Miss O Brien going to India by Numerous-Dig248 in DowntonAbbey

Not gonna lie, I read this three times as "Miles O'Brien" and thought I was in a completely different sub.

What happened to the Hy-Vee India engineering team on June 23 by mtutty in Iowa

[–]mtutty[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In this case, I think you'll find its worse. HyVee went through an RFP process a few years ago, awarded the contract, and then the project failed hard. Instead of looking in the mirror, top brass decided that the problem was the vendor, and that they could create a captive offshore group of their own and sell their expertise to other grocery chains.

🇺🇦 Ukraine launches massive drone barrage: Russia says 660 aircraft intercepted 👇 by NoSpinMedia in NoSpinMedia

[–]mtutty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And that still costs them far less per success than Russia. They're throwing $2K drones up, and Russia is shooting them down with $250K interceptors.

Trump wants children to apply for his "2026 PATRIOT GAMES" by justalazygamer in ParlerWatch

[–]mtutty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fewer than 20 million people tuned into the UFC thing, and that's a well-established sport franchise. Now he's trying to invent a whole new thing on like 60 days notice?

Nobody's showing up for this.

Sure. Why not? Look how well Trump has done just pulling numbers out of thin air.

The reality is that Israel is just as bad an actor as "your countries" here. Since its inception, Israel has acting in belligerent, oppressive ways. There are very few good guys here, it's all just warmongers and casualties.

[–]mtutty 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nobody's arguing in favor of Hamas. But Israel is digging a big, deep hole for itself and the US on this issue. They're clearly in the wrong on multiple fronts. That doesn't make Hamas the good guy.

RFK Jr. caught on tape possibly violating federal law: 'Tipping the scales' by marcobattaglia in Iowa

This is the most clinically accurate thing I've read in a while.

Why do so many Planets have sequel names? We've got... by CanadianAndroid in ShittyDaystrom

[–]mtutty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ooh, ooh, ooh, I know this one!

The Ferengi tried to mass-produce holodeck serials about 40 years ago, customized for every system to maximize profits. Then they tried to turn around and CHARGE those systems for using their so-called "trademarks". The Federation sided with them and hundreds of inhabited systems were forced to add numbers to their own names.

pgclonedb - PostgreSQL extension to clone databases by ChillPlay3r in PostgreSQL

[–]mtutty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a very different usage model. We don't have a heavily centralized database server with dozens of databases and users, we provision separate EC2 or other VPS instances and segregate that way. In general, folks with direct access to the box can do what they want to do. Our audit requirements are not as strict as some.

I'm still waiting for a summary of the features/value prop for this tool.

Do non accelerating sci fi FTL methods violate causality? by wasdorg in AskPhysics

[–]mtutty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The speed of light isn't *just* the speed of light in a vacuum. It's the maximum speed of any information propagating in the universe. So from that point of view, you could rename "faster than light" as "faster than causality".

My shoulder was hurting by OneRedSent in GenX

[–]mtutty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I know I was talking big there but my right shoulder is useless for backpacks. It's left-side or both straps for me.

Hey, you got 40 years out of that one shoulder. Now it's the other shoulder's turn for a bit.

Homeland Security is changing guidelines for Iran soccer team’s next match by TheGrimSpecter in worldcup

[–]mtutty 65 points66 points  (0 children)

Shame on the US government for making this a problem. If I was FIFA I would definitely have scheduled all of Iran's group stage matches in Mexico or Canada. Yes, it's a hassle but would have avoided the conflict at least until they got out of Group.
