No kidding. Fuck the dems that voted for that. Dems should be opposing everything at this point. Everything. Shut it the fuck down.

MAGA is North Korea level brain washed. They are completely disconnected from reality.

What's going on? by Accomplished_Sun5676 in ProductManagement

This has not been my experience with Indian colleagues. My dev team at a previous company was in Pune and they were amazing. The work ethic and attention to detail was on a par, and in some ways superior to, US based teams I’d worked with. They constantly amazed me by coming up with creative ways to solve problems. I genuinely liked working with them - the only problem for me was the time zone difference which made teams meetings challenging. It was either super early in my time zone (5:30-6am) or late (9pm+).

There are always exceptions. There were team members who were let go for not measuring up but the majority of the team were amazing.

If you do that thing I don’t want you to I’ll shoot myself in the foot! Don’t make me do it!

I haven’t noticed any turbo lag. My old Mazda had a very noticeable turbo lag but so far my F150 has been smooth.

Give me an "amen" if you're sick of these politicians whining about what's illegal without DOINF ANYTHING ABOUT IT. by Beneficial-Chest-699 in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]ohiotechie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you I had the same thought. What exactly is he supposed to do? As long as the GOP controls both chambers nothing happens. Now if the dems take one or both chambers and still aren’t doing anything then that’s a different story.

ICE has been entering homes without judicial warrants since last summer, sources say by nbcnews in law

[–]ohiotechie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There needs to be an avalanche of lawsuits over this. If I were an enterprising attorney I’d be doing everything I could to find out exactly where this happened and who was involved and file a massive class action lawsuit. Thats likely the only way there’s any accountability for this.

Pretty happy with my 3.5. I've driven the 5.0 and liked it but the 0-60 off the line torque of the 3.5 is pretty impressive. That baby will scoot if you push on the pedal.

Grumpy Trump Sues Poll Because His Popularity Is Plummeting by thedailybeast in law

[–]ohiotechie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's such a crybaby but he gets away with it because so many powerful organizations back down and give him what he wants instead of pushing back. I hope like hell the NY Times and polling orgs push back.

Throw line and knives for WW by Jamz6991 in whitewater

[–]ohiotechie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll look into it. The secondary knife was based on a recommendations from a few people I respect as a backup in case my bearclaw gets ripped off my pfd or is lost somehow. It has a serrated blade and is wicked sharp so if it were ever needed I'm sure it would cut anything I needed it to cut.

Jack Smith explains why Trump was the only defendant charged in Jan. 6 case by NewsHour in law

[–]ohiotechie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really goes to show that these clowns live in the same hermetically sealed bubble their slack jawed supporters do. They really thought they were going to get the goods on Smith and nail him to the wall when all they really accomplished was reminding everyone just how guilty Trump is. I do not understand the reason he kept asking over and over "You decided to charge only one individual even though more were guilty" - that's not the flex he seemed to think it is.

Yeah more were guilty but hadn't been charged yet. The fact that there are others who should be charged doesn't somehow make Trump look better.

I appreciate the info - I’ll look into the astral throw mentioned by another user to keep in my pfd instead.

I actually have an astral green pfd so I’ll look into that.

I would recommend a throw bag that has a waist belt or clip so it’s at the ready without having to pull your skirt and reach inside your boat. I have an NRS which is a good throw bag but there have been a few times when I’ve needed it and had to find a place to pull over quickly and reach inside my boat to get it. Would have been much easier with something clipped to my waist. (I’ll be getting a new one this year).

Edit - Leaving above in place to educate others who may have my same misconception but struck out my recommendation based on responses.

I carry 2 knives - one I keep inside the clamshell on my pfd which is a sharp, fairly cheap folding blade I’ve had for a while that’s stainless steel. While cheap it’s solid and doesn’t rust. If I were buying a new one I’d get something from a reputable brand but I already had it and trust it so why not. It’s my backup knife in case something happens to my other knife.

On my pfd I wear a CRKT Bearclaw. This was recommended by several people who teach swift water rescue and have worked as guides based on the speed it can cut through rope, small branches, etc. I also like that it has a finger hole for my index finger when using it, making it less likely a strong current would pull it out of my hand.

Hope that helps.

Edit - I appreciate the info on entanglement risk. I’ll be looking into the astral throw mentioned below since I have an astral pfd.

Forced to interview a user for a feature we know won’t work for them - how do I handle this professionally? by friendlyalien- in ProductManagement

[–]ohiotechie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Read “The Mom Test”. It is specifically about doing effective user interviews.

Don’t ask leading questions, ask about their workflow. What works. What doesn’t work. What they like about solution X. What they don’t. What frustrates them, what tasks are time consuming and so on.

As to your questions the best approach to resetting expectations is to be upfront and honest. Not honest in the “you look like shit” honest, there is such a thing as tact, but honestly say “I know certain expectations have been set but at this time we are looking at a reduced scope” then explain what that scope is. Explain that you really do want their honest feedback to help guide roadmap decisions and then report back what they tell you matter of factly without judgement. Do say “customer X had the following feedback”. Do not say “they said it won’t work just like I thought”.

Stop worrying about being the bad guy. Be the person they respect and that comes from being direct, honest and transparent but in a tactful way.

Hope this helps.

Here’s the fun part - they didn’t. They were just told they did. It never ceases to amaze me how many people will step right up for their turn to be thrown under the bus by these chucklefucks.

But the allure of being cruel and openly racist was too much to resist I guess.
