Communication can be an important part of one's job and communication encompasses more than just being able to speak to someone, but also being able to tailor your speech to your audience.

If a manager feels that your vocabulary can hinder how much a client or customer will be able to understand than it is reasonable to ask them to tone it down a bit in certain situations. In other where you are communicating with colleagues in adjacent industries it would probably be a boon to have someone sound super smart and knowledgeable and then you want them to tone it up. It's situational and can be a positive or a negative but the employee needs to be able to recognize the situation they are in and adjust accordingly.

I have a coworker right now where we have this issue. He's a very knowledgable person but also a little arrogant and always wants to sound like the smartest person in the room, but when you are explaining stuff to a random person on the street you don't want him to be blasting off technical jargon and Latin names for shit as it doesn't help the person understand anything and doesn't encourage increased dialogue.

Make a probe with a giant fuel tank and engine land on the asteroid then just fire away to push it slightly off target so it misses the planet. Don't need to destroy just alter the trajectory a tiny bit.

Probably so more people are forced to charge at Tesla stations and pump money to Musk.

As long as you are able to clap the plane probably landed okay

People calling for the culling of all pit bulls would be hypocritical if they don't also call for the culling of all German Shepherds. It's a difference in attack rate of 21% for pit bulls and 18% for German shepherds so pretty close in "danger" (https://www.forbes.com/advisor/legal/dog-attack-statistics-breed/)

I doubt they would though as I believe most just have a bias against pitties.

Men have to learn that anger is also an emotion❤️

My comment had nothing to do with Taiwan, just the quote that sunzu2 said about how US construction actually works.

Because not enough people are selling.

If people / companies don't believe the stocks will lose value they won't sell. If they don't sell they won't lose value.

You saying things like OSHA and fall arrest harnesses and PPE don't affect construction speed in the US at all?

Not sure if audiobooks are blasphemy here 🙃

Not sure why it doesn't show hours before December. Total amount listened is 5 months 18 days.

Although it is skewed because I fall asleep listening and often forget to set a timer.

I'm not sure it would truly be waste free though if it separates everything into its base elements.

Things like wood are useful because they are made of molecules that end up as a useful material. Its base elements are much less useful.

You could use the hydrogen and oxygen but you would probably end up with a lot of extra carbon that no one on the market would need and then have to dispose of it somehow.

 
 
 

My PC constantly freezes if I'm not playing a game or have a game running.

✅ If I'm playing a game, it's fine.

✅ If I have a game running in the background while doing other stuff, it's fine.

❌ If I leave my PC while playing a game and the lock screen pops up, it will freeze.

❌ If I do anything other than gaming, such as browsing the web or digital art, PC will freeze.

❌ If PC goes to sleep overnight, it will freeze.

The frozen PC will typically show no error code and display will show "no input" until I hard reset.

If I hard reset, it often won't successfully turn back on unless I move the mouse while it's resetting, otherwise it will freeze again on the windows loading screen.

Sometimes I will actually get a blue screen with the error code of DPC_Watchdog_Error or something like that.

Anyone know where I should look first to try and fix this? It's been happening for weeks now and it's driving me crazy. I can't figure it out.

 

Just bought a ROG STRIX 850w PSU and it came with this monstrosity of a cable that I've never seen before.

The two ends are entwined between eachother in a way that you can't un-entangle without popping an end piece off

Is this an actual real cable design or is it mis-manufactured? It offends my sensibilities.

What companies will you never give another dollar to?

What happened that put them on your blacklist?

 

Just trying to check "unread messages" despite no notifications indicating there are some, just to refresh the inbox and make sure there's nothing in limbo before notifications appear (not sure how the technicalities work).

If there are no new messages the app crashes. Can make it crash multiple times in a row. Works fine if there is a notification and unread messages present.

Hi, me and my cousins had a good thing going for a long time playing Catan but we are looking to shake things up. We have played Catan regularly for over s year, but find that it's getting a little stale. We are looking for a game that requires a lot of strategy, planning, teamwork but also betrayal and backstabbing, yet also not take half an hour to set up and dismantle.

In Catan we love that the board changes every game and therefore the strategy, but found that once we got to the castles and knights expansion there was one strategy that beat out all the rest which sort of deflated the fun (first person to get science bonus seemed to win 90% of the time).

Any other board games out there for beginners that don't take forever to set up and put away? Not huge into role playing, but never say never I guess.
