Agreed, what little luck I’ve had has fallen through and I very specifically felt that it was because they were looking for somebody who was younger and less experienced than I am at least in this one instance.

There is a big difference between mentoring and dealing with a 4 year difference in education and maturity.

My problem with what you’re saying is then the expectation becomes that I’m going to give you the education that I paid and took the time for, I’m not getting paid to be your professor and since I’m the senior that we’re not meeting our deadlines falls on me not you. And I’m not talking about just programming knowledge, a CS degree is far more than programming, one of my classes was just how to talk to users and understand what their needs are through interviewing and observing. And I say this is somebody who also dropped out but then went back later and finished my degree.

I bet there are at least dozens of us on Lemmy.

I couldn’t believe it when they actually hired somebody at a job I used to work at, to work with three of us who all had CS degrees, who had been through six weeks of a Vo-tech program after recently graduating high school. And the higher-ups actually expected this person to be able to work on the stack we were using at the same level we did.

I have 15 years of experience and have been unemployed for 18 months, it’s not just juniors who can’t find a job right now.

Finally, an appropriate use of the word slam in a headline.

1000 hours is what one person working full-time works in six months… So that’s a really unimpressive number given they are basically saying they let 10 people look at it for a couple weeks before letting millions of people use it.

You didn’t answer my question. It doesn’t matter how long you have it that’s still more expensive than it used to be unless you can get your hauling done in less time than it takes to watch The Lion King. I’m not even sure what you’re trying to argue at this point.

How is $150 for a day less than $30 + (60miles x .50¢ a mile)??? You would need to go 240 miles for that to be more which even in my state is further than the next nearest Home Depot.

Damn, it’s been a minute since I looked into it but that’s a lot more than it used to be and even furthers the point.

IIRC there are an estimated roughly 1 Billion different allele combinations that deal with appearance so hypothetically you should have 6-8 doppelgängers somewhere in the world.

I had no idea what Pokémon was in 1998, but for some reason the dude at Walmart or wherever convinced my mom to buy Pokémon Blue with my atomic purple GameBoy Color for Christmas and the rest is history.

I can’t say I have heard of Menards but they sound the same as Home Depot, or worse maybe since Home Depot charges for the whole day last I checked.

If you live right next-door to the Home Depot then sure, if you live in a town like the one I grew up in and it has no Lowe’s or Home Depot or other car rental place even though it has 16,000 people and a college in it then no not at all.

Home Depot charges 29.99+ a charge per mile. Otherwise I was going to agree with you.

Luckily we don’t live in a world yet where capital can make those drones without labor. Until we do they will still need the populace as a whole.

I remember when I had to leave my GameBoy in the car…

As a Native American I regret to inform you that

This was obviously not a military target and was designed to cause mass civilian casualties and death.

is entirely typical of the US government.
