Thus converting a workforce of poorly paid fast food employees into one of highly paid utility workers.

hmm. I prefer to live by “I’ve cut it three times and it’s still too short”

And the rest of the time it shouldn’t just be choice of locking them in a room vs entertaining them. Just include them in whatever you were going to do anyway. Cleaning the house? Kid gets a small/toy broom. Laundry? Kid carries empty baskets or something. Holding wrenches or flashlights for repairs is traditional.

None of these things will make the tasks go faster, of course, but the child is occupied and learning to be helpful, and you aren’t driving yourself crazy trying to run a household and entertain them 24/7 at the same time.

If the earth isn’t flat, how can there be flat-earthers?

Race can be pseudo-scientific bullshit, and still have a bunch of racists around. The idea of race is, at its core, a racist idea.

And this was required because the SR-71 started flying in 1966, and the first GPS satellite didn’t launch until 1978. The full GPS constellation wasn’t finished until 1990.

Even corporations that are cooperatives? Municipalities are corporations (in my country). Are they bastards? How about corporations that are wholly government owned? The USSR was full of those.

Altruistically? Rosneft, the largest oil company in Russia. Help climate change and cripple Putin’s war machine in one go.

For me? Central Square, purveyors of shitty enterprise software.

Not at all. The Conservative Party (like all parties) have regular party conventions. They can conduct a leadership review at the convention and start the process to replace the leader at that time.

A1 has a direct drive extruder. It does function as kind of a hybrid thing with the AMS though. Use of the AMS with TPU isn’t recommended, but there are a couple of harder TPU filaments that supposedly work.

If you remember navigating with a compass and map, GPS is goddamned magical.

Anyone with less capabilities of a medium sized nation-state will not be able to “just smash” an AWS datacenter.

Guy tried to enlist the boss’s brother in law to falsify work. “We don’t have to walk all the way up the mountainside to do the work, the client will never check it”. Then he went home, leaving said brother in law to do all the work by himself.

A week after getting fired, he called the boss about the performance bonus that was promised at the start of the contract.

My first vehicle was a 1971 Ford 3/4 ton. It was extremely reliable and tough. Having sat for most of the previous 30 years in a barn, it even looked good.

But it had all of the safety features of 1971. Power brakes the would lock up and throw you off the road if you more than thought about braking. Lap belts and a solid steel steering wheel to smash your teeth on. If you somehow hit the steering wheel hard enough to break it, you’d be impaled on the steel pipe steering column. Speaking of the steering, it didn’t have power steering, so if you hit a rut on a rough road, the steering wheel would spin out of control. You had to just let go of it until it stopped spinning lest it break your thumbs. Also, the gas tank was inside the cab behind the seat for extra car crash fun.

It was a beautiful death trap. I kinda wish I could have put it back into a barn for another 30 years instead of selling it.

Well that’s just lying be omission. Lots of people were disabled or disfigured too.

Also, unless you’re one of those people who legitimately doesn’t care if food tastes good or not, learn to cook. You don’t have to be good a cooking everything, but develop a repertoire of food that is healthy and you like to eat.

The age where you could depend on a wife to be a good cook for you are long past.

Your ideas are intriguing to me, and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

Like most of Microsoft’s more odious features, this one can be turned off through GPO/Intune policy across an organization. As such, the liability will mostly fall on the organization to make sure it’s off. The privacy and security impacts will be felt by individuals and small businesses.

They claim that the data is only stored locally, so far. We’ll see, I guess.

Many people who aren’t vegan still choose free range eggs, organic beef, fair trade coffee and chocolate.

The 500 mile diet is absolutely a moral choice, even if it includes meat.

Albertans preferentially eating large amounts of Alberta beef is viewed as a virtue there. Veganism is viewed as immoral, unalbertan (amongst some communities).

Furries, to be sure, but atheists?
