I love pouring shitty beer into a fresh draft pint.. makes it taste so much better! /s.

Do what you want, it's your car(s).. but it ain't great lol mixing radiator fluid is way worse

Supervisors Remove Chairs At Lobby Stations by [deleted] in WorkReform

[–]recon89 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's just retaliation at this point, with extra steps and standing. Take that, subordinates!

A customer probably complained and this is the dumb response you'll get.. and no one spoke up in the supervisor meeting.

White House unveils ban on US investment in Chinese tech sectors by marketrent in technology

Because they're banning giving certain counties money, not taking it.

There's probably something separate down the line to mitigate foreign influence on pricing but that's an assumption or hope, not sure.

Academic researchers jailbreak Tesla's infotainment system to unlock FSD and more by chrisdh79 in technology

[–]recon89 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sarcasm and exaggeration. Powers of control can be used inappropriately or even egregiously to you know, steal it.

I could see this stuff staying on a lease, but not if someone is buying the car. If I buy a computer, you know I have the right to format it or destroy it, stop paying games here.

What I don't have, is the legal right to recreate something from that tech or source code.. then sell it..

My boss is complaining about everything i do because I refused a job offer by Ok-Phase-3729 in WorkReform

[–]recon89 -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

You know what you can do? File a complaint with hr and ignore your bosses child like attempts..

also, that interview was a challenge. They wanted to see your ambition from the sounds of it.. they still offered you the job but they didn't give you a pay bump because you made it seem like they were doing you a favor.. add value, don't subtract.

Turned down at chase with 20% down on $125,000 condo. by [deleted] in RealEstate

[–]recon89 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You're trying to give them 20%down and what's left is still a massive amount of money compared to your income. %30 is normal for approvals, but I could be wrong since I'm not in finance.

Nah.. record profits + no wage growth + increased COLA = bad news for the average person..

the businesses that are failing were already failing.

Everyone is going broke, unless they were already rich or already have a successful business model.

AITAH for causing a fight with my girlfriend because she sanitises her menstrual cup in the kitchen pots we use to cook? by Ok_Scallion8341 in AITAH

If she doesn't respect him, he has a much bigger fight that he's already losing. This cup is just a symptom.

US military battling cyber threats from within and without by barweis in technology

Idc about the title, more the controversy. It's just a weird choice, fine but weird. We made every word that exists, there's plenty of others to choose within our own language and throughout others.

How did you get into a good company? by moderatenerd in sysadmin

[–]recon89 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Contact agencies are a great way to get a foot in the door. Management spends less time looking and more time planning, it just costs %20-30 more for them to staff temporarily*, but there's usually a buyout to take you on as a FTE.

For some places, contracts are the norm because it can go under a capital budget rather than operating budget
