I worked in a scuba dive shop for a few months. My first day I was told to come in for orientation. I showed up and the manager was very suprised to see me there. He didn't know I was coming because nobody told him. I thought "okay mistakes happen" then he handed me an employee handbook and told me to sit in the back and start reading.

An hour later he comes back in and asks if I had any questions about it. I said no, then we setup an app for timekeeping and I went back home.

I had my first shift a few weeks later. I had 0 retail experience and they just said go help that customer. I had no training at this point. After making a fool of myself i was mocked and asked to put some stock away instead.

After a week of that nonsense, I was moved into their smaller shop that I was to work by myself. I got 1/2 a day of "training", zero direction on what to do in my down time and was told that the owner liked to watch the camera and if I was caught doing nothing, I would be fired.

This smaller shop had a "manager" that was never around, about 5 customers a day asking where the toilet was, and not much else to do. I wanted to quit simply because of the boredom but it got worse after I started working on their dive charter boat 2 days a week.

I a piece of equipment was found to be broken or not put away properly it was automatically my fault. We had to refill all of the dive air tanks after each trip, about 50 of them. It took a long time and I would get talked to if it took too long, or if the tanks weren't filled correctly. You can only do one of those things safely.

Then one day my timekeeping app sends me an SMS that one of my shifts was deleted, so I went and had the day off. I came in the next day to them asking where I was. They actually changed the shift without asking me, the app said it was deleted and again that was my fault.

In summary they never trusted their staff to do anything right, and blamed us when something went wrong, even when it was out of our control like a faulty pressure gauge, or customers breaking rental equipment. I quit shortly after someone almost lost their foot on the boat from a falling tank. It's likely only a matter of time before they have a bigger accident and I don't want to be anywhere near that place when it happens.

I had an ATI all in wonder 9600. That card was very unique because it also had a built in TV tuner and AV capture card that could turn your PC into a DVR of sorts. It went into an agp slot before PCIe was a thing.

Signal. I use it anyway so it's not an extra "bloated" app and I know all the secrets I send over the app are encrypted.

If you use a password manager, most have a notes feature that works well too.

Yes I have tried whole grains and they still taste sweet to me

Even so, its still difficult to avoid sugar in normal foods like bread. Even the nicer bread brands still have some amount of added sugar and I can taste it

Wasn't this exact scenario posted to r/talesfromtechsupport a few years ago? It sounds very familiar

That's true. i do sometimes have issues with the ZFS package not compiling because of a too new kernel not being supported yet.

another recomendation for Fedora from me

Sexycare, or maybe sexicare?

Hmm, I put ketchup on scrambled eggs in the morning.

We have speed limits for a reason, why does everyone insist on ignoring them? Serious question, as I live in a mountainous area and cars are constantly crashing because people insist on speeding. The roads are winding and narrow with lots of traffic and wildlife, so you never really know what's around the bend.

I use ext4 for all boot drives and root filesystems. Anything really important goes on a ZFS array. And for my Linux isos, I use a drive with ext4 + snapraid. The parity drive has xfs because ext4 has a 16tb file size limit.

Got rid of anything NTFS as it was unreliable and slow on Linux.
