Thu 07:51:42 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Google is still working on the virtual graphics acceleration driver, it's just not on by default.
Thu 07:51:53 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So I override that. So it doesn't fall back to llvmpipe.
Thu 07:52:23 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ That is more stable, but it's a lot slower. And it's not like the accelerated driver for the VM is massively unstable.
Thu 07:52:36 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It's just got a problem here and there with speciic programs in certain cases.
Thu 07:55:08 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I do go mainly to restaurants where you're not expected to tip. I think it's fairly vulgar. They should just charge more and pay everyone a fair wage.
Thu 07:55:59 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I liked those cafeteria style restaurants like MCL where you just grabbed a tray and went down the line and told them what you wanted from what was on the menu that day and then found a seat and cleaned up after yourself.
Thu 07:56:39 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Those are rapidly going away so if I am somewhere that still has an MCL or it's not too far out of the way, we go there.

Thu 07:58:16 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It's not adventurous. Just reasonably priced and good.
Thu 08:00:18 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ At first those "tipping" articles complaining about it kind of pissed me off, because if you go somewhere where you're traditionally expected to, you should. But it pops up in all sorts of other contexts now.

Thu 08:01:29 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But then it just pops up a thing on the terminal demanding a tip, which is awkward since they pay $19 an hour, which is about what Walmart and other places do where you don't and can't tip people.
Thu 08:02:40 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ If a customer at Walmart tips you for helping them out with a huge TV set or something, and you take it, and management finds out, they can fire you.
Thu 08:03:11 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I don't think that's fair. If the customer says "Gee that was a lot of work. Thank you!" and hands you a $10 bill or something that's their decision.
Thu 08:04:19 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It all boils down to free market ideals, right? If the customer decides to hand you ten dollars of their money, which they were not obligated to, that's their call I think.
Thu 08:05:19 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Now, if Walmart has a policy where you can't solicit a tip, that's fine. That reflects on their business.

Thu 08:44:38 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ She knows this.

