Unity, Google, Discord. All within a day or two of each other.

For every number of employees laid off, a VP level employee must be fired. Those employees didn't hire themselves. Someone came up with the idea.

If companies don't do this they're not attacking the root of the problem.

So what pisses me off in these cases is this: they didn't contribute with the data. They're a convenient aggregator, I give them that, but the data came from third parties. If you want to start charging for convenient access to the data you should at least make all data before you started charging available in a bulk download for free.

We should make sure it's also unconstitutional to block guns at:

• Courthouses
• GOP conventions
• Political rallies
• NRA conventions

It's a bit more complicated than that, unfortunately.

What happens when Microsoft adds something to their web building tools that forces all visitors to websites using these tools to use IE? Or when your bank (or even worse, utilities) start requiring Windows and IE?

These people are a bunch of complete idiots.

Of all the ways to force compliance into someone, they think an authoritarian government would choose to force masks? This is dumb beyond imagination.

So what's the problem? They're blaming her for keeping up-to-date on topics she was teaching.

Good news everyone! It's time to present my newest invention: a solar powered CO2 scrubber! To activate it, just throw a few of these small seeds on the ground and wait a few years.

Another useless key? Use Scroll lock or SysRq for that. Or even better, reuse that stupid "menu" key. They'll cram one more key to the left of the spacebar and make ctrl, alt, and windows keys smaller. Or change their order.

What a silly post...

First, where are you going to find a 8% treasury bond? Even a few months ago, when they were giving record yields, it didn't even get close to that.

Second, if you borrow $3m with high interest rates (needed to get high yield treasurys) you'll also pay a high rate on your loan. Duh.

That's what happens when you have hooves instead of feet.

Karen nation!

I can't for the life of me understand how these people think. A no vote for Biden is a vote for Trump. Simple as that. Now I'm not excited about Biden but I prefer Biden 100x over Trump and the right wing Christian militia.

It's a choice between someone who will slap you in the face and someone who will shoot you in the groin.

LOL! I was born on 4/20 too (and so was Hitler, btw ☹️)

Don't forget quicksand... I spent all my childhood afraid of falling into it. Somehow it was an unwarranted concern.

It's almost midnight. You just got out of your job, a restaurant in a somewhat seedy location in old downtown. You leave through the backdoor into an alley and suddenly notice you're not alone. The metal door just closed shut behind you.

You look to your right. There's a guy with a knife. He's looking at you and smiling in a weird manner. He starts walking towards you menacingly.

You look to your left. There's a well known old drunk there. He smells bad and likes to hug people who are passing by. If you go that way, you will be hugged by him.

What do you do?

If you go right, you'll get stabbed and killed. If you do nothing and stay put, you'll get stabbed and killed. If you go left, you will be hugged by the stinky guy. It's disgusting and not ideal, but you'll not be stabbed and survive.

What do you choose?

I see people all the time with the dumbest arguments to not vote. "He's not progressive enough", or "he's part of the system", or even "he didn't do enough for X" (insert your favorite minority here).

It's all true. But the universe is not a perfect or ideal place. Not voting for the imperfect guy gets us a true horrible alternative. It's a choice between bad and awful.

Please vote bad and keep the awful away.

I had a really insecure young manager who was almost half my age. Guy was a chickenshit. One day, while he was out, we reorganized our desks so that we'd not have our backs to the hallway. Instead, we turned our desks 180 degrees so that our backs were to the wall. He came around and said "well, this layout is not in accordance with the open office rules". I paused for a second, looked at him and replied "Oh really? No shit! How cute..." And proceeded to ignore him solemnly.

He didn't do shit. Was eventually let go for complete incompetence and negative reviews from every single one of his employees.

They obviously never learned the three things in life you don't fuck with:

• Mother Nature
• Mother-in-laws
• Motherfucking Ukrainians

If they really want me to install a heat pump, please go knock some heads at PG&E. 30 cents per KWh makes it really hard.

Phew. For a second there I thought the book would be about Bluetooth in Linux.
