They make too much heat for that. If they let you stack it, it would have to be bigger and actually have adequate ventilation. That would cut into their margins and not look cool.
Miracast is too laggy for these kinds of video games. No one wants to play an FPS and deal with compression artifacts and latency from miracast.
Bluetooth would be simple enough to add with a usb adaptor. Real gamers will probably want a wired connection anyway. No fun in losing a match when the wireless gets fritzy.
PC's got good enough about 5-10 years ago that this specs chase is a distant memory. If you spend $500 every 5 or so years you will be a head of the game.
Valve might prefer you do that, it is why steam has a big picture mode after all.
While I would prefer this be handled properly by society via a proper social welfare system, I wonder if there is not another way to handle this.
Since I am skeptical of charities in general and outright pissed at what they pay their executives I would love to see a person to person version of this. For instance some sort of website that would match those in need with those who want to help while still keeping it anonymous. A website might not be the best move, with the limited access to technology some of these people might face, but my seeing that as a solution is I fear an occupational hazard.
While I agree with your sentiments in the last paragraph the timeline has me a little confused. Is this still a situation you find yourself in even after finding employment, or was this a very recent event still?
Generally speaking any meat near the impact site is already ruined regardless of the type of material. This goes for bow hunting as well, and this is why hunters who are after meat (as opposed to trophy) will often try for a head shot instead of a body shot.
Not generally with Whitetail. The ribcage is pretty much useless for meat anyway. No way with a bow. It would be unethical with a bow to shoot a deer in the head, a neck shot might be acceptable but that would ruin far more edible meat than a shot through the rib cage.
Steel shot is required in the entire USA for waterfowl hunting. Hunting and sport shooting do contribute to lead contamination to enough of a degree to get rid of it.
Not the same spot on the ground. Some locations can impact ground water, other locations not so much. This is why lead shot has been banned for waterfowl use for ages. As a hunter and person generally interested in the out of doors the removal of lead from hunting ammunition makes good sense.
Yes, and I am exempt. That does not mean I work for free. That means you get some hours and I get some back later. Like when I want to make private calls while at work.
We seem to work together better than that. If they need something they can ask sysadmin or more likely get helpdesk to install it. Any screwing with the machines will likely end in termination.
If a dev wants a mac or linux machine then they are assumed to be competent enough to handle it themselves.
No more like you don't know what you will be doing today, because you have hundreds of servers and anything could break or be screwed up by someone. Even when you find the problem, it might not have a known cause and you will have to try to find that. It gets fixed when it gets fixed. Sometimes that means staying late, sometimes it means some dev machine is not usable for a couple days. If you want more than that I would want more money since that was not the deal I agreed to when I was hired.
I might be considered coarse by my language, but I will terminate someone before I stoop to threats of violence. I would terminate anyone I had that did use them, no second chances.
The reality is, you keep that up and even in the sticks you will be paying out big one day. You might even spend sometime in the county lockup. I have lived in the sticks and the cops there would love to have someone to fill up their cells. Helps justify keeping them.
Worse yet, you may end up dead. In the small town I worked in before this job many people carried concealed, they would not hesitate to shoot someone larger than them attacking them.
Buffalo NY. Many of our employees take public transit as they cannot afford a car or live very close. I live within 5 miles and in the summer might start taking public transit as well. My household has two cars, but the cost of gas and hassle of driving make even the bus seem attractive.
The fuck it is. You get X hours for Y dollars. You want more you pay more. That is it. If I had a manager that tried that BS with me, I would be sure to take full advantage of all my breaks, work only to the clock and any on call or after hours would of course be done in such a way to only barely meet the requirements and time limits. Sure I could be paged at 4am but since I have a 4 hour window I will go back to bed until 8am and do it then.

I think he means if you don't use that feature you will be safe.
You do not need offline mode if you only buy indie DRM free games on steam.
Why so much RAM and still a spinning disk?
I bet my machine with 4GB of RAM and an SSD is faster to use.

Funny, but it is really for the environment not the target. Most bullets pass through and then end up in the ground eventually.
No most planes do not.
Only small aircraft run 100LL and I am not sure there are even the majority there anymore.
How many of those are there really?
I would think that group would be served the most by assistance programs, unlike the typical crazy homeless person.
How do we help these folks if their needs are not being currently addressed?
You can already buy them.
They are mandated in California for hunting already I think or soon will be.
Yes, and I am exempt. That does not mean I work for free. That means you get some hours and I get some back later. Like when I want to make private calls while at work.
In all but some scandinavian nations this is only used in tiny amounts. Most people are not fans.

That is likely because their flesh is soaked in ammonium chloride and as such inedible. They use the ammonium chloride to maintain buoyancy.
Our devs are developing software to run on Linux servers, they are using windows desktops. They have no need to do anything special on their desktops.
Yeah, these are windows using devs.
They would not know what to do with a debian box.

My job meets that definition of a real job.
Not sure what you mean by real jobs.
In my profession often the amount of work to be done is not predictable in that sort of way.

That shit cuts both ways.
A work phone is not a perk, it is a way to contact you after work. When they are expecting you to work more for free.
Stop being such a doormat.
He is no ones manager, just another internet toughguy. Here in reality HR gets rid of lawsuits waiting to happen ASAP.
