  • It would halve it or worse. ASUS makes a few models with built in internal batteries which work quite well.

    The type that latch onto your existing laptop display are really not great. They put a huge amount of extra force on the hinge where tons of sensitive ribbon cables live and you are severely limited in viewing angle. Not to mention you can’t move the monitor around in a tight work space or disconnect it easily to hit the field.

    A standalone portable monitor is the best solution IMO. The nicer models come with adjustable stands, protective travel cases, and USB-C DP pass through functionality.








  • You think you’re pissed off now, wait til you find out those slackers are making more money than you and will be promoted ahead of you because, well you do such good work, how would they ever find a good replacement?

    This following sentences are something that took me years to fully internalize, thankfully it didn’t take more.

    Nobody on their deathbed ever said “I wish I worked more unpaid overtime”. Nobody grieving at a funeral ever said “I wish I spent more time at work instead of with them”.

    And nobody at your company ever said “I wish I paid you more”.



  • Having engineering controls like those balls is generally a good idea and promotes safety.

    Unfortunately having a safety indicator be completely unpredictable in appearance (like art) at every different airport, or even every gate at the same airport, not as good of an idea.

    But the real answer is that installing art costs more than $0 and 0 seconds, so nobody making the decisions cares.


  • In North Korea, the state can simply send you to labor camps for no reason, where you risk your life fighting fires of making license plates for literal pennies per hour. You must do this because the state does not provide any living essentials such as hygiene items, medical care, or real food.

    And then when your labor camp sentence is done, they just jail you again for no reason as soon as you walk out the door. This is considered normal and the people accept it.




  • Trying not to be an ass with this info:

    A large McDonalds coke is 290 calories and 77 grams of sugar (153% DV). Even a small is 150 calories and 39 grams sugar (77% DV).

    I get it, I don’t like my lifestyle being attacked either and I freely admit I consciously choose some unhealthy options in my life such as having a few drinks a week and eating fatty foods or cheesecakes now and then.

    But please, if you are starting your day by slamming 70 grams of sugar in your face, please reconsider lol. It’s gonna give you diabetes and ain’t no regular American can afford that.

    That doesn’t even take into account what they add to the food itself 😟

    I will never, never get tired of these CHUDdy types self-reporting every time.

    “It has never been shady,” commenting on a post about one of the largest scams of all time lmfao

    Oh yes, it’s just as good as money, it’s a real currency and totally not vapor as long as you act as your own bank and maintain ironclad digital and physical security, never slipping up a single time. Oh and your savings (because this is a currency) are completely uninsured. Totally reasonable asks to make of an average consumer.


  • The funniest part about liberals trying to project and punch left for no reason is how it’s so easy to dismantle.

    The same exact posters who were in tears screaming incessantly about how Biden is our one and only chance and the only person who can beat Trump are now closing ranks and pledging themselves entirely to Kamala.

    Meanwhile, leftist sentiment, aside from the true believer Fedaykin, is generally accepting of the fact that Kamala can at least beat Trump compared to Biden.

    They genuinely cannot understand what the issue with Biden was, and genuinely think leftists are flocking to Trump. Completely detached from reality, there’s no way to describe it other than blue MAGA.

    Genuinely hilarious.



  • I sent 4-8 tailored applications every weekend for over 6 months to find my current role. Background is an accredited Bachelors in Engineering with several years experience for context.

    It’s a marathon, not a sprint - 2 real leads in 5 apps is incredible.

    What you’re asking is how to internalize the reality of living under late stage capitalism. There is no easy answer to be provided here.

    Personally, already being in a shit role helped motivate me to keep building my resume, taking on even more projects, and keep hunting.

    It makes it even funnier when they see this dedicated incredible profitable hard worker turn in their two weeks out of the blue. Last time I did it, two warehouses had to close because the replacement was not up to par and they lost the account lmfao.
