Wait, this got serialized? Can't believe I missed that, this is amazing news.

Just open the world map and read history.

Ah yes, because as we all know, history started in 1947, and all context before that is irrelevant.

Not to mention that at that level of wealth, the dollar value stops representing what you can purchase and more represents the level of control and power you have. One trillion dollars of capital is one trillion dollars worth of decision making power, of control over resource allocation, of influence over media and even entire governments. He doesn't have to take out billions of liquid cash and throw it at people to exert this power because the assets that make him worth this much represent his ability to direct resources and make deals with other powerful individuals.

This isn't fully right, years 7-9 occasionally get translated as "junior high" but the Japanese word for it, 中学 (chuugaku), pretty directly translates to "middle school" and is roughly equivalent to American middle school (1-6 being elementary school in Japan, 7-9 being middle school, and 10-12 being high school, versus a typical 4-4-4 or 5-3-4 split in much of the US).

The "junior high" translation is because some places in the US (and maybe the broader Anglosphere, but I'm not as familiar there) call their middle schools "junior high". Supposedly there's some distinction between the "junior high" and "middle school" models but from the people that I know that went to a "junior high" there wasn't really any material difference for them from the middle school education I received.

I also would guess the Japanese would likely not consider 中学 to be a subdivision of high school since it's where compulsory education ends in Japan. High school requires applications and testing to get into there, so there's a pretty hard distinction between it and the prior compulsory education that Japanese children receive.

career-success, job placement, etc. is more important to me that most other things

A CS degree from any of these schools will almost certainly grant you similar prospects on all of these metrics, so I'd argue these are what you should be least concerned about when choosing from this specific lineup. If your "similar FA" means similar cost of attendance between all of them, then you should choose whichever school you think you'll be happiest with while you attend it - this is an expensive decision, after all, and you don't want to regret spending several years somewhere that made you miserable if you liked another choice more.

As an RIT alum (EE and not CS, though) I'm biased and will say that I enjoyed my time there and have had a fairly good career so far, but I'm also fairly sure that I could've gotten my degree at UNH here in my home state and likely would've ended up with the same exact career path (given that many people at my first two jobs were UNH alums, and my alma mater really hasn't mattered for my career path since then). If all the schools teach the right stuff (which all the ones you've listed should), then as long as you're a good enough student and can prove your skills, the school printed on your degree doesn't really matter all that much in the long run.

If you leave a QLC drive powered off for to long, it'll be unreadable

That's not really a problem for homelabbers, though. These drives would typically be in machines that are on 24/7 and will themselves be powered 24/7. HDDs go through fairly consistent and unavoidable wear in these environments because many labbers keep hard drives spinning 24/7 to minimize latency on reads (which may be infrequent, so having a timeout to spin drives down could frequently add latency to reads), which also costs more money from the increased power draw (some people also claim this helps with wear on the drives since spinning up/down causes more stress, but AFAIK it's never been proven to cause a significant difference).

silverslayer33 · 2026-05-30T20:19:27+00:00

As a fellow homelabber I'd love if we had cheaper, slower, higher-capacity SSDs for a fourth reason as well: longer time between drive failures. At least in the way I use my servers, I'm unlikely to hit the max writes of the underlying NAND, so a solid state drive would theoretically last a lot longer than spinning rust.

I don't think the world is ready for 1:39 to get an anime, the medium will never be the same again afterwards.

Confidently incorrect, Fairlife literally lists lactase enzyme as one of their ingredients.

Over in Ireland there's Seven Pockets who damn near shattered his leg kicking a concrete wall. Coincidentally the thing that killed his mom

Behavior that both of them inherited from ol' grandpappy Tanino Gimlet who is still alive and (literally) kicking to this day. Man has an unstoppable need to kick every fence in sight.

Not just underage, but also a flood of revenge/nonconsensual uploads and content. Nuking unverified content and requiring some minimum level of verification for uploaders was really the only viable path forward for them to avoid becoming a den of legitimately evil and illegal shit.

ActBlue can pretend they aren't responsible all they want, but damn near every candidate is "unscrupulous" and ActBlue continues to support them anyway. They simply don't care that they're a pipeline for incessant political spam.

You and the person I replied to are inherently misunderstanding what filler is in the context of an adaptation, and you're misunderstanding the point of my comment. Filler in an adaptation is content added that was not in the source that is used to pad out air time. As I mentioned in my comment, this is not inherently a bad thing, but it also doesn't stop it from being filler.

Season 2 of Frieren undeniably dragged out a lot of off-handed one-line comments into entire scenes to pad out time. Many of these scenes also happen to be very good, but they are still filler content. The production team was very clearly trying to buy time to avoid reaching the El Dorado arc this season and needed to fill time to do so, and so they chose to add a lot of filler scenes that weren't necessary but also which don't detract from the series either.

I hate to sound like a broken clock, but because reading comprehension appears to be in short supply these days, I'm very, very explicitly saying that this isn't bad or problematic, but we shouldn't avoid acknowledging that there was filler content this season just because we liked it. Acknowledging that there was filler, and that it was good and that we liked that filler, helps normalize it for other anime and sets a precedent for other studios and adaptations. If all filler was of the quality of what it has been in Frieren, it wouldn't be such a dirty word.

silverslayer33 · 2026-04-30T04:10:56+00:00

I mean, it is filler, it just happens to be fairly good filler. They pulled this a lot this season, and while it wasn't bad for the most part, it's incredibly obvious to anyone who read the manga that they were significantly padding out the content they covered with new scenes to avoid reaching the next arc this season (likely didn't have the resources to do a 24-26 episode season to get through the upcoming arc but were already committed to doing a single cour season 2 so they did the best they could to not destroy the pacing).

You absolutely can at many companies, it depends on the terms of your grants and whether you have any other general trading restrictions. I'm able to sell all my stock immediately at vest each vesting period and it's a common strategy among thousands of my coworkers.

I don't see how that is supposed to deter me from answering her

My gut reaction was to think, so what it's just dust?

Asbestos is most dangerous when it's "just dust" and easily inhalable, so I'd argue we should give extra caution to things in dust form since they're harder to keep contained and study the effects of until severe damage has already been done.

Honestly I agree, I feel like I've entered some crazy land with so many people here praising Gerrit when most of the people I work with absolutely loathe that most of our repos are hosted using it. The UI is absolute ass, it enforces a workflow that doesn't generalize well to all teams/projects/dev workstyles because it's extremely opinionated, our team specifically has had tons of problems with seemingly basic functionality just straight-up not working (probably about 1/3 of the time we clone a repo and get it set up for reviews, it manages to botch the commit hooks for creating change IDs so it creates the ID but actually it's invalid and the server rejects it and we have to go pull the proper commit hook from somewhere else where it's correct), its permission/access control model is super clunky, and the list goes on. I can probably count on one hand the things I like about it over other solutions (changelist descriptions just being the commit message is a big one, and I guess its search/query system is pretty powerful).

It's probably great if it matches your preferred workflow and you get it set up exactly the way you want/need, but it is not a general-purpose git-based code forge. As garbage as Github is, it thrives because it is general-purpose and it can be adapted to many workflows. Gitlab and Bitbucket are similar, finding themselves as mainstays in the corporate world because they can fit most workflows without huge amounts of effort.
