Edit: Well, ain’t that some shit. I have it in the app, but not online.

Bangs42@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.zip•Users ditch Glassdoor, stunned by site adding real names without consentEnglish7·1 year agoThis is correct.
However, having that information tied to your account at all is a little problematic, as you can only leak the data you have. No name? Can’t leak it.

How many digits of pi are necessary to calculate the diameter of the visible universe to within the diameter of a single electron?
Bangs42@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•People who almost never games anymore what happened ?English18·1 year agoI was primarily a PC gamer. Life happened.
Time was already tight. I was working 2 jobs totaling ~80 hours a week. About the time I finally quit one, my computer let out the magic smoke. Rent went up, replaced my beater of a car, bought a house because rent was going up again, found out I was going to be a parent, house needed work, replaced my SO’s car, fixed fire damage to the house, SO quit their job, found out I was gonna be a parent x2.
Things just got busy fast. That computer blew the magic smoke 6-7 years ago now. I’ve saved up the money to replace it several times, but something else more important always comes up. I’d still love to replace it and game again, but I’ve been out of it so long that I don’t even really know what games are out anymore or what I’d like to play, and honestly I get more joy out of occasionally playing Smash Bros on the Switch with my first kiddo. The game is ok, but time with the kiddo is valuable.

Today is always a good day to make the world a better place. Don’t add to the inertia.
I ditched my first email for first.last@domain.com right out of high school.
It was cringe enough that even 18 year old me recognized it.
Bangs42@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What were the consequences of you going to college? Do you think it helped you in life or did it only hold you back?English9·1 year agoTldr, get a basic associates degree. Do more later if it will prove advantageous.
My perspective is from living in the US.
It’s always worth going to a local community college, even if you have no idea what you want to do, and taking basic classes (writing, speech, etc.). You can come out with a general associates degree without any specialization, low cost, and learn a ton of skills that are broadly applicable in any profession. And if you decide to get a specialized degree later, those classes should transfer in, saving you time and money in the more advanced/specific degree. But there are currently lots of jobs that don’t require a specific degree, or any degree at all.
I personally feel like much of my time in college was wasted. I spent 6 years in college (4 is typical) pursuing degrees because I felt pressured into going to college, rather than working some basic jobs, saving money, and figuring out what I wanted in life. I was fortunate to come out without debt (thanks to some fortunate scholarships and hard work), but also with no money, a 2-6 year lag behind all my friends, and a degree with very little earning potential that I’ve ended up never using. I was fortunate enough to stumble into a great career where we do look at what degree someone had on their resume, but only as a point of conversation - it’s fun to see what studies someone had, and ask them to share what they learned. For the job, we don’t care what the degree is or if they even have one.

Bangs42@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is your favorite bag for carrying school/work stuff?English1·1 year agoTotally understand. I also have a Rush 5.11, which I love because I can change the pockets on the outside to match whatever I’m doing, thanks to MOLLE. But that bag sucks for travel. Not because it can’t hold anything, but because I got profiled hardcore. Every single time I traveled with that backpack, I got extra security screenings. I got tired of having to dump my bag out every time I flew, so I switched.
Bangs42@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is your favorite bag for carrying school/work stuff?English5·1 year agoLTT backpack. It does what they say it does - holds a metric ton of stuff, fits under an airplane seat, comfortable even when loaded. Bought it to use for work, and I can fit all my work gear for trips as well as clothes.

Bangs42@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why don't radar planes crew wear a parachute during combat missions ?English27·1 year agoI don’t think the design of the plane allows for it.
In fighters, it blows the canopy, triggers a rocket in the seat that gets the pilot clear of the disintegrating plane, and eventually deploys the chute.
These types of planes don’t have a canopy. They’re also much larger, which means it’s much more difficult to get clear.
