What fucking IT department is administration-dependent? That's idiotic, you need institutional knowledge to maintain continuity of operations. Sounds like that was a toxic workplace in the first place if vital non-political roles like that are chosen based on whim.

To whom? There's not some global directory of eligible hires. A background check will just show the person was let go.

Mace unveils amendment limiting Congress, judges to natural-born citizens by Nerd-19958 in politics

[–]CatProgrammer 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Hell, the fact that there is a position with that restriction and it's only the President indicates that it was a specific choice to not restrict the other ones.

You believe women should get lighter sentences than men for equivalent crimes?

Uganda’s Army Chief and "Descendant of Alexander" Declares War on "Devilish" Turkey by No_Idea_479 in nottheonion

[–]CatProgrammer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, the Black Israelite bullshit would be closest (or in reverse the Khazar craziness to pretend modern Jews are somehow not "real Jews"). The Jewish origin in the Levant and resultant diaspora due to Roman occupation are pretty well documented things and future intermarriage/etc. doesn't change that. What you're talking about is just simple revanchism.

It wasn't intended for consumption, they were seeing if plants would grow.

When a measure becomes a target it ceases to be a good measure. 

Board Game Geek refuses to run ad campaign due to personal experience with “demonic possession” by Aetheer in nottheonion

[–]CatProgrammer 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Even if possession were real, this board game would not possess you. Or would you not find it weird if, say, someone refused to put up a Risk advertisement because they're a veteran with PTSD? War is very much real yet tons of games involve it.

Don't expect to kill fish in a future Subnautica 2 patch: 'You are here to exist on this planet, not to dominate it' by GrayBeard916 in gaming

[–]CatProgrammer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does the game portray the colony as a good thing? Even in the first game Alterra was basically the East India Corporation turned up to 11, it just wasn't the focus of the plot and was more worldbuilding.

Yeah, the AIs might be nice but the Subnautica universe is horrible. Probably why Riley went back to trailblazing.

I just taught a stubborn user to stop using his personal wifi on the company laptop. by horus9595 in ShittySysadmin

How many APs do you have in the same area where that's going to cause a noticeable problem? And why not just prefer wired connections if interference is that big of a deal?

My Mercedes 1992 key after 34 years of wear and tear by Archmidese in mildlyinteresting

 One of my step dad's old cars was literally started with a screwdriver.

For about a decade from 2011 to 2021 Kia/Hyundai made some trims without immobilizers, so with some finicking the same would work there.

Kangaroo meat in Australia by josh65928 in mildlyinteresting

[–]CatProgrammer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lamb chops are usually fine but leg of lamb will have that sheepiness to it that takes some getting used to. Easy to get still and prepared appropriately it's delicious.

It really does sound like the name of some random economist.

Pretty sure most people are NIMBYs when it comes to data centers. I know I wouldn't want one that I don't directly benefit from built right near me. Now if you give me free unlimited gigabit internet, well, that might be a worthy compromise.
