Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

paywall articles should be a crime

At the very start of November our microwave broke, so I ordered a new one on Amazon.

It was supposed to arrive within two days. It didn't. I gave it two weeks, and then put in for the refund.

Now, today, over 3 weeks later, it arrives.

The box is severely damaged, mostly held together by packing tape.

I open it up. Styrofoam help in place only by the box and the microwave pushing it against the box walls. I remove the microwave and plug it in. Set the clock.

The inside light comes on and doesn't go out. I try to cook something in it. The cook start touchpad is unresponsive. Microwave cancels the cook timer. The turntable starts to spin and the motor fan kicks up... I unplug it.

Time to return it, and I guess see if Amazon screws up and double refunds me. I doubt it, but I got my refund last week already, so I'm surprised it even showed.

Anyone ever see decorative keycaps? I wonder if those are universal.

They're mostly universal, you get that type of kb and you can put in any keycaps you want.

You can't just pop them on to some dell E-Waste kb though

Anything that takes standard 1U (size) keycaps. Generally.

Everytime i see a romantic scene in game, where the partners hug each other affectionaely, eyes seeing each other tenderly, my mind yells:

"ok, lets go kinky", or "yeah, make some obscene proposal, will you?"

Hopefully they fit on mine, these are too cool

If it's mechanical and standard size it should. Pop a key off or google your kb see which switches you have.

It's just a + and a + negative space that mate

Corsair K100 RGB Optical-Mechanical Gaming Keyboard - Corsair OPX RGB Optical-Mechanical Keyswitches

They have like lights so I wonder if they do pop off, I'll have to check their website

The lights aren't on the caps, the letters are just clear (or white) so the light shows through. So if you replace the cap with something fully opaque it'll still glow underneath.

Corsair OPX switches use the cherry MX stem standard so a majority of keycaps will fit. Keep in mind unless you get double shot keys specifically with a shine through legend you won't have shine through keys anymore, so if you're not comfortable typing in the dark without seeing the keys consider that. Shine through keys are typically lower quality though, and those artisan keycaps (aka that Squirtle one) are almost never shine through.

Sad to say but i might have to say my goodbyes with this game Its been fun on and off, its Stale right now and un enjoyable for sure.
cant even find a group of people to do Meaningfull stuff and its hard trying to yell on daily basis i don't know how people do this.

They do it begrudgingly. Because they have to. Addicts literally can't just, not.

Give me your money before you go

When I see George Takei trending on Twitter:

I've never watched game of thrones but that actress does play an interesting character in Dr Who.



One of my favorite scenes with 12.

Better than nothing, i guess

Gonna use it all with mithras in the red light district in Jeuno

That's how you get fleas.

Ya know. If these companies don't stop outsourcing their ENTIRE customer service team to people who barely speak english. For the love of ***.

And these god damned automated response systems that are wholly useless and just end the call when you skip the menus.

They wonder why people get pissed at the support guys who have zero fault in the matter, that's why. I've been hearing your menu options have changed for twenty *** years. I don't care. Just get to the *** menu!

Well, indians seems to have been becoming the experts in IT in the world…

Some of my support calls in IT tend to be redirect to someone with indian-like name.

I once joined an induan girl in voice meeting to solve my IT problem, and she had decent english skills.

Most of my Udemy IT courses are lectured by indians, though for those i feel like the pronunciation was quite funny. They tend yo change the entonation near the ending of the sentence

You cant quit! You are on the most populated server, how cant you find ppl

I'm gonna be a jack of all trades!

I did some Google search and it seems that the highest average call center employee salary in India is around ₹28,289 per month. The ₹ to USD value is 0.012. That makes the about $339.47. The lowest is ₹10,383 or $124.60 per month on the low end (and I'd guess more people are getting the lower pay than the higher pay.

A bit more google made me come up with the number of about $31,200 per year for average US call center employee or $2,600.00 / month.

Of course they set up call centers in poorer countries. I mean, they have to screen the prospective employees for basic functional English, but the thickness of accent really doesn't matter when you're paying #124 / month VS $2,600 / month.

It's sad, but that's "the free market".

I remember a story my friend told me about the last task he had at his job working aircraft sheet metal. They gave him a camera and had him document every step of the process of his job in detail with photographs. That information was translated into Spansih and put into an instruction manual that was shipped off to his job's new location in Mexico.
