Yeah it sat in my wallet for a long time and wasn’t really gaining any value. I didn’t have a need for the trade route anymore cuz I just used it once for some exotic spices that I didn’t really care for. Mining wasn’t an option for me because I didn’t have a powerful computer as a broke college kid. So I just kinda checked out.
Still sucks to think about how I could have ended up with a great return, but hindsight is 20/20 and all that.
Jamie Dimon can forever suck my taint. In 2021 he told us, after record breaking profits, that they couldn’t afford raises or bonuses.
After a grueling year of insane productivity. After all the software devs were pushed to work 60-70 hours a week, every single week. My team had to work till 9pm every single Friday for deployments. But yeah, you can’t afford bonuses or even a cost of living raise.
Fuck him
I’ll stick to my Brother laser printer. Bought it during the pandemic and still haven’t been through an entire toner cartridge. Never had an issue printing either.
I got it for work documents that needed signed and mailed and such. And I like to print out flow charts and the like for big projects so I can reference them without having to pull them up digitally.
One of the biggest medical interventions for COVID was intubation. Having experienced unilateral vocal cord paralysis after being intubated for surgery and days after due to complications of the procedure - you really want to avoid it if possible. It took surgery and 18 months for me to speak normally again.
I’ll take feeling crummy for a few days with low risk of actual harm to avoid that happening again.
I think I can say this now because it’s been 10 years. But in one of my old jobs, I set a new windows administrator password for all assets across the organization. Previously it was 8 characters with a known word with an exclamation point added at the end.
I got the approval to set a new password that would be secure but easy to remember for the IT guys that would be using it on a daily basis. They complained about my first two choices, so I said fuck it and changed it to F0rH315ThEKwi$atzHad3rach!
I could remember it just fine. Still do to this day lol. They complained about a 14 character password before and I was tired of trying to get them on board.
As soon as I left for greener pastures, I heard they changed the password to something easy again. Oh well, not my problem anymore.
I had a similar experience. I don’t even remember the sub, but I was banned so I asked why I was banned. Site banned for mod harassment for asking a question. Sucks for them cuz they banned a bunch of bot accounts that I ran as well. This was pre API changes so they still provided value.
A few mods reached out to ask if they could have the bot code but I was like, fuck Reddit lol.
I mean, I’m a dev who got laid off almost a year ago and still can’t find anything. I know tons of others who are in similar positions. So…
