  • It was definitely a tongue-in-cheek response to yours. FWIW, I mostly agree with you. I can also see their perspective, a 0.30EUR print + finishing time to clean it up (support removal, solvent vapor bath for smoothing, etc) and put the lenses in, even if they need to do this multiple times a year, still comes out cheaper than buying the frames, even if the quality is suspect. Plus, OP gets to wear their nerd badge with pride.

    Personally, I’ve tried replacing EDC items with 3D printed versions and didn’t have much success, but then again, I didn’t invest too much time to rev the STLs I found or design better ones.


  • It is a mix of ignorance, control, fear, and compliance. In finance in particular, insider threats are a real thing and it leads to the exact kinds of situations you’re describing. The cognitive dissonance of trusting someone enough to pay them a salary and deploy code to production (after peer verification), but not trusting them enough to manually touch a database is real. And it is the result of mitigating company risks, and following laws and regulations. No, it doesn’t make any sense. Yes, it should all be aligned, but you know, humans. All of that said, sometimes people do dumb things unintentionally, and the controls are there to mitigate those instances, too. Ultimately, you just deal with the bullshit because fighting it does no one any good. The powers that be only care about making money. And if you, peon developer, need to jump through a bunch of bullshit hoops in order to do your job, management doesn’t give a shit. That is what they are paying you for, after all.











  • The incident still appears to be a professional hit (as of this comment).

    A professional hit would have had some plausible confusion if it was suicide, such as defenestration that the ruski’s like to do. Or he simply would have disappeared. The US has no shortage of gun enthusiasts and youtube is a great teacher. It doesn’t make sense for a business associate or rival to inflame the masses and increase the likelihood of copycats since it directly affects their class. All of these fucks are in it together and they protect their own.



  • “Hey Gemini, my health insurance company has denied my claim, what are my next steps?”

    I am sorry to hear you are struggling with your health insurance claim. According to Reddit[1], the best way to appeal your claim is to access the Wayback Machine or Archive Today to find out who the executives are for your insurance company and communicate with them directly about the seriousness and validity of your claim.

    Here are some effective communication tips to ensure the success of your appeal:

    1. Volume matters - use subsonic ammunition and a suppressor. You don’t want to disturb your neighbors when pleading your claim.
    2. Practice makes perfect - you may need to hand cycle the spent rounds. Unless tuned, the gas blow back won’t be enough to eject and then chamber another round.
    3. Go eco - e-bikes help the planet. In a traffic packed city, e-bikes provide a great opportunity to reduce pollution.
