@LouisIngenthron @freemo @admitsWrongIfProven Personally I don't see why that doesn't replace the interview. An interview at a previous job involved wiping and writing an image to a computer lab. Yes it was rather simple but it was through the network.
Hiring individuals as independent contractors could make it less intimidating. It's not an option everywhere but it looks better than a probationary period on a resume. A contract just doesn't get renewed, it also doesn't imply fault and makes for an easier clean up.
@freemo @LouisIngenthron @admitsWrongIfProven It would be nice to try a secretary out before hiring too but that just sounds sexist and creepy as hell. Unless the genders are swapped, it is not tolerable in modern society.

@freemo @olives The PEN IS mightier than the sword.
All jokes aside, I keep a Zebra F-701 and F-401 with ultra fine black carts. Those are for Mathematics. I keep M-301s for dragging graphite rods against an abrasive surface. A Permanent Marker is a must and I only use the large one to accidentally write on a whiteboard. (Professors think it's magic when they see Expo solvent remove it.)
I also keep a G2 ultra bold black, 1.0mm I believe, that's for Hanzi. Anything other than that pen and I will mess up the strokes. A Fountain Pen is something I love to hate. I have several Cross Pens but I don't like fancy mediocrity, it's a cod piece of a pen. Parker Pens feel a little better in my experience but Zebra has really black ink and the heavier F-701 just glides across paper. It's also not a weapon and the knurled steel grip is the only acceptable grip.
A pen is a tool and every tool has a specific use. If someone doesn't have a preference in pens, perhaps it's because they don't write often.

upstreaming imx258 driver work continues! Its my first attempt at upstreaming anything to the #linux kernel and even submitting patches via a mail list so its been a learning experience for me and a rough one at that but soon the #pinephonepro will be able to use a mainline camera driver and get something useful out of it and will greatly improve #libcamera support since even downstream was missing lots for it.

@thendrix A one in twelve twist is one I can't resist. So ripe it melts insides.

People figuring out a deindustrialized nation can’t even build bridges. Saw a quote for decade+ and $2-5B for replacement of Francis Scott Key Bridge.
Like I was saying “where would they even get the steel?” People aren’t yet asking “can/should they rebuild the bridge?” yet.
@thendrix That feeling when one knows that Singapore would build a better bridge for less cost. Oh wait we have Organized Crime/Unions.
@freemo @LouisIngenthron @admitsWrongIfProven It only seems crazy because it would be actual freedom and jerking it to Regan. Legalize all drugs, full auto, no ATF and abortions available on demand.
If I'm a man and can stand my ground, my woman should be able to stand her ground by having an abortion too. The world doesn't need more people like me and to have to put up with the horror of carrying that is inhumane.
A Driver's License should include motorcycles by default. The DCMA should go away. Religious marriages shouldn't be respected, it was likely coerced. Vaccine mandates shouldn't exist, let people die how they want. Having sex with a patient should be okay, it doesn't get much safer than that.

Yes I am planning on running from presidents.
@thor In fairness the complexity of Jazz increased over time. Modern Jazz is likely a new area of Music Theory. It's like trying to read obfuscated C when reading the music but it doesn't sound like it looks like it would sound.
Perhaps they think in relations and can know what notes to play next when improvising. Perhaps like a scale but only when viewed in the abstract. The mapping and desired feeling are like a scale to them but far more sophisticated.
They could also just be full of it.
@thor It's just part of how a few colonies of religious fanatics got England to go back to their little island.
Europe is socialist so they probably have been artificially selecting the troublemakers for removal from the gene pool. That or every time Germany got angry and Europe required American assistance makes more sense.
Leave the fighting to those who are good at it. Perhaps the US and Germany are forced to fight because Europe can't.
Many modern problems are still traceable back to England. At least they get to see their former trouble makers as a superpower. First we had to pleasure their wives and then we had to fight their wars.
@thor @Furgar Well that's what they are called. They speak too much sometimes and accuse the US of war crimes. The Better Dead than Red, Mutually Assured Destruction and Operation Paperclip US.
They are very good at dying in non threatening environments but they love to take advantage of defenseless people. They have a proud history of doing bad things and also being armed but defenseless.
@freemo Pyrolysized wood impregnated with sodium silicate thoroughly coated with graphite. Electroplate it with different metals so it develops a unique patina. A simple copper coating can be a reddish color so it would be good to coat in enamel. You would have the most unique grips that are arguably wooden.
@thor Have you tried an Ethanol diet? It's cruelty free and should be available with benzene in it.
@thor It's just called being an apex predator.
