@MBraedley I'd be really surprised if it wasn't though

Also @AshleyNunn: If you are just installing software you can install the 32 bit version on 64 bit os-es no problem, it just won't be able to use all the memory

No. 7892142

@MBraedley Huh, how could it not be?

Kevin van der Velden

@No.7892142 uuh

If it's a 32 bit CPU, or a 16 bit CPU

The past did exist you know

Ashley Nunn

@KevinvanderVelden Yeah, that I remember, I just figure if I can do the thing, I might as well do it right :)

No. 7892142

...with a 64bit OS?

Kevin van der Velden

3:01 PM

We didn't start with 64 bit octacores =p

fredley

@KevinvanderVelden Or an 8 bit CPU

MBraedley

@No.7892142 more specifically, 64-bit OS implies 64-bit CPU, but 32-bit OS does not imply 32-bit CPU

Kevin van der Velden

That

No. 7892142

@MBraedley Precisely.

fredley

A 64 bit OS can run on 32 bit hardware, but you have to emulate it, and that would be slow as.

No. 7892142

3:02 PM

@MBraedley Ahh, now I understand the statement after re-reading. I thought you implied some sort of 64 bit OS on 32 bit CPU shenanigans.

Q: Create a GTA V crew with a sub account?

So I was on the Rockstar website and I created a crew and linked my PS4 account. So I went onto GTA V and I hit crew in the online section, then it said "based on the information provided you are not elidgible to access this option." Does anybody know how to get past that? Or do I need to be ran...

Ashley Nunn

@MBraedley I meant it more sarcastically

MBraedley

@AshleyNunn on the internet, no one can hear your sarcasm

Unionhawk

I mean, all they need is Matthew Inman to endorse it and it'll make millions (I still don't know why people throw that man so much money)

Ashley Nunn

Okay, I can't figure out that Inkscape thing, going to go back to copy/pasting/remaking

MBraedley

3:13 PM

Also, Facebook app, how do you not have my friends list cached? That seems like something obvious to do.

@AshleyNunn I find the learning curve on drawing apps is either very shallow, or very steep. And with the easy apps, I find they aren't always powerful.

Ashley Nunn

@MBraedley Since I just want to futz about with PDF's, I don't really want to take the time to figure this thing out. My system works, it is just slow

Kevin van der Velden

Yeah, I personally would not advise inkscape for PDF, it is at it's heart a drawing program, not a text program

(Though I have no experience with editing PDFs in it)

Unionhawk

Well, decision made, not being considered at the one company. OH WELL

It would have been 45 minutes+ or finding housing here anyway

shrug

Rapitor

@Unionhawk that's the spirit

Unionhawk

NO MY PAPER IS NOT DONE IT IS ALMOST THERE I THINK

STOP ASKING

Rapitor

3:21 PM

@uni pls

Unionhawk

I'm glad I held onto this offer, and I'm glad I went to the career fair to get it

So, I mean

Incidentally this means I will be working at least indirectly with my mom, so that's going to be weird

Ashley Nunn

I hate the job apps that are "copy and paste your resume" because damn it I have a REALLY PRETTY LaTeX resume and it looks SO GOOD as a PDF

Unionhawk

@AshleyNunn heh

A lot of the ones I've done are like "We will import linkedin!" and I'm like "skeptical @Uni is skeptical" and upload one anyway

Kevin van der Velden

@AshleyNunn LaTeX resumes are the best

I need to update mine soon

Arperum

@Unionhawk We're not asking, we know it's not done yet, so GET OUT and work!

Unionhawk

3:26 PM

I've got like 20 minutes to write 1 page. Plenty of time! #famouslastwords

This is all @OrigamiRobot's fault somehow

Arperum

@Unionhawk WRITE HARDER.

You are forgetting that you still have to reread all of it.

Ashley Nunn

@KevinvanderVelden It is just so pretty and nice and it is SO easy to update and just yes

MadMAxJr

Thank you for submitting your .DOC resume. Our automatic scanner has butchered it and prepopulated it for our form. Please review and correct the form. Thank you for submitting that. Now attach a copy of your .doc (PLEASE NO .DOCX FORMATS) for submission.

@Unionhawk No clue what that means.

Kevin van der Velden

3:29 PM

@Arperum "You handed something in that loosely fit the requirements? Done!"

