do no harm

you must be from a parallel timeline friendo. in this reality, google promised ‘don’t be evil’, then trashed that.

I remember those days, lived through them.

it doesn’t change the crux; you turned it on briefly and supposed can identify which one it was because it got HOT. this would not occur with LED lighting; only incandescent would get warm enough fast enough to maaaaybe work in this setting.

DO NO HARM is the oath medical professionals take, aka they hippocratic oath. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hippocratic_Oath

LGBTQ rights in China are… complicated. LGBTQ rights aren’t spelled out, leaving things ambiguous - but no same sex marriage, no pride orgs shut down, lots of workplace aggression and discrimination with no protections at all… homosexuality is decriminalized but there’s no trans rights. so yeah, that could be better.

social credit scores are downright orwellian - they experimented with these in some cities in the 2010-2020 decade but t hen nationalized all the private solutions they tried… not sure even they know if they want to continue but - hypothetically - anyone can report you for… anything that disturbs the peace or what the ccp thinks is the ideal order - your social credit score gets dinged, then you could have trouble with all kinds of stuff - make it harder receive loans, obtain a visa for travel, etc.

compared to us credit scores, it’s probably not that big of a deal (we let three companies decided who gets loans for houses, based on… voodoo afaik. the way credit scores are compiled is pretty opaque).

actually not really - hot specifies HOT; if it were room temp, warm, warmer than another that sat unused - sure. but you’re only flipping it on for a short time. HOT?

it’s pedantic, but parsing is important here because some HR shitwad decided these silly stupid games were a valid hiring method on filtering pedants apparently

this is why we need to educate people. it does require a certain level of trust in the system to accept a shot will prevent your kid from dying of measles or whooping cough. a system that also conducted the heinous Tuskegee Syphilis Study, then never held those same criminals or the decision makers accountable for their crimes.

governments do thousands of things; not every single one is predicated on evil intentions, many, probably most, are for the good of their people. think running water and sewage. think power and roads.

sometimes they go fuckbrained. which is why we need whistleblowers, accountability, CONSEQUENCES, etc.

fuck 'em, don’t invite 'em. worked for us.

yeah the entire concept for this article barely worked in 2017. Now?

you think they’re getting invited at all? pfft

35ish percent still support trump. that’s the segment you’ll see come out against ‘socialism’ - the rest of us just want system that work and aren’t hung up on silly exceptions. and that 35ish percent will find ANYTHING to piss and moan about, so don’t bother trying to bring them along, leave them to their fates.

yeah silly games for bored hiring managers

note the premise specifies HOT.

none of my LED bulbs get hot even after hours. they do warm up from ‘cold’ but HOT?

ymmv.

if the bulb is hot

if hot they’re using out of date lighting, who the fuck uses incandescent bulbs this far into the 21st century? they have failed their interview with me.

depressingly plausible take.

TY. Appreciate the insight.

I’ve considered re-reading the dragonlance books on a few occasions but worry my fond memories are mostly nostalgia and not genuine worth… or worth trying to get one of the kids into…

I seem to recall legend of huma was baller, but again not sure if that’s real or just memories of a happier time…

would this even work in dc? the water table is so high, one of the reasons they didn’t build a more extensive bunker complex in the 50s it’s impractical to build anything and then keep it from flooding.
