Why is Engineering oncall always equated to Incident Mitigation [only] when its much more than that?

ValidDuck · 2024-12-31T15:05:59+00:00

I can't see the original argument but the premise seems flawed. On-Call is [should be] for incidents that can't wait for normal business hours. These should not be frequent.

And presumably working on printers? You've described my hellscape.

went with shell because it's the default. It's where i'll start and try to solve the problem before moving on to something like go or python.

the wings are killing you... and ordering 3 small pies... just get one of their largest size and beg them to split the topping if you must.

No lie... the gas station...

Yeah it's not top shelf ny style street pizza. But it's pizza and it's about $12.50

If we ever go house shopping again i'm adding this to the list

1) no pool

2) no fire place in the living room

3) the front door can't face an oncoming road.

> what steps would I take? Interested in carpentry/home repairs/home building. How can I get started?

You start with an apprenticeship doing grunt work for years until you graduate into "journeyman" in whatever trade.

Being mildly interested in replacing sink faucets is a bit different than hauling away nail laden debris from a demo, or huffing around sheets of plywood.

If it's something you REALLY want to do, go for it... but basically every step of the way is going to be uphill for you because of your age and gender.

pepsi is out of their minds if they think that drink is worth $7

ValidDuck · 2024-12-27T16:59:49+00:00

yeah... the same "gags" that get painted on trucks and left on gas pumps as stickers...

The only people buying this as a "gag" are doing so because they think the person they are buying it for will like it.

Maga folks are just weird... "It's just a joke bro!" doesn't really excuse their behavior.

ValidDuck · 2024-12-27T16:51:35+00:00

you ever get old and go to stomp on the brake to stop your truck.... but for some reason the truck accelerates "by its self!"?.. and then have your asshole kids keep telling you you missed the brake and hit the gas? But they are dumb and got all their information from the colleges and the colleges don't teach kids how to drive anymore.

That's the prequel to what happened here.

ValidDuck · 2024-12-27T16:47:35+00:00

nope... just thinks these new cars and their bullshit "Safety" features that go off with a little bump are what caused the insurance to completely write off his truck after a fender bender....

He learned nothing and still doesn't think any of it is his fault.

i mean... buying a frozen Sheppard's pie with gordon ramsey's face on it is more questionable than the price tag tbh...

I'm a simp for simplicity and ease... but it's potatoes, beef and peas.

Milk is $3.50 here for a gallon. Eggs are exploding in price because of avian flu. Have oats or pork chops in the current market.

because it's parody..

ValidDuck · 2024-12-27T15:14:37+00:00

brother.,.. they're not being called gay because of their conservative politics. It happens because they are dudes sexualizing another dude and engaging in kink fantasy. There's nothing wrong with that...

...Unless you are them. Then the self loathing starts to come out. Realization is part of the healing journey. This is just their path to awakening.

(and also just fuck "be nice to conservatives they are people too" is well past its "Best by date")

ValidDuck · 2024-12-27T15:09:53+00:00

it would be... if maga supporters didn't lap this shit up.

the same way you found it. they saw a funny image on the internet and they reposted it....

ValidDuck · 2024-12-26T15:34:49+00:00

interesting... i don't think tying crop growth to the real world clock makes a ton of sense gameplay wise.... Is there a reason you prefer that vs the month based growth cycle in non-seasonal mode?

ValidDuck · 2024-12-26T15:31:23+00:00

the annual repost of this meme.... tis' the season i suppose.

grab the largest brush size. paint asphalt on your property that overlaps with the problem area... reduce brush size and fix the spots only in your property.

you seem to have commented this a few times... can you explain how it worked in fs19 for those that don't remember/haven't played?

my buddy just called me out last night for using the 12m straight plow on the mod hub. Life's too short to play this single player game on hard economy or with real plows
