I once applied for a job at a plasma donation center. They keep their sample freezers at -40°. During the interview process the hiring manager was going over basic info for the job and when they went over the freezer they said “And we keep the freezer at -40°C. I don’t know what it is in F though.” I then explained that they’re the same at -40° and that’s why their job posting doesn’t list the unit. They then acted like I was incredibly stupid and told me that “no, there’s a formula to figure it out. I don’t remember the formula but theyre definitely not the same” I didn’t feel the need to argue the point further so I just dropped it and moved on.

I never got a call back from them. I’m 90% sure that’s why I didn’t get the job since Before that point they were telling me how they thought I’d be great manager material.

I still get mad every time I think about it. Jokes on them though. I since learned they were a terrible employer. I got a way better job than that place like a week later.

Isn’t life expectancy in the US lowering though?

And they were thoroughly blasted I’m sure.

I wonder if this is the impotus for that recent announcement that they’re going to start supporting the pc vr games with the headset.

While I do understand the sentiment that consoles are more convenient than PCs, there’s nothing stopping you from using a PC as if it’s a console. I game on PC 99% of the time, I almost never play with KB+M, and my PC is connected to my 55’’ LG C2 in my living room right alongside my ps5. This obviously doesn’t stop you from having to deal with dumb pc troubleshooting if you want to do one of the miriad of goofy ass things PCs can do with some technical know how on your part. But if you’re just going to be buying modernish games on steam I don’t think you’re experience is going to be all that different from gaming on a console. It’s just a different box running a different OS that isn’t tightly controlled (from a storefront perspective) by Sony.

Plus you get the benefit of playing games from basically every generation of gaming on one box.

You’re assuming these people believe we even send things to space. I had a serious ass conversation recently with my father’s roommate. Typical conspiracy theorist ding dong. Full on flat earther and everything. I asked him how he thinks GPS works if the earth was flat. He admitted he didn’t know but then when I started to explain how it works by pinging satellites we put up in space he cut me off and said space isn’t real. Like legitimately thinks space isn’t real. He on a separate occasion also complained that we didn’t need to wear masks during covid because we apparently make our own viruses in our bodies and viruses don’t spread between people.

These people don’t even understand how logic works. Let alone that people could be smarter than they are.
