When other men post about that, all I hear is a desperate cry for help.

I understand their struggles because I lived through them. However, after I got better at OLD, I understand how it gets tiring hearing about it after a while, specially from people who are clearly on a bad path. For example, treating like a market (which I don't consider a good approach) but not accepting their current value is not enough for creating any demand. And nowadays, with the gym culture being mainstream, it's getting even harder if you don't even try to be more "valuable".

Do you know anything about the Nazis, other than that they are bad?

They used Fraktur extensively before 1941 and it's closely associated with Nazi imagery. This is all explained in that link I posted.

I prefer to think of Lie groups, but it's rife in the Nazi propaganda of the 30s, official documents etc.

People perform to your metrics. If you don’t want people to be one trick ponies, you’d better have more than one metric.

Lol you’re assuming anyone in the management chain believes there’s any nuance or thought to the task beyond the superficial. I can assure you that lots of managers lack the humility to appreciate how little they might actually know.

It depends on which administration you support if the redactions have been completed in good faith.

This article reminds me so much of so many hardware providers I deal with at work who want to put equipment on-site and then spend the next year not understanding that our customers manage their own firewall. No, you can’t just add a new protocol or completely change where your stuff is deployed because then our support team has to contact hundreds of customers about thousands of sites.

In other words it’s the telescreen from 1984.

If its on the wheel hub you’re going to need more than a dremel to do that, and you’re going to need something that breaks less than a flat head. There’s a reason they don’t make flat heads for impact drivers.

Some of us turned 40 this year.

The youngest Millennials turned 30 this year; the oldest 45.

Detroit used to suck, but it seems like enough millenials took that deal that it’s way better than ten years ago.

Not everyone has the means to call in a “professional” and pay the fully loaded price without trying to trim some fat. It sounds to me like they were taking the fat out of the foundation job by mining out a space for the repair. What he’s describing is probably between the mid five figures and the low six figures to get a professional to do. I don’t know many people who could come up with the down payment for a construction loan on that.

I also took on a remodel under similar conditions and I think that the decision they undertook was likely very reasonable at the time. The outcome, in retrospect, would be obvious as well. But sometimes you have to grit your teeth and finish something.
