You know, there’s no reason we can’t have anti-drone fireworks.

They don’t really even need dangerous amounts of explosives, they just need a strong net to get caught in a prop.

Drones are pretty damn slow if you compare it to a rocket.

It’s the craziest part of quantum physics. “Why is this stuff having the observed behavior?”

Based on all evidence and theory, the answer is that it quite literally just does.

We got Mr. Really Fun At Parties here huh?

Never heard of Gallows Humor eh?

Didn’t Domino’s do a stupid Pizza insurance thing?

I’m so glad he pointed out the compiler optimizing the If statements. A lot of coworkers seem to forget that the compiler is doing a lot of that work for us now, and some of the code becomes unreadable as they try to make it “more efficient.”

Bro, stop, you can’t beat a machine at machine stuff

Is it a multi species pandemic yet? I missed 2020-2021 so bad. I loved not being around people.

The amount of technical correctness in this post is out of this world

Man, Mao’s policies got so many people killed that “only” 3-4m people died of famine.

He’s got an incredible kill count.

This is making my brain hurt

Counter counter point: a great number of dicks have touched a vagina

I’m pretty certain most of my work inevitably ends up being related to a time issue

Ah, well, blessing in disguise then. For a good chunk of time software engineers were in demand. For whatever reason, I can’t remember if it was embedded or application level though.

That’s one thing I appreciate about Lemmy. Without a doubt you are all people of logic.

One of the things that wasn’t too high up on my complaints but I have the opportunity to complain now about: I had a serious plan ready to apply to immigrate to Canada. I’m in Software, I was learning French, financially sound and healthier.

Then my ex wife fucks a dude I don’t know and of course we already have a kid. No more going to Canadia.

Hahaha, like the Ventricular Assist Devices.

They bore a one-inch diameter hole in the heart, suture a BLDC impeller motor (VAD) on, then cut into the aorta or whatever, suture fancy material stuff to a tube that then redirects the blood flow through the motor. And a fancy cable that exits your abdomen and connects to the electronics.

It was the single most disturbing thing I’ve ever had the displeasure of working with. I really wish I didn’t know how it worked.

You know, I sort of guessed where you were going when you mentioned NDAs, and I was still caught off guard.

"Pay you without having to use PTO?’

Ha.

Look, when I found out that Europeans get a thing called "holiday " that isn’t two or three days in a row, I was almost ready to riot.

I believe the test was done off the East Coast of Africa. It was actually recorded on the nuclear detonation detection satellite. It may also have been a joint operation between South Africa and Israel.

The types I have worked with and personally been:

IIRC it was disabilities that resulted in institutionalizing. I mean, sure, your depression could be so bad it makes you suicidal - but the Nazis didn’t exactly have a problem with you killing yourself.

It was people with intellectual disabilities, physical disabilities, and disruptive mental disorders. Down Syndrome, Fragile x, quadriplegics, cystic fibrosis, schizophrenia, severe ASD, etc. Almost always things that have obvious changes to “normal” behavior, intellect, and appearance.

However, I will say the modern day list of disability has grown, and I would strongly suspect that if the Nazis of Germany could get their hands on modner medical records and purge far more things, they would not have hesitated to do so.
