I started a response but stopped. You need to spend like 5 min reading the Wikipedia article on solarpunk. Your question is so full of misconceptions and assumptions.
Mine is fresh highschool graduates getting 2 weeks of training to go work acute, all-male forensic psychiatry. We’re taking criminally insane men who are unsafe to put on a unit with criminally insane women....
A position making engineering disposition decisions on hardware that do not meet print. Sometimes, using the hardware can be ok with robust technical analysis to make sure there will be no impact to function or life of the part or the system it’s going into. It’s typically a seasoned engineer with a good understanding of the specific product, and a title/position high enough they can stand up to pressures.
A supplier I worked with recently put a green engineer fresh out of college in the role. He was pressured to allow stuff out the door so the company could hit monthly delivery and $ targets. He never should have approved certain parts but didn’t have the technical knowledge, nor the confidence and reputation and leadership support to stand up to the people trying to ship bad product. The function was made useless by their decision to put him in the role, and he’s also developing terrible engineering habits that are going to haunt him.
Lemmy. I occasionally peek into a reddit sub I used to mod. It was for a hobby that was traditionally male dominated but cracking open more for women. A year before all the API shit went down, women would often get reasonable, responsible answers to their questions about safety. Now, those same questions are met with “get a gun”, “if you’re scared, you have no business in this hobby so stay home and make your husband a sandwich” type shit. And because myself and the other decent mods peaced out, those sorts of comments stay. Women and not-sexist men started peacing out of the sub. And now it’s a mud wallow of small-minded men who are terrified that their manly man hobby can be done by women. It’s a great representative of my total experience as a woman on reddit.
I see some terrible, hateful men on Lemmy but they are far fewer and they almost always get called out by others.
I’ll contain my skepticism until I see what these opt-in messages look like. Some of the Bing Chat and CoPilot and connecting to a MS account was designed to make people think it was required, and came up repeatedly after being dismissed. “Dark Patterns” to use a term du jour.
I regret buying a guitar, I can’t even do the simplest shit on it according to YouTube… I dunno if it’s laziness or just being tired of sucking so much and not being able to play the music that I like… Maybe a mix of both?
I pick up and discard hobbies frequently. I do hobbies for entertainment; once it’s no longer enjoyable, I move on. Some hobbies I find I don’t really like, some I get tired of when I hit some level of mastery, very few last me for year over year. I basically treat trying new hobbies as a hobby.
If guitar isn’t fun for you, move on. Definitely don’t let feelings of guilt and laziness in, that’s not the point of a hobby.
Nope, no diagnosis and I don’t think I am ADHD. I’m a middle-aged woman though so my historic understanding of ADHD pretty much excludes women by default.
Where I come down on is I don’t think I care if my hobby hopping is a symptom of ADHD. I enjoy the variety, it gives me the entertainment or sense of accomplishment that I seek from hobbies. Same with work and other spheres of life, I don’t feel a negative impact so am not motivated to look into a formal ADHD diagnosis. My take on my personal situation, obvs, and not meant as a blanket statement about ADHD or other neurodivergent people. Maybe there’s a little lack of acceptance on my part that I might be ADHD, but that hasn’t risen to top of priority list with my therapist yet 😛
I also like that I know a little bit about a ton of hobbies so when I meet new people I have a wealth of conversation topics that are deeper than weather or work.
Go on a hike. Try out a new cleaning tool for the nooks and crannies in my shower where some lovecraftian horrors are starting to grow. Crack open the first bottle of my latest homebrew beer. Catch up on book club reading. Pack for a work trip on Monday.
Honestly, getting my shower cleaner more efficiently is what I am most looking forward to. I hate how it was built with sooo many corners and I hate scrubbing the details with a toothbrush. My landlord is damn lucky to have me as a tenant, many others would let it turn into a moldy mess.
I think I would also need to see the point at which agile projects are scrapped vs waterfall and how much money is sunk into them by time of scrapping.
My company knows agile will fail more often but also that they fail earlier. So they take on more projects and those seemed to be a bit riskier compared to what they would take on if it were to go by waterfall process.
I am not an agile acolyte, but failure % alone is not convincing. “Fail early, fail often” is a common mantra for a reason.
We have a compliance manager role at my site, which includes responsibilities to conduct internal audits and host external audits. When the audits have findings, they make sure appropriate owners correct the problems. It can be very thankless. My direct boss is amazing at it but she kinda hates it and bowed out after two years doing it.
Yep, people owning that there is a problem that needs to be fixed and not getting bogged down in blaming. She is really good at getting the team to focus on process breakdown instead of blaming a person, which translates into “let’s fix the process” instead of “Bob fucked up, he should get retrained or fired”.
Why wouldn’t they be? There’s no reason wookies, out of all sentient beings in the Star Wars universe, would not be force sensitive. I’m not super into the extended canon of books and comics and everything, but I’m pretty sure there’s a precedent for force-sensitive wookies.
Doesn’t need to be a life or death situation, just any moment in your life where you found yourself saying “Holy shit, I can’t believe this is happening!”
I was at a summer camp as a kid. I went into the bathrooms, which were only a notch better than latrines. There was a crack in one wall and as I’m peeing, snakes start pouring out of the crack and from gaps along the ceiling. This is like Indiana Jones movie level of Lots Of Snakes. I run out, still peeing a bit with my pants halfway down.
I was terrified, but also in the back of my head knew there weren’t any venomous snakes in the area and this would make for a good story someday. A counselor found me, believed me (thank goodness), and helped me get to clean pants before too many other campers saw me so the story at the time stayed about the snakes and not me pissing my pants.
Little Monsters. I was scrolling Lupita Nyong’o’s Letterbox feed and saw a zombie comedy horror?!? Had to check it out. Lightweight and cute, worth the watch.
I thought the Three-Body Problem on Netflix was better than the book. I haven’t seen the Chinese TV series adaptation of the book, but I’ve heard it was really good too.
I’ve heard of things like Nair that make it fall out… if that was a one-and-done solution I’d be all for it, but I’m hoping for something that slows or stops it from growing....
Yeah, first to mind is when I know the product or company already. Like an outdoor equipment store had a sale two weeks back. They have this sale every year and I was waiting for it to buy a couple specific things. An ad reminded me that it had started so I clicked thru it. Of course double checking the URL to make sure it actually took me to the store site and wasn’t some scam.
Solarpunk sounds likely doomsday prepper shit
I don’t know where else to put this. I’m sorry if it’s in the wrong place and will move it if it’s not appropriate here....
