Usually they are salaried employees at that scale.
It does make some sense at that scale.
If you’re managing 800 freezers, not only would you want statistics like that to catch any malfunctions, you might want to be able to control temperature or defrost cycles just for efficiency reasons.
They should be properly secure though. Infrastructure like that should only be accessible over a VPN while using a company managed computer.
Guaranteed there was someone in IT that flagged this as a potential risk and was told it would be too expensive to correct. Now there will be a push for inproved security for a couple months before middle managers start seeing all this unnecessary spending eating into their bonuses.
What counts as a computer?
It’d be pretty cool if I could get the Antikythera mechanism to run Vista
Powdered milk sucks for drinking, but it’s a phenomenal addition to baked goods
American trying to explain how to make coffee: “Imagine a gun”
I was listening to a podcast the other day that was talking about this.
Theoretically, a pumpkin could grow to be about 20,000 pounds before it couldn’t exist under its own gravity.
Yeah, it’s basically a Cheeto with no flavoring
Good craftsmen don’t blame bad tools because they don’t use bad tools. They have learned the craft well enough to know what makes a good tool and will get that one and properly maintain it.
I think I remember seeing a PETA post years ago that suggested “feed two birds with one scone”
When you need to be absolutely sure of something, “looks like” is not sufficient evidence.
Honestly, Pulp Fiction probably is overrated.
Like, it’s a good movie, a great movie even. But even when it’s compared to only movies released in the same year, it’s barely top 5.
This is the same year as Forest Gump, Shawshank Redemption, The Lion King, and The Professional
This is just another thing on the list of thigs that I dont like business doing.
Slop advertising itself is not enough to stop me supporting local business, but it is a mark against them should competition ever arrive.
It’s a complicated topic for me, I think.
With console games, no. I will only ever buy a physical version because taking the game out of the case and putting it into the machine is a quintessential part of the experience. It’s the same reason why I like buying music on vinyl. There is a whole little ritual involved that makes it so much more enjoyable.
I’ve somehow deluded myself when it comes to PC games though. Digital distribution is just so fucking convenient. Putting a CD/Diskette in the machine and then running an installer always felt more like a chore than part of the whole experience.
I like the middle ground that GOG is trying to foster, (we’ll host these as long as possible, but we welcome you to download and save them forever) but realistically, I only play through most games once, and sometimes it takes me months or years to finish. So for me, an $80 rental with a multi-year lease time is something I would personally consider.
If a bad person supports a good cause, that doesn’t make the cause bad.
With actors, you can almost always assume they’re closer to the middle of the Kinsey scale. Is it different for actresses?
Just wait until you start seeing athletes.
Basically every Hockey player looks like a child now.
But those are clearly wasps
This is interesting, but what I want to know is what shape they would be if water droplets were not round.
Like, if they were cuboid or pyramidal instead, would that change the shape of the rainbow?
Potato egg and cheese taco sounds great actually. Almost like a mini breakfast burrito
