What?? It's the dragon's birthday?? 
Yeah.. I've finally got a 2 on the front. (I'm 20 now.)
Companies contract out small parts manufacturing, then big parts, then engineering and design, and only retain a "people and culture" organization that sits far from any factory, and before you know it you have two astronauts stranded in space and windows blowing our of planes because no one feels responsible for your overall product anymore.
IN-SOURCE YOUR ENGINEERING AND MANUFACTURING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Also, in-source your janitorial staff, in-source the people making food at the canteen, in-source your receptionist, in-source your IT support.
Every person working for a company should be working for that company.
You will have mid-term gains with outsourcing some functions, but in the long term, you will pay.
Stop listening to McKinsey telling you to outsource all that stuff. Their very business model relies on you outsourcing your brains. Ignore them.

Introduction post 
I'm Yeen Queen, a leftist, genderqueer, finsexual, furry and music enjoyer among other things.
I'd love to make friends here, I welcome anyone stopping by to say hi, despite being of the bone crushing hyena family I won't crush yours. Maybe.
Music I like is usually different types of rock, I love the punk rock aesthetics a lot.
This is the second instance I try and while I liked the other one I feel like a furry focused one would make it easier for me to meet people :)
When I got home today, after a couple of days at the old house, I parked the bike on the driveway and a couple of small fluffy persons came to say hello. Or, more precisely, one of them came to say hello, while the other one nearly did but then hid under a bush for ages, coming out only very briefly to tell the other one off and then go and hide again. I do like how they don't care that I'm in a full set of leathers, gloves, boots, with a blank black visor and no face, they just care if they get pettings. I do hope someday someone happens to walk past while this is happening and gets a surreptitious photo of a scary biker being affectionate to cats.
Also, I was busy yesterday and made four whole loaves of bread. Then I eated some.
Selomon found a tiny friend.
To the mouse, the skunk wasn't just a friend but a whole theme park of joy! Selomonβs fluffy tail becomes a liana, perfect for swinging.
Gift to Selomon from Hukley.

Seriously, ever trans timeline i see has the "after" photo looking like at least 3 years younger even if it is much later lol
I love the trope of big evil bads that are also like, ideal employers. Having this massive industrial base of loyal minions who with like, full coverage medical, checking in on the rank and file after particularly high casualty encounters with the heros, liquidating the CFO when it comes to light that he tried to replace the pension plan with a 401k.
Like with acid.
You know, good boss shit.
One thing I'll say as far as switching to Linux... It's been a while since I did a Windows setup, and man are the two utterly different worlds.
Linux: "Hey, should we do third party drivers?"
Windows: "Hey, can I use your location data? What about stuff for advertising? What about your browser history? You know this would be more useful if we had your Microsoft login. Hey can we grab your browser history from Google?"
Dude.
What a fantastic view. π

I've had countless conversations with sane, kind techy guys, and there's a pattern that goes like this:
Me: Here is something interesting I just learned about electronics.
Them: oh yeah! I learned that when I was (anywhere from 8-15) years old! It was so hard and I messed it up a lot! But I eventually learned it.
In. My. And. Other. Generations. White. Cis. Men. Learned. Tech. As. Children.
Other people, particularly women, did NOT.
WE ARE NOT LESS ABLE. WE WERE ROBBED OF TIME TO LEARN.
I keep trying to teach cis feminists: trans women are as close of an "A/B test" of sexism as you can get in society. We can give countless real world examples of sexism effects of THE EXACT SAME PERSON who has even more years of experience getting treated differently just because their public gender changed. You can't dismiss it as we're just "not as skilled" as our men colleagues or "not as assertive about getting raises and promotions" or any of those other excuses people will trot out.
The. Exact. Same. Person.
And so many of us see our careers stall. Our raises shrink. Getting talked over and ignored in meetings. Just because of our gender presentation.

It's very telling that the UK government refuses to acknowledge the very obvious fact that huge counter protests are what brought peace back to our streets, not a few ludicrously light sentences for fascist rioters and a very tame police response.
They really don't want you aware of your own power.

@alphasixtyfive @revk limit on what the grid will permit you to export - you have a statutory right to go up to ~3.6kW, but if your local infrastructure can handle it they'll let you go higher.
In our case, the local engineer glanced at the cable running into our local transformer and laughed, so...
(I mean strictly, it's also limited by the inverter but you normally overspec that anyway)
Used 61.4kWh so far today (Friend is visiting his car needed charging, then I put mine on charge)
Electric bill so far is at -0.50
I doubt it will be negative by end of day once we get back into peak rate electricity but yep good day to use a lot of power.
Sorting through things.
That time my dad saved a lost pilots life. Guy had no electronics bar radio. Light was rapidly fading. Dad was in the area and got the pilot to follow and led him to a safe landing.
No thoughts of "what if" or "what will the company do to me" just instant action and offer to help.
Look at all those cuties! But gah, look at those two fluffdragons, being all lovey and kissy when people are trying to take a group photo. So distractable...
