I’ll mention that a pixel with CalyxOS works great as well, no google code code other than AOSP which helps battery life a lot.

Some things like voice controlled companion or android auto are being implemented, but I never really gave a fuck about that stuff, being on bicycle or motorcycle only.

I don’t care how nice the sports car is, if it’s not going where I want it to, I’m not getting in.

No. As an engineer, I can and will vouch for building a larger, stronger chain of regret against greed, lest this type of shit happen again years down the line.

The more people scarred by touching and feeling the results of their own greed and hubris, the longer it’ll be before we see such disregard for human life in an engineering firm.

The trick is how many more of us there are. The aristocracy seemed pretty complacent and untouchable, until one day when that changed.

Not saying it’s gotta get to that point, but making people see the direct consequences of their greed would be so good for us all.

Bullshit, these fucks led to hundreds of terrified deaths in pursuit of profit alone.

Accountants, engineers, manages, round em up and make them look through the wallets and personal possessions of the people who perished.

Looks like a few ways to test for this, how’d you guys find the needle in the haystack? Doctors won’t actually run all the tests for cost reasons…

Honestly, missing a bit of dickskin is a lot less troubling to me then how hard we all work and have no real protection from the hurdles life sometimes throws at us.

Who’s taking care of my elderly family, spread out across the states? My nephews have to choose between affording a home by both going to work, or actually raising their young kids. Where is our eldercare, our universal healthcare, our pre-k benefits?

I have my reasons to gripe about society, and crazy as mutilating a baby under the pretense of health is, I don’t think it’s as deadly or dangerous to us all long term, as these oligarchs and their sycophants robbing us of our dues, enabled by an unregulated economy.

The clock keeps ticking on the detonator.

I don’t hate my doctor or my parents for doing what they thought was a good idea at the time.

I’m fine and I love both my parents just the same. Hopefully you can find peace as well.

Yeah, it sounds like Qualcomm is driving straight at a cliff’s edge in terms of their reputation…

I’m enjoying the hell out of just my commute here in Seattle, on a motorcycle in the rain.

Mt Rainier is unbelievable, the way it looms.

Ugh, despicable.

They sort of tried at my last job… There’s portable, non admin installs of Firefox available. The tricky part was ssl inspection certificates, but even that is easier than it used to be.

Fucking atrocious. What do these red states actually produce?? Only two things I can think of are Texas instruments and mouser electronics.

Same here, even my newly issued work PC always gets the Firefox treatment. Annoyingly, some sites that I need for work (almost, but not quite, zero) just do not work with Firefox, but do with chrome.

There’s some cool weird stuff in sf, what about Folsom street fair, there’s the DNA lounge with Davidson underground music, etc… Lots of kids in the mix, but it’s your life too, fuck it.

Who wanted to eliminate that? My Grama used to work at Bell Labs as a researcher when it was in Manhattan, she always looked back fondly on those chapters of her life. Startups are fun, but Christ are they unstable and you’re wearing 11teen hats simultaneously.

What do you mean by boomer tech?

What a useless example of “progress” 🙄

I have to think a light mg is also low caliber. Either way, don’t feel like thinking about this low utility topic. Thanks for your comment regardless.

Well… Don’t worry too much. Money moves so that rich cities no longer are, the creatives move around so that centers of creativity aren’t (see Haight Ashbury), etc etc etc.

Look for a spot with friends that calls to you. I miss Washington heights, now that I live a little south of LA. Gonna try Seattle out next, just following where the work is and where the people are.

That said, I bet you’ll find something in NYC if you looked.

Christ, that sounds kinda miserable. My condolences, I hope you can figure something out. If you’ve got free time, try for some licensure of some kind.
