grabyourmotherskeys,

With each year that passes since the re-telling it gets exponentially more interesting.

grabyourmotherskeys,

That’s just wild. I’m in meetings with slides constantly and never heard of this. We’ll, now I have a new rabbit hole to go down (as in “finding the most ridiculous of these”).

grabyourmotherskeys,

Do… do people really buy add-ons for pp to enhance their slide decks?

Seeking to understand speaker phone use in public

I’m traveling with family this weekend in a touristy place and have been out in public in crowded areas. I am really shocked by the number of people who have loud, personal conversations on the phone in speaker mode. This ranges from walking down the sidewalk, to in line for washrooms, to seated restaurant dining....

grabyourmotherskeys,

Guess what? You are both smarter and more knowledgeable. Have a great day.

grabyourmotherskeys,

How about “shi”…?

grabyourmotherskeys, (edited )

You don’t have go do nuts with the details, I read the same articles. I’m just saying this is in the process of happening and people are denying the reality in general.

Example: lemmy.world/comment/8043602

Example: there’s a person in this thread insisting that Chinese people do not have a way to say “yes”. It’s… weird, to be charitable.

I work with a few people from China. What do you think they will say if I ask them if they have a way to say yes to other people in the language they speak when they call their parents?

grabyourmotherskeys,

A lot can happen in ten years these days. For some reason I always have to state this every time this topic comes up: I never said it was going to be easy. It’s not going to be fast. It is going to happen, though.

grabyourmotherskeys,

You have adequately demonstrated your knowledge. Ten years is not that long. It’s happening. We should prepare for it, not deny the reality which is what most do.

grabyourmotherskeys,

All this to defend your position that billions of people don’t have a way to say “yes”.

grabyourmotherskeys,

Have a great day. You are an intellectual giant who has bested me.

grabyourmotherskeys,

It’s going to turn out that a nation of billions can, surprisingly, figure out how to make chips domestically once it is no longer possible obtain them efficiently from external markets. This might take a few years to ramp up but it will happen and the market will be flooded.

Most people I’ve talked to on forums like this believe it is impossible for various reasons that center around technical competence.

I am no lover of Chinese governmental policies but this attitude is both racist and risky. I am old enough to remember people saying Japam was only good at copying Western inventions, for example. I also remember a few years later when everyone wanted to learn to speak Japanese and The Book of Five Rings was the hot CEO book of the month.

China will figure this out.

grabyourmotherskeys,

This is a very different take from “Chinese people just can’t do this no matter how much time, money, and talent they devote to it” which is what I’m taking about.

grabyourmotherskeys,

You have this correct which I why it is so ridiculous that they not only agreed to hear this but did so in a way that both allows Trump to avoid prosecution and will result in a legal precedent that he can use to stay in office and commit crimes while there. Pretty great for Trump.

I have chronic sleeping problems therefore I love(d) taking naps but waking up afterwards is absolute hell. What should I do? **Edit: I have found a short-term solution**

I am currently struggling heavily with depression. Which impacts my quality of sleep. Sleep now has never been a talent of mine. So I generally make up for it by napping. I used to absolutely love it. Both the initial and the waking up (feeling well rested). But lately the waking up part is getting more and more difficult. It...

grabyourmotherskeys,

I have a sleep disorder. I can no longer nap, have alcohol (at all), caffeine after 9am, and so on.

I also love napping and have napped my entire life when possible until recently.

Since I can’t nap anymore without ruining my sleep I now sit or lay quietly with my eyes closed and just rest. I set an alarm for 5-10 minutes and snooze for a few minutes over and over until I “get up”. I never really fall asleep so (reluctantly) ending this rest period is not that hard.

This doesn’t give you that same rested feeling but I can destress, lower anxiety, and so on. This absolutely has led to me sleeping more deeply at night, getting drowsy before bed, etc.

A little like meditation but mostly just taking a break.

grabyourmotherskeys,

Stock split to make him feel important. I’m guessing, of course. Plus he probably thought this make the company more valuable.

grabyourmotherskeys,

Just do a bit of the inside of a cuff or the underside of a hem.

Back in the day I used to spray my coat with automotive silicone. Doesn’t look great but your not getting wet.

grabyourmotherskeys,

I’ll just divert all my calls and texts to my wife’s phone and have my son handle all my administrative tasks. I’m also refusing to check email before noon and I decline meetings because they are not productive.

Hang on, my wife just told me my boss says I no longer have to work at all now!

He’s a humorist. It’s not supposed to be that funny. Just humourous.

Edit - was thinking of Steve Allen. Time to see the neurologist.
