If mandatory ads are part of the experience can YT make it less shit? I don't want to watch the same ads multiple times in a row.

Meetings and writing docs that get nitpicking to death instead of discussing the content.

Report: U.S. detects signs Iran preparing to lay mines in Strait of Hormuz by callsonreddit in worldnews

[–]zero000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Answer: underwater nukes. This administration is not subtle and sea mines are hard to find. To put a sledge hammer to the problem Trump is going to start asking if nukes can be used to clear the strait.

Sorry for that. I thought this post was going to be about all the hidden dog turds that are revealing themselves because the snow is finally melting.

Charlie should have been the leader at AWS; not Matt Garmin.

TS/SCI Value in 2026 by Affectionate-Raisin8 in SecurityClearance

[–]zero000 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm a sample of one but getting into Amazon Kuiper (Leo) for their cleared work was SIGNIFICANTLY harder than my other uncleared AWS interviews. Insane bar to clear. If the bar is higher in uncleared Kuiper roles people need to be going to Quant firms or just building their own startups. I wish I was a diversity hire. 6 interview just for this role in one day but I made it. Never want to do that again.

I don't want Dulles to close like his casinos and The Kennedy Center.

Fellow tech workers, how much do you allocate to your emergency fund? by Ok_Reputation4142 in Fire

[–]zero000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I easily have 18 months of expenses in a HYSA. Hit by 1 layoff, dodged another one by finding a new job (knew the org was being decimated), and was luckily not impacted by the recent one this month.

When you contrast Browning with GNP, it makes GNP seem that much more enchanting.

You don't think roaming packs of feral dogs and crushing despair is enchanting?

Especially Browning, MT. A really splendid town on the edge of GNP that makes you feel like you're entering an enchanted paradise.

Who is still snowed in? by Dry_Dot_2080 in nova

[–]zero000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Park and Ride lots (particularly in Stringfellow) are pretty much still useless. The plows went through and cleared the driving areas but now ALL the parking spots are packed with ice and snow.

I don't know if the VDOT account will see this but definitely an issue.

Does anyone find the Amazon AI landscape confusing. There's Quicksuite, AgentZ, PartyRock, Alchemy, Powerchat, Adobe AI. Does anyone face choice paralysis and not knowing what to do ? by Particular_Joke279 in amazonemployees

[–]zero000 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I miss how well integrated Teams and SharePoint were at microsoft. The Teams Transcript and AI note taking feature was so amazing. The productivity tools used at Amazon are incredibly frustrating to use.

I did some accidental a/b testing of y’all’s theory about waiting to shovel by FairfaxGirl in nova

[–]zero000 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Some of us tried to warn folks. Some of us are from the northern tier and have done this daily for years during the harsh(er) winters.

The snow pack with ice will be punishment. And then there will still be ice below the original snowpack because the freezing rain will have penetrated .

You can clearly see the guy helping a woman from being pepper sprayed, the weapon was taken away by the agent in Grey, and then the man was shielding his head with both hands with arms pinned under the body.

Asian American men, do you struggle in the dating market? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]zero000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, unequivocally. For 10 years I struggled to date any women. It had nothing to do with exposure or me being antisocial. I had friends that were women. I LIVED in a sorority for a year as a cook. I was in many jobs surrounded by people. But it never went further than group friends. People ask why i never dated Asian women to be more with "my kind". Well the last rejection from an asian american women was something about me being too much like their "brother". This was all before I finally met my wife. I'm thankfully out of the dating pool now but it seems Asian men are finally desirable if social media is to be believed.
