Well, they made an offer to John Oliver to become a mod.

Yeah, many users of hardwareswap were not thrilled to hear they’d be moving to Discord.

I needed a lawn mower for my tiny patch of grass so I went with Ryobi. I’ve since bought/been gifted Ryobi for every yard tool I have.

My drills and impact driver are DeWalt. Way better than the shitty Black & Decker drill that I got in a free gift from work.

I thought I was doing okay until we needed to unhook the washer to access the burst AC drain pipe and now cant use it until the water damage is handled. 🙃

Company was bought by a VC group with no experience in the industry. They spent their resources in all the wrong places, leading to alienated employees with no morale. They were also behind on office rental payments.

We had no formal IT or standard laptop hardware or software. One team decided they were all done after their director left. The CEO decided that they were colluding and fired them all at once. Nobody else was cleared for that project’s SCIF, meaning nobody could contact the customer over secure channels. Additionally, their drives were encrypted with personal passwords that were never turned over as the employees had no proper exit process.

Between that and my team slowly leaving due to morale, they lost 2/3 of the few contracts they had, along with the technical expertise responsible for them.

The worst part to me is the people still on Reddit complaining about the blackout because “you can scroll past the ads”, which completely misses the point

The different-but-sameness of a long 7 is really interesting to me as a New York transplant. There are so many cookie cutter shopping centers. Some of them have housing and movie theaters, but they all feel like the same thing in different layouts.

I’ve driven out to Brambleton via Evergreen Mills Rd a few times and while I enjoy how empty it is, the scenery is pretty depressing.
