  • ACAB, of course, but there’s more nosy, racist neighbors out there than police. Back when I worked in residential, we had the cops called on us (black coworker) because we delivered a TV

    2 cop cars rolled up on us as we loaded the broken TV into our company-branded van in our company-branded shirts. Thankfully the truth of the situation was obvious. The woman who called said she saw two black guys climb the 3 story building and break in through the window on the roof deck…but I had the security logs showing I unlocked their door using their home automation controller. Not to mention that my coworker was a short, round guy. The man can barely climb a ladder, let alone scale a building.

    Like I said, they were cool about it but it still wasted half an hour of our day. My coworker said he knew exactly who called…a little old white woman across the street he spotted mean mugging us.
















  • Addicts are one of the most marginalized groups in the world. Because their situation is self-inflicted, very few people will offer them a helping hand. It’s the same with the homeless - the prevailing opinion is that they got themselves into it so they should get themselves out.

    I don’t agree with those opinion but it’s crazy to pretend they aren’t made fun of


  • I think it’s more of an evolution in the way we use computers than a problem. The original Office UI was made during a time of single monitor dominance and now dual monitors is the standard for companies.

    My most-used applications for work at AutoCAD and Excel and it’s very rare I DON’T have them maximized. They both have ribbons but even if they didn’t, I can’t imagine using them in a small window. Really the only program I don’t run full screen is Notepad


  • I have all the stuff I use regularly on the first ribbon. I also run excel with the formula bar 3-lines tall. Common keyboard shortcuts were removed so there’s very little unused clutter

    At work I use a 1920x1200 display and have never once thought “ugh I wish I could see 4 more rows” - but if I did, I’d just collapse the ribbon…
