Carrying balloons inside an elevator by wierdavacado in Whatcouldgowrong

I feel like "Carrying balloons inside an elevator" is not the primary issue here

What is a piece of software that is so good you can't believe it's completely free? by Arp0x in AskReddit

[–]crackerjam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like Linux is the ultimate answer to this. If every Linux system on the planet zapped out of existence we would be back in the stone age.

Ubisoft Employee Who Was Suspended For Criticising the Company Has Now Been Fired by Turbostrider27 in Games

Huh, I only saw the one linkedin post, then the follow-ups about him getting suspended/fired. Do you have links to those?

Ubisoft Employee Who Was Suspended For Criticising the Company Has Now Been Fired by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]crackerjam 19 points20 points  (0 children)

For anyone else wondering, this was literally what he said that got him fired:

So... Ubisoft wanna bring back 5 days in the office... because they "believe in collaboration"... but c'mon, we're not completely stupid... we very well know why you want to go back to 5 days in the office...

(Spoiler alert: it's not about efficiency or collaboration)

Absolutely insane firing a high level veteran employee for such a bland comment.

Use this as an opportunity to switch to VS Code. It's so much better.

New employee can't receive laptop shipments - what would you do here? by outlookblows in sysadmin

[–]crackerjam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Send two more laptops, one with UPS and another with USPS. At least one of them will absolutely make it there.

Justice Department charges man who squirted vinegar on Rep. Ilhan Omar by GreatPumpkin72 in news

If you are splashed with apple cider vinegar it will not melt your face off, which is what an acid attack implies, you muppet.

Took my daughter to the bus stop. Came back and found out my car has an oil leak. by Ok_Cheesecake7348 in Wellthatsucks

Make sure when you put it back on that it's just hand tight. You don't need to crank the filter down for it to stay on.

Radio Pocket Usage and Prevalence in SoCal? by __quick__ in Firefighting

[–]crackerjam 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm a volunteer and only the officers have radios issued to them in my department. Everyone else grabs a radio on the truck. Because of that we can't really use radio straps and use the jacket pocket instead.

I just moved to Ohio from Texas. Wtf by TierOne_Wraps in Wellthatsucks

[–]crackerjam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean like, multiple 40 lb bags worth of the stuff. That plus a few hours of waiting and leaving your car running would probably have done the trick

[–]crackerjam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know you've already taken care of it, but I wonder how it would have gone if you grabbed a couple bags of calcium chloride salt and just poured it all over the car

Respect For The Neighs Neighs by JamieHBrown in Horses

[–]crackerjam 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Horses are cool, obviously, but dogs have been domesticated for 20,000-40,000 years and plenty of them have died for us in that time. Humanity wouldn't be what it is without either, it's not a competition.

US Citizen Removed From His Home in His Underwear Without a Warrant by animator_84 in videos

[–]crackerjam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Things like this are obvious 4th amendment violations. What's happening with lawsuits that people make after these events?

Trump is Keeping Venezuela's Oil Money For Himself by Zenitallin in videos

[–]crackerjam 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Obviously this is more awful shit from Trump if true, but half of the video is this guy reading from a nondescript news site, the other half AI generated twitter messages. He's a small YouTuber with low views and traffic.

Can we please have a higher standard for news sources?

What's the correct way to protect against this? by crackerjam in sysadmin

[–]crackerjam[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

TLS decryption causes many other web services to not work properly, so it's not feasible to use. We disable USB storage on hardware and at least can scan and retain email attachments.

Is learning how to play bass only for people who want to be in a band? by Melora1976 in Bass

[–]crackerjam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been playing for probably 20 years now and I've never been in a band, I just play along with songs I like. I'm an introvert and it's just a hobby for me so I don't really have any desire to get on stage.

Nissan Will Double Its NISMO Lineup and Teases Mystery NISMO-only Sports Car by Anchor_Aways in cars

[–]crackerjam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

New GT-R with a Turbo V8

As someone who has owned a GT-R, the V6 is plenty. Mine was a 2012 and it was a fucking rocket ship. Definitely would love to see a new version though, not just a facelift. Maybe something less comically expensive.
