It's not impossible and not sustainable. A 12/5 or 10/6 is considered "normal" in my industry/company. It's toxic af but a lot workplaces in the US bake in competition as either an incentive for compensation. Some teams have a mandatory oncall rotation that fits that schedule if not slightly more
The number of people replying anecdotally to this and other comments make me think it's a lot more pervasive than I'd assumed. Young people in particular are being encouraged to work these kinds of hours to "get ahead" or "show initiative" in the hopes they don't get laid off or overlooked for promotions
I personally work it and I cannot handle it. The second I'm home my brain is done, only have time to do some mild (unhealthy usually) mental decompression and sleep poorly lol
I grew up in a very conservative area. The people in my demographic only want to see change. The right wing government under Trump has been robbing the future blind with zero regard for anyone, but the sentiment I keep hearing is a perception that something is happening. "He's deporting the criminals," "he's saving our jobs," "he's making other countries pay us," "he's making America safe," ergo the idea that progression in any direction is progress. People are stupid and short sighted when they are struggling. So the adoption of populism makes a lot of sense to me
Another anecdote, there was a guy I used to work with that would say "we have to go all the way right to come back to center" and they actually believe that would happen lol
There are people at my job like that and it's so annoying. They never answer any questions about how they do things, so I'm having to reverse engineer their solutions if they decide not to be available lol
It's so frustrating how successful soloing information in corporate environments is
The transcode performance on the apple silicon is pretty solid if you wanted to go the media server route. Or have a really expensive NAS host lol
I have a macbook for work and I like it generally, it integrates well with other *nix environments. But if you don't use a laptop or don't want to have the uncomfortable interruption to your hotkey muscle memory it's a bit useless. I'd either sell it and/or find someone in my network that needs it
Archiving the original data is important. This is censorship, plain and simple. It's more important than ever to make sure we educate our children and peers about our history instead of whitewashing everything. 10 years from now I'm really hoping these events will be seen as nationalist vitriol
The travesty of the anthropocene. My future children and their children will likely be the first to experience the major impacts of how we've collectively damaged on this planet. I have to make a concerted effort to avoid thinking about it because it will very quickly deteriorate my mental health
Looked up this story in the local paper for a bit more context
Responding officers found Towery in his home dead from multiple stab wounds. Part of a lamp was stuck in his throat.
Unsure how this happens in a self defense situation. Imo if you were threatened and under duress you're gonna do what you have to do, but he was 80 years old
Fearing for her life and fueled by crack cocaine, she overcame Towery and stabbed him repeatedly -- 58 times according to an autopsy report.
The evidence showed Holberg also beat Towery with a claw hammer multiple times.
“I lost it," Holberg told jurors.
The reasoning behind the Trump-appointed judge's dissent:
"No jury in its right mind would believe that a 23-year-old cocaine-addled prostitute 'defended' herself against a frail old man by (1) stabbing him 58 times, (2) bludgeoning him with various objects including a steam iron, and (3) ramming a lamp base down his throat while he was still alive," Duncan wrote.
In the surface that's pretty reasonable, but the issue is the planted informant being encouraged to further incriminate the defendant:
However, the majority of the judges believed prosecutors heavily relied on Kirkpatrick's testimony -- particularly her description of how Holberg enjoyed killing Towery -- to secure the conviction and during the punishment phase of the trial when they asked for the death sentence.
