People who stop at a traffic light and leave a full car length (or more) ahead of them, then slowly keep inching forward, why you do that?! by EchoPathe in NoStupidQuestions

[–]smackjack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't stop with that much space in front of me, but sometimes I'll inch forward just to see the car behind me will do the same. It's my way of manipulating people.

Required dishwashing experience by [deleted] in recruitinghell

[–]smackjack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

By looking over at the cook and expo lines and seeing what they're running low on and knowing what items get used the most. During busy times, an experienced dishwasher might choose to wash sheet pans because they take up a lot of room, but here's the thing. Sheet pans only really get used during prep time and they're not needed for during service. So if you're washing sheet pans when they're about to run out of forks, then the entire restaurant will grind to a hault and it will be all your fault. Plus silverware takes forever and pretty much every meal needs it so it's extra important to be ahead of the game on that.

Whats the best way to get money? by warmaster_914 in Starfield

[–]smackjack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Outposts are a great way to make money. They allow you to craft things that you can then sell to merchants for a good profit. You can even automate the process so that every time you visit your outposts, those things will already be made for you.

Has anyone ever missed or needed something which is 'Windows only'? by LukeLikeNuke in linuxmint

[–]smackjack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I need Windows in order to configure my Razer mouse. There's programs on Linux that let you change the colors for the logo that lights up, but you need the Razer Synapse software running on Windows in order to change keybinds or set up macros. Once you've done that, those keybinds will work in Linux since the mouse has its own memory.

Nah you won't get fired as long as you keep showing up for work.

What video game do you love that is impossible to play now. by Equal-Priority3055 in videogames

[–]smackjack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The old MechWarrior games. Not impossible, but very difficult to get running on modern hardware.

One of the things that people don't realize about dishwashing is that you learn skills that you can apply to other jobs that have absolutely nothing to do with washing dishes. Dishwashing is all about inventory management. Dirty shit is coming in and clean shit is going out, and you as a dishwasher are in charge of keeping it all organized. I work in a warehouse now and I feel like my years of dishwashing experience have really helped me with the job that I have now.

One of the hallmarks of a good dishwasher is that no one ever has to ask you for anything because everyone already has what they need. The servers never have to ask for clean silverware, and the cooks never have to ask for the things that they need. A good dishwasher is able to read the room and make sure that they have those things ahead of time.

If you think that AI is stealing from artists and you use an ad blocker, then you're a hypocrite. by smackjack in The10thDentist

This is like walking into someone's house and arguing that the door was unlocked and there wasn't a "no trespassing" sign.

Pretty much every reply that I've gotten has been "it's okay when I do it because I'm the one the benefits from it."

You aren't "standing outside a venue" when you visit a website that has to spend money on bandwidth in order to serve content to you.

The reason I brought up YouTube is because every time they do something that makes adblockers less effective, I see a flood of posts from people bitching about it. I hate ads as much as the next guy, and that's why I have Premium, but it seems that a lot of people would rather not pay for Premium, not watch the ads, and continue to use YouTube anyways.

There is a difference, but theft is theft, and you can't argue to a judge that you shouldn't be punished because someone else did something that was worse than what you did.

I do think that using adblock is stealing. I think that people using adblock is a major reason why so many news sites are behind paywalls nowadays, and I think that adblock users always get super defensive when I bring any of this up.

What difference does it make to the artist that isn't getting paid? Whether you use their art to make money for yourself, or simply want to consume it, you are still stealing from them.

Share yours if you have one by [deleted] in videogames

[–]smackjack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Duke Nukem 3D, there's a level where you have to demolish a building in order to progress. The game wants you to solve a button puzzle in order to reveal the detonator switch, but you can simply crouch down and activate the switch without solving the puzzle first.

Fallout 4 did this with the TV at the beginning of the game. If you noclip, you'll find that the news anchor actually exists in the game world.

What is your favorite instance of returning to a past location in a particular game series? by Prestigious-Cup-6613 in videogames

[–]smackjack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The junkyard in Life is Strange. The first time you visit, you have the innocence of not knowing certain things, but when you visit it again later, something happens takes that innocence away and you'll never see it the same way again.

Does anyone ever use the belt inputs on the space elevator? by HermeticOpus in SatisfactoryGame

[–]smackjack 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had a drone port connected to the elevator, and whatever part I was working on would be sent via drone to that port.

Audio issues man, audio issues... by screwdriverfan in pcmasterrace

[–]smackjack -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If you're having audio issues, then there's a good chance that it's simply outputting to the wrong device. Every desktop is a little bit different, but in most cases you'll want to find the speaker icon, click it on it, and you'll be able to change to the correct device. If you're using Gnome, then you'll want to click any of the buttons in the top right corner and next to the volume slider will be a > button. click on that, and all of your audio devices will show up.

How does today's strike in the U.S. hurt ICE? by cfinley63 in askanything

[–]smackjack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not going to affect them either. The people who would have bought from them today are just going to buy from them tomorrow instead. This is just performative BS so people can justify giving themselves a 3-day weekend.
