As others have mentioned, it refers to the gear shift. But it actually has a meaningful origin - many years ago, the gear order was not agreed upon. Many cars had a gear shift that was PNDLR (which I’ve heard pronounced “pendler”), where reverse was at the end. At the time, it was useful to tell the difference between a PRNDL and a PNDLR shift.

Of course that was all before 1971, when PRNDL was mandated by the US government.

There are some public numbers on how many occurrences are found each year on the major platforms.

IIRC, Facebook deals with around 75 million reports per year. Twitter, Reddit, and others were around 20 million reports per year.

I don’t know how many are dealt with on Mastodon or Lemmy (or how you’d even get reliable numbers for that), but something tells me it’s a lot less than the bigger platforms these days.

You are helping - they clearly need the additional training, and you’re doing everything you can to supply that. Their job can’t be relying on you.

They shouldn’t (and almost certainly don’t) have delegation authority.

For corporate bingo, the keywords are upskill, cross-training, and bus factor.

Don’t show. Guide them to do it themselves. Never be the one to actually do it beyond the first time.

If they still refuse to learn, make them take notes. Make them read to you their notes from last time. Make them tell you what each step is and means.

Make asking you the hardest option for them to get what they want.

You must not be American. Adults wearing DARE shirts are not bootlickers for the DEA. They wear it ironically.

This seems perfectly reasonable. I’m sure the people wearing DARE shirts will take this seriously and help out.

They all have to work (at least to an extent) using only x1. It’s part of the PCIe spec.

Missing pins are actually extremely common. If your board has a slot that’s x16 (electrically x8), which is very common for a second video card, take a closer look. Half the pins in the slot aren’t connected. It has the full slot to make you feel better about it, and it provides some mounting stability, but it’s electrically the same as an x8 that’s open.

USB the protocol, or just uses a USB cable? If it’s not using the protocol, the cables are a cheap way of getting cables of a certain spec.

Why would you ever think that dealing with Wells Fargo was going to be in your best interest?

Why would he care about the lawsuits? It won’t ever come out of his pocket. It just becomes someone else’s problem.

This might be interesting. I turned off all of my Google history years ago. I presume they still collected all of it.

This could reveal some of that.

It sounds like a daytime event. If it runs that late, it interferes with nighttime events, most notably drinking/getting laid.

For anyone as confused as me, the “nails” are fingernails, not the construction part.

This can get a bit complicated with federation. This community is hosted on LW. I am accessing it via sopuli.xyz, and you via feddit.uk. All (presumably) have full bidirectional federation with each other.

When I hit send, this message will go to Sopuli’s outbox, which will then sync to LW for this community. At that point, this post will live on LW’s servers. Anyone accessing LW directly can see it, even if Sopuli were to go down. Later (probably less than a minute), LW will sync to Feddit.uk, at which point you will be able to see it.

Note that this is for text posts only. There have been some changes around images and video, both for bandwidth and liability reasons.

People of all ages have different levels of beauty, and not in a sexual way.

Ever thought a kid was cute/adorable/whatever? And the kid next to them was not?

On the complete other end, many elderly are visually repulsive, but some look good right to the end.

There isn’t just one reason. The biggest one currently can be directly tied back to porn. It’s also not just the simple existence of porn, but with our excessive consumption of it.

The fact that nearly all porn is the same in this regard is also a factor. There’s also a generational factor, in that younger people experienced almost-exclusively shaved partners and porn in their formative years.

That would probably result in teams that have the shortest players possible (to lower the rim), and 1 or 2 tall players to exploit that.

It’s more like claiming to own a subreddit, or a Twitter hashtag.

“Having a Discord server” doesn’t mean what those words normally mean.

How exact does it need to be? There are plenty of ways to collect and organize the data. There are plenty of low-income schools. If you only gave out free condoms at the ones that were 90% black (but given to all students there), would that count?
