That truck is also raised. I drive a 'normal' size SUV and once drove past one of those raised trucks in a parking lot - its hood was as high as my roof.

I remember Battlefield 2 being a prime example for that. Not only did its performance improve once I added a discrete sound card, it also sounded much better.

rainynight65 , to Ask Lemmy in How to work with someone that regularly arrives as the wrong answer?

Any company with reasonably involved processes (read: more than three steps) should have clearly documented SOPs, policies and process documentation. This has nothing to do with the level people are at. I'm at senior level and sure as shit don't remember every detail of something that was verbally communicated to me months ago unless I do it every single day, and even that's error-prone. I write step by step instructions on processes for myself and everyone else.

Benefits of this approach:

  • It's not stuck in my or anyone else's head, but clearly spelled out
  • people can follow the process again and again, no matter how much time passes between each time - you'd be surprised how much people forget if they don't do something on a daily basis
  • clear documentation removes doubt
  • clear documentation is beneficial to newly onboarded staff. Nobody gives them a half-baked version scraped together from memory fragments
  • people can point out potential issues with the process, and the documentation can be amended/updated
  • I myself can go back to it if I have even the slightest amount of doubt on a detail.

Drawbacks of this approach:

  • someone has to write the document
  • someone has to maintain it
rainynight65 , to Ask Lemmy in Are there any household gadgets you found unexpectedly useful after you'd gotten them?

I have one of those, it's completely useless. It had novelty value but the eggs never came out the way I wanted them. I've gone back to a normal timer.

You don't want beef jerky - Biltong is superior in all aspects.

Sometimes good enough is good enough.

It's ideology over identity with these people. Always and infallibly.

Oh, so she's an 'author' now? I thought she was just a serial shitposter.

Sorry, I absolutely care about proper Ultrawide support. Currently the game is dogshit on an Ultrawide, with interface and mouse input being all kinds of screwy.
