20 is the end of cool. Any more than that is in hot range for me.

PsychedSy ,

I mean, it’d be kind of fun…

PsychedSy ,

Kinda depends, doesn’t it? A travel that let’s you see glimpses of reality/earth implies you’re making smaller skips that may keep you somewhat held in place. Being able to establish a vector through time may also imply control of vectors in space.

Also, six months would likely take us farther than the other side of the sun. If we’re completely de-referenced we might be able to find a universal reference frame or some wild shit.

Being human sucks.

House Votes to Extend—and Expand—Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, a Major US Spy Program (www.wired.com)

After months of delays, false starts, and interventions by lawmakers working to preserve and expand the US intelligence community’s spy powers, the House of Representatives voted on Friday to extend Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) for two years....

PsychedSy ,

They can even do a parallel investigation. Use secret information to guide an investigation in the open.

PsychedSy ,

He’s not useful to anyone. He has no principles so you can’t predict what he’ll do.

PsychedSy ,

A rice cup is 3/4 US customary cup.

PsychedSy ,

Niña Piñata, obvs.

PsychedSy ,

I actively use mine at work.

PsychedSy ,

I work in an area that doesn’t allow phones or anything.

PsychedSy ,

I wish. Nowhere near that cool.

PsychedSy ,

Perl? I had fun compiling perl from source back in the day.

PsychedSy ,

My niece does this and it’ll be your fault when I go insane.

PsychedSy ,

I’ll have to try balatro after I finish minishoot.

PsychedSy ,

At least go with Geoncider in Chief or something. It may not be a word, but it still feels grammatically correct.

PsychedSy ,

Fucking weird comment

PsychedSy ,

Dear god, someone needs to make a physics based home screen. It would be utter hell. When you move, it all gets tossed around.

PsychedSy ,

Widgets are now 3d boxes and you have to tilt your phone down and flip it until they face you.

PsychedSy ,

There’s probably a live wallpaper for that.

PsychedSy ,

Oh oh. Gotcha. Imagine not being able to make an emergency phone call until it settled down.

PsychedSy ,

Recommend a reasonably not shitty brand?

PsychedSy ,

I’ll check my local wineries. Ty.

PsychedSy ,

It doesn’t say where the dog got ran over. Could’ve happened in his living room.

PsychedSy ,

Also Iain Banks. One of his M-less books was on Play as an M and it’s the only non-pew fiction I’ve read in a long time, but I actually finished it.

PsychedSy ,

I couldn’t finish a Deepness in the Sky. It didn’t seem like the sci-fi was important - it was just a setting.

PsychedSy ,

That will never end. Every re-read for me is fantastic.

PsychedSy ,

I mean I’ll still shoot myself in the foot if I think it’s hilarious.

PsychedSy ,

How much of the gospels have to be true for you to be comfortable jesus existed? On one end you’ve got a dude named Jesus (0%) to every non-magical account at 100%.

Even the non-mystical stuff should have left a mark, but it doesn’t seem like it really did.

PsychedSy ,

I’m not sure if Boeing is going the same route we are, but blue collar people - the ones building and assembling airplanes - are treated like replaceable cogs. They aren’t taught the actual meaning or point of quality/quality management systems. It’s mostly warm bodies. When I ask people if they’ve read the specs that cover the processes they’re doing, they stare at me. It’s maddening. You’re performing a complex process solely on OJT? Fucking lunacy.

PsychedSy ,

I’m blue collar and deal with that sort of thing. In the last ten years it’s actually gotten worse. It’s like we’re giving them tooling that’s more “they can make it work” than something with an obvious interface. Things I think are pretty basic (give mechanics star knobs, not bolts) are just fucking ignored. Tooling should get out of the way of your job as much as possible, not require even more tools to manage it.

This isn’t just putting shit together, though. Most assembly tasks aren’t tight tolerance, but they always involve multiple specs that each person is supposed to at least know about. I haven’t been through production training, but the production people I interact with scare me sometimes, and it’s not their fault if the importance of quality isn’t adequately explained.

