My two cents.

If it's not so terrible that you dread every day, keep it and the paycheck while you look for another job. As soon as you have a new job lined up, quit.

You seem concerned about making it easy on them, maybe help them out a few weeks to soften the blow. Don't bother, you're taking up their time and training resources that they could be spending on the next person who is going to replace you.

Be professional in how you quit, but don't be a doormat. Remember this company could lay you off at any moment and the "best" company will only be professional. They aren't your friends. Match that energy.

Meta displayed a chart showing that the “percent of time spent viewing content posted by ‘friends’ ” has declined in the past two years, from twenty-two per cent to seventeen per cent on Facebook, and from eleven per cent to seven per cent on Instagram.

Yeah. By their design. If they would allow user control over what shows up in their feed, mine would prioritize friends' content. I'm not the one choosing to turn my feed jnto AI slop based on my alleged interest in the topic.

Knot tying. Most half-hitches tied in 60 seconds or fastest time to tie all six of the "scout knots".

I assume 99% don't know them and I am reasonably quick at them, I could hold the record for at least a day or two.

I like the Aeropress. Simple and versatile.

There was a threat of a Mattel-verse after Barbie did so well last year. Is that still happening or was it another "millennials/Zs are RuIniNG tHe FiLm InDuStRy" scare?

I take a break from watching movies and read/audiobook or something else instead.

Recently, it's been listening to audiobooks while sharpening all my kitchen knives.

Dude, one of the stated objectives of Artemis 3 is to be the first to land a woman and a person of color on the moon. That isn't happening with Trump in office. Mark me, he'll cancel it someday to make big headlines and to draw attention away from something even more insidious. Feckless career politicians and media personalities will give him a complete pass because the mission is behind schedule and over budget, without pressing on why that is or how Trump/DOGE have made it exponentially worse.

Homework assignment for a film class: design this vignette in the style of various directors, from Cronenburg body horror to Wes Anderson grief-filled comedy and color palette.

Pretty sure it was millipedes. Lots of little legs that go down below the body, versus fewer legs that stick out to the side. And they smelled when squished.

I acclimate to to the heat. I've lived in the South with no AC at all; 80F with humidity control is cushy by comparison.

Summer: open windows until heat and/or humidity causes concern for my electronics.

Winter Day: 68F Winter Night: 58F

Why, thank you. Your comment is worth more than all the upvotes.

 

I'm using Boost for Lemmy on Android and when others post spoiler tags, I still see the text that should be hidden until tapped. Being able to see through spoiler tags is keeping me from engaging as readily with spoiler-filled communities.

Is there any adjustments I can do to fix it or is it something that can only be done at app or instance or Lemmy as a whole level? TY.

 

Also New York and Missouri

Anyone with an Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield plan will soon have to pay out of pocket for anesthesia if a surgery or procedure goes longer than expected, according to the American Society of Anesthesiologists.

The health insurance provider said they will no longer pay for anesthesia care if a surgery or procedure goes beyond a specific time limit. This will apply to patients in Connecticut, New York and Missouri.

The American Society of Anesthesiologists said Anthem can pre-determine the time allowed for anesthesia, and if an anesthesiologist submits a bill where the actual time of care is longer than Anthem's limit, the company will deny paying for it.

Inspired by a post since deleted, I feel bad for probably coming off judgemental about the poster's taste in the movie that drove him to consider sailing.

The earliest desired media I can remember that drove me to figure out sailing was DC Talk, a Christian rock band. Pop music was not allowed in my house, so a Christian group was tantalizing and scandalous to a rebellious, young Vanth. Things escalated from there.
