Pet me like one of your French girls or else I will take all your food and money.

You can open or replace this fake ceiling square by square as behind it you may find some electrical stuff that sometimes needs to be repaired. It’s also probably cheaper.

It’s kind of the same as the floor in data centers. If you’ve been in one, the floor is a fake floor made of square sort of plastic tiles. Below that you have the cold air that goes into the servers, AC and DC power, fire and water detectors, cables road etc. You need an easy access to those fake floors or ceiling for maintenance.

Oh no what the fork?

I bought it several years ago and it's more than paid for itself over the years.

Same, who takes a monthly subscription when you can have a lifetime license? If there was no lifetime I won’t be using plex because !fucksubscriptions@lemmy.world, but when they offer a one time payment license it is just as any software license.

Well, any software license from before the subscription era.

I work in ATC and I'm a gamer. We do recruit some gamers for their competences that are 2000% beneficial to the job, like 3D space representation, stress resistance, quick eye to hand movement and quick thinking (think fast RTS or MOBA for example).

But honestly I still find it hard to convince management into studying gaming benefits to ATC.

Most of them still have the boomer reaction, aka:

"bUt ThEy'Ll ThInK RaDaR iS a ViDeO GaMe!!! ThEy WoNt TaKe iT SeRiOuSlY"

No it doesn’t change anything for lifetime pass.

Maybe it will in a few years, but not today.

Between 15 to maybe 30h a week.

Working shifts in ATC at 80% so it is always different depending on the roastering office, some weeks can be 4 days of work, other could be 5 days off.

I believe it is officially 28h a week (14 days of 8h a month) but unofficially a working day is around 5 to 6 hours, not 8 (paid pause included, + unlimited sick days + minimum 6 weeks paid vacation. Hooray Europe!)

Exactly, and accident in aviation are never because of one factor but rather multiple of them, and Murphy's law.

Handling an engine flame out is ok. But in reality it might be an engine flame out + icing conditions + OVC008 + non precision approach + windshear on short final.

AI pilot would have quit the seat a long time ago, leaving the self loading flesh bags at the rear alone.

ATC here and the only time we consider an aircraft safe is when it's at the airport. That's why slots exists. As annoying as they can be, better have the aircraft on ground at DEP rather than holding to wait for the thunderstorm to pass.

Maintenance day is when I log into my server once every 3 month because I forgot it (as everything is working fine).

But I just discovered OpenSuse microOS, while looking at the docs for my laptop Thumbleweed, and now I want to try it with no real reasons. Maybe it is just an excuse to buy a new Raspberry pi.

I am convinced there's a class of Americans that just don't read *any* news at all

That’s possible, or just plain dismissing reality.

In the film Civil war, there is a violent, well, Civil war raging across the US and several characters says that their parents are living on a farm in Wisconsin or whatever, purposely ignoring what is happening in the country.

IRL, I’ve seen several American youtubers dismissing reality by saying "it will be finished in 4 years so we’ll just have to wait". Tons of people are saying they’re apolitical so they’ll just endure and wait for the shit show to end.

Also, air traffic controller here with most of my mates being airliners pilots.

We are all tired and alcoholic, it’s even worse among the ground staff at airports.

Good luck on your next holiday 😘

We ally with California, Mexico and Canada then liberate the Gilead Republic (see The Handmaid’s Tale series and Civil War film).
