What is something you never understood the hype for?
-
Having multiple monitors. My boss now has three. One is dedicated to displaying their calendar the whole day.
As someone who never understood multiple monitors, one day I just got a second one and now I feel working without a second monitor is limiting.
Having said that, I can’t see a use for a third monitor at all (not to say it’s completely useless. I’m sure some people find it useful).

listened to multiple neil young albums 3 times over and i still dont get why hes worshipped. only albums i even liked were some of harvest and his buffalo springfield stuff
His best work was with Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young. Deja Vu is a banger of an album, but if you don’t dig it then you don’t dig it, no art is universal.

Nirvana.
The band.I missed the grunge movement in its peak but I got into Pearl Jam and Soundgarden. Just couldn’t get into Nirvana beyond a few songs that I do like. Musically, I feel like both Pearl Jam and Soundgarden dwarf Nirvana.
I respect Nirvana tremendously for the movement they ushered in. I cannot enjoy most of their music, however.
Foo fighters is a bit better, but I admit I pick and choose.

"Reality TV". Could anythjng be more contrived yet obviously "make it up as you go along"?
It's cheap to make. People watch other people at their packagable worst. That's about it.

Hard same.

That’s a use case I can agree with. Iff the two things you’re comparing actually take up the width of 1 monitor, each.
OK so now imagine 4 things you’re doing and they take up the width of one monitor each. Ok, now expand that to a different metaphor. Imagine your kitchen, but you only have enough counter space for just the cutting board. Anytime you need to put something in a pan you have to hold the cutting board in one hand and pull a pan out and then put whatever is on the cutting board onto the pan, etc. Imagine cooking an entire meal like this. It would be a nightmare.
If you’re working on one thing, and that one thing requires referencing several different things, then having to juggle them rather than just look to a different monitor slows you down significantly. I don’t think you necessarily need 8 monitors, that sounds like a neck injury waiting to happen, but 2-4 is almost necessary in any workplace or even playing video games at home (game wiki on one screen, game on the other).

The idea is to be a cog in which you can get lost and do minimal work while collecting a fat paycheck
It's impossible to be an expert at everything a project needs.
Being part of a team that knows how to perform together to achieve very challenging goals is quite an experience.
I've been part of multiple projects that migrated/extended/moved extensive, broad-reaching, crazy complex systems with serious financial and life/safety risks (things like fire alarm systems that trigger suppression and alert fire departments).
The satisfaction of knowing it was done in time (no loss of monitoring), no one got hurt, no penalties or fines were paid because we maintained regulatory compliance, etc, is fantastic.
It's the teamwork. I've been a key performer on such projects, and could not have done it myself - it's just not possible.
Figuring out a critical path with all sorts of unpredictable risks requires strong understanding of these systems, and the capabilities of the groups you'll engage along the way.

wrote last edited by [email protected]Bleach and Incesticide weren't particularly good albums. Generic rock pulp, the songs were interchangeable.
EIDT: I'd argue it's their live shows that made them stand out. "Live and Loud" electrified me to no end. -
Then you go to the east coast and they claim Five Guys is the better In-n-out and holy shit it is definitely not. Even more overpriced and not even as good as a burger king. Sheesh.
In Colorado five guys is king as well. And I completely agree. More value for your money and the fries are much better.

There no way you're actively using 6 monitors at the same time. How many of this are just storing windows you don't look at for an hour at a time.
It's a whole lot faster to turn my head to check on a process than to Alt-Tab 30 times hoping I don't miss the window I'm looking for.
Though 6 monitors seems a bit nuts to me, but I don't know what he's doing.
I can use 3 when I have some long-running tasks, or need to RDP into multiple systems. It's just easier than using a tabbed remote tool like mRemote.

Same LMAO they're neat but I've always been so meh about them. And there's not even like new ones, it's always the same versions over and over again
And there's not even like new ones, it's always the same versions over and over again
That's the worst part for me, there are thousands upon thousands of superheroes to make movies about, but it's always about the same ones. And you know what the sad part is? That every once in a while we get a different superhero with a cool movie/TV show and it either ends up becoming overused like Batman/Superman (e.g. Spider-Man, or Iron man) or it's completely dropped and forgotten (e.g. Jessica Jones, or Spawn)

Mobile UI. It sucks. Yet the majority of people online are now connecting from it, and everything wants to be an app.

In-N-Out. Tried it. It's OK.
The first time I had In-N-Out was the first thing I ate after Basic Training, so I remember it being the best thing I'd had in months.

Vtubers. I get the cute anime girl thing and I like fan art of them as I do other anime. But the models move wayyyyyy to exaggerated. It hits uncanny valley for me.
Also I don't get the parasocial relationship of chatting in a huge room of other followers. The chat is scrolling by at a hundred miles an hour and you're competing with everyone else for their attention.
Supposedly vtubers need to make very exaggerated facial expressions irl in order to make sure the software picks it up and translates it onto the model, which is sometimes unsettling to people when they get in the habit of doing that normally.

They're a dongle company.
- Sell many dongle
- Remove port the dongle plugs into
- Invent NEW dongle
Repeat

I'm concerned that you have somehow acquired 14 pussies. I think you should turn yourself in.

It's been 30 minutes: time to reboot Batman again! Let's spend half the runtime of the movie rehashing his origin story just in case there might somehow still be one single person on Earth who doesn't know what Batman's deal is.
I love how the new Superman movie covered that in the first 20 seconds and then jumped in the action.
Holy shit I loved that movie.

Because Apple is a marketing company
How come they manufacture their own chips then?
