Yet another reason not to use SaaS. With things like Docker it's easier than ever to run your own software in house.

Thanks! It's always encouraging to hear people who've made the journey

I progressed from cigars to cigarettes and that effect eventually got replaced by a more basic feeling of satiating a craving.

Second: Workers aren’t grasping the managerial challenges of leading a remote workforce.

I can grasp it pretty well: Shitty managers can't tell if someone's working without watching them, so they're panicking. Managers who can measure their teams output more accurately than asses-in-chairs aren't having a problem.

As the experts have maintained for years, a flexible hybrid schedule is almost always the proper approach.

The proper approach to have people sitting in an office on a Zoom call, maybe. I've never seen hybrid be as effective as either fully remote or fully on premises.

The reason Y2K wasn't a big deal was through the efforts of software developers and the only recognition they got was the movie Office Space.

Yes and clearly the answer to stopping the band is to assault and tase someone. There's just no other way to handle that situation, just start tazin'

I want to be more alone too, so I'd probably not get to the point where I was close enough to have them tell me to go away.

However, most people probably wouldn't like the actual wilderness. They want a big country house somewhere and when they find out they need to build it themselves they'll go back to the apartment blocks.

One reason I'm a fan of making cities less objectively terrible is that more people will live in them and be even further away from my hovel.

Semi-Hemi-Demigod , 10 months ago to nostupidquestions in What does cigarette smoking do for people?

I'm going to disagree with you on that. Prior to smoking cigarettes I would have a cigar every couple months. This wasn't nearly enough to develop dependency, but I could feel a sense of well-being and relaxation when I had one.

It also contributes to the high.

When I was smoking I found that they enhanced the effects of other drugs. Since it's a stimulant it keeps you from getting sleepy when you're drinking or smoking weed. With coffee I found it smoothed out the jitters and let me work a lot longer without needing food.

That being said, the constant stink on my clothes and the huge price of cigarettes got me to switch to vaping, and I'm reducing the nicotine concentration to help me kick it entirely.

Which is why I'm an anarchist. Pretty much every other system would force me to attempt to be happy in an apartment block, or waste huge amounts of resources creating suburbs that are still too goddamn crowded for me

The priest caste of capitalism - the economists - do not understand why lowly humans will not sacrifice their lives to the Great Eternal and Unaging Corporations.

I’d gladly walk my ass out to the wilderness rather than live in an apartment block, but at least then there’d be an extra spot.