I'm assuming from the words

Unionhawk

@Arperum As in if I do it I don't lose points on things, it's more of a "were any of you fucks paying attention" assignment

At least, it seems that way

Ashley Nunn

@MadMAxJr yep

MadMAxJr

Please list your COMPLETE job history..... Alright, there's all my part time jobs clear back to... high school.... Submit ERROR Submit at least one MANAGER reference contact and TWO employee references per job

But uuuhh. One of those isn't even in business anymore. REFERENCES PLEASE OR NO SUBMIT

Ashley Nunn

@MadMAxJr A lot of things have stopped asking for references

Which is good because a lot of my jobs won't give them

MadMAxJr

Yeah. That's increasing rapidly

Frank

3:32 PM

@AshleyNunn Or if they will, all you get is a, "Yes, they worked for us."

Kevin van der Velden

I don't think giving references is a dutch thing

Frank

Since if they bash you, you can sue the company.

Ashley Nunn

@Frank My current job can't even do that

Frank

@AshleyNunn Really? That's shitty.

MadMAxJr

"I cannot speak to you, you will need to contact HR." HR will verify worked from X to Y date.

Ashley Nunn

3:33 PM

@Frank Considering they cut my contract short by a month, I am not expecting anything nice out of them at all

MadMAxJr

The other question they will /sometimes/ answer is "Is X person eligible to work again for you in the future?"

Frank

@AshleyNunn No doubt.

Ashley Nunn

@MadMAxJr Doesn't work for me, because I was a contract employee and thus HR has no idea I exist

MadMAxJr

I got let go a month early too on contract, then my agent left the agency. So the agency HR has to answer and they have trouble remembering I worked for them.

Kevin van der Velden

@AshleyNunn huh, is that even allowed? As in, it seems clear that they did it because you had to go to the hospital

Ashley Nunn

3:35 PM

@KevinvanderVelden oh no, they tossed out every contract employee

so it's not just me

Kevin van der Velden

Aah ok

Well

Frank

@MadMAxJr That's quite often why I don't use my manager as a reference. Quite often, they don't even know what I do.

Kevin van der Velden

Not ok, but not illegal

Ashley Nunn

(They might have spent a LONG time convincing my agency contact of that)

MadMAxJr

Contracting sucks. Hoping my current client just decides to bring me on board to the company.

Frank

3:38 PM

@MadMAxJr Yeah, it does. But it makes sense for the company, as it makes it known that the position is temporary.

Ashley Nunn

@MadMAxJr Contracting sucks SO HARD.

Frank

Which is an important thing from an employment standards viewpoint, as contractors aren't held to the same expectations as permanent employees.

Ashley Nunn

@Frank No benefits, no guaranteed vacation, no sick days, no nothing!

Frank

@AshleyNunn From a job perspective, yep, it totally sucks.

Ashley Nunn

Seriously if I ever get a job with benefits/vacation again I will be SO AMAZED

Frank

3:42 PM

From a company perspective, it's the awesomest.

Ashley Nunn

@Frank Uhuh. This I know too well.

It's good for them, shitty for me

Jason Berkan

I work for a company that provides contractors. Best of both worlds, IMO.

Wipqozn

@AshleyNunn should just become a contract killer.

I hear it pays well.

Ashley Nunn

@Wipqozn I'm Mennonite, silly bean, we're pacifists

Frank

@JasonBerkan And now so do I!

Wipqozn

3:43 PM

@AshleyNunn Yeah, which means no one will ever suspect you

Unionhawk

It's the perfect crime!

Or something!

Frank

Technically not, as we haven't gotten our formal offer yet, but that's coming.

MadMAxJr

My current client has a policy of having to either let go or hire contractors after a year... Crossing my fingers on this one..

Sterno

I can't wait to spend it on bounties

Unionhawk

@Sterno Does that mean you can close and reopen stuff or not yet

Sterno

@Unionhawk Not yet. I deleted about 300 rep of answers a few months ago.

Ashley Nunn

@Sterno My mom uses her hair

MadMAxJr

Step 1: Get to mod tools on lifehacks. Step 2: Close. Down. Everything.

Sterno

I'd still be pretty far off that, I guess

Unionhawk

Kevin van der Velden

@AshleyNunn ew.

Sterno

@AshleyNunn Should totally post that

Ashley Nunn

@Sterno It's a beta, so.....you need 1k? 2?

