Is it "asfasfasdfasfdasdfasfasfasfsadffffffffffffffffffffasdfsfsafsfdwfgasdgbdfbgdsgasdgdsbdb"?

In my province in Canada (Quebec) some IT worker in the government made a template .doc document that's widely used. They exported it with the document title "sdf fdsfdsfg". This title isn't in the actual printed document but it's in the metadata. If you Google that string in quotes you'll find tons of official documents with that title. https://www.google.com/search?q=%22Sdf+fdsfsdfg%22

To avoid accidentally sending an email in Outlook, I once learned a useful trick: add a nonexistent email address, like sdfsdf to the To or CC field. Email would not be sent until you removed it. Lo and behold, one day I entered sdfsdfsdf, and it resolved. Someone of course was using this as a test group name.

I don't know what to make of the fact that they haven't taken it down yet. Do they not know its posted? Surely someone informed them. Maybe they not know how to delete a post, cause its not in their documentation? Or they simply do not care.

The page 404s for me. I only saw the posted version through the archive link someone shared.

Yeah, when I made the comment, the post was up for over 12 hours.

40 hours a week is less than they ask of factory workers? Yeesh. Even with fancy robots etc they can't make it work on an 8 hour shift?

Oh wow. I seriously considered working at comma (the company I believe George Hotz is referencing in that post) once. After reading "[Elon Musk] […] had all the same ideas as me", I feel like I dodged a bullet.

Why "asdf..." and not "jkl;..." I wonder? Is it because more people are right-handed and their right hand is presumably on a mouse or coffee mug or something like that?

As a left handed mouse user i can confirm, mashing keys is uiop and jklñ etc

no love for QWOP

My order is, and has been for decades: foo, bar, baz... and then I don't know anymore and make stuff up.

quux is my go-to after baz, sometimes I'll throw in a frob for good measure...

foo, bar, baz, quux, fleem ... then I get stuck.

Well, more usually, then I ask myself wtf I'm doing that needs that many metasyntactic variables and try and figure out an approach that doesn't.

(I have no idea whatsoever where I got fleem from anymore)

How do people with elderly parents, or young kids or other responsibilities outside of work deal with such awful schedules?

Yet these leaders sit on Twitter all day engaging in petty nonsense, but demand 12 hr days from workers. How productive are they during those 12 hrs?
