@foone I had no idea that was even a thing. I’ve only ever seen manual opening for power outages (saw your other comment on this).

@nixCraft Reverse hiring? Is that a term?

Don’t let this become a trend.

“Hey for $5000/months we’ll give you a position at Awesome Startup you can put on your résumé to get a real job!”

@Gargron It’s unfortunate, but as an American I say open it. Let others purchase things, and have a banner for Americans to know there will be delays if they order.

We understand. All the major shippers here (UPS, FedEx, USPS) are warning people of the same thing. It’s not your fault.

@foone What do you do with all of them? Destroy them? Use them for your projects? Just put them in a drawer as souvenirs?

@nixCraft Personal Racoon, for when you need help collecting garbage from garbage cans walking down the street.

@nixCraft GNUbies?

@nixCraft they’re 10x the size of a regular engineer, enabling them I assert dominance in code reviews when truly necessary.

Think Andre the Giant, but way bigger.

@nixCraft Honestly I was pretty amazed when I found out this was allowed/tolerated last year. I assumed they would have done this long long ago.

@nixCraft 4MB. Later upgraded to 8 so I could play SimCity 2000.

@nixCraft I hate it.

I celebrate July 22nd. That’s good enough for me.
