I managed to automate one job to the point I had maybe 45 minutes of stuff to do each day. Pandemic hit and my amazingly uneducated supervisor insisted there was no way I could remotely do my job. When you only see the same 4 walls with pretty much no other human interaction for 8.5 hours a day you start to go a little crazy. If I'm being completely honest they came close to finding me at my desk the next day a couple times. I have not automated away my new job, but I am wholeheartedly debating a career shift, not because it's difficult, because I've been burnt out for a few years now.

I'd honestly say Vance at this point. Both of them are indefensibly ignorant but Trump is very dumb and very cocky. Vance is very dumb but has shown to be able to follow orders really well, Trump might not do something because it conflicts with his interests, I believe Vance would do anything an old white guy tells him to as long as he is still starstruck.

I've been trying to quit for 18 years now. I've tried gum, patches, toothpicks, welbutron (or something like that), but this time it's going a bit better. We switched to cheap disposable vapes (Kadobar was what was near the house) which is totally not 'quitting' but when picking a flavor, Pick a bad one. I've found I don't like it, it's way too sweet and that keeps me from wanting to smoke it too much at a time, but when that need arises (bad meeting, car trouble, bad anxiety) it does deliver nicotine which keeps me from buying a pack.

As a side effect, I went from spending around $400-450/month on cigarettes, to around $~~160~~80/month (my wife went with one she likes, but she's quit before and I think she could do it anytime).

Edit: I'm bad a math

This totally isn't what you're asking for, but I absolutely love the 8bitdo adapter 2 thing (https://www.8bitdo.com/usb-wireless-adapter-2/) pair your DS4 controller to it and then just plug in the dongle. I haven't found anything it doesn't work on, but mainly I pop it between a pi3, pi400, and my LMDE desktop.

So handy.

Huge steam library, RTX 3060, currently playing either 7D2D, or vanilla WOW over on Warmane (excited for the upcoming move to TBC which is around 17 years old or so).

I'm torn on the FFVII remake, waited 20 years and I feel like I was handed a different game; it is a good game without a doubt, and the characters feel familiar. After eagerly jumping in and playing a while I found myself longing for a remake of the game I played for months before saving up enough for a memory card.

Much like good old MySQL, it's named for its creator and the last name My is pronounced 'me'. At least that's what I remember hearing or reading somewhere... I'm sadly too uncultured to know for sure (never made it that far around the globe).

Fair enough, if I thought it was just a bs professor my citation would be from whatever person I could find with that name. I've seen bad instruction and will follow it because it's part of the instruction (15 years ago I had one that graded by the number of sentences in your answer, they can get dumb), but I totally see how ChatGPT would just make stuff up.

I've played around a bit with Remotely (https://github.com/immense/Remotely) from what I've seen it's great for when a family member needs some remote support, it also has persistent agents for some stuff. Personally for remote administration I LOVE Apache Guacamole, it's super handy being able to use RDP/SSH/vnc/etc from a browser.

Edit: after reading the post it may not be what you're looking for. I don't think either of those would be good from an FPS standpoint.

No need for a diagram, I feel it's dumb and can be summed up really quickly. If your job is to teach, and you instead require additional time, perhaps schedule more classtime instead of outsourcing the step by step instruction part to the children's parents (requesting they teach a method they were never taught... looking at you common core bs). If the math lesson requires more instruction, make the finger-painting the homework, or plan the lessons to include time to reinforce the concepts.

Just a personal opinion though.

Is it invisible to accessibility options as well? Like if I need a computer to tell me what the assignment is, will it tell me to do the thing that will make you think I cheated?

All those examples have the company (the ISP in this case) choosing to hire someone, this would be more similar to:

If someone rents a hotel room, and then gets busted by the police for prostitution, is the hotel liable?