I will +100 bounty that answer

MadMAxJr

I wonder how our favorite paranormal site is doing today.

@Frank secretly look for a new job, when the offer comes go "No." and vanish off into the night with 0 documentation on what you've done

Frank

@KevinvanderVelden Nah, I'm professional enough to at make an attempt at documentation, if I gave my notice.

Wipqozn

@Unionhawk I like pointing out when they do things that make no sense, or don't apply their own rules correctly

Kevin van der Velden

@Frank Screw that! Be unprofessional :D

Ashley Nunn

@Sterno nooooo I don't want to dirty my hands with Lifehacks rep

Frank

@KevinvanderVelden Chances are extremely good that if I gave my notice, they'd elect to pay out my two weeks.

In which case, woo! Two extra weeks paid vacation!

Kevin van der Velden

3:48 PM

That is awesome

MadMAxJr

Lifehack rep doesn't corrupt your soul. It's also not measurable in your blood content.

Ashley Nunn

@MadMAxJr you say that now, but ten years from now, they'll do studies and find out how harmful it really was.....

Sterno

Lifehacks rep is a direct measure of how awful a human being you are.

MadMAxJr

And test blood for Midilifehackchlorons?

Ashley Nunn

@MadMAxJr THEY MIGHT

Unionhawk

3:49 PM

@Sterno Is this you just calling their moderators terrible people? It's not very subtle.

Ashley Nunn

you never know

MadMAxJr

You were supposed to bring balance to the Stack. D:

Ashley Nunn

its science it is unpredictable

2

Sterno

@Unionhawk No, and there's only one mod who I think is a terrible mod. I was actually calling myself out as terrible

(and anyone else who has rep there)

Ashley Nunn

@Unionhawk oh, they finally managed mods?

Unionhawk

3:50 PM

@AshleyNunn YUP

@Sterno Yes, well, maybe I was being too subtle then WHO KNOWS

Sterno

So, I guess, yeah, I'm saying their mods are terrible people. But not because they're mods. Just because they're Lifehacks users

Yuuki

@MadMAxJr FROM MY POINT OF VIEW, ALL CLOSE REASONS ARE EVIL.

Wipqozn

@Sterno I wonder who that is!

Yuuki

@AshleyNunn "managed"

Ashley Nunn

Dear @Wipqozn and others in his general part of Canada, you better keep all that, I DONT WANT IT. I was wearing my fall coat today and it was NICE.

Unionhawk

3:51 PM

I'm happy my repost of "A close vote is not a super downvote" is at +7

Sterno

@Wipqozn Definitely not the guy I called out as awful directly on the nomination page.

Okay, I guess I didn't call him awful. I said I disagreed with every single decision he made

Frank

@AshleyNunn I broke out my spring jacket this weekend!

Sterno

Which is more accurate. He might be a nice guy

Frank

@Sterno You disagree with me on a very regular basis, and I'm a nice guy.

Unionhawk

Debatable :p

Ashley Nunn

3:52 PM

@Frank I wore my fall coat which is really just like a giant sweater that is kinda weatherproofed and lined?

So it was great

Wipqozn

@Frank eh, you're okay I guess

Sterno

I disagree with you on things that are generally up for debate. I disagree with this other guy on things where he's clearly wrong.

:)

Frank

@Sterno A fine distinction, that.

Yuuki

I am now an expert (got 'Enlightened' badge) on magical theory. Please shoot me.

@AshleyNunn I got it for Christmas a couple years back. Since I'm done growing, and exercise will keep me trim, I'm thinking I'm going to wear it out before I grow out of it.

Ashley Nunn

@John @MattGiltaji Someone already asked about Baymax.

Unionhawk

Someone proposed a "because it is silly" reason and I shot him down

Ashley Nunn

3:56 PM

@Frank Yeah, I am kinda hesitant right now to buy things because I am still working on weight loss (35 lbs and counting)

MadMAxJr

Why didn't Baymax use a standard format like SD or MicroSD?

Ashley Nunn

so I figure maybe when I reach my goal (100 lbs or so) I will be like FUCK YES VICTORY and buy myself a nice coat

Sterno

My current weight loss plan involves making sure our combined weights stays the same when holding my son and standing on the scale.

MadMAxJr

@AshleyNunn Yes, don't tell them the weight loss is so your bone structure can support more cybernetic parts, like the ab-cannons.