But I made it clear I wasn’t blaming them in the first post, so I’m not even sure where that came from.

PsychedSy , (edited )

What I do is similar, and our customers are in house so we have some latitude. We’ve got fairly loose standards about how we build most things, and usually more than one option - but the finished product has rigid requirements. We get to “equivalent or better” some things, but even knowing that is kind of fucky. Grade 8 hardware is better than grade 5, right? Except for safety critical shit. Then you need stress disposition to go to grade 8.

We’ve lost a lot of old peeps to golden handshakes and being mad at the company/union. In a few years my org lost an absurd number of years of experience. Think thousands.

PsychedSy ,

I mean I’m a union member and it isn’t much better. There’s a lot of talk but nobody seems to actually care.

PsychedSy ,

CEOs have cliques now. When we replace one a new fleet of fucking VPs come with them. They don’t fire all of the old ones, either.

It’s maddening. You still in aerospace?

PsychedSy ,

In aircraft, with unions, that always falls on the company. Management is too busy sucking the next level’s dick or too fucking stupid to do anything but shuffle problems. It’s special.

PsychedSy ,

How close do you work with your users?

PsychedSy ,

Lmao. I’m talking about management and union officials.

I get paid insanely well for my area. Our insurance is fucking top tier. Doctor? 20. Hospital? 150. 10k infusion? 15. Deductible? Haven’t touched it in twelve years. We do well, and people don’t care. Management is shit, which helps none.

Corporate incentives are just not set up for quality. They treat employees like they’re unimportant and replaceable. Pay isn’t everything.

PsychedSy ,

I get you. Proper management is a game of incentives.

If you offer a manager 15% over his highest paid employee, are you promoting good employees or inflating costs?

Or if you base it on number of employees? Same thing.

The reality seems to be that incentives are fucking hard and large corps can eat it because [government regs|capitalism] make it profitable.

It’s all about metrics. MBA metrics are taught. Same as HR. When ford tried to overpay his workers and offer better hours he got fucking sued.

PsychedSy ,

I’m sorry but I’m kind of confused.

PsychedSy ,

I’m so, so sorry. There should be buffer peeps that understand both sides at least a bit. What works in CAD doesn’t always work in the shop, what the shop wants isn’t always something that meets reqs. I’ve seen both fuck shit horribly.

If you ask for an intermediate you get a manager favorite that isn’t useful. Corps are inherently inefficient. It’s a shitty life.

PsychedSy ,

Fair enough.

PsychedSy ,

Bruh. On the blue side, I wish we’d met one another at work.

It’s fucking drastic. Low cost and cheap aren’t the fucking same.

PsychedSy ,

Fuck yeah. It’s not worth it. I love our engineers/designers but they’ve picked up so much. Why stay?

PsychedSy ,

Ah, more FCK jokes.

PsychedSy ,

If a lot of them are ridiculous speech, anti-trans and abortion laws that could also inflate it. Pass dumb laws, get dumb court cases.

Kansas Is About to Pass the Most Extreme Age Verification Law Yet (www.404media.co)

An age verification bill in Kansas that is the most extreme in the country has passed both House and Senate and is on its way to the governor’s desk. The bill will make sites with more than 25 percent adult content liable to heavy fines if they don’t verify that visitors are over the age of 18. It also calls being gay...

PsychedSy ,

Hopefully we’ve learned our lesson with Brownback.

PsychedSy ,

We’ll then put all the fuckcars people in prison. If they’d had their way, we’d all be dead.

PsychedSy ,

They’re right when looking at the specs. Took british common law then added a bunch of inalienable rights.

We fucked up the implementation.

PsychedSy ,

No. We’re personally liable for falsifying records. If someone bought off that operation without verifying it, they can be fined and imprisoned.

PsychedSy ,

There are specific laws for falsifying records that apply to the employees.
