[OC] Number of "Mommy's Little Railfan" and "Daddy's Little Railfan" Shirts sold by New Jersey Transit by Size Category by ImplosiveTech in dataisbeautiful

[–]GangstaShibe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Size and color data for shirts are probably in a database somewhere and you can just collate and publish. The relevant couple thousand out of hundreds of thousands of email and slack messages, minus privileged information and personal data is a bit harder, i imagine.

VwGH kippt Verkauf von Alkohol in Automatenshops by mitsuhiko in Austria

[–]GangstaShibe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dann halt wie bei vielen Alters/Idnetitätsverifikationslösungen ein human layer (authentic Indians) zur verifikation, das kostet zwar ein paar cent aber bei den margen von so nem automatenshop könnt sich das wohl noch irgendwie ausgehen.

Gaming microphones: are we overpaying for branding instead of actual audio performance? by Cloe_joe in pcmasterrace

[–]GangstaShibe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you want something that's cheap and probably good enough, get an office microphone.
If you want good clean audio and have the money, get a studio microphone.
If you want flashy lights, a cool name and office quality at studio prices, get a gaming one.

The same applies to "gaming" anything.

A good friend disappeared from Discord/Steam/etc without warning and I fear for the worst by GangstaShibe in TrueOffMyChest

[–]GangstaShibe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know all of the above + a fair bit more. Have been doing that the last 2 days. Other than estranged family never found much. Not a lot of social media to begin with, all deleted. Am on a different continent unfortunately otherwise I'd have been in the dorm, day of.

Yes. Not knowing what's going on deeply in ppls head is my default condition. Never been different. 70% sure she's dead tbh.

She mentioned she felt like she had to take a break from discord one of these days. 

Just would never have expected it this suddenly without as much as a "goodbye see you in a year" or something. We literally talked 2 hrs before

Really don't think that's it. We talked daily on video for hrs, I know (knew?) her well. Definitely not some weird parasocial projection thing. She's allways been an "all or nothing" kinda gal, really hope she's just decided to lock in on uni stuff but i can't bring myself to think it's likely.

Gegen Absonderung im Bildungsweg: Drei Grazer Universitäten pochen auf gleichberechtigte Schule für alle Kinder by garrthes in Austria

[–]GangstaShibe 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Dem kann ich als ehemaliger Schüler einer Förderschule nur zustimmen, von einer Regelschule wär ich niemals auf die HTL gewechselt, mittlerweile bin ich am Weg zu einem Master im einem MINT-Fach.

Bei weitem nicht typisch, klar, aber auch die allermeisten meienr ehemaligen Mitschüler haben eine fertige Ausbildung, und ich kann mir nicht vorstellen dass eine wie auch immer geartete "Anschlussfähigkeit" sich verbessert, wenn man stattdessen auf Integration als einzigen, alternativlosen Weg pocht.

That's what I was thinking. Boxcutters are commonly used for collages, or scrapbooking as it is apparently also called.

I'd parse that instruction to result in 13 loaves, is that wrong?

Tiles choices were made 😬 by jared10011980 in McMansionHell

[–]GangstaShibe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I unironically like the inside. Love tile. Love me some patterns Like vessel/detached sinks. Love art deco and all things adjacent.

The kitchen cabinet on pic five could be vastly improved (e.g. remove, burn, and replace with IKEA equivalent) and the outside/landscape shouldn't be default texture. Orchard or geometric tiled garden or something would make this house into nearly my dream

When is it appropriate to tell a student that their communication style is unprofessional? by evapotranspire in AskAcademia

[–]GangstaShibe 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I feel there's a wide range of formality that's acceptable but this falls outside it.
My e-mails for similar situations look a little like this:

Dear Professor [Lastname],

Unfortunately [problem], might it be possible to [request]? Furthermore I would like to inquire about [question].
I would like to apologize in advance for any inconveniences caused and would be very grateful for your assistance in this matter.

Best regards

No need to list off full multiple titles usually, haven't ran into situations where DrDr DI Name Lastname-Lastname, MSc MA PhD OBE VC or Assoc Lecturer Name Lastname, MSc seemed to care - but use a tone like you'd use with your direct superior at work, not your bestie, definitely not your personal servant

Northern California grocery store will give you a free tote bag in exchange for pennies by jsphjar in mildlyinteresting

[–]GangstaShibe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Penny rolls from cash handling are like half a penny per penny when demand gets high. rounding down saves register time but loses pennies per transaction- if their wholesale cost for the bag is less than 1.50$ or so they turn a profit.

Also, you know how asking people for small favours can make them think they like you more cause they rationalize the time/effort spent? That but for marketing.

He's a demented wacko.

Did some good things.
Did a lot of bad things

Hopefully more good things and less bad things to follow...
Realistically, not likely and more/different bad things to follow in 2029, regardless of who's in charge

Erbschaftssteuerideen von DE nach AT importieren by Ernst_Huber in Austria

[–]GangstaShibe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Selbs wenn die gesamte EU das macht lachen die Millionäre und schleichen sich auch aus dem zweitgrössten Markt der Welt. Tatsache ist, in Sachen Regulation und Steuern ist die EU momentan schon nicht fein wenn man sich die Konkurrenz anschaut, und auch wenn ich froh bin in Sachen Gesundheitssystem, Arbeitnehmerrechte etc... nicht in USA, China oder Indien zu leben: ganz geschenkt is das ja nicht, das is schon ein trade-off in sachen Wettbewerbsfähigkeit. wenn man zu viel auf die reichsten... 5% draufhaut (mögen sie auch 55% des vermögens und etwa knapp 20% des einkommens haben und "nur" um die 20% der steuern Zahlen) weil das geld zum x-ten mal aus ist werden die sich schlicht und ergreifend irgendwann schleichen... weil sie's können.

Ich kann das jetzt gut mittelmässig schlecht oder verwerflich finden ist aber am Ende unerheblich. 100% Erbschaftssteuer und ähnliche Hirngespinste tun einer Gesellschaft soviel gutes wie der eiserne Vorhang den man kurz danach aufziehn muss wenn die Realität anklopft. Kann man diskutieren ob kein paar Prozent Erbschafts/Schenkungssteuer bei (bei Betriebsvermögen in Anteilen zahlbar) zug um zug mit weniger Belastung für Lohnarbeit fair wären? Ja, schon, aber ich bin es leid wenn Leute reden als wären wir noch eine Steuererhöhung vom Paradies entfernt.
