see this? this is why i no longer buy televisions.
i buy monitors. or at least that's what I ask for when i got to the store
What are you here for today?
A 52 inch 4k Monitor.
A 52 in television?
No, a monitor. No TV tuner, no internet connectivity. Just a 52 inch display, okay speakers built in, and power input and an HDMI jack. That's it. A 52 inch Monitor
well there's this samsung...
Does it have anything "smart" or "internet enabled" in it?
yyyyyesssssss...
Not interested. What else do you have?
Uhh.... well if you're certain of the size you want...
I am. I could do a 48 or even a 56, but it's got to be in that range.
In that case I think we have reached, what my manager insists on referring to as an "Imp Ass".... Sorry.
Me too.... For alas I will have to take my suspiciously large stack of cash elsewhere. -
RE: Recruiters and Recruitment WTFs and annoyances
:recruiter: -Calls on work phone line-
- is at lunch and bored. decides to have fun with unknown caller.-
Speak.
:recruiter: Hi! I'm calling you about an exciting opportunity for Lead application developers in your area offering a salary of 45,000$
(so, basically minimum wage.... and they dropped that number without even confirming who I am....)
That sounds great! That's a lot more than i make per month now! Where's the job?
:recruiter: The company exists in the Greater Portland Area and is super competitive in its compensation package.
(doing some quick math)For Five hundred and Forty thousand a year i would say so!
:recruiter: So you're interested in the job?
The number has my attention (ignoring for the moment i've just arbitrarily multiplied the salary by 12 and the recruiter hasn't twigged or if they have they're staying on script.)
:recruiter: So, that's a yes?
For now, sure. what's the requirements? I assume for a price like that not just anyone can join?
:recruiter: -rattles off list of entry level requirements, consistent with being underpaid for a junior C# developer position-
Wow. those are some steep requirements, but i think I tick enough boxes to qualify.
:recruiter: Excellent, so I can send your information and salary requirements to the company?
Sure! that's 540,000 a year, and i'm sure you have my contact info in file (that you've never actually confirmed with me)
:recruiter: I sure do Donald T. We'll get that sent over and you should hear from the company for an interview shortly.
I look forward to it!so, either i'm getting a new job for between 4x and 6x my current salary, or Donald T is, or one or both of us is going to get laughed out of the recruiters office..... any of these outcomes is acceptable.

tatus: Wait, when did it become impossible to install different versions of the .NET framework? I have several folders with different versions of the BCL assemblies.
Major versions can be installed in parallel, minor versions supersede each other.

@Atazhaia said in The Official Status Thread:
So it's no longer allowed to fire someone just for being gay and/or trans in the US.
One thing that confuses me: I thought firing without specifying a reason was legal over there?
generally yes, unless the firing is actually for a protected discrimination reason thingy.
and a suit can be brought that the firing was for discrimination even if a reason is given that says it isn't that. so it's a damn good idea to always fire for cause and document the shit out of the procedure so if a discrimination suit is filed you have an open&shut defense
of course if people as a whole stopped being racist bigoted assholes.... this wouldn't be an issue in the first place... but apparently being racist sexist misogynistic homo/transphobic assholes is the new hip thing among a certain population group.
Not to name any names or anything.

it ain't letting me in
I got in fine, but with the possibility of spawners causing crashes (especially with one known one being fairly close to my base) I didn't stay in.
yeah i notided you log in.... so i did, it spawmed me still flying not on the ground where i was first crash..... then before i could get to ground it crashed again....
so there's probably a spawner in the chunk i'm currently spawned in?