Thu 08:44:51 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] but i mean, come on
Thu 08:44:56 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] spitting?
Thu 08:44:59 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] what drug was she on?
Thu 08:45:16 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ She's insane.
Thu 08:45:22 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ My father is too, in other ways.
Thu 08:45:30 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They don't even need drugs to act like this.
Thu 08:45:49 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Matt and ISIS probably had a more normal marriage than my parents.
Thu 08:46:08 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Okay, maybe not, but you know what I mean.
Thu 08:47:14 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I don't think he's a Scientologist is he?
Thu 08:49:40 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ My parents were constantly fighting.
Thu 08:49:55 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Any time you got them in the same house or car together they'd start in on each other.
Thu 08:50:14 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I don't even remember what most of it was about because it was never anything important.
Thu 08:50:33 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ He never hit her, but she hit him several times and threatened to claim he was abusing her to the police.
Thu 08:51:23 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But meanwhile, he was confiscating her paychecks and not giving her any of it. He tried to sabotage her so she couldn't go to nursing school. He told her if she didn't already know how to drive when they got married, he never would have taught her to.
Thu 08:51:39 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ He said that he didn't want her to go to nursing school so she wouldn't leave him.
Thu 08:51:58 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ He would turn off her alarm clocks and he told her she was not allowed to study.
Thu 08:52:18 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So she set another one (since he could sleep through ANYTHING) that he didn't know about.
Thu 08:52:27 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Then she'd slip out the door.
Thu 08:53:08 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Most nights he had the TV on so loud in his "study" (full of porn and Scientology literature), that you could hear it booming through the wall into the bedrooms.
Thu 08:53:26 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ He'd stay up until 2-3 AM, get an hour of sleep, then get up for work.
Thu 08:53:35 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Somehow he functioned like this for decades.
Thu 08:53:56 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ On Saturdays and Sundays, he slept until 3-4 PM usually, unless he wanted to do something out of town that day.
Thu 08:54:29 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Until about 1991 he smoked. With his wife and child in the car.
Thu 08:54:41 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ He not only smoked, he refused to roll the windows down, or let you do it.
Thu 08:55:09 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ By the time he was done chain smoking everyone else in the car turned green they were so sick and it looked like rush hour in Beijing in there.
Thu 08:55:56 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ He was not normal, at all. He is completely obsessed with porn and every really weird religion you can think of.
Thu 08:56:44 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ When I got home from school I had two hours to do whatever I wanted until he got home. I put off doing any homework until he got home around 5:10 PM or so, plus or minus 5 minutes.
Thu 08:56:57 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ He didn't care if I was doing homework and never interrupted that.
Thu 08:57:02 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So I saved it for when he was home.
Thu 08:58:02 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ He wasn't usually the one to physically punish me for something, unless he had my mother after him to take the belt to me.
Thu 08:58:10 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Because she didn't feel like doing it herself.
Thu 08:58:26 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But she did hit, slap, scratch, spit, and wash my mouth out with dish soap.
Thu 08:58:40 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] <IsambardPrince> My parents were constantly fighting.
Thu 08:58:47 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] finish him!!
Thu 08:58:55 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] cue MinceR
Thu 08:59:01 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ One time I got paddled at school and they gave me a thing for my parents to sign.
Thu 08:59:16 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I forged my mother's signature on it because I knew she'd tell my dad to belt me too.
Thu 08:59:50 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] <IsambardPrince> But she did hit, slap, scratch, spit, and wash my mouth out with dish soap.
Thu 08:59:59 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] Fairy(tm) smells nice
Thu 09:00:04 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] i wonder what it tastes like
Thu 09:01:00 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It was Dawn original.
Thu 09:01:08 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It doesn't taste good.
Thu 09:01:12 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I can tell you that.
Thu 09:01:45 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ she poured it in my mouth and made me swish it around for a few minutes.
Thu 09:01:51 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Because I said something she didn't like.
Thu 09:03:05 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ schestowitz[TR3], She now thinks she's got a pardon from God for being a really shitty person her whole life.
Thu 09:03:16 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ And as long as she gives the church $10,000 a year she's good.
Thu 09:04:39 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ She could say "Hey, I'm sorry I wasn't there for you. Let me make it up to you by helping you go to school so you can at least not live in poverty for the rest of your life."
Thu 09:05:03 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Instead she just outright hands it to a church full of imbeciles and broken people.
Thu 09:06:21 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ schestowitz[TR3], The hoarder who is throwing the money away that she goes to church with brought in a turkey tetrozzini apparently.
Thu 09:06:41 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Mom said it was dry as hell and the woman gave her the leftovers when nobody at church wanted them and she tossed them out.
Thu 09:06:56 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I said, "Without seeing if your friend's dog wanted any?"
Thu 09:08:11 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I don't know. I fed my dog table food a lot. She lived to be 20.
Thu 09:08:22 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ She liked biscuits and sausage and gravy.
Thu 09:09:20 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I really miss that dog.
Thu 09:09:48 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I don't know. As shitty as my parents are, at least they didn't beat my dog to death in the back yard and cook it, like Mandy's parents did.
Thu 09:09:52 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Dear god.
Thu 09:10:39 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Mandy's parents died in their early 50s, in the early 2000s.
Thu 09:10:48 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The father, especially, deserved it.
Thu 09:12:36 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I wish I was writing the laws. We'd be doing a lot of things differently. We'd be literally crucifying pedos and torturing people to death if they did that to an animal.
Thu 09:12:56 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Most people would basically just get whatever they did, done to them.
Thu 09:13:45 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ You commit arson? Something valuable of yours gets torched. If you don't have anything, you at least go to prison for a long time. You can sit in there and think on if you want to burn anything else.
Thu 09:14:48 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Who the hell beats a dog to death and cooks it?

Thu 15:01:23 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] MCAPS layoffs - Judson’s call 6 weeks ago
Thu 15:01:23 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] We had the internal call talking about the restructure which fair enough seems to be very needed. The MS sales org has more specialist sales than I have ever seen at another tech company.
Thu 15:01:23 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] The org is wildly bloated and many stand in the shadows not contributing. In saying that, this isn’t the ICs fault but whomever dreamed up this structure and org chart seems like someone who never worked at another tech company. You don’t need 15 sellers you need more technical aptitude in the architects and SEs
Thu 15:01:27 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] In any case what has everyone heard internally?
Thu 15:01:29 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] This will be my first layoff round since working at MS and it seems like we were told not many would be affected in our team but redistributed across the customer territory. So instead of having a specialist across multiple states now they will have more products across a smaller territory. That makes a lot of sense.
Thu 15:01:33 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] There still seems to be way too many middle managers whom you never hear from and I’m not sure what they do everyday
