To expect every handler of a firearm to be knowledgeable enough about guns to safely unload, confirm what ammunition is in use, and then proceed accordingly when they also have to act and deal with what comes with that is insane.

Fuck that, absolutely not, every single handler of any firearm is required to know how to safely unload and confirm that it is unloaded. Period. End of story. If you don't know how to drop the mag and rack the slide then don't fucking touch that thing. Guns aren't toys, and they aren't props. The armorer is there for guidance and for double checking but there should never, ever, for any reason other than a survival emergency, be a gun in the hand of someone who does not know how it functions. Not for actors, not for cops, not for civilians. It takes less than a minute to confirm an unloading and it takes 15 minutes to teach someone how who has never seen a firearm before. There is no excuse whatsoever (BIG EDIT: assuming a competent armorer, that can actually teach this) for an actor not knowing how to confirm their own gun is ready for scene, and the armorer should check it themselves immediately before or after, before the scene starts.

I'll be honest our trajectory isn't looking great

It's not impossible, but we're going to need some great big ground-up restructuring if we want that to be the case.

It's entirely unnecessary, your car is already registered to your name and address via title and registration and already reports GPS data back to home on nearly every car made after 2016, and your phone is always where you are and reporting back unless you have all your data connections turned off. You don't need to sync them up at all. It's already happening.

Dont care what games or executables i wont be able to run

Between Wine and Proton that's basically a non issue anymore, go ahead and make the switch. The era of windows exclusive software is pretty much over.

More like, you know damn well that Jim keeps passing code reviews without reading a line in them, he's been talked to, still does it, and you need something actionable to prove it so that you can get someone's ass in his chair who does their job.

Being cute to humans was an evolutionary advantage. That's the look of a shrewd and calculating hunter. Cats have domesticated humans, not the other way around, they still pretty much do their own thing and are largely resistant to training, but we still keep them around and feed them because we think they're adorable little derps. Meanwhile they're in the back yard demolishing the local bird population.

Will be interesting to see where it goes. Mostly I'm just happy to see anything escape the clutches of Embracer Group.

Some of those I understand complaining about but honestly Sets & Logic is a great class for a programmer. I wish that was in the standard math path so that everyone got a little of it in high school, the closest I got was doing proofs in geometry which while that is a sort of logic training it doesn't really teach you how to make use of anything.

Also, depending what you're building exactly, advanced Calc and Numerical Analysis may be very useful and/or required to perform. Especially if you're trying to accurately model something that happens in meatspace.

When you hit phase 2 of the fight and the boss pulls out a crack pipe

Just collate them based on edit/deletion date... Each post will have a last-edited attribute that can be used for sorting. Even more so once the AI is bootstrapped enough to start recognizing the standard protest edit messages. At that point you hardly even need human oversight anymore, because the bot will be able to recognize "that's a fuck spez edit, ignore that; this post looks good; that's a Shreddit/PowerDelete edit, ignore that" and so on. Can even have it fetch the previous edit automatically when it comes across something like that, to a point where a comment removed by a PowerDelete tool is nothing more than a cover letter that states "there was once a real human-generated comment in this location".

That's an important distinction because an average person will not die from capsaicin intake.

I have a feeling there is a very large number of people just waiting for the shoe to drop
