Applies to macOS as well. These official support forums are such garbage.
Windows: did you run sfc /scannow and chkdsk? (This has never solved a single thing in my entire building PCs life, so since about 1999.)
macOS: did you reset SMC and PRAM? (This is basically a fancy restart and with Apple Silicon devices, it is literally just a restart.)
This is bullshit because it’s not a 1% / 99% split. I know you’ve never served from your comment. How many veterans do you know?
The successes are more common than the failures in my experience. They’re absolutely not “exponentially rarer than the failures.” I work with many successful veterans, all of us are near or above six figure salaries from our civilian jobs, not counting any military benefits. I’m one of those. My wife is an active duty officer. I got out after I did the minimum time to get the benefits I was after, because I like smoking weed and having a beard. I had a plan to pay off my college debt and get experience in the field. I pulled it off, and even got to travel to Japan and live in Italy. I got even more education benefits for reenlisting for a couple years.
Yeah, I know of a few suicides. I know of a few suicides and drug overdoses from civilian life, too. Divorce rates are astronomical on the enlisted side, I’ll give you that.
What fast food job can get you a career and college afterwards? You won’t get decent healthcare, nor room and board, nor an opportunity to travel with a fast food job.
Not every job in the military is infantry. It’s got more risks than a typical civilian job, but it’s absolutely not the 1%/99% split you’re claiming. Most people make it out fine and it sets them up well for life afterwards. That doesn’t mean you’re guaranteed success, though, and some people treat it this way. It is what you make of it.
Here’s a source corroborating my experience with veterans:
“New York’s 9/11-Era Veterans: A Quantitative Study by Sex, Race, and E” by Lawrence Cappello
9/11 era veterans in the New York metropolitan area performed well above their non-veteran counterparts in most socio-economic categories. The data indicate that between 2007 and 2017 employment, income, and educational attainment rates were consistently higher, and poverty rates consistently lower, than those of the metro area’s general population. These trends held relatively firm during the financial crisis of 2008 and as the veteran population continued to grow into the 2010s. In short, there is considerable evidence within this report to affirm that serving in the armed forces continues to have a direct correlation with greater socio-economic success. This correlation is particularly stark among Latinos and non-Hispanic blacks, where the variances between their non-veteran counterparts are prevalent in income, employment, poverty rates, and educational attainment.
There’s a lot of statistics that can be found in this Pew research article too. I believe this sums it up well. Sure doesn’t sound like only 1% have a successful experience.
A large majority of veterans endorse the military as a career choice. Roughly eight-in-ten say they would advise a young person close to them to join the military. This includes large majorities of post-9/11 veterans, combat veterans and those who say they had emotionally traumatic experiences in the military.
It’s only the shitpost community, I always feel like a nerd correcting stuff if it’s here but I can’t help myself.
Yeah, that’s right. Edited.
Deny, Delay, Defend is the title of a book about insurance company tactics written in 2010.
Deny, Defend, Depose is what the shooter had written on the shell casings.
Deny delay defend is what insurance companies say, deny defend depose is what the killer wrote on the bullets. Depose doesn’t make sense if you’re the insurance, they defend as in lawyers.
When you say peer to peer, does this mean every player communicates with every other player, or does one person act as the “server”?
I hope this turns out better than the Intel modem they had in the XS before going back to Qualcomm. One of the reasons I was excited to get the 12PM was because it had a Qualcomm modem, it easily outperformed the Intel one.
I have a toaster oven / convection oven / air fryer combo and it doesn’t suffer from this issue.
Mainly, what I was trying to point out is aside from the grease issue that was pointed out, there’s nothing special about air fryers. Any issue aside from grease buildup would also affect convection ovens, which have existed for a long time with no ill effects noted. It’s just an electric heating element and a fan, they’re not doing anything that special. I don’t think they’re going to be found to be dangerous in the future.
It also won’t surprise me too much if there’s some health hazard with them other than just the buildup of grease.
It’s an electric heating element and a fan, same as a convection oven except it exhausts rather than recirculates the air. Any issues beyond the grease buildup you mention would apply to any electric oven or toaster.
Don’t forget the mods! You didn’t have to download anything, it was all server side. I forgot which mod I played most but you could set up all sorts of sensors, automated turrets, forcefields, etc using models and textures already in the game but repurposed.
Also, the net code was extremely good, it was very playable even on my 33.6k modem.
They’ll do something about it alright, like pushing for further militarization of the police, increased government latitude to spy on civilians, and restrictions of what kinds of weapons we’re permitted to own.
You know how the Army has soldiers, the Navy has sailors, and the Air Force has airmen? The Space Force has “guardians”.
How does one hang a motorcycle on the wall?
If you tell someone that fedi instances are like email providers and that your instance is transfem.social, that creates three expecations in your audience:
1)The main, or possibly only, way to access your fedi account on a desktop is through the transfem.social website.
2)The main, or possibly only, way to access your fedi account on a smartphone is through the transfem.social app. This app is completely separate from the apps that could be used to access a fedi account on another instance.
3)The primary difference between transfem.social and other fedi instances is the UI of the website and app.
Frankly, I don’t think this is that big of a deal. First introduce them to an instance, then once they figure that out, show them the apps and other ways to access that instance.
Holy shit, thanks for the recommendation. I’m laughing my ass off right now.
Shouldn’t it be “everybody: <blank>” then?
Nobody: <blank> means that everyone has some feelings about it.
If it’s Nobody and the second line applying to the same thing then the nobody part is false, because the second bit implies that at least one person feels that way.
I just don’t get it, logically.
I really hate that “no one:” shit, it often doesn’t make any sense to me.
To be clear, it’s not that I’m saying sfc /scannow and chkdsk are altogether worthless, it’s just that they’re reflexively repeated as a solution to seemingly every issue posted on those forums. It’s more so the advice is frequently useless for the given issue, rather than the specific commands themselves.
