I had an office with a few of these canvas triangles high up above us below a bunch of high windows and it was beautiful! The way the window shadows hit the canvas and the way they shaded each other made beautiful diffused light and interesting shadow shapes.
If somebody had put vegetation on them the whole experience would’ve been worse.

This is totally the guy I want in charge of a manned mission to Mars. “Sorry Mars team, stock prices are down, gotta cut costs to improve our market position, so I’m letting you all go. I’m sending security robots to guard the rest of my land so don’t stray far from the tiny area you’re renting from me.”

I see a lot of people complaining about the term “quiet quitting.” In this thread there are people saying that that’s exactly what they want in a job, that that’s what they’ve been doing since before the term existed, etc…
I’m curious what other succinct terms people would use to describe the act of doing the bare minimum and not engaging beyond what is required and asked for.
I’m asking because I also dislike the term “quiet quitting”, and I know such an activity has existed forever. At the same time it does seem useful because I can’t think of a succinct way to describe what it explicitly describes. In the past it seems like such a behavior was implicit, but with modern “engagement” and “hustle” and “110%” work culture, it seems like we need a more explicit term.
So, is there another term we can use that people don’t hate as much?

My exact experience yesterday after putting together an ebike. Leftovers were a variety of screws, and some mechanical doodad that was not mentioned anywhere and looked like it needed to be installed somewhere to not fall apart.

Personally I would have no problem interrupting them with “I’m sorry, can we talk about something else?” and if they continued to ramble I would just ignore them or respond with obviously disinterested comments like “no way”, “you don’t say”, “that’s crazy”, etc…
Honestly though, I’d be interested to hear what girls would say to this because they probably deal with this a lot.
This is the Unix philosophy: Write programs that do one thing and do it well. Write programs to work together. Write programs to handle text streams, because that is a universal interface.

DOS was ok, but when I found Linux with its cli multiprocessing, &, bg, fg, jobs, and alt-f#, my head exploded and I thought about all the time I could have saved in my years of using DOS with its single process terminal interface.
