Yeah IT is intensely customer focused, either via direct support or project planning and coordination with execs/etc at the higher levels.

You have to have deeply arcane technical knowledge, but also at least passable social skills and patience to do the work well.

I guess the last question is if it’s intentional or incidental?

Have you tried placing a speaker next to the window and playing unmuffled engine noise at him whenever hes out there?

He probably wont enjoy it played back to him non stop, especially if it makes it harder to work on his actual engines.

Snails are good, too. Creamy and tender, reminded me of scallops.

They were doused in butter/garlic, so that may have been part of the reason, but still

The olsen twins were also caught in the same nonsense.

That was extra fucked up, as they had been public figures since they were toddlers.

The scale is different. Dynamics is mainly an ERP like Sage or SAP. It’s something you could coordinate the movement of millions of goods through, and tens of thousands of people.

Access is a database with a GUI that you can slap more GUIs onto at your own peril. Dynamics is an iteration of " Microsoft Great plains" that was turned into an unholy monstrosity to compete with Oracle/IBM, etc

You will spend millions of dollars deploying it. It will both be bewildering too much and not enough.

Drastically different products. Its basically a full ERP with a full CRM build in. It massively outsizes Access, a DB/DBMS, in both complexity and abject stupidity.

It’s a software suite for managing company finances, but can do way, way more if you keep slapping bullshit on it. You can run a retail operation through it, for example.

It’s a big, irritating “do anything financial for any type of business” app, and like most “all in one” tools is horribly over and under designed.

Working with it is brittle, stupid, complicated and expensive.

I’m speaking specifically about how many Americans have the legal ability to buy these weapons. The cost involved is why I added the “if they have the money” line.

It’s got a point, but capitalists will also gladly sell you every tool you need to overthrow them as long as you have the money for it.

Nearly 150 million adults in the USA can go buy a semi auto rifle right now, even if their plan is to point it at Colt and Smith and Wesson.

Metalheads: look like the bottom, act like the top

Because its backend is SharePoint.

homonyms are words that sound the same but have different meanings. Their/there/they’re are classic examples.

Barnes and Noble is on a hard upswing recently, and are expanding., mainly by allowing local stores to stock what sells in their areas.

Still, buy from bookshop.org if you can. Its a coalition of thousands of small bookshops where the vast majority of profits from purchases flow right back to them instead of megacorps.

Damn straight. Even if you didn’t before joining Lemmy, c/tenforward is so good you’re going to start.

Shes had sharp quips about Dave over the years, and the timelines work out.

She dated Ryan Reynolds for years too. She clealry has a thing for comedians.

Cant Kobayashi maru the trolley problem. There is no choice but the choices presented.

Tourists have to buy day passes or a discovery pass in Washington. Day passes are $11.50/day. They are already in general being charged way more than people that go to the parks year round with the $35 annual pass. This is comparable, but actually higher, than what hawaii charges tourists.

Hawaii’s parks are visited way more by tourists than Washingtons parks. You would have to make the tourist pass something ridiculous to cover the shortfall, which would price out tourists, meaning no income for the park, meaning parks destroyed by Washingtonians.

$35/yr is a reasonable resident cost. $11/day is a reasonable tourist cost. Seems like Washington has made reasonable choices for this that reflect the states needs.

I’d also prefer this to be rolled into an income tax, but Washington doesn’t have one. The state only has a regressive sales taxes, one that has an outsized impact on our poorest citizens.

By making this a “fee for use,” it at least minimizes the damage to the poor who can’t access the parks at all.

Ha, sense of entitlement eh? That’s a quick pivot away from your weak point about “bikes are dangerous because of rare mountain lion attacks” i guess. Now trying to call me abelist and classist as a random jab? Sure thing, pal.

The common is the commons and has to be paid for. Without funding the commons falls to “the tragedy of the commons,” where the common good is destroyed by overuse and neglect. Washington has opted to protect the parks with a minimal, once a year fee to the people doing the most damage to the commons, drivers, that you are complaining about.

So you think the people using a common good and doing the most damage to it should not pay for that use? Why should the poor people without cars, the people who aren’t able to bike or drive, pay for your visit?
