Us:

Ours tried to explain to project leaders that employees are not mostly interested in their salary, but in praise. That went over well.

some would try to appear “we are family” to retain employees

Nope. Rule of acquisition 111. They claim that everyone is part of a happy family because family is easiest to exploit.

Did not cry exactly but… if you are like me and you like Babylon 5, do not check up on the cast.

Fucking assholes. From what is known about their sex test, it is similarly scientific to the “I know it when I see it” rule from the 1960s to determine if something is obscene. In other words, utter bullshit.

And all of this pretending to care about women while at the same time you have abuse scandals in sports every five minutes that never seem to have real consequences or result in positive change for the athletes.

Yeah, I don’t believe you one bit when you say you want to protect women.

Is it going to be called “Running Man”?

Most Americans lean liberal, not leftist.

Seems to me the evidence is in that it’s neither the one nor the other for the majority.

German poet and playwright Berthold Brecht once said something to the effect that only the dumbest calves choose their own butcher.

Dear US,

Fuck you.

Signed, Europe.

Was there on business, visiting a factory of a large vehicle manufacturer, down in the south east. My god these people were nice. There was a guy who made sure we had everything we needed to get our work done, who would literally jump and run if we needed anything. There were people bringing us mini choco croissants for meetings. They always invited us for lunch and paid for it. There was always coffee for us if we needed it. We had desks to work on, which is a rarity in a factory environment, but they made it possible.

The best part was when we were standing at the line with a special piece of equipment that we had brought, and a guy stopped and said “hey, that looks interesting, what’s it for?” - and then we chatted about that for five minutes, eventually realizing it was time for a meeting. For both of us. Five minutes later, it turns out the guy who casually talked to us tech people was actually the head of their corporate IT. You wouldn’t have been able to tell that he was some higher up because he was so down to earth and friendly and casual. They all were. It was a mighty pleasure working with them.

I think it was voice activated.

Well it is sound activated, it flushes when it detects the “aaaaaaaaaah” sound of relief after refuse vacation has completed.

If there is no such sound, obviously your work is not done, and there is no need to flush.

Was it Luke Skyvvalker or Ham Solo?

Packaging said dishwasher safe.

Maybe they meant the packaging was dishwasher safe 🤔

As a long time C/C++ developer, I think it has a lot of really great ideas. The one thing preventing me from using it a lot more is that there is no stable ABI that would allow to use shared libraries in Rust - everything is statically linked, and if I use the same crates in a number of programs, the same code exists in each of these programs. That is not really a good thing whne you try to develop for a system with very limited space and where program load times make a difference, such as for certain embedded platforms.

But honestly, Rust support in the Linux kernel? Java never got that far, nor any other language (apart from C, obviously).

That’s always been “free” as in “market”.

You people really need to go and build a third party, one that actually is everything the republicans accuse the democrats of being.

Oh my. If Canada were to join the European Union, as well, we would have to rename the currency to “Euro Dollars”, or “Eddies” for short.

I think those Teslas spontaneously incinerated themselves out of embarassment.

Oh, we can all egg you.

The news tomorrow:

Trump levies devastating 100% tarrifs on imports of consumer electronics and cars from Russia.
