  • First hand experience in CA, the training is pretty minimal and you’re basically thrown into the deep end. It’s like reading about driving and then your first driving experience is the Indy 500.

    Most people you interact with are belligerent (cus 99% of the time you’re not there to help them) or mentally off (yay for the lack of societal safety nets) and it’s drilled into you that every encounter could be deadly

    I think the training is crap because of historical reasons initially, but now because it’s a political machine and there’s no reason for those in power to want to change it. They’re seeing the results they want to see, otherwise things would’ve changed by now.







  • Ackchyually Kevin got tired of living in the caves and recruited Bob and Stuart to help him find a villain to serve under which turned out to be Scarlet Overkill. She was crazy and the minions then stumbled upon Gru near the end.

    The yeti thing happened while the rest of the minions stayed behind in the caves.

    …I watched both minions movies on a long plane flight recently. They were surprisingly decent!







  • Just yesterday I watched a teenager biking the wrong way on a 40mph road in the bike lane. They must’ve just learned how to ride because they were wobbling and swerving so far out of the lane that I was worried they’d smash into oncoming traffic.

    Luckily it was a 4 lane road so cars could move over, but yeeeesh the kid had a death wish.



  • Hell if I know, I recall some discussion involving grub no-splash but maybe I’m conflating the forum posts I read. The main idea is that some process is running and preventing the graceful shutdown but I haven’t read the posts in a while.

    I do find it odd this only happened after a reinstall where grub is realistically the only change (shifting the install drive + boot options, deleting windows)

    I know I gotta do some digging if I want to fix it but I’ve got other fish I’d rather fry
