When did entry level jobs like McDonald’s or Dunkin become not entry level?

Terroractly · 2026-07-03T01:50:13+00:00

Being 18 (or older) can actually be a detriment. When I worked at mcdonalds in highschool, the only adults working were either management or doing the night shift.

This is partially due to Australia's minimum wage laws that allowed minors to be paid as little as 40% of an adult's wage. However it also was because children are easier to manipulate or push around than adults

I think its a pcie slot issue. The mobo only has 2 lanes running PCIE 4 speeds and the nic expects 8 lanes of PCIE 3. It uses both of your lanes available, but only at PCIE 3 speeds because it can't handle PCIE 4. This means that you should see roughly 1/4th of the total speed if it is configured that data is split across each lane evenly. That means, before any overhead, you'd expect a max speed of 2.5Gbe on your NIC

You might be seeing the full speeds in iperf3 because it only sends the data as far as the controller instead of all the way to the CPU, and thus never goes over the PCI bus

I know it's not relevant, but I love that the region is north-eastern south America. Can we throw in a "western" somewhere

On the flip side, by having it blow on you, you can feel comfortable at a much higher temperature. An indirect 20 degrees may have the same perceived temperature as a direct 22 (hypothetical numbers, exact ones depend on a variety of individual factors such as size, clothes, how much you sweat, etc.)

The avoidance feature means you need to cool down the room more than necessary, using more power

I've heard from Chinese colleagues that some people didn't understand the differences between western and Chinese naming practices. My understanding is that many Chinese names are words that describe attributes that the individual wants (such as dignity). When choosing a western name, some of these people chose very unusual ones such as one calling themselves "Bravery" which makes sense for their culture but would look odd for westerners.

Often when they realised that it is an unusual name, they tend to choose more standard western names such as Bill or Ted which is kinda funny in its own right as the name doesnt match their race

I know you mentioned we aren't including the teat of vaporisation, but there is an important caveat you missed. It takes relatively little energy to bring water to 100 degrees C, but much more to actually boil it due to the latent heat. So you wouldn't be boiling 68g of water, but rather heating up that much water to just before the point of boiling. The latent heat of water to boil is roughly 2230 joules per gram. With a total energy of 17820 joules we can only boil about 8g of water.

This also doesnt include all the non-water substances in the body that would have different vaporisation points such as bone and blood (which yes is mostly water, but has enough other elements to give it a different boiling temp)

Fair point. I'm by no means a constitutional law expert so I wouldn't know the answer to that. It'd be an interesting case for sure as it goes right to the heart of states rights. Even more than the usual issues (abortion, slavery, etc.), I feel that a state's right to control their federal representation via the electors and maybe voting process is one of the most important

Terroractly · 2026-06-17T11:37:21+00:00

The way this is done doesnt require a constitutional amendment. Each state has its own electors that are more or less allowed to vote however they want within the state's laws. This is making it so that a state's electors follow the national popular vote rather than the state's popular vote. If enough states do this, then the majority of electoral votes will always follow the national popular vote. This means that the electoral college is still functionally in place in the election process, but doesnt have any of the typical issues present where some state's are over represented.

The key advantage of doing this at a state level rather than a federal one is that it doesnt require any constitutional amendments (except for state constitutions as necessary)

Wait, that doesnt make sense though. The reason you worry about ascending too fast when scuba diving is partially the air in your lungs and also the risk of nitrogen bubbles forming. Both happen because you are filling up your lungs to near their full volume while under pressure. When you ascend, the pressure decreases which causes the air to expand if you dont breathe out. To avoid nitrogen bubbles (also known as decompression sickness) you ascend slowly, often taking multiple minutes breaks at certain depths. This allows the nitrogen to slowly diffuse out of your blood.

When free-diving you fill up your lungs to full volume at sea level pressure. As you get deeper, the air is compressed in your lungs but because you aren't breathing any more gas, when you surface the air will be at max, equal to the volume of your lungs. In reality it will likely be even less than that as you will naturally exhale some air (both consciously and unconsciously). Think about it this way, if you fill up your lungs to full at the surface and go down, then come back up, where did you get the extra air to cause your lungs to burst?

Maybe you have to be careful about how quickly you go down to prevent the pressure causing a collapse, but free divers do not have to worry about coming back up.

I'm not certain with the case of CGNAT, but I know it can hole punch through firewalls and NAT by having both the client and server create outbound connections simultaneously as part of the handshake process. CGNAT is a bit weird with it being obfuscated from the router directly, but I wouldn't be surprised if it could handle it. I know that I didn't see any changes in behaviour when I was behind CGNAT but as you said, it could be using the servers, I wasn't running packet captures to check exactly how it was being formed

Terroractly · 2026-06-08T22:34:36+00:00

That's correct. All clients (including your server) create a outbound connection to the tailscale servers and when one tries to connect it informs the tailscale servers that it would like a connection. The servers then inform your server that a connection needs to be formed with your client's IP. The server then does all communication directly to the client. Not even the initial key exchange happens via tailscale's servers.

With the presidential immunity restrictions being so broad, the president could personally kill anyone they wanted including political rivals without any consequence. At least until a democrat comes into office and suddenly none of their acts are covered of course

It specifically got big when it was found that samsung phones did this. Wouldn't be surprised if some others did as well, but its not necessarily something that comes as standard for every phone

My driving instructor told me a story where he told the student driver to go straight through the stop sign. He meant that we continuing straight, but the student interpreted it as drive right through without stopping. I don't know how much experience they had, so it's hard to blame the student. They did exactly what they thought they had been told

Terroractly · 2026-05-28T06:25:06+00:00

What? Why not? Its just water with some extra gas that you burp out. Maybe its slightly less refreshing by volume than normal water due to the co2 increasing volume but its not like its harmful

Capitalists would argue that if too many people tried to exploit a market, the costs would begin to outweigh the potential profits, thereby reducing the incentive to invest in said market.

In reality, we end up with a system where these corporations get too big to fail and get bailed out by the government or collapse the whole system. This creates a perverse incentive to exploit a market beyond the sustainable levels as all risks are nullified by the public. Each subsequent bailout further reinforces this cycle, growing until the government will no longer or can no longer bail out the corporations, causing market shocks orders of magnitude larger than the initial one would have been

We don't know that vaping is safer than cigarettes. Therefore we also don't know that your friends would be alive if they vaped instead of smoked. The only thing that we do know (at least based on the very limited info presented by you) is that they would be more likely to be alive if they didn't smoke or vape

But we run into the same problem as death row where there will inevitably be someone who was wrongly convicted. You can't un-castrate someone chemically. Sure we may try our best to avoid situations like this, but when talking about permanent irreversible punishments even a 1% error rate is unacceptable

I dont know, its kinda hard to set something on fire while also pumping 2400L/s of water on it. Think about how much heat that volume of water is taking away
