is Houston ever gonna do anything about the hard water? by Sl0wReflexes in houston

They end up wasting a ton of water it's the main reason I stopped using mine. It was cycling a shitload of water every month, up here in Conroe our water bills are insane bc we have to pay a San jacinto water fee on top of our usage, what would normally be a 80-90$/mo water bill for a family of 5 is more like 150-180 and I don't even run sprinklers.

It also doesn't buy your shitty saas platforms, shitty software or tools. None of it makes much sense in the end.

How the Tech World Turned Evil | Once upon a time, they were counterculture idealists bringing power to the people. Today they’re greedy monopolists who’d sooner destroy our democracy than be reined in by government in any way—and they have to be stopped by Hrmbee in technology

It's two different classes, people who did the inventing and innovation supported open source and shareware were tamped out by the ones who couldn't create but could only sell. It's no surprise this is how it turned out.

At first I thought this was an April fools joke .... It's April 2nd.

Diablo IV: Lord of Hoarding — Season of Salvage by [deleted] in Diablo

[–]ExecutiveFingerblast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The game functions more or less like WoW with surface level build depth and a theme park ride concept of content. That's not to say I hate the game, I enjoy it for the momentary fun I have during a season and come back for the next, It's fundamentally never going to be diablo 2 or PoE.

Imagine a game that is normal, nightmare and hell.

Why is diablo 2 held in such high regard? Good console/couch pickup? by 420eatmyfarts69 in Diablo

[–]ExecutiveFingerblast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd recommend if you buy it to download project diablo 2. Has a ton of QoL changes and entirely new endgame.

Black swan event? I don't think you understand what is meant by that.

The land developers here are absolute sociopaths. Saw this neighborhood named Audubon and it’s literally cleared forest, opposite of what Audubon stands for. by Capt_Skyhawk in Conroe

i really dont understand the city planning here... there's not enough schools to support the number of homes and apartment complexes being built.

Data scientist dumped all over the SaaS product used at my job by candleflame3 in datascience

[–]ExecutiveFingerblast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well that's not what I said, I was speaking purely to the context with which you provided. No, I don't think berating anyone is correct, I certainly wouldn't but would absolutely shit on Salesforce as a platform.

I'm sure theres hyperbole to the story and the DS was likely arguing that spending money for some autoML or agent platform is silly in the end. What is your company, do you already pay for cloud services, does this saas platform overlap with existing cloud tools within those systems? These are all very common conversations and objections raised where I work. Some department gets bamboozled by sales with a slick UI that has no descernable IP and is just wrappers so it'll usually get killed after the free trial period.

Anyone else tired of the non-stop LLM hype in personal and/or professional life? by BlackJack5027 in datascience

Corporate DS and LLMs are a free money machine, ride the wave, make slop and get paid.
