision regarding my means to make a living.

My approach to my career has always been influenced by what my uncle told me when i was in highschool. Which was, that even if my dream job was marine biology, after 30 years of feeding fish to dolphins I’ll get sick of it.

The paraphrased message of it was to make career decisions based off salary, compensation or job stability and not based off what makes me happy because a person’s happiness is more affected by not having the means to live a happy life outside of work because your career path decision resulted in you being without a job.

For you specifically my recommendation will assume you don’t work for pricks and would request with your application submission to have your interviewer not reach out to your current employer.

I would send out feelers to jobs you researched and classify as being “dream” jobs or enough improvements to you your current compensation for you to be interested. I would do this in 2 fashions. The first by sending resumes with your current qualifications and the second by maybe not sending resumes but definitely reaching out on jobs that would be available after you recieved the next tier of certification(s). Cross that with the cost, both on financial terms but also time spent terms (I’ve quantified this by apply my hourly wage as the hourly cost for time required for training. Not sire that is appropriate way of applying monetary value to free time spent), plus any additional but measurable costs or savings from things like commute for training or work from commute cost-savings.

If any jobs remain in the black means you will be better off making the change.

As for help making the decision to change, that’s all between you and your household dependants and filers. Only you know your own abilities to adapt to change, cope with stress, get along with new crowds. You also only know the other environmental variables affecting your decision like would you need to move residence, would there be a window of lost medical coverage (which would ve grouped in with the cost analysis if you needed to pay for your own medical switching jobs), but most importantly how much value you’re are putting into the things your missing out on. If you are missing out on hours spent gaming then maybe naaaa that shouldn’t be something to factor in. If your missing out on your dying mother/husband/child’s last days before the cancer kicks in then yeah that should play a factor in your decision.

Edit: To go a bit further, you don’t even have to go on any actual interviews. Just look to get accurate information about the job atmosphere and compensation. For me I was able to get that mostly thru the calls to set up an interview.

When I did go thru with seting up a couple interviews with the best options, there was no gripe from any of them when it came time to give them an answer to start the job and my response was always, “Thank you for the offer and time you gave me but my current employer has decided to match your competing offer to keep me on their team.” By taking this approach, you mitigate backlash from current employer finding out you are looking around, you gave potential employer prospects no reason to think you were only fishing for competitive offers or had no intent of taking the job but rather gave them proof the reasons they were going to hire you were justified that your employer’s ROI out weigh your employee compensation costs. Plus any company that would be bitter for potential employee candidates giving current employers opportunities to match their compensation offers is really looking to hire someone barely smart enough to do the job but dumb enough to not leave.

My experience using these recommendations are only been driven by requesting wages increases via presenting current employers with competing offers to match, not for improving my position/role thru training. So to add to the disclaimer in the body of this message, these recommendstions also assume you know your value to your employer and have been in good standing for several years in their eyes.

WRONG! Companies specializing in the luxury car industry are recession proof. No matter what the economy does, the tax brackets who can afford luxury cars aren’t affected enough to lose their ability to pre-order the next year’s Ferrari model every year. /s

I more amazed the most used gpu on steam still isn’t enough to crack the top 30. I assumed Steam represented most all PC gamers. Has AI really affected commercial work stations that much where most companies are buying work stations with high end gpu’s? Or thst my understand that workstations generally didn’t require anything more than an integrated gpu at most.

It gets problematic for “AI” & raytracing stuff.

Why is raytracing sought after? Wasn’t there an article recently that its really only effective when used on old games? To be honest tho, I have no idea what it even is or does and have never noticed a difference in a game using it or not using it.

Awe shit we made it, fellow defederation fam! An article reporting on a lemmy/mastodon post from a couple days ago being posted back on the platform it was sourced from lol! The first time I’m seeing this happen in the wild since leaving reddit. There should be a name for this, like a Grandslam Repost but without the negative connotations that come with the term repost. I’m thinking like a phrase to show its a badge of honor not a badge of shame.

I said this after game 1 as a Bills fan. Some of my brethren were upset the Cardinals game was so close and my argument was that by season end we would realize that the Cardinals win was a win against one of the better teams in the league.

I think that is undercutting the prime requirement to be in a cult… too dumb to question shit like that.

Oh yeah? And how many McDonald’s dollar cheese burgers can you afford with all that psychological wealth you snowflakes acquired? /s

Lol you’d already have to be paid to release that many albums of just instrumentals. This was before mixtapes and would’ve actually cost a pretty penny to make back then.

Also wasn’t there a big thing about artists like this not getting paid for their samples being used? I remember a story of the guy who made the drum beat sampled in dozens of really popular songs that never saw a dime.
