  • I can’t stand the competitiveness now. Like, I know I suck and I’ll never be good because quick reactions aren’t my jam.

    I still want to play every now and then, but since I play infrequently I really need something with a very simple mechanic. 30 characters to pick from is overwhelming and I can’t learn how to level up and pick a character build during the 10 minute matches and I’m not going to study builds before I play games casually. And I feel bad when I’m trying to learn and I sink the team. Like who wants to be the one that causes a dozen other people to not have fun or get frustrated. Give me counterstrike. You get good guys or bad guys. Then a handful of guns in very specific categories.

    I really like RPGs where I can take my time and learn the game. Where mechanics arent too crazy and where there is only one currency in the game.

    I feel like it’s become too complicated to pick up some games now.

    You’ve got normal gold, then some weird premium gold that you get at a much slower rate. And somehow a third currency that you can only buy.

    There are hundreds of build paths, and somehow within the first 5 levels before you even know the game or whats good you have to make a decision and lock yourself out of half of them.

    Each character has a gimmicky different way to level up or learn moves.

    Then there are mini games, where you have to collect things or others where you now need to level up in a whole different way. And then lock out entire portions of the main game unless you spend a dozen hours playing a mini game that really isn’t that fun.

    But I digress, I really like single player that at this point are pretty easy to get into and start having fun or experience the story right away.

    When a student goes to school, the school becomes in loco parentis and the student doesn’t have protection from school officials. Children, on campus, general do not have protection for free speech, protection from unreasonable searches or seizures, or really any of their rights.

    The school, acting as parents, can restrict their speech, search their bags, and confiscate contraband.

    The school can even waive most of the child’s rights even when dealing with law enforcement until parents arrive.



  • On her computer, why not just use Thunderbird on it? Or even outlook, or whatever she likes. She just needs to pick the software.

    On her phone, or even yours, why the stuff with accessing Thunderbird through vnc. Just add the server to whatever mail app on your phones?

    If you want a web based thing, roundcube or sogo. But Thunderbird is gonna suck the way you are trying to use it.


  • Sure. A lot has rotted away, but much modern furniture is designed with so much MDF and other manufactured wood products that aren’t resilient in the least. Moisture will destroy them, they take gashes super easy, and are soft wood.

    I’d think the furniture our grandparents had would be more likely to have been solid wood.

    That’s not to say there aren’t solid hardwood pieces being made today. But they are extremely expensive and are competing in a space with poor regulation of descriptions and all the flat pack Chinese imported stuff thats literally 10% of the price of good furniture that will last.

    Solid hardwood furniture is a luxury.


  • Fucking tech solutions to a manager problem. The manager should care about the metrics of wait time and client satisfaction.

    If waits are low and satisfaction is high. Then who gives fuck all about what techs do in between calls.

    Metrics like calls per tech or average length of calls could be used to better understand tech efficiency. Or even rings before pickup. A good pbx can help ensure calls are relatively equally spread between techs. This helps keep one tech from over working for another slacking off. You can have utilization goals so that you aren’t under or over staffed (I’m of the opinion that a techs utilization should be roughly 75-80% and they should have downtime in their shifts to prevent burnout.)

    It’s stupid, inhumane, and impossible to expect an employee to track, bill, and work 100% of their shift.
