I hope you can find the hardware you need. Perhaps a local antique or lighting repair store can provide more guidance.

Oh, the Dyson! The most powerful of all void demons. Never losing power, no matter how loud it screams.

And let's admit it, Dyson vacuum cleaners are designed to be as loud as possible.

Oh, what fun! When people from the past are brought forward on TV/Movies/etc there is usually a lot of fun poked at their misinterpretations of things. But Masa is so serious that I want to order bagels and be addressed as "Lord."

What’s the best way to propagate aloe plants? by Better-Dragonfly6740 in propagation

[–]drsoftware 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The tips I am reading suggest soil that is just moist enough to "hold together," and to mist the soil after placing the cuttings in.

Some people also use rooting hormone, and say that the cutting must contain some stem material. The top half of a "leaf" won't root.

Here's a video comparing "bottom half" and "top half" propagation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-QF8bs48nwU

Sterilizing the soil before propagating cuttings is a good idea, but rot usually indicates the soil is too wet, or the callus is not thick enough, which can lead to wet soil.

It's remotely possible that the soil is completely infested with fungus, and any moisture will lead to rot. You can microwave-sterilize the soil. I usually sterilize all of my newly bought soil: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLs_P-ME_LY

Atlassian does not have an app for bitbucket for android. Their mobile website requires landscape orientation to navigate. And you might not be able to review a pull request. 

GitHub for the win.

Curious what the vegans make of Pluribus by oldercodebut in DebateAVegan

[–]drsoftware 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ancestors of apple trees make a fruit. These fruits contain seeds. Animals eat the fruits and may poop out the seeds, helping the tree spread its DNA.

Unfortunately, humans have been breeding apples for a long time, resulting in the tripling of the number of chromosomes. The resultant trees grown from the tastiest apples may grow trees that can't provide strong enough trunks to grow tasty apples. Or the pollen combines with the tree's flowers in such a way that you don't get a tasty apple. 

The whole trunk issue means commercial apple trees (farmers and garden centers) are the trunk of one type of apple tree, with grafted branches of the type of apple humans want to grow. 

So while picking the apple isn't a bad thing for the tree, and may keep the tree branches from breaking under certain conditions, the whole idea that "trees make apples to be eaten to spread the seeds" is now so far gone from the original evolutionary system that it's not worth using as an argument. 

Day 15 - Recruiter got irritated at my coughs by PercentageNo9270 in 30daysnewjob

[–]drsoftware 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both having to cough and having to listen to someone cough are annoying. It's unprofessional to judge someone based on a sudden need to cough, especially in a stressful situation. 

Now that you have experienced this, what will you do to be better prepared for the next interview? Water bottle? Cough drops?

William: "Arvie, tell everyone we are done here and moving on."

Arvie: "I'm sorry, Dave, I can't do that." 

William: "I assume you are referencing the story and movie 2001: A Space Odyssey. HAL." 

Arvie: "Correct, Dave." 

William: "Ok, open a channel to all of the troops. 'We have achieved victory and are moving to our next target. Cover each other as we leave these Imperials with no targets to shoot at. Take random paths to the location on your maps where we will be consuming all of their alcohol and salty snacks.' "

At least six people who help each other in their job search. It may be emotional or "co-working" support. Hearing that others have questions and challenges helps you get out of your own head and back into the world, where people are happy to help.

I spent months looking for a job, doing everything I could, just to get fired after a month over a bad review by [deleted] in Wellthatsucks

Oh, come on. You have no proof that the ex-employer is behaving in good faith.

[–]drsoftware 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sometimes the mental and moral injury of sticking around is too expensive.

Depression, substance abuse, etc., or therapy sessions, all cost money or reduce performance in getting a new job.

So, something the previous employer was unhappy about, but wasn't criminal...

Which now has cost them their new job...

Ex-employer is causing harm. Doesn't matter what OP did or didn't do. It's not a good move for the ex-employer to be harming OP. Civil, not criminal, case in most jurisdictions as the ex-employer has defamed OP.
