I like to ask a variety of questions, sometimes silly, serious, and/or strange. Never asking in an attempt to pester or “just asking questions” stuff.
I’m generally curious and/or trying to get a sense of people’s views.
Are the chokers somewhat adjustable to fit different size necks? Do you have any dislike or fear of giraffes? If yes and no, you might look into getting some giraffe dolls that are firm enough to basically wear and display the chokers and ease your selection.
You could even slightly decorate the giraffes to help in sorting them, supposing the wearing of chokers wasn’t enough for your tastes.
Appreciate the thoughtful reply! I can see where you’re coming from in terms of opening TLDs up creating a bunch of issues, even though I do still enjoy the more playful ones despite that.
It’s honestly a little surprising that so many have been made available given the issues it can present, but I think that’s largely a byproduct of approaching the internet less from a rigidly structured perspective and more of a loose informal perspective.
do you think you’d be able to tell if it was instead a massive homelab run by the microorganisms in your house?
Personally, the childish side of me will always get a kick out of .wtf in a website name.
Anywhere it’s generally okay to look/find things
If I just wanted to label it, colored tape. I don’t know if colored masking tape is ideal – my experience has been that masking tape left on a surface for a long time leaves some goo, though Goo Gone might get that off. But I suspect that it’d stay on the thing for a long time.
Yeah, the gooey factor is one of the only reasons I’ve been somewhat iffy on using masking tape for this purpose. However if it holds up to where it doesn’t need replacement, could be a nonfactor all things considering.
Opinions on sites like LinkedIn or similar in your region for work? Do you have a profile set up and maintained as semi-obligatory? Or do you prefer a separate professional site for networking? Both?
Which kinds did you have in mind? Some that occur to me have far too brief interactions (or times to interact) to invite those opportunities.
Sorry. This is why I included the bonus question:
what does it mean to be too online anymore?
This wasn’t included in jest but in recognition that for many now there isn’t any too online, it’s simply the means of socializing, among other things.
Any resources to pick this up that you can share?
Only an existential crisis? What about existential crises?
Anyways. I know you probably wanted a story that was more interesting than depressing, but that’s just one that really stuck with me from that point in my life there. I don’t think that’s a normal experience for a Night Auditor to have, so I wouldn’t take my experience as a reason to dissuade anyone from taking the position, but you asked for a story, and so you got one.
Even a depressing story is interesting in its own way, so I appreciate it all the same! I can see why the experience stuck with you, it’s a rough situation to find oneself in for almost all involved
Any odd stories from that job?
Do you visit here/Reddit for some news alongside other stuff, or more other stuff than news?
If the latter, you can somewhat avoid the rhetoric back & forth by blocking out a lot of the news communities, but then you do run into the general content problem more (especially if you’re also blocking memes).
What is college? Is it employed for middle school or high school? If so then no.
It’s for post-high school education, also referred to as higher education in my area. Generally they’re synonymous with universities in that respect where I’m from, and while I’m sure there may be some slight difference between the two (probably more distinct in other areas), I don’t know what they are exactly.
But as someone who has gone on to do actual research at an academic level, I’d say the essential challenge of the task wasn’t even touched. Which is getting to the bottom of a question or field, exploring the material on said topic and then digesting and synthesising all of that. Some may hit this in undergrad depending on the degree, and it’s tricky work to do well and at an advanced level.
From what I’ve seen, the ideas and techniques required aren’t covered early on at all. Now it may be rather challenging at an early educational level, but I’d bet you it’s possible but undesirable because it’s hard to grade and takes a long time.
Without having gone on to do actual research, but with at least undergrad completed, I’m inclined to agree. Despite having completed undergrad, even it left me wondering a fair amount how much I’d just been a terrible student or how much my education had somehow managed to sort of gloss over or speed over rather critical research skills to develop.
Sure, I knew how to search for info and kind of weigh the sources, as some others have noted, but the more involved work like you describe? Not so much, and I’m fairly confident it was as much to do with the curriculum as it was to do with the limited time each class/course had to work with (plus accounting for the fact you’d also be muddling through multiple other classes/courses), which wouldn’t necessarily even permit for assignments that would have one digging in and really researching thoroughly.
Ooh, I’d never heard of nor seen these before, thanks!
