  • Post vacation blues

    Jump

  • One of the ways I knew I was burned out from my job was that when I got back from vacation, I felt as bad as I did just before the vacation. No improvement at all. The vacations were fine, but it was like opening a door into the same flood every day.

  • If you are too young you really missed out being able to do this

    Jump

  • Oh that's nice. We visited Germany about 10 years ago and didn't get international cell service, so we were relying on hotel wifi and other wifi hotspots. This kind of thing would have been great.

  • Ours was on a wall across from the office, but the wall opened up to the cafeteria just next to it. I recall students sometimes using it during lunch.

  • I'm annoyed with the idea of getting a Mac

    Jump

  • Yeah. We have a 2009 MacBook pro here that still works great, other than being horrendously out of date. I was getting 6+ hours of battery life out of it when it was new, which is pretty surprising in those days.

    And OS X is pretty nice (or was for the life of that laptop, I haven't used it much since then), and still Unix.

    When my wife needed a new laptop a few years ago, we got her a Mac, because it's just so much less maintenance for me, compared to Windows. (She uses some stuff that Linux does not yet support.)

  • Musk sports black eye at White House farewell with Trump

    Jump

  • Unfortunately, you're probably right.

    Wasn't Tesla the company that had a person (or group of people) dedicated to distracting him, thereby letting the rest of the company actually do work?

  • Micro-retirement

    Jump

  • A woman I know did just that, except she wrote a book during her "off" years.

  • Musk sports black eye at White House farewell with Trump

    Jump

  • I LOVE that he thinks his leaving government to refocus on Tesla will solve the sales issue Tesla has been experiencing.

    He just does not get it.

    Republican Sen. Joni Ernst defends proposed Medicaid cuts: 'We all are going to die'

    Jump

  • Hey, the death panels the Republicans predicted are coming soon!

  • Which program is the one that surprised you most that it is available on Linux?

    Jump

  • Vuescan.

  • Cringe at Farpoint

  • I just remembered the discussion without separation was in Disaster, when Troi was the senior officer on the bridge and a warp core breach was developing. Ro wanted her to separate the ship to save as many people as possible, but Troi wanted to wait in the hopes someone would get to engineering and fix the problem.

  • Cringe at Farpoint

    Jump

  • Yeah what was the point of that test?! "Oooh he give orders good."

    Break out the joystick like in Insurrection and let's fucking dock this thing MANUALLY.

  • Cringe at Farpoint

    Jump

  • Yeah I read somewhere they found it just slowed down the episode too much, so it wasn't used much after the first season.

    Correctly used in the movie though.

  • Cringe at Farpoint

    Jump

  • Not to ruin the mood, but I think the idea was that it was this scary procedure only used in extreme emergencies.

    For example, when the episode was running short by about 5 minutes...

  • Starfleet's most interesting captain

    Jump

  • Well, yeah. You need them for FOIA and potential lawsuits and audits.

  • To join Facebook these days, one must record a video selfie

    Jump

  • Who is actually creating a legitimate Facebook account at this point?

    I moderate a few groups on Facebook, and every account I see for new members that was created within the last few years is a spammer. The people who wanted Facebook accounts already have them. Very very few actual human beings are signing up for new legitimate accounts at this point.

    Facebook should just close the new account option. They're working toward AIs talking to each other and won't need human interaction any more anyway.

  • Can you rotate an apple in your head? (by Shen)

    Jump

  • A friend of mine has that condition where she can't visualize things. I wonder how she would like this comic. My guess is she'd crack a joke about it being a good thing she can't do this.

  • Aaaand credits

    Jump

  • It's the release from the stress of the moment.

  • Texas man sues Whataburger for nearly $1 million after burger had onions on it

    Jump

  • There's a great Carolyn Hax advice column from years ago where the writer's partner was vegetarian because he was actually allergic to meat.

    Writer's family thinks it's a lie and sneaks meat into a meal. That results in a ride in the "screaming white bus," as Carolyn put it, to the hospital.

    The writer defended her family and insisted it was just a joke, and partner was taking it too seriously. I've left out a lot of detail, but Carolyn basically tells the partner he should run from this relationship.

  • Same experience here as a GenXer - I don't recall my parents ever reading to me - they might have when I was really young, but they were also raising my brothers (6 and 7 years older than me), so I doubt they had much time.

    I was the avid reader in the family. When I got married, I stopped reading as much, but I still do some reading when I find a book that interests me. I have three or four sitting on my desk at the moment that I haven't started.
