That, is a pretty good deal. Better start picking up some MD1200s!

For me, that would have been over 15 years ago. Even my NAS from 2014 was pushing 16T or so.

You know, that got me curious… I went back and found the contract.

#1- There is this questionablly illegal clause in it.

But, yea, absolutely nothing in the contract about this swap-a-roo.

On the plus side, I negotiated to work remotely for a few weeks, due to needing to relocate.

So- I was actually able to work both my current job, and the “new” job without losing time for either job.

So, on the plus side, I didn’t lose anything, and got an extra paycheck for a few days. But, man, that would have been really shitty if I had relocated, and THEN got that notification.

As another interesting note, I discovered the other head-dev was only getting compensated 30-40k a year… for literally managing a world-wide system. He doesn’t work there either now.

Was a contractor for Walmart.

Got hired on as a lead dev, getting compensated 150k/yr.

2nd day, they told me I needed to switch contracts in order to stay on. New contract paid 50k salary… with lots of required OT.

But, it’s OK they said, you get benefits and PTO.

Fuck that.

I built a homemade one. 2.4kwh of capacity.

Should be good for a few decades easily.

Wouldn’t call it cheap. But, it will be around for 15 or 20 years.

Its only a problem when you get the electric bill! (Or the wife finds your ebay receipts)

Love my bidet.

10/10 for squeaky clean buttholes.

I use twitter. So, let me piss on mastadon. I use reddit. So, let me piss on lemmy. /s.

Seriously, stop pissing on alternatives just because they don’t work for you. More choice, is generally a good thing (with the exception of streaming services…)
