Rick and John are two of the best cave divers in the world, if it was easy to get them out with scuba they'd be out by now - those two are so good at this that you can trust that whatever can be done from a diving point of view is being done.
Shocking isn't it - the thought that people who are like actual experts on a thing might know a lot more about that thing than people who are experts on other things - or nothing.
I'm screwing a 2-to-6 outlet adapter into the existing outlets, buying a half-dozen 99c power adapters from China, and double checking my fire insurance
I think the retarded fuckhead who wrote the article is referring to things where the plug is integral to the device, whatever it is - PSU, battery charger, night light.
Why he didn't make that clearer is left as an exercise for the reader.
It's usually because they're trying to use a standard case for different voltages.
Maybe, but I've got a few battery chargers & power supplies (actually, a small crate of the latter[1]) and they're mostly either a) small enough that they play nice or b) they'd be too big on any of the socket standards I'm familiar with - UK, US, Europe).
It's a similar problem to why so few electronics devices that come with wallwarts actually have any indication on the wallwart what the device it came with is.
They used to, though, even if they probably didn't make them themselves. But it probably adds a decicent to the cost to have a specific label.
Leaving you to guess about it based upon the output and polarity before inserting it into the device hoping for a fit.
Really guess, because sometimes they don't print it on the device either. Yes, Mr Seagate Expansion Desktop external HD, I did look at you.
Personally, I prefer the ones where the actual electronics are a ways away from the plug
And if they can cold-call prospects they can be in there before all the others, Einstein. It's also why they ask for references in advance. It's probably more prevalent in contracting because there's more churn.
I know for a fact they do it because it's happened to me. Backfired on one occasion because the guy thought it was pretty shady and didn't like being messed around so he blacklisted them.
If he's saying something that is concerning enough to take children away, why would it be better if he could say those things anonymously or pseudonymously?
Because "concerning enough to take children away" is such a low bar you could easily trip over it.
Getting treatment for mental health issues is generally the right thing to do, but is seen as the wrong thing to do - especially by judgemental idiots who are present in large numbers in the legal system, social services and teh intarwebs.
The job did really exist but they quickly found someone they liked but left the job "open" just in case the first person falls thru.
One time I had an interview, seemed to go OK but heard nothing for about two weeks. Perhaps I should have chased them, but I was too busy getting ready for the other gig I went for the day after who basically said "yes" at the end of the interview.
I suspect I was the mousy girl with glasses and the blonde gave him a slap in the face.
Ironically the first one seemed more interesting on the face of it, and if they'd been honest about me being the understudy I might have hung or at least tried to stall the other.
There's plenty of incentive for recruiters, though.
Get the resume of someone who specialises in building interfaces between ERP systems and coffee machines using QT and perl and you get a list of companies that... do all that kind of shit.
You've now got a set of sales leads you can use to try and place other people on your books who DATKOS.
8 out of 10 think nothing of calling back a year later (after not calling about bad news) and asking you "what have you been doing?" because they want to push a new job prospect to you.
Slashdot Mirror
Aren't full-face masks a thing these days? Failing that there's always clingfilm & gaffer tape.
Somebody higher up posted an excellent list of potential problems. https://tech.slashdot.org/comm...
1 down, 8 to go! Yay, interwebs!
On that subject, there's over a dozen teenage boys in there and not a lot of entertainment.
That water's not going to get any clearer any time soon, is it?
Shocking isn't it - the thought that people who are like actual experts on a thing might know a lot more about that thing than people who are experts on other things - or nothing.
They should maybe try a blockchain or something.
Plenty of time to learn. Apparently the waters aren't due to recede till August, and there's not much else to do.
P.S. Am I the only one wondering where they're shitting?
I thought that. Then I realized I've been in a cave precisely twice, neither of them underwater, and decided to shut the fuck up.
Would, say, the government of Iceland have been able to do that *in New Zealand*? No, but it could do it in Iceland.
You're totally missing the point.
Don't think Melania's even letting him in the front door.
For some reason, I'm thinking about Ted Nugent.
FTFY.

So do I, but it's cost again.
[1] bit of a hoarder.
Australian, I think. Yoorpan ones (at least the 2 pin kind) are flippable.
Though in both cases he could have put it in the other socket of the pair...
I'd always wondered why the size of the plug was proportional to the power it draws.
Oh wait, I haven't. Because it isn't.
I wish any of the mobile OSen was good enough to be a fan of, to be honest.
I was expecting Android to be like Linux[1], and I've been rather disappointed.
[1] INb4 the aspies: no it isn't, unless you can't tell the difference between an egg and an omelet.
I just been on the Air Ministry roof, an it pissin' down wit' rain.
There's the dongle tax for starters.

And often it only identifies a particular household at a particular point in time.
It amazes me how many site admins don't know what a dynamic IP is.
Or have it roll over every X number or Y value of transactions.
Because some bugger will manage to either reverse engineer the random number generator or outright hack it.

This is what's called a perverse incentive.
If they're recruiting that many people and they're managing it manually they're doing it wrong.

How long was I asleep?
Whose idea was it, this global legal code thing?
More likely that they're looking for sales leads.
