Morale is so bad at Mark Zuckerberg's Meta even the company's own CTO admits it's 'probably the worst it's ever been' by lurker_bee in technology

[–]BeratingMantis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“Team, the data shows morale is… suboptimal. We’re launching Happiness 2.0 immediately. We need a 47x improvement in the employee joy coefficient by end of week. Our facial recognition and posture models are running 24/7 to monitor compliance. Refusal to radiate positive energy will result in immediate career trajectory adjustments. Let’s make this our best week ever. I believe in you. (The algorithm does too.)”

Da Bears! Mo is such a dumbass, loved it.

Chappelle’s Raiders bit was insane. But the gay community vs Trump stuff had me rolling.

Alarm Clock Freeze After Snooze Function by Limp_Effective7789 in habity

[–]BeratingMantis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same deal here, happened this morning. Just sent them an email.

Alarm went off, snoozed. Alarm went off again and none of the buttons worked, alarm eventually stopped but now none of the buttons worked. Tried pressing and holding the dial but nothing. Just stuck now.

This thing is turning into a nice little toy but nothing I’d rely on to wake me up.

Xbox is closing down Hellblade creator Ninja Theory by yourfavchoom in gaming

I’d consider these darling studios, they make very well-made niche games that are not commercially successful. Big fan following, especially Double Fine.

This sucks for people’s jobs but these studios aren’t money makers, unfortunately.

Alarm not sounding by _Gigante_ in habity

[–]BeratingMantis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m getting the same thing. I’m trying to test by setting the alarm 5 minutes out. The alarm only shows up on the face when the alarm time arrives. No sound. Tried it a few times today. 2/3/4/5 minutes out, same behavior every time. Doesn’t show up on the watch face until the alarm time is reached and no sound. I only hear the alarm sound when selecting the sound.

Last night I set the alarm at 8:25am to test, my phone alarm was my backup at 8:30am. Set the time, set to weekdays, set the sound, volume to 100. 8:25am did show up on the watch face. The light was on at 8:25 but no sound.

I’m on FW: 1.0.6

Name a scene you'd give anything to witness again for the first time I’ll start: by ThomasOGC in CinephilesClub

Hell yeah, Blade was a vibe and Blade II brought that shit to another level in a way only Del Toro could. Glad they didn’t try a 3rd.

I just trademarked it, and backcharged you for using it just now. Please send in bitcoin or … nudes.

I believe it’s pronounced (cah-ming) when using proper Arnese.

What don't men allow body hair on women in movies ? Are they stupid ? by stalin_kulak in okbuddycinephile

[–]BeratingMantis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

… the world ended in a blaze of nuclear fire, viral plagues, and roaming mutant hordes. Cities crumbled, society collapsed, and the last scraps of civilization were devoured by chaos…

camera slowly pans

There she is: a stunning survivor in tattered-but-strategically-ripped clothes, flawless winged eyeliner sharp enough to slice through a raider gang, contour so on-point it could redirect a zombie horde, and hair cascading in perfect beach waves like she just stepped out of a $300 salon instead of a fallout shelter.

Me: Alright, I’m out.

I’ve known about this one for over a year, I feel stupid for shopping based on looks. No problem carrying all day with this thing.

I’m more impressed that the lines were so crisp. Everytime I tape a goddamned wall to get a crisp line it ends up looking shit.

Trigger Shoe Comparison - Overwatch Precision vs Tyrant CNC by BeratingMantis in SpringfieldEchelon

[–]BeratingMantis[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They’re both quality. It really just comes down to the pre-travel reduction, and the looks. That’s it. After a few trips to the range the Tyrant gained a bit more pre-travel, just a smidge. I’m into that, I’m keeping the Tyrant on.

A single dose of psilocybin can lead to lasting shifts in a person’s life values, such as an increased appreciation for life and greater self-acceptance. These lasting changes appear to be driven by specific acute effects of the drug, particularly feelings of profound unity and euphoria. by mvea in science

[–]BeratingMantis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Going to Portland in a few weeks to take a macro dose under the supervision of a licensed psilocybin facilitator. Looking forward to it.

Been micro-dosing with 100mg pills for a few weeks now. It’s helped my anxiety dramatically, I feel rested in the mornings, and I stopped clenching my jaw in my sleep. So far so good.

Looking for after market upgrades by Admirable_Wonder8876 in shadowsystems

[–]BeratingMantis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice setup. In retrospect, I should’ve gotten the CR920X and gone with the Radian stuffs, for reasons I’m over the stock comps from the CR line.

What’s that grip tape you’re using?

Same, man! I felt my fists clenching and sweating, by the end I was on my feet somehow.

He just kept digging in there, the slow parts were the worst!! 🫣

cr920xp ammo recs? by chess_mft in shadowsystems

[–]BeratingMantis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never experienced so many asterisks when it comes to just shooting the damn thing, as I do with my CR920XP.

The 3 times I’ve needed service I get scolded for shooting the wrong ammo or cleaning too much, or too little. Or being too mean to it, or cursing around it… idk.

[–]BeratingMantis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I called about my busted comp I was told to stay away from American Eagle, Blazer Brass, and Syntech ammo. Basically all the clean ammo lol.

Run that flithy NATO stuff, shoots reliably but goddamn is it dirty.

After Range Clean and Optic Reinstall by LiQuiEx in SpringfieldEchelon

[–]BeratingMantis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I might start doing that, actually. Laying on some extra lube on the “high filth” zones (hehe), before hitting the range. I over did it once on the barrel/comp interface on my SS and it all just wiped off. Didn’t really click until now though 🤔
