If you don't work IT, retail, or food service what do you do for work?
  • Not quite. We climb / rappel structures, mostly oil rigs. And use a gamma radiation source to check for weld defects.
    We're known as bombers because the source container, a techops sentinel 880 or a SCAR projector look a lot like bombs and we blast radiation all over the place causing issues to the nucleonic sensors so over the place.

  • Jellyfin Server/Web 10.9 Released
  • A heads up for anyone else having an issue with the android app and the new version with the https server. There is a segment of the nginx config file you will need to remove that was a workaround for version 10.8 that is no longer needed and should be removed. Can't remember which section right now.
    Will try to edit this tomorrow.

  • doggos
  • I just got a new puppy and when she poops she starts facing one directing the turns 180 while pooping then scoots over to the side a bit to finish.
    Is she broken? Should I do an RMA?

  • consider the implications for a post scarcity future
  • I did some work at a place called The hollow mountain that does this. But seeing as it looked like an underground James Bond bad guy base and I was a rope access mook in a boiler suit, I felt like I could die at any moment by tuxedo clad hero.
    It wasn't solar they used to power pump the water back up though. They just, hmm I want to say, bought cheap electricity when no one was using it.

  • What's your juicy work drama that you just want to tell us about?
  • The lead engineer at a site I work on from time to time is on a 3 on 3 off rotation (weeks) on an offshore oil rig.
    It turns out he was having to miss some of his trips because he had to 'look after his ailing father'.
    It turns out he was spending this time working another lead engineer job, for the same oil company but in a different country.
    He got away with it for months until some issue came up and he had to call into the office and they noticed his number was from another country, Saudi Arabia.
    Haven't been back to that site in a while so I don't know what happened to him but he's certainly not working there any more.

  • Outside of gaming, how do you guys use your Steam Deck?
  • I travel a lot for work with a not very big weight allowance so it has replaced my laptop as my daily machine.
    I game on it, use it for discord and dndbeyond to play dnd at work, have jellyfin on it to stream media to my phone+ar glasses, and use it to access my home server to deal with downloads and my main jellyfin server.
    It's an awesome tool.

  • The miracle of childbirth
  • My wife gave birth like this, right on the living room floor and my daughter came out in an egg. The whole thing happened so quick, the midwife only arrived a few moments before she dropped, lucky as she needed to cut the egg open and get my daughter out.
    Meanwhile I was lying on the sofa with a broken leg trying to stop our cat from eating everything.

  • What's a superpower most people think is awesome but actually wouldn't be and what's your reasoning?
  • I think it's in one of the sequals to John dies at the end, with the spiders where this happens after he takes the sauce and stops time. The grass doesn't bend under his feet so it's like running on blades and then he gets shot. Nope, just turns out he ran into a butterfly. Even when he gets to where he's going he's powerless to change anything s everything is frozen.
