That well is probably AI, though.
stinerman@midwest.socialto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Would you take a short term job(1-2 months) over a local longer term that makes nearly 8months worth of salary??English3·4 days agoBest wishes! I hope it works out. If I was the employer and you were a good worker, I’d want to retain you rather than lose you forever and then spend the time looking for a new hire and training them.
stinerman@midwest.socialto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Would you take a short term job(1-2 months) over a local longer term that makes nearly 8months worth of salary??English14·4 days agoThis sounds like OP has a full time position somewhere and is thinking of quitting to go work as a contractor. My guess is that they’re unemployed after 2 months and would need to find a new job.
My general feeling on this is that it’s fine if they understand the difference. I don’t know of they’re in the US or elsewhere, but in the US the taxes on 1199 contractors are pretty high and there are no benefits. This can heavily change the calculus.
I would see if my current employer would allow me to take a 2 month leave of absence and then come back.
I found out at a previous position that the best way to get my work done was to be short with people. In that case they wouldn’t bother me, and I had more time to do my work.
stinerman@midwest.socialto Mental Health@lemmy.world•Update: Later this week, in like 3 days, I get to talk with my therapist!English7·5 days agoTalking with a therapist is like talking to a lawyer. You need to tell them everything no matter how embarrassing or terrible it is. That’s the only way they can truly help you.

There is also a plugin for Rclone, but that’s a 3rd party, reverse-engineered app.

You can find this all over YT. It’s insanity. For the record, my wife drives a 2019 Camry. I drive a 2012 Fiesta. Both paid off. I only have the Fiesta because my sister wanted to sell it and it was a good deal for the times where my wife and I both need to drive. We were a one-car family for a few years.

stinerman@midwest.socialto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is the strangest math that turned out to be useful?English12·9 days agoDES is symmetric key cryptography. It doesn’t rely on the difficulty of factorizing large semi-primes. It did use a 56-bit key, though.
Public key cryptography (DSA, RSA, Elliptic Curve) does rely on these things and yes it’s a 4096-bit key these days (up from 1024 in the older days).
I was able to import my Keep data into Standard Notes. It’s encrypted and free.

Car Dealer: I understand, and it’s wonderful that you don’t care whether anyone questions your sexual orientation.
Fry: I care! I care plenty! But I just don’t know how to make them stop!
Car Dealer: One word: Thundercougarfalconbird.
stinerman@midwest.socialto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•what is your country's view on speaking the native language with a foreign accent?English6·11 days agoCame here to say this. Western European accents are fun, quirky things. Accents from what our President would call “shithole countries” do not get the same respect.
My understanding is that turning off and on a diesel engine is not great for it or something like that. Sorry, my grandpa was a mechanic and I’m half remembering something he said.
stinerman@midwest.socialto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How many of you use Lemmy and ONLY use Lemmy vs Reddit?English3·12 days agoI don’t know if I’m hardcore or not, but I’ve never had a Reddit account.
Same. Should be rock bottom prices.
