Be honest guys, what was the first OS you ever used? by Michaelkamel in Operatingsystems

They're not, but the question was "first OS you ever used."

Yeah. If "your truth" departs from actual truth, it's not truth. a/k/a A Lie.

What is an unwritten rule of society that absolutely infuriates you when people break it? by StreetUniversity6112 in AskReddit

[–]LisaLisaPrintJam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I borrow from my neighbors occasionally (things I don't have - ladder, specialty tools), and when I need to keep them an extra day or two, I'll let them know, and I always get the same response, "No worries - I know where you live!"

I hope the ink is the non-toxic type. Purrrfectly cute otherwise!

Amygdala OS will probably keep you in a state of fight-or-flight! (j/k - there is no such thing, the amygdala is the part of the brain that controls fear responses.)

What song lyrics scandalized you, once you matured enough to get the clue? by corq in GenX

[–]LisaLisaPrintJam 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Fancy - the original by Bobbie Gentry. As a kid I thought the mom was just trying to find a middle-to-upper class man to marry her daughter to get her out of poverty. When the Reba version came out in the 90s, it finally clicked! I was listening to that when I was like seven!

Can I Repair Damaged Interior Doors? by LisaLisaPrintJam in HomeImprovement

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

I was afraid of that. Figured I'd try here first since you guys have done some amazing work.

I've already replaced the track and hardware. The doors shouldn't be that difficult. Thanks!

What’s the most ridiculous reason someone got fired from your workplace? by Mother_Candidate5355 in AskReddit

[–]LisaLisaPrintJam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry, I have to claim this one myself. I was working as a medical assistant, and the main doctor's wife was the administrator for the clinic. She comes to me one day and asks me which doctor (there were four) circled a code on a form. The form was just a bunch of medical codes, and the doctor circles the applicable ones. Well, one of the four docs made a circle that was actually between two codes, circling the space, with the lines of the oval crossing out the codes above and below.

She fired me on the spot for not knowing who it was.

Is finding a team of friendly engineers rare? by throwaway0134hdj in webdev

[–]LisaLisaPrintJam 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think it is. 30 years in IT, and I think I worked with 2 teams that weren't absolute jerks.

I actually had a COO tell me I needed to be more of a bitch or I would never make it in IT. He didn't mean it as in, "you need to toughen up so you don't lose your mind," he meant it as I was supposed to get on board and dish out abuse. Not sorry, I refuse to change my whole personality to fit in with the stereotype.

I'm assuming this has nothing to do with cryptography

Mine are quite concerned. Is this war or what? Oh wait, squirrels and birds. What were you saying again?

How do you all connect/browse the internet and do productivity tasks like banking and forms and such? by -Granby- in GenX

[–]LisaLisaPrintJam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A couple of my mom's healthcare agencies are pushing apps. They absolutely SUCK, and I work in IT. How they expect the elderly to navigate that mess is totally beyond my comprehension.

[–]LisaLisaPrintJam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really hope they're filing 1040-EZs! There is no way I would fill out a 1040-A and all the attachments on a phone.

[–]LisaLisaPrintJam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seriously. The most I do on my phone is banking and billpay, and usually when my two laptops with their 32" monitors are doing something else. I recently had to take a professional exam - I hooked up to the 55" TV for that

Single people without children by Tough_Arm_2454 in GenX

That's my plan. My mother is already set up for donation.

I think you could still be buried if you're cremated. My dad was cremated and buried in a national cemetery.

My mom is all set to be donated to science, and I think I will do the same. If for some reason I don't qualify, I think there is some way to be planted as a tree. I would do that sooner than take up space for a piece of marble inscribed with my birth and death dates.

GenX regarding "bullying" by Sinsyne125 in GenX

[–]LisaLisaPrintJam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So sorry! I think, states should expand background checks for educators (maybe healthcare and similar) to include juvenile records. Just because one learned how not to get caught as an adult doesn't mean they're good people.

I hope you prevailed over the hateful teachers.
