My cubicle office job often involves going downstairs to the lab so I can take measurements with equipment far too expensive for me to have at home, and even too expensive for the company to lend out to employees’ home offices.

A lot of return-to-office work is bullshit, but making absolutist blanket statements like that just weakens the argument rather than helping anybody.

They use the same banks as us, they just have a VP’s direct cell number rather than talking to a run-of-the-mill teller during business hours.

JP Morgan didn’t get all their assets by exclusivity serving low net worth individuals.

Mint is a good choice for your first linux.

I have a kid in preschool and honestly I dread the “pledge of allegiance talk” more than most other common “uncomfortable parent conversations”

“Yeah this is bullshit but you WILL be ostracized if you don’t join in. I realized this in middle school and just had to go through the motions for the next 6 years or so but I felt like I was taking crazy pills.”

The most proper use for a Real Book.

Loose leaf tea, re-steeped several times over the course of the day. The caffeine content goes down with each successive stepping, but good quality whole leaves will still let you get several cups out of them.

I stop making it at 3, which usually gives me enough time to metabolize it and sleep normally.

As far as I’m aware, all 50 states let you bring a “cheat sheet” into the Voting booth. Do your research at home at your own pace, write down your choices for each item, and bring that sheet into the booth with you.

I agree that vote by mail should be universal, but lack of it isn’t an excuse to be uninformed at the polls.

I think his implication is that he’ll veto everything, not just let it desk rot.

I hesitate to ascribe any sense of strategy to the guy, but the presidential veto is one of the most direct exercises of power that he has, and this is a guy who salivates at any opportunity to flex whatever power he can.

Yeah, that last point is huge. Bronze weapons and armor were way better than iron weapons and armor, but 500 warriors equipped in iron are better than 50 equipped in bronze.

Sometimes hiring managers aren’t allowed to provide any feedback because it can create legal liability.

But usually they just don’t want to.

Dr Hook and any member of the medical show.

Yeah whining about the exact words she used while ignoring the substance of the memo is exactly the useless purity test that fucks up any attempt at getting real left politics in government.

Keeping it a single state means fewer senators. Not that Canada is like a communist haven or anything, but they’re FAR from our MAGA bullshit and they don’t wanna dilute the power they’ve accumulated in that chamber of congress.

Also, Canada would be the 3rd or 4th highest GDP in the US if it became a single state. California and Texas have it solidly beat. NY is neck and neck with Canada.

The “Don’t talk to me until I’ve had my Clam-o-naise” mug is tempting me.

Not worth it.

It’s almost the absolute worst of humanity made anonymous and public. “Almost” is only there because they will delete blatantly illegal content like cp, but anything else goes. Overt racism becomes normalized because people engage with it so it keeps getting bumped to the top. Some legitimately mean it, some are just trolling for the lolz, but either way it desensitizes people and normalizes the view.

Repeat for any other kind of bigotry or harmful view you can imagine.

In terms of real people behind the accounts

One of the defining features of 4chan is the lack of accounts. Most posts are anonymous. Even harder to tell if someone is human or bot when you can instantly just roll a new anon ID.

“Arch isn’t a difficult distro! All you need to do is run pacman -Syu now and then! Even my grandma could handle it!”

(Which is true until something goes wrong and now you’re way more on the hook to un-fuck the system than just about anything that could ever go wrong on a Debian or Fedora based distro)

Kansas is fucking weird because they do shit like this but also voted to make abortion a constitutional right in the state.

Elves do still experience time, they just don’t quantify it in fractions of a lifetime like mortal races so. Instead they’re like “that was period when I hyper fixated on establishing diplomatic relations between two formally-warring human factions for 300 years” or whatever big project they’re dedicating themselves to at the moment.

1000-2000 years is a lot of time, even if you measure time by extremely long-term, world-shaping projects.

If you’re asking questions like this, you should probably hire an electrician. You can hurt yourself or others in your house if you mess up your grounding.

I don’t know your exact panel but it looks like you’ve mixed up neutral and ground.

Less than half of Americans have a passport, and that’s the only form of national ID we have. We have 50 different state IDs, but iirc only 3 of them show proof of citizenship.
