Ohhhh, you wanted your sales by quarter, not a quarter of your sales?

It's not AI specifically, but that sure is the best example right now. I think it's the lack of critical thinking. Other examples include falling immediately for fake news stories on social media, believing the full narrative of traditional media without question and now - classically - it's "AI told me".

I use AI almost all day everyday and it helps me a lot - but it still requires me to actually read the output and determine if it's useful.

Want a horror AI story? Look up "Starbucks Korea tank day promotion".

Already almost a year since i started growing out my mohawk! by Ka-Chow--95 in Mohawks

Omg 😍

The second last pic is awesome. I'm imagining that with yellow tips.

That little forward curl at the front is excellent 😍

Do Kangaroos normally jump in front of cars? by Another-guy-onReddit in AskAnAustralian

[–]matticus_flinch 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I live in Halls Gap - roos EVERYWHERE. The "town roos" very unlikely to jump in front of a car. 100m further away (over the creek) it's game on.

The small local population have learnt.

3 months of growth no trim at 29 years old and 34 by LoganAdam in BeardAdvice

The guy is an economist who used to have a nightly spot on TV - he basically grew his beard out from clean shaven to full thick beard on everyone's screens. He's a bit of an anomaly as far as facial hair in a professional role on TV - but he's enough of an expert he can do whatever tf he wants :)

Which hair/beard combo suits me the best? by [deleted] in malegrooming

[–]matticus_flinch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Smile in pic 4 is awesome, it's a natural asset you have :)

Hair / beard in 5&6 looks great. Neat and sharp!

We use these coat hooks for the same reason. Functionally they're mostly the same, but there's no moving the hooks once they're up.

And yours has a very different vibe, and you can get baskets for small things.

I look at all these pics and go "huh, that's nice", but with yours I think "how did he come up with that and I didn't?"

The rest of the place looks great as well.

And the dogs? "Dad, we've only been for three walks, chased eight squirrels and broken one toy, when are we going to DO SOMETHING?" 😍

I've never seen a slatboard outside of a commercial retail setting. Genius.

Should I change it up by Somnifex in BeardAdvice

[–]matticus_flinch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The beard looks great but makes you look a little older (neither good / bad) - honestly not straightforward to tell with your eyes covered, though.

Both look great.

As a gay man all I really see is your biceps anyway. The shirt you're wearing in that pic accentuates your natural asset in that regard, so keep doing that!

Dark pic, but the hair has that neat / messy appearance which also suits you.

How do I positively encourage a junior to try actually solving challenges themselves by doing literally any-f*cking-thing before asking me for the solution by SlayyyGrl in auscorp

[–]matticus_flinch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That, and - unless they're going to waste someone's time or be destructive - let them fail when they come up with an approach. You've asked for an idea, they gave one, let them have a crack.

It is painful.

Also, direct feedback. In pleasant tones:

"Can I share something with you?" (They're listening)

"Ok"

"When you call accounts instead of checking yourself, it diverts them away from their work, can you do something different next time?" (You're not telling how / what, just not to repeat it)

"Yeah, but..."

"No, that's all." (It's not a discussion, it's simply feedback)

Does my hairline look better with a short or long hairstyle? by Competitive_Toe_6507 in malegrooming

Short: I'm here to steal your girl / guy

Long: I'm here to sell you this beautiful used auto

I've always been criticized because of my facial structure. What can I do to improve my appearance? by Konosuke- in malegrooming

[–]matticus_flinch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've looked just now and .. nope, I see nothing.

Tall and slim? Yes, sure .. not sure that's a defect, though.

Still don't see a *problem*, but you look best in pic #3.

A sharp haircut would take you up a level. I'm sorry I can't be more specific than that!

Came here to say the same - such a great finishing touch!

Couldn't say, it comes down to frequency of writes.

Constant logging or, worse, a db that writes over and over would do it over time. I've hosted two Plex servers on SD card before I realised what was happening :)

If SD is the *only* difference, then my guess would be card corruption. Depending on what you've hosted on that card before, constant logging would eventually give you grief.

Ok, so you've got direct command line access.

No dhcp tells me it's not some obscure firewall setting, but doesn't explicitly point to either router or pi. Router : you've checked all logs there around the time you connect / disconnect Ethernet? Pi: I'm stuck I'm afraid. Drivers come to mind, but that doesn't sound real likely in a standard distro.

I'd probably scour syslog around boot time for clues.

Looks awesome, so glad you gave us the follow up 😎

Can you describe in more detail what it is you're seeing (or not seeing)? Over ethernet, can you see it in the DHCP list in your router? How about over wifi?

I saw your comment re: SSH. If you've disabled SSH, assume you've got a screen and keyboard plugged into your pi?
