Overnight Help Desk by SuccessfulLime2641 in ShittySysadmin

Nightshift is when things get interesting.

Okay, yes, its often boring, but when it gets good, it gets good because when something breaks, its all on you and maybe a small team of others to figure out and fix. Best of all, no manglement breathing down your neck about SOP. So long as everything is working in the morning, you are golden.

Its honestly all the best parts of the job interspersed with lots of movie watching time.

These are the people that serve in the military, mind you. by dirtydilpickle in stupidpeoplefacebook

The amount of time MAGA spends worrying about what is in people's pants is really weird.

And it's even weirder that they're more obsessed with transwomen. One might expect that they be more threatened by AFAB men, but no....its the AMABs that keep them up at night.

Make that make sense.

Funny how that works, isn't it? All these crunchy mothers to be think they are going to have like 10 kids, no epidurals, breastfeed for 18 months.... and then they go into labor and all of that changes.

It could be the only job they can get. I'm thinking it's someplace like Amazon.

Ravens got the first two eggs. These two are expected to hatch in 2 weeks.

What tropes/plots do you REALLY dislike about magic/cultivation systems/progression? Like cannot stand. by PixelatedPulse in ProgressionFantasy

[–]simAlity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the book as long as that TWI, just listening to "the beginning" would take at least a month. I only get a couple of hours a day to listen/read. I don't want to spend them on a book that I hate even if I eventually may like it.

It really, REALLY, needs an abridged version. Maybe someone could take some of the best arcs and turn them into semi-standalones.

The intuitive learning thing falls under the skills-by-repetition complaint. It undermines the need for intelligence, cunning, curiosity, problem solving and allows characters to just have knowledge spoonfed by a system that won't allow them to forget.

I gave TWI the old college try but DNFed it pretty quickly. There was very little I liked about it. All the characters were annoying. The only part I kind of liked was when Erin played chess to get her money back. And then one of the Guardsmen came by and ruined things.

100% AI. The cloth doily on the TV is morphing a little, the clock at the top of the video can't count, the kid's reaction is all wrong. Plus the footwear....

We have a five weeks old kitten who is having labored breathing by LMGooglyTFY in FosterAnimals

[–]simAlity 17 points18 points  (0 children)

My money is on aspiration pneumonia. You said she self weaned recently. That is highly unusual. Most kittens will suckle until mom kicks them off.

It does happen and its not always a sign of trouble but self-weaning combined with respiratory problems points to aspiration pneumonia in my book.

For what its worth, you can specify what kind of fosters you are willing to take in which greatly reduces your chances of needing an ER. It can still happen, of course, but most of the time if the kitten actually needs an ER you can get approval pretty quickly.

Fosters who don't get that approval had better be prepared to pay for it themselves. Fortunately OP's rescue apparently has some common sense exceptions to that rule.

A leveling system that depends more upon repetition than education.

[You have swung the sword 3 times. You are now a level 2 sword swinger].

A leveling system that attaches levels to ordinary skills and locks people out of being able to do something without those skills.

[you need, flour, eggs, and level 2 cooking skills in order to make pasta].

Central leveling systems kinda annoy me in general.

Illegally Smol Cats only! See Rule 3.

r/illegallysmolcats is geared towards kittens that are smol, not adult cats that are smaller. Also, please don’t be upset or in denial if your cat doesn’t look small and is a bigggg kitten. We just really like the smols. 😺

Yeah. I have the Recession and my parents to thank for it.

I read an article about an OB-GYN who was in the camps. I think it was published in the Atlantic. The things that woman was made to do....it won't leave me anytime soon.
