No, I think it’s great to be able to get rid of shitty voice work with the click of a button. Wish I could use it on my bf’s Brian Sanderson audiobooks. That guy’s simpering, exaggeratedly high pitched female voices are so unpleasant to listen to.
There’s a nest right outside our bedroom window. They’re on their second group of babies this year.
I support this idea.
Imagine not liking the voicing of a book, so you just pick a different one.
Yeah, I don’t prefer that. But with some things I feel like it’s barely a downside, and I’d put Boxes into that category. It’s useful and well-designed enough in terms of functionality that I’m willing to overlook the Gnominess.
I use random websites that don’t require Javascript, tbh, and manually paste the name into KeePassXC.
Ohh, is there a specific brand?
I installed Ubuntu in 2007 or so, but moved right after and got a new computer, so I didn’t really do anything with it. I installed Peppermint 9 on a new laptop a few years before Windows 7 went EOL because it came with Windows 10 installed but couldn’t actually run it. Ran great with Linux. When Windows 7 stopped getting security updates, I installed Peppermint on my desktop, too. After the man dev passed away, the project went it a different direction, so I switched to OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. That was a few years ago. Still with it, still happy.
Good point about Tabasco.
Hmmm. I never considered black truffle to have heat.
Trappey’s Bull is good. Also have a few varieties of Tabasco (jalapeno, scorpion pepper, cayenne & garlic), and some made by the students at a local culinary program.
I enjoy thinking, closing my eyes for a bit, or focusing on my breathing. Or I’ll listen to the birds outside.
Mostly, my experience agrees with this, but I did quit one of my longest jobs because I had a jealous coworker who kept talking about bringing a gun to work and shooting me.
I’ve gone to local meetups that were cool, but it seems like most of the events on there now cost money, and are hosted by some life coach or guru.
Animal rescue is a great way to meet awesome people. Animal lovers tend to be laid back and compassionate, and if you love animals, you always have something interesting to talk about.
And fast paced environments tend to have a focus on “time-management skills.” I once interviewed at a place that was looking for someone with “excellent time management skills” because people kept going on vacation, getting back, and never being able to get caught back up with their workload because things kept being assigned to them while they were out and no one was assigned to cover for them. I felt like the manager who was interviewing me knew exactly what the real problem was.
I always used “gotta go drain the lizard.”
IME, when they talk about sense of urgency, they want you to cut corners and rush through everything, but somehow make no mistakes. Usually said when you’ve been assigned double the normal workload for your position.
I fell for this once. Thought it sounded great. Everyone at that place hated each other, constantly spread rumors and sabotaged each other’s work.
I use uMatrix to control exactly which cookies I accept, and only accept what I need.
