Back after the initial the reddit migration some guy posted that he was going camping and wanted to know how he could ensure he wouldn’t poop for 3 days.

I preferred the no poop for 3 days thing but both are classics

Years ago I was working second shift, 4pm - 1230am. My manager had a 2 hour commute and had to wake up at 7am to get his kid to school. He had to be last out by policy and did not want to stay late.

His policy was all your work was to be done by midnight. 12 to 1215 was to clean and organize your station. 1215-1230 was to degown(esd safe/clean room assembly space), get your stuff(lunch boxes, coats etc), use the bathroom, warm up your car and wait for 1230. He was out the door with the alarm set by 1235. If you were still in the building have fun talking to the police.

He would check and if you were still working at 1205 would come by and ask why you’re not done yet. It worked out extremely well.

Quinos in 2005-2010 was awesome. Their management fell off with handling their franchise owners though to my knowledge.

Try to get a job you enjoy. For example I had a friend who liked tinkering with cars, he got a job as a auto mechanic. Some days he would be tired after work but on most Saturdays he would still be outside replacing/installing something on his own car.

I liked fixing things and solving problems. The joy when everything worked as it should and the machine started up. Having a problem in mind and breaking it down to separate components then understanding how it all interconnected and then seeing where the failure was. My favorite job was as a engineering technician.

I worked with someone who was going through a rough patch of life(had back issues due to previous job, his wife left him and they were fighting over custody). He straight up told the manager he just wanted a basic job that didn’t require him to think and he could just get into a zone of work. He was given such a job, basically put unit in machine one, press start, take unit out, clean off burrs with file, blow off with compressed air, put unit in machine two, take unit out and pass it to next station. He didn’t know how the machines worked or did he want to. He would call me over when something went wrong or the machines weren’t working right. That said holy shit could he put out a lot of work. His average was about 1.5 times what was expected out of most people, his peak was over 2 times.

Don’t make your favorite hobby your career or you will likely end up with both a hobby and job you hate. Find something adjacent to your favorite hobby.

One additional reason for this, if you mess something up you want sine working method to look up a resolution. If you change both and do something wrong so both systems are broke you don’t have a way to access resources that tell you what you dud wrong and how to fix.

Years ago when I was living with my parents, my mother was at work, I worked nights. She called me during the day and this was the conversation :

Mom: I need a favor, go into my bedroom, get my cell phone and bring it to me.

Me : you are are work right?

Mom: yeah

Me: you can’t make personal calls at work so you must be on break right?

Mom: what? Just bring me my phone!

Me: if you are on break, how are you calling me?

Mom: oh shit, nevermind I found it.

Yeah the problem is I don’t have a card reader on my main desktop and I tried a bunch of my old passwords and none worked so I was just going to reimage it.

Interesting, I did not know that…

Yeah I’m thinking my SD card is failing… I know it’s slow but I tried to do a fresh install in recovery 7 hours ago and it’s still initialing the “noob” installer.

Supposedly I was thinking to small, I was thinking like trying to use nmap to discover all ip addresses on my lan or load vim to practice vim motions (I get the idea but I’m still too slow put in alot of commands cause I’m like ok… Up 10 lines, ok, up is… Look on cheat sheet… I… then number of lines… That was 10…look on cheat sheet… Oh just enter 10…it didn’t work… Figure out because it’s not ingrained in my head the time looking at a cheat sheet is making commands time out).

Yeah, I tried virtual box on my main system and kept running into odd problems with every distro. For example Debian had a full second of input lag, with 2 cores of a 13th Gen i5 and 16 gb of ram dedicated to it. Kali would install and I ejected the “installation medium” aka the iso and reboot and the virtual box couldn’t see any bootable drive. I tried fedora and it kept freezing on installing(sat at like 35% for over 3 hours)

Pretty sure it’s rasp2b but maybe a rasp3… Its in a case so I have to open it and look at the markings

I cause a genocide of white cheddar cheeze-its… Does that count?

Wait… Ups drivers get $46 a hour? Where?

Possible but with no other evidence I would reserve judgemtof this man

But it should be attached to his sleeve…

Is it just me or does this look like a photoshop/Ai as the badge on his arm doesn’t contour to his name like a sewn or iron-on badge would??

Do you know the first words spoken from a native American to the pilgrims?

“Can I have a beer?”

No, I’m not joking. It was a native American named Samoset. He spoke perfect English and had crossed the Atlantic 6 times.

That may be my only choice. Was trying to avoid it as I don’t want to lose everything on my computer and dual booting would be difficult as I don’t have a huge hard drive.

I “tried” Linux but never got it usable. I initially decided to run a vm on virtualbox to experiment. I tried Debian, arch, kali, Ubuntu and all ended up having an input lag of 1-2 seconds. Windows the system was fine. But I found my self unable to do basic tasks it was no bad. I don’t mean I didn’t know a command or unwilling to find a foss software equivalent, I mean it took several tries to get the mouse over the X to close a program due to input lag.

OK I then decided to try a docker container with Linux. It got so messed up if I open docker desktop it displays an error that the container was unable to start, if you close the error to edit settings or create a new container it closes docker desktop, no way to fix it.

I was able to get a wsl command line working but all I found it able to do is add 5 steps to everything due to having to start the command, start wsl, log on, elevate permissions etc.
