And the reason people automate those sort of applications is largely because of the vast number of ghost job listings, where people say that out of 100 online applications, there might only be 3 or so that are actual listings and not fake, and they're lucky to even get one interview.

If anything, they should totally outlaw fake ghost job listings, not try targeting the victim applicants stuck wasting their time applying for more than likely fake listings.

I'm not sure where you get that they're hurting for labor. In recent years, companies have mostly been laying people off or outright firing them, to downsize in favor of AI and automated replacements, while the CEOs pat themselves on the back with fatter pay raises for themselves and their own bank accounts.

And let's not forget about the orange menace, one of his favorite things to say and do is "You're fired!" to government workers.

Do tell me fellow lemming, what companies are actually hiring these days?

You mean that formaldehyde and fire retardant cancer causing smell?

WTF?

Once I missed a job interview for Dollar General, because Google, in their infinite wisdom, automatically filed their email to me in the spam folder..

Thankfully I'm not in Ohio, but how long before other states start doing this shit?

Go back to using smoke signals and horns for semi long distance communication.

Looking past the obvious WTF, dude ain't curious about his deceased brother(s)? ๐Ÿค”

It'll still be a shitty search.

Those sharpeners are typically only useful to touch up a barely worn/dull blade occasionally. What you have there appears to have a bit of a curved and rather worn edge, that'll take some better tooling and some more work, and it really helps to have experience, or ask a local expert to do that for you.

You really don't want to take off too much more metal, no more than is absolutely necessary to get the edges back flat and even. There are a number of ways to go about that, the true pros mount the knife in a jig first to keep the angle of the blade perfectly flat and consistent.

I happen to have a knack for doing that sort of thing freehand with a file and Dremel tool and the side of a cutting wheel, but I do not advise this sort of thing for amateurs.

And that's just to get the edges back flat and prepared for a new proper sharp edge, which from there typically requires a proper sharpening stone, leather strop, and as my late father taught me, a tungsten rod.

Again I'm not exactly an expert, but I do have a fair amount of experience, and have been able to sharpen blades enough to literally split hairs.

Best of luck, hopefully other commenters here can help you more than I have. But for real, be careful to not remove any more metal than necessary to get it back to good sharp usable condition.

 

After breaking the larger one open, apparently they were chips that were stuck in their fryer since before Covid, totally burnt and been frying for years it seems, and of course I didn't eat those chunks.

At least the rest of the chips in the bag were okay.

 

I am surely not a swimmer, but after the recent tragic flooding in Texas, it got me and my roommate wondering...

Note the at least 3 literal errors on the pass screen...

Edit: Votes don't matter to me, but if you missed the three obvious errors on screen, you shouldn't be a technician. The problem was failed integrated GPU capacitors.

 

Somehow it's been running (but roughly) for the past 2+ years or so, with all three wires to the CKPS missing molten/dryrotted insulation and intermittently shorting out.

I really don't know how his vehicle ran as long as it did with such a faulty part, like that's the sensor that tells the spark plugs when to fire and the fuel injectors when to spray..

Now it's running pretty smooth again, still a couple minor hiccups here and there, but nothing like it was.

 

They really probably weren't supposed to install those outdoors...

 

I'm not sure what I think about the white on white background though, I might one day open it up and use a black marker to color in the Roman Numerals for better contrast.

Sorry for potato quality, Lemmy kept timing out so I had to reduce photo quality to knock the image size down.

 

Let the votes fall where they may, upvote if you like AI, downvote if you don't..

Yes I put it in the trash at least.

 

I can't find that episode, the camera burned up, did anyone else get footage from a different angle?
