Announce you're a time traveler sent back...

Super useful when I have a half-baked idea or concept that I want to learn more about, but don't know the lingo. I can explain the idea and it'll give me terms to search.

Also, it gives pretty good ideas for debugging or potential fixes.

Not sure i'd ever "trust with my life", but it's a useful tool if you use it right.

It really is that simple. I wouldn't chose it over wired, but it's still pretty good. You're going to beat the latency of satellites every time.

Nope, the game ends with checkmate. The king is the only piece that can't actually be captured. It's in the rules, look it up.

If you're on a boat... fair enough.

Otherwise, look into WISPs... Wireless Internet Service Providers. Great for rural areas, the infrastructure is point-to-point radios, so it's super easy to go large distances without the cost of fiber or copper cables.

Best part is, if you have any neighbors that are interested, they'll often give you a discount if you let them put a sector antenna on your barn/silo. Or they can also erect a short tower if you let them too.

If there aren't any in your immediate area, reach out to ones nearby. They're always looking to expand.

"Conspiracy to ___"

Slave labor?

For all we know it could be the exact same thing the US does with our prisoner work programs.

So if we're going to call out China, can we please stop doing it here too?

I hate my job... (lemmy.world)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by piecat@lemmy.world to c/funny@sh.itjust.works

My job is so fucking unbelievable.

I'll try to sum it up by first telling you about the folks I work with:

First, there is this supermodel wanna-be chick. Yeah, okay, she is pretty hot, but damn is she completely useless. The girl is constantly fixing her hair or putting on makeup. She is extremely self-centered and has never once considered the needs or wants of anyone but herself. She is as dumb as a box of rocks, and I still find it surprising that she has enough brain power to continue to breathe.

The next chick is completely the opposite. She might even be one of the smartest people on the planet. Her career opportunities are endless, and yet she is here with us. She is a zero on a scale of 1 to 10. I'm not sure she even showers, much less shaves her "womanly" parts. I think she might be a lesbian, because every time we drive by the hardware store, she moans like a cat in heat.

But the jewel of the crowd has got to be the fucking stoner. And this guy is more than just your average pothead. In fact, he is baked before he comes to work, during work, and I'm sure after work. He probably hasn't been sober anytime in the last ten years, and he's only 22. He dresses like a beatnik throwback from the 1960's, and to make things worse, he brings his big fucking dog to work. Every fucking day I have to look at this huge Great Dane walk around half-stoned from the second-hand smoke. Hell, sometimes I even think it's trying to talk with its constant bellowing. Also, both of them are constantly hungry, requiring multiple stops to McDonalds and Burger King, every single fucking day.

Anyway, I drive these fucktards around in my van and we solve mysteries and shit.

There's idiots lining up out the door to get a taste of fake power.
