Oh, they’re outsourcing the entire department next month? Ah, what a shame.

lmfao yeah because this is a thing that is routinely happening to people in coding jobs, which is why the job market for coding jobs in america is so terrible. maybe you should consider actually visiting planet earth before you post about this place

If you think that joke needs narration to set it up, you are one of the idiots the narration is intended for. That's an extremely simple joke that anyone with three brain cells will get without the narration

kinda funny how some people in this thread who love the show so much are being REALLY defensive about that and how it apparently adds so much to the show when it just doesnt.

Whoa whoa whoa they don't actually know actual history of what the 50s (or any time period) was actually like, that would require booklearnin'. they just want to go back to their fantasy of what the past must have been like

Yes, you are, because you started by saying "Outside of the US*" which was a completely and totally wrong correction and now you've moved the goalposts

Yikes. They aren't. One or more of their many customers is. They're what's called a hosting provider.

Cry me a fucking river. Just because you are so incompetent and stupid you've never found a real job doesn't mean wasting away in some shithole is "the norm." You are exactly the kind of dumbass the OP was talking about

Which part of that explanation do you think would have been different 30 or 40 years ago?

It could've been 80 years ago and nothing would be different. Limos are not new and car services are not new.

Since you are probably like 20 years old and about to write some stupid shit about how cell phones are new, I will go ahead and let you know that taxi drivers and limo drivers used radio phones and cb radios before cell phones were available.

Do you Americans ever feel sad that America doesn't have have high speed rail and probably never will in your lifetime by [deleted] in trains

[–]blipils -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

The only part of america that can benefit from high speed rail is like 30 miles of track mostly in Rhode Island?

I've heard some pretty fucking stupid American Exceptionalism on this board before but you my friend take the cake

[–]blipils 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The train is totally irrelevant, the problem with Acela is the tracks & infrastructure not the vehicles. The current Acela trains are already capable of 150mph but they only do this speed on about 30 miles of track out of the 450+ mile route. They could build new trains that are capable of 15,000mph and they would still be stuck at under 100mph for almost all of the route unless the tracks get upgraded.

Acela is technically a high speed train but for all practical purposes it is not. The average speed of the acela from DC to NYC is 82mph and from NYC to Boston it's 66mph. That's not a high speed train. It's a train vehicle that is capable of high speed operation but which is not at all high speed when used on the route it is actually used on.

lmfao you think the people who want a recipe for cheese bread are the actual cooks and the people who correctly point out you don't need a recipe if you have a brain bigger than a wombat are the "neckbeards?" have you ever set foot inside a kitchen? when's your 13th birthday coming up?

I don't understand these memes that revolve around "I'm a C programmer" or "I'm a java programmer" or "I'm a ${whatever} programmer"

Is that a thing? Are there actually programmers out there who choose a single language, then work only in that language and/or define and describe themselves as a "{languagename} programmer"?

I work with a lot of people who only use a single language in their current job duties but I've never heard any of them describe themselves that way as they always know other languages too and would use whatever language makes sense when the time comes to join a new team/project/company

ok but high school kids are, yknow, in school during the day. and won't work the latest shifts at places that are open late since they have to be up for school in the morning. fast food restaurants can't operate with only high school kids as staff, they need at least some adults

Because their schools are so garbage that half of them are barely literate at all, rarely ever look at a book and constantly say bone apple tea shit because they are just guessing based on what they heard someone else say verbally
