When you’re working you need to communicate in a lot more depth than that though. That’s exactly why they want to talk Spanish, to speed up communication or be more precise.

Social language skills are on the easier side. You can get away with a lot of mistakes.

How steep is the learning curve there? Should I just go with Plex and keep it simple?

You’ve got it the wrong way round. Jellyfin is simple. I’ve never understood Plex.

6 figure jobs are still common, but not at the entry level. The companies that used to offer such thing are taking that money and investing in AI, thinking that they won’t need new blood.

They’re wrong, but that’s what’s happening.

Then throw your money in a different direction.

It’s a projection. No damage has been done. It just dominates your view for a few minutes.

Even if you disagree with it, it’s such a mild form of protest to take exception to. Just let people express themselves.

Pretty poor counter argument.

“Justice for the abused” Vs “Oooh! Pretty building”

The thing with chemo is that it’s pure poison.

It’s cheap to run for one person. Any service running it isn’t cheap when it has a good number of users.

I’m actually wondering if we’re headed towards a deflationary event. I don’t think the underlying customer base can support a lot of the prices now as wages have stayed well below inflation, plus I believe some of the inflation is artificial profit taking. Oil is half the price it was a few years ago, so transportation of goods should be a lot cheaper. Energy as a whole has been getting cheaper too as new renewable generation comes online, so those costs come down too.

The economists would think some deflation would be the worst thing ever, but the inflation spike of the last few years doesn’t seem to have a solid foundation.

I mean that episode specifically. It’s the low point of the entire show so far. “The Towering Inferno” in space.

Compared to what came before, it was a huge step down in writing quality. S3 didn’t really recover.

I wish I hadn’t seen it, but yes. That was what sprung into my mind too.

My guess… It was anfo but they tried to set it off with a bit of string that they lit.

It’s rarely true.

You can aim to do something good, with a risk of something bad happening (e.g. as another poster said, rolling the dice on surgery to alleviate suffering at the risk of the patient dying)

…or you can do evil.

The “lesser of two evils” is just used as justification for something that can’t be morally justified otherwise.

Sometimes in the future…

“Mummy, what kind of man was Daddy?”

“Well… His final words were ‘Counting or not counting gang violence?’”

Depends if it’s actually a funny joke.

A fixated mind might take an opportunity to blurt something out in a conversation… It would be awkward, not really fit in with what’s happening, and then the hiding reflex takes over. It gets played off as a joke to cover up what happened.

A active mind will dance and play with all kinds of ideas and sometimes will play with the concept of death, what it means and how bizarre the concept is on a lot of levels. Jokes will be throwaway comments that are at least mildly witty.

Having heard enough tales from my sister, Nurses are particularly bad in this regard. I think it’s partly because seniority is so heavily related to how long they’ve been putting up with this shit. It’s not the best leaders that become senior. It’s the people with the most battle scars.

They do. You look at it every time you see the contents of your disk. It’s just organised in a tree to make path based lookups fast and locate organises its database differently to make fast basename lookups.

You can only make peace if the other side (Russia) stops fighting too.

Russia can make peace today. Withdraw all troops out of Ukraine. Bring their soldiers home. They have no intention to do this.

What a nice looking picture with great big tankers and oil rigs off the coast.
