Comment User Problem (Score 5, Funny) 241

I have a gaming laptop with two USB-A and USB-C ports, and it's a constant struggle to connect all my devices simultaneously without needing a hub. I use the two USB-A ports for my mouse and wireless headset dongles, while a phone charging cable and portable monitor take up the USB-Cs. This setup stresses me out because there's no extra space to connect anything else without losing functionality.

That's entirely why they inventing docking stations.

No, because experience isn't a protected category. Age is, but only in certain cases mostly dealing with existing employees. Youth isn't protected at all:

https://www.eeoc.gov/age-discr...

"The Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) forbids age discrimination against people who are age 40 or older. It does not protect workers under the age of 40, although some states have laws that protect younger workers from age discrimination. It is not illegal for an employer or other covered entity to favor an older worker over a younger one, even if both workers are age 40 or older."

If all you know is a minimal subset of the language, you don't know the language. What you describe may be ok for a toy app you write on your own time and never need to support or put to serious use, but not for anything approaching actual development. What you describe is hacking, not developing.

In 45 years of living and eating at cheap restaurants, I've never had this problem when going to one in the United States. Or any other country where English was the native language. Why? Because they may hire non-english speakers in the back for kitchens, dishwasher, etc they make sure cashiers and waiters speak english, and they talk to the people in back. So it's an utter non-issue. It may have niche usecases in places with large international tourist crowds, but even then you generally need to tell speech recognition the input language for real time translation.

Windows has a weird situation where having more memory can lead to using less of it. If you try to run Windows 10 x64 with 4GB of memory it will run pretty good, but its memory usage is almost maxed out the whole time. It's probably swapping crap in and out constantly, but you don't notice because we all should have an SSD of some sort as the boot drive... this isn't the stone age. But if you have 8GB+, it will end up using most of it for the first 10 or so seconds of booting up, but then drop to ~2.5GB afterward

These assholes charge $80-100 for a single checked bag. Their seats are honestly some of the worst I ever sat on IN ANY CIRCUMSTANCE, distanced so close to the seats surrounding yours that you will have aches and pains for the rest of the day that you flew with them. They are the bottom of the barrel shit hole airline, and people only need to fly with them once to realize they never want to do it again.

They are killing themselves
