I had a buddy go on deployment and gift me a freezer filled with meat from a cow his family butchered. Only problem was none of the bags were marked so it was an offal version of russian roulette every time I pulled a bag out to make something with.
The offal conversation is making me really crave liver, haven't had any in ages. I don't think my family would be down for it though.
Ugh I miss pub meals.
One of my go-tos for quick liver preparation (and even my mom will eat this - when she was a kid, grandma would do the liver & onions that was just a huge ol slab of liver and with what I said before about textures, I could see eating big chunks of liver as really gross) is get it thin sliced, soak in buttermilk for a couple hours to pull the blood out, and then using either seasoned flour or cornmeal give it a quick coating and pan fry it.

That does sound nice. I like the texture though, give me a big ol' slab of liver with onion gravy and mash, mmm. I also really like deviled liver on toast, mmmm.
Fuck, guess I'm gonna have to buy some liver this week.

While waiting for people to respond to me at work, I just noticed something about SE++...
I'm too afraid to make a new thread about this...
Not for any superstitious reason, I just don't want to take us to 667.
Called up a subscriber today at like, half four and was like, hey I hear you've been having problems with the alerts you have set up for staff on the site
Yeah well I set them up to only provide alerts when we get a publication within these parts of the trust, but they are getting them whenever a story is published anywhere in the trust!
Okay let me look at these... okay so the alerts are basically searches by any other name, so you create a search and then you turn that into a saved alert... (it is at this point that I realise that the person has in fact searched for the entire trust, and then named the alert the specific service within it... which of course doesn't actually refine the search at all, cos to do that you need to click on the "refine" button...)
Yeah so I think I can see what the issue is, what you need to do is... (it is at this point that the nice, tired, older person in the trust who has been gamely dealing with this while also trying to help manage patient experience during the rona pandemic looks at me with a look of "okay I am going to try to learn this, and I will stay late after work to do it, but I might struggle") ...actually you know what, I'll just do it myself. It's no trouble at all. I'll do them all, and send you screenshots once they are done with an explanation, and you can have a look at them as examples and you give me a call if you still don't understand, we can go through it then, you get yourself off

Ive been exposed to a lot of jargons; hardware and software engineering, logistics, supply chain, accounting, IT and yes business too. They all have a few eye roll terms but business jargon seems to be the most eye rollingly asinine. Followed at a distance by software development, which seems to have the most bleed through from business. I blame tech startup culture for that.

This is going to resonate with a lot of folks in the Job Thread. I think it will gain some serious traction. You should circle back later and see if anyone has conceptualized any actionable responses that you might be able to leverage.

While I appreciate meaningless buzzwords are problematic, I am fine with jargon because it means something specific. I could parse this sentence! The issue is when jargon is misused or used to sound competent instead of used to convey actual ideas.

Yeah, we really need to ideate what we can do to move the needle. I mean, really get out of the box and disrupt things, then blitzscale our findings throughout the company to maximize the value.

"I think we need to shift to a zero-trust architecture"
What's that mean? Depends on how much you're paying your consultant.
I genuinely hate LinkedIn and only maintain it for the sake of having an online resume, really
Even my friends who make posts on it have a real saccharine, exhausting tone to their posts because it's the only thing that gets clicks
I'm opening it mostly to see if I get any views in relation to that upcoming interview, and also because one of my contacts from my last job has some genuinely neat work to do with the Kinect and projected/interactive art, but I'll happily stop opening the thing next week
Any LinkedIn post other than "I'm starting a new job!" is going to invariably be completely insufferable
And also imo pointless. What does having a highly visible LinkedIn presence get anyone?
I imagine it gains you name/brand recognition amongst the sort of person who spends a lot of time on LinkedIn.
Personally I try to avoid those people as much as possible but it does exist as a community, I believe largely made up of MBA grads and wannabe entrepreneurs. I assume they're hiring each other all over the place.
(If anyone applying to jobs with me happens to be reading this, note that I never look at your LinkedIn profile unless you didn't include a git repository or personal website on your resume and I'm hunting for some evidence of your coding skills. I'm certainly not going to be reading any of your dang posts).
I get the occasional recruiter ping through LinkedIn, sometimes they're even nearly relevant! So I try to update my profile once per job change, at least.
but as a networking tool it appeals to precisely the kind of people who loooove networking tools, so it's awful.
The only value I have had in it is mostly to track where some of my uni peers have gone, and very rarely be able to use it to ask about company culture at a place for myself/a friend who is applying
I've now had it so long that it takes a few minutes to remember who the hell some of the professional connections are, though
I fought for weeks to get the upgrade I signed for to be the latest greatest beta supported version so we wouldn't have to worry about another major upgrade for a while.
During the process they reversed it back to the soon to be out of date version that they said wasn't even supported on the installed version of windows server.
This was only caught today due to everything else going on. The upgrade was last month.

I look at LinkedIn when people apply as it gives a consistent format for their work and education history over CVs which are more freestyle.

I got flown out to Madrid for a fancy dinner following a recruiter sending me a message on it too. I'd like more of that when flying becomes possible again.

DynagripBreak me a million heartsHoustonRegistered User, ClubPAregular
Interview yesterday went well even though I just presented my portfolio again. They almost immediately asked for my references afterwards, which presumably means an offer is incoming. I'm not as excited about the company as I am about some of my other options. It's really small and the pay would likely be less than ideal for california.
Have another 30 minute phone call with Relativity today. Not really sure what happens after it. Will they want a massive presentation also and a series of 1 on 1 interviews like Blue does? It's fine by me if they do because the presentation was finished this morning. I must say getting less than 3 hours of sleep a night allows for great productivity. I just hope I'm not frying my brain. I feel ok though. I'm lucid and not hypo or anything like that just can barely sleep since my surgery.

LinkedIn is a good career resource and you should have a solid profile up that mirrors your resume. I host my portfolio on mine and list out all of my certifications and Professional Engineer license.

Eh, zero trust is reasonably well defined as a philosophy as it mostly just eliminates automatically trusting intranet resources. Most of these jargon terms have real meaning in domain, it's just tech is so vast and deep now that no one can reasonably keep up.

The only thing worse than impenetrable jargon is trying to simplify language so much that it becomes meaningless as a category.
