Reasons being a designer for a university is maddening #3942:
Everyone thinks an "info sheet" is an engaging piece of content that will drive participation in their program
So during orientation the plan is to hand freshmen folders full of "info sheets" so they're "aware" of your programs and the benefits and they can "make an informed decision", and in theory this is supposed to boost program attendance
Do my fellow sales and marketing professionals see what's wrong with this concept?
They're aware only that this is something they should do
Which is what haunts them as they proceed to not do it, because your program is now just one of a hundred "info sheets" they were told would be really valuable on their first day, and in their desperation to figure out what's really important they concluded none of it was important
Most of you went to school here and have worked here a long time, you already know what they're going to do with your "info sheet"
yes, disrespecting the experienced marketer and micromanaging your content to your own demise is not really all that crazy: it's normal levels of crazy
What's over the top is watching shit not work and deciding it should stay that way: that you would like to contribute more broken shit and call it a day
You do not need to condemn Hamas to condemn Israel. Israel's actions against the Palestinian people are crimes regardless. It is not antisemitism to hold Israel accountable for Israel's actions
Did Hamas also do something condemnable? Certainly, but don't change the subject.
Lookin at you Daniel Kurtzer of Haaretz, who wants to know why Palestinians won't condemn US student protestors who support Hamas, as if a couple extreme quote pulls can compare to a literal active genocide
Even if we take up the (deliberately false, propagandistic, purposefully twisted) assumption that phrases like "palestine will be free" are intended to be calls for the genocide of Jews,
Such rhetoric in that capacity still would not justify literal genocide as a response: genocide is not in any way a form of self-defense, justice, or accountability
Be very skeptical of recommendations that you build your process around stakeholders contributing work
This generally signals that there was insufficient buy-in to start the process and the extra time and effort required from your stakeholders doesn't earn you a lot of gratitude like it's supposed to
They'd rather have been included in the decision to build or not to build something, than be asked to help build something they might not even want
I'm just saying, while a #CarringtonEvent during this #solarmaximum would likely destroy a lot of our electrical infrastructure, it would also basically eliminate light pollution in affected urban centers while drastically reducing our collective carbon emissions in the process.
an essential part of the history and ideology of the Soviet Union is that the partisan dictatorship tasked itself with acting in order to bring about Communism
Like, it's not that Stalin was viewed by anyone as a good guy revolutionary, it's that the negative outcomes were viewed as the byproduct of technical-political solutions intended to eventually create Communism
So when you point to that stuff like "Communism is bad" what you're really observing is "they never had it"
Time to build: about 45 mins (not including soldering the power supply)
Materials:
(4) $5 Arctic P12 fans
(2) $10 10x20x1 1200D filtrete MERV-11 filters
(2) $7 20x20x1 1500 MERV-12 filtrete filters (pack of 12 off ebay)
duct tape
zip ties
cardboard
12V power supply (free because I soldered a random old adapter, but normally $10 plus $3 or so for a splitter. Or get the fans with built-in splitters)
Total: approx $55, next one will cost about $70.
Roughly 225cfm and extremely quiet. #CRBox
@Andres4NY@enobacon "It spends more time on because we can tolerate it on" is a great observation
You've probably already tinkered with this but I would think the filters used would have a significant impact on outcomes, too: you might see tradeoffs like more CFM with lower air quality
