Where I got my BA in philosophy the department head was all about Husserl.

Another philosophy professor from a neighboring college told a number of us about Dark Star. In hindsight I do wonder if it was because of the phenomenology reference, or because they were philosophers who took in 60s/70s/... scifi/speculative fiction.

If we're thinking of the same thing, I have fond memories of those at mall department stores in the 80s and 90s.

I think Sears around '04-06 (?) was the last time I saw one of those used. I think I bought a dehumidifier or air purifier.

When they started rolling out credit and debit cards without the raised numbers I thought fondly of those and how they were definitely done for now.

She has the breakdown in the doorway in front of the kids. But they all calm down together after the Bluey (mostly, IIRC) asks why they're going to the park.

(We haven't watched an episode in many months, but referenced it when my son was taking forever to brush his teeth and I got frustrated.)

Microsoft, Uber, Lyft, and AirBnB is what I eventually found.

FAANGMULA in the above case.

There's certainly bubbles on BGG, but from game forums to random lists, this is an excellent resource to get (generally) quality reviews.

BGG does have a very clear bias against traditional games (see Clue, Monopoly, etcetera), due to it's roots, but that's changed a bit as board games have become big again.

Own up to it when it happens. Can only get worse if you don't.

Hopefully you work with people that follow that as well.

I can still remember a more senior coworker copying a directory from a network share (Ctrl + C), deleting the directory, and then trying to paste it somewhere else.

I didn't speak up (he also rarely touched the mouse so flew through it), so we both got a chuckle when he realized his mistake and pinged network folks for a backup from tape.

It happens. The real world is messy. Can always learn something new. Can always do something you know not to do.

I've got Gitea running on a $5 Vultr instance and it's great.

Upgrades have been painless. Doesn't tax the server.

Was using Gitea when that fork happened and didn't see a reason to migrate. Looked very much like poor communication on the behalf of Gitea causing a misunderstanding.

Because we have a hard time sustaining. It's easy to laugh off the deniers instead of educate. Or just not care since it doesn't immediately impact me.

The more time that passes, the less real it is, the less people that can talk about being there, the easier it is to deny.

Maybe it's different if it's a disaster from something like a meteor. Slightly harder to deny that it happened, but certainly not hard to question and doubt the long term impacts.

'Sure, it had x and y immediate impact, but even though there's general consensus among experts that we should do z, let's go slow/let's not be too hasty/no one could be sure/what do they actually know/but there's these small group of opposing experts that I like better.'

Spoiler for The Watchmen:

The Watchmen has two examples (comic and movie) that I thought might work, if they were really pulled off.

However, even then I agree with the other comments currently posted that there would still be deniers, who would ultimately win.

Maybe humanity could pull it off, but if they could I'm not sure we'd be able to sustain it.

We're good at short term disasters, but not at preventing them, or following through with the lessons we've learned.

Used Sitecore at my last job, so I'm curious what they're migrating to. All I could find mentioned .NET Core. Do you have a link that covers what they're moving to?
