> “I know I’ve heard from a lot of people that this is low-grade work. ‘It’s not what I need to be doing,’” Ziegler said, according to the transcript. “I need you guys to think about this from a different perspective.”

> He said employees should approach their assignments “from a different mindset of, ‘how am I gonna do my job to the best of my abilities, because that’s what I want to do for the agency that I love: the IRS.’”

Ziegler should get his butt into the seat and process returns. Since he makes about 2270x's the salary of these people, he should be able to get through about 2270 returns in the same time it takes them to do one.

Batteries? You mean like digging a hole/making a wall and pumping water?

Or we could just spin some rocks around.

Rather have solar/wind and this than shipping depleting goop from foreign nations.

Reminds me of the PGs in Bengaluru, but way worse since there aren't sound dampening walls.

Haven't looked at the full pc part picker breakdowns.

But this is at least a good sign. Still WAY more than I want to pay.

Hey, the uptime for oxygen is 99.9% this month

Why are you complaining about the half hour of no air? Did you suffer some sort of brain damage? (<-- that's the joke. look up "hypoxia" if you didn't get it. Oh, and try not to get hypoxia.)

Really? I think Joel is the one full of it.

Human directed selection is a thing.

Have you ever seen a pug or do I need 58 articles with a bibliography 20 miles long to tell you they exist?

This kind of crap is why I stopped buying from NewEgg years ago and don't buy anything expensive on Amazon anymore.

They got bought by that company that decided on quantity over quality and enshittified it by adding "market" sellers.

Order a Power supply. Realize it was from a market seller 2 minutes later. Attempt to cancel the purchase and get denied because "It has already shipped". Contact support to demand cancelling again, and they won't do it. Support the scammer instead. 6 Weeks later. Oh, the tracking number for the package got rerouted to some weird address in a city 500 miles away. Contact NewEgg and seller, because that is the NewEgg rule. Seller says "oopsie" and will fix. Wait 6 more weeks. Get a dropshipped charm bracelet in the mail. Tell NewEgg about it several times over that 3 months and even point to a post on reddit of over a dozen other customers caught up in this scam. Something NE They make me mail them the charm. 2 weeks later, finally get the refund.

Scammy companies helping scammy companies.

I don't buy anything that expensive on Amazon because of their support of things like this. I drive the hour and a half to Microcenter and even there, I pop open the boxes right in front of them at the service counter.

Dang. I guess kagi is about as useful as a cuecat with a synopsis like that.
