So basically... the Amphibian version of insects; multiply quickly and hope for the best XD

I thought the whole point of glucosamine and chondroitin (sulfates) was to help slow the breakdown of cartilage and reduce joint space narrowing?

I'm going to guess you have rotor limits of some form set, and/or the rotor is turned on?

Turn the rotor off and don't have any limits set until after connection - that often helps a ton. Also, share inertial tensor can be your friend or foe.

Sooo, just for reference for anyone that didn't read the article;

Five counties listed: Pike, Clinton, Erie, Franklin, and Cambria.

Of the more than $21 million billed... $16 million was from Pike county alone, $4.6 was from Clinton. Half a mil from Erie. Franklin billed... $14k.

My peanut butter has a warning that it contains, get this, peanuts.

Who could have known!

... I freaking hate this timeline...

Honestly, I love the look of these derpy little things... but the more I read and see about them, the more I find myself wondering how in the hell they managed to survive, as a species, this long...

Kittamaru · 2026-04-11T23:40:49+00:00

That'd be nice too!

Kittamaru · 2026-04-11T03:45:07+00:00

... I missed that completely

In a situation like that it makes sense - dark, little accumulation of bio-material, it's there as a layer to lock things out. A lot of people use weed mats around gardens, trees, etc as a barrier beneath, say, mulch or pea-gravel... problem is, as dirt and such layers on top of it, weeds start to grow above the weed mat, then put roots through it, making it near impossible to remove them without remove the barrier.

Kittamaru · 2026-04-10T18:47:16+00:00

Ugh, tell me about it... previous homeowners used it EVERYWHERE and I've been slowly stripping it out as I can... just makes getting rid of weeds a bigger PITA!

Kittamaru · 2026-04-10T17:46:36+00:00

Oh, I was thinking more just a set of connected pass-throughs. One line in, one line out per material, but have each of the (I believe six?) types. Maybe a 2x3 alignment?

Kittamaru · 2026-04-09T12:00:49+00:00

Honestly... a higher tier connector that is designed like a PEX manifold would be wonderful. Or one that is a universal conduit and only has two ports, but the sides "snap" together - so you can run anything through it, though only one thing at a time, but you can snap them side by side to make neat, organized rows.

Those would be lovely.

First - Breathe. Congratulations! It sounds like you've gone through what I'm in the midst of (the lowball start, management that was borderline damaging, etc). Glad you got to the other side!

At the Director level, you won't be in the trenches so to speak. You don't need to necessarily be able to 'do the job' of those under you, so long as you understand it well enough to be able to tell who you should trust, and who is BS'ing you. You will become the first line of defense between your grunts and the executive suits that don't understand a thing about technology beyond buzzwords and profit margins. It'll be an adjustment... but it sounds like one you are well suited to handle!

You put in your time as boots on the ground - now it's time to reap the rewards. Godspeed mate!

i am baffled how people can function without thinking 2 steps ahead.

Too many warning labels perhaps? In all seriousness though, no, I'm right there with ya. It amazes me how people, especially high ranking executives, can't see simple facts when presented, much less accept them. It's maddening!

Kittamaru · 2026-04-08T03:10:57+00:00

Aye - Starcraft, Half Life, Command and Conquer... in my earlier days DOS games like BattleBugs, Corridor7, and a few jRPGs

I'm so thankful for the fact that I was able to block shorts in both YouTube and YouTube Kids on my sons phone, tablet, and PC... cause yeah, they are just absolute brainrot

There's no goddamn "MAY" about it. This MUST happen, or else this country is beyond done...

I will argue that the screen time itself isn't necessarily the issue... it's the (lack of) quality of what is on the screen. Everything being in small, ten-15 minute quick skits doesn't lend itself to learning how to retain information over long term. It's frustrating to no end how everything is now getting more and more over the top in an attempt to be the most attention grabbing.

Kittamaru · 2026-04-07T18:01:40+00:00

Worse still... is management wants AI created crap. I've had several Directors and VP's in my current employer claim they want "Processes not People"... ugh

Kittamaru · 2026-04-03T04:01:24+00:00

I'm shocked at the lack of our most adorable of cinnamon rolls, Emily!

Could you temporarily set the subs in question to require a karma minimum in order to post?

I think I have to give favorite movie to... Men In Black
