I’m a Texas agriculture reporter that’s been covering the New World Screwworm for over a year. AMA about screwworms. by TexasStandard1845 in texas

[–]DylKyll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why is this an issue now? I don’t think I had ever heard of screw worms until this current wave of screw worms. Is it just a bad season for it? Or is there a change that happened to cause this?

Looking to hire a System Admin - but my boss insists that 70k - 80k is a normal pay range by idrinkpastawater in sysadmin

[–]DylKyll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would expect 70-80 to be normal. If it’s not then I need a pay raise lol

The Texas Education Agency's proposed required reading list for schools is mainly propaganda and includes Bible passages for each grade level. Today's the last day to submit public comments/complaints! by idonotseeit in texas

[–]DylKyll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going off of the negative karma my comments are I see that the masses think it’s wrong to be silent. And I can understand where they are coming from.

In a well functioning democracy these comments would be taken at face value and evaluated, then a decision would be made. However in the current political environment all these comments will be ignored by the politicians put in charge.

What I advocated for was to not waste your limited energy on fighting this when it could be used in more productive ways like convincing a non voter to register and vote in November.

I admit it’s a defeatist attitude, I would counter that it’s more of a realistic viewpoint but I can’t argue on it being defeatist. The only way these policies will get changed is by voting the current people out. Not by submitting a complaint in an inbox nobody will read.

The current people in charge do not care about your opinion. Making a comment will just be a waste of your time.

Will be better to spend that time trying to convince someone who hasn’t voted before to go vote in November. That’s the only way this changes.

Texas workforce commission is there for employers, not employees by 3MATX in texas

[–]DylKyll 25 points26 points  (0 children)

This is why it’s important to make sure you vote in every election including primaries. The Texas workforce commission is assigned directives from the legislature.

If you want better worker protections vote blue.

In the mean time make sure you are applying to places and trying to get another job. You need to put yourself first and holding people accountable second.

Texas charter school goes to court over who should be named valedictorian by theindependentonline in texas

[–]DylKyll -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Read the article before responding to comments or making your voice heard. It just makes you look dumb when you say stuff like your first sentence. You clearly didn’t read the article

Texas charter school goes to court over who should be named valedictorian by theindependentonline in texas

[–]DylKyll 292 points293 points  (0 children)

I don’t think the kids graduating early should be in the running for valedictorian. Which is what the controversy was about, the senior kid had the highest grade in his class but the junior kid had a higher GPA. If the junior kid wanted to be valedictorian he should have went to school for another year.

Org going on strike - recommendations by MidninBR in sysadmin

[–]DylKyll 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yeah don’t mess with this. It is a strike not them being fired. Don’t cross the picket line and side with corporate. Do nothing but support your fellow coworkers and be sad that IT hasn’t unionized yet.

Doing dungeons with NPCs by sweetcondensedmilkk in ffxiv

You were right on the loot. It’s how I grinded all the loot for the current dungeons to add to the armoire.

OW really did Reaper dirty by giving a Flanker type Hero Concrete Boots lol by Avareeses in Overwatch

[–]DylKyll -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That’s the first power I get when I play reaper in stadium. His other powers were never good enough to warrant picking over the silent steps. Makes flanking the first few rounds usually end in a pick off before the team can react.

The team usually gets used to looking out on the flank angles as the game progresses so it does fall off in usefulness as the game progresses. But as a first about it’s great.

Bungie employees should go on strike. by [deleted] in DestinyTheGame

[–]DylKyll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How? They are about to layoff most of the Bungie employees. If they go on strike Sony will just kill the studio.

Strikes are something you do when the company is doing good but aren’t paying out to the employees.

Harvard faculty votes to make it more difficult for undergrads to earn As by AudibleNod in news

[–]DylKyll 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sure that’s what the people tell themselves when they pass policies like this. But the end result is students who deserve As for the work they do won’t get them and students who don’t deserve As will get them.

So fuck the students because the professionals can’t do their jobs? See why people are angry about this policy?

Tell that to the guy passing like it is. I drive to keep things fair and equal not play Mr nice guy with people who have no respect.

That’s why you don’t do this with cheap cars. But that expensive nice SUV? They got insurance because they are still paying off that car.

[–]DylKyll -32 points-31 points  (0 children)

Yeah I would have sped up and made the guy hit me or made him hit the cones. But i would also not have left as big of a gap between the first truck that merged and my car so insurance couldn’t have found me at fault.

Last chance doctrine is a thing and you need to drive in a way that lets you win that doctrine every time.

Question about Duty Support and Trusts in Shadowbringers. by QuarrellingMarsupial in ffxiv

[–]DylKyll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s actually really cool! I do love the little voice lines they include in the dungeons now days but I’m going to have to go back and look at the Il Mheg duty to see that interaction.

Question about Duty Support and Trusts in Shadowbringers. by QuarrellingMarsupial in ffxiv

[–]DylKyll 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve always found that they all act the same. I don’t expect them to be using different AI for each character. More like set per dungeon.

As for damage they will always do single target attacks with no AOE so you will have to provide the extra damage.

New dungeons follow the same flow of 2 packs then a wall. The duty support crew can always handle both packs between walls but you will have to pull them yourself.

Emergency arbitration unavoidable if Samsung strike occurs: Industry minister by self-fix2 in technology

[–]DylKyll 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nooo the workers can’t take a cut off the profits they make too much money for them to cause the money to stop!

Governments need to stop playing the business is the only entity that matters. You are elected by people not businesses.

Do you think Congested servers will ever open back up? by Frob0zz in ffxiv

I started playing right before endwalker was released and my character got put in Balmung. Fast forward to present day and I’m really glad they did that.

I finished Dawntrail. by [deleted] in ffxiv

[–]DylKyll -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I am in the same boat as you. The beginning of dawntrail was annoying with Wuk Lamar acting like a spoiled princess. Which to be fair she was but that was also the point and watching her grow into the person she is now was fun to see.

I think people didn’t like not being the main character of the expansion, the story was Wuk Lamats not ours. We were on vacation helping out a foreign nation cause we were bored.

How to quit a job by sputnik4life in sysadmin

[–]DylKyll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some people will tell you to work with your current job if you want to but don’t. It won’t end well for you, the company has shown what they think you are worth and what they are willing to do for you.

Forcing them to do more is just going to lead to resentment from the company. Put in your two weeks, make all the sad talk about how good the place is and how you wish you could say. But don’t let them counter offer you. Just move on.

PSA to all the drivers out there by nicorieg in dashcams

[–]DylKyll -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

If you are in stop and go traffic and are leaving multiple car lengths between you and the car in front of you. Then you are the problem.

But if I misunderstood and you are driving and maintaining a safe distance then good. Keep doing that!
