I do it on a little table outside my back door. It definitely stinks up the house otherwise. My fryer has a little lid that you can put on it after the oil cools. You can reuse the oil a bit depending on what you’re cooking.

I’m as offended by receiving survey requests for any and everything I buy or pay online. If it weren’t disingenuous I’d be fine with it, but it’s usually the retail marketing version of a push poll. There’s no way that they would get that something is off based on the normalized survey values without reading the non-normalized text box that corporate probably doesn’t care about. Therefore, they get a consistent value of 1, (you suck) to every question. If I had a positive experience I just don’t bother unless some poor bastard went out of their way to help me.

I usually test with a multimeter after carefully exposing the endpoint or whatever I’m working on. I had no idea that NCVTs were that untrustworthy, thanks.

A quality hand truck and a couple furniture dollies come in handy much more often than you might think.

If you’re the DIY type, make sure you buy a non-contact voltage tester pen (‘beepstick’). It beeps when it is in proximity to electricity.

Edit: see the mic_check_one_two comment below. Apparently I’m lucky to not be a crispy critter.

What OS will that tablet be running?

Furthermore, we kind of have rules for accessibility.

I like to go bottom up. If chocolate and coffee are off the menu, I’m not sure this life is worth continuing.

I suppose it has more to do with the opportunity for a significant breach. The healthcare provider’s email system is a big target full of exploits. Fax is also HIPPAHIPAA compliant, email is not.

Need a simple end to end encrypted email solution, and for regular users to understand that solution isn’t Gmail for fax to die. The health and financial sectors are keeping fax alive, and it isn’t completely their fault.

What if you enjoy your work and find value in it; and the meeting is pointless bullshit that just breaks your focus?

Fuji makes some really nice SLRs, and their glass is exceptional. Also, you don’t need to install software if you don’t want to.

For many, a mobile device is their sole computer, and things of importance to them are stored on it.

LibreOffice too for that matter. Kick 'em a few bucks if you can spare it.

I feel like the Adobe marketing is somewhat pointless. Anyone that has been in the target industries for any amount of time already know the deal.

GIMP is not Photoshop. They are not competitors. It’s a difficult transition. I’m not sure we should even bother drawing a comparison.

I’ve used Photoshop since 1992. I know, I’m old. I started using GIMP about four years ago. I recently got to the point where I can function.

Money and momentum is a motherfucker. Adobe has fuck you money. GIMP has volunteers. Those that don’t like their site should volunteer time or money.

Edit: fwiw I like the GIMP site better too.

Absolutely, and thanks for asking. Also, congrats! I’d recommend looking at credit unions (US/Canada) and higher ed. Both are non-profits and good stepping stones. Either can be a career if you don’t want a ‘stepping stone.’ Depending on how altruistic you want to be, you can find either that serve underserved communities. CUs pay better, but are more corporate and demanding. Higher ed doesn’t pay as well, but is more laid back if you can ignore politics, which there is a ridiculous amount of. I worked at a HBCU (US) for a long time, and it was pretty great. Depending on where you are, it’s usually pretty easy to find an open spot at either.

Me too, 2010ish though. I wish I could figure out how to boycott AWS. As an aged developer with a little bit of influence, I’ve steered plenty of clients, employers, and peers away, but I still use the internet. There’s no detaching from that.

Classic Press is a fork of WordPress that leaves out Gutenberg and has all the legacy PHP < 7.4 stuff stripped out. It’s nice.
