It’s business hours Tue-Fri. Sounds like the volunteer isn’t for unpaid work, but for volunteering to do this instead of their normal duties for the week.

Tho I’m sure they’ll get dinged on their performance review if their regular work output reduces, so I’m guessing they will end up needing to put on unpaid hours to compensate.

McDonald’s STILL has newspapers sitting in a rack next to the counter where I am. Growing up these places had magazines and newspapers available to read. People “back then” didn’t just randomly talk to strangers, they just kept themselves busy with other things.

Yes, there’s a problem with people not interacting physically anymore, but it’s not cause we have electronics, it’s cause people don’t have a place to go outside the home anymore. This is a problem with a lack of community centers and walk-able neighborhoods, not a problem with phones.

With how much he loves the letter, I’m shocked he didn’t call it the X party.

I hear he loves history too, so maybe the History X party. I guess he should include the America part so people know which side he’s on.

The “American History X” party sounds about right for him.

I develop infrastructure automation for one of the world’s largest private computer clusters.

I do it almost exclusively in Vim with command line git.

I’m the most productive member of my team.

At a certain point you’re responsible for a person, and not hosting a mass of cells. If the fetus is viable, then abortion is essentially the same as delivery, and you’re looking at adoption instead of abortion.

I’m sure there’s edge cases that I’m not thinking of, and I’m perfectly willing to admit I’m wrong, but it seems to me that if the fetus is viable, then there’s not much difference between a human that’s inside the body or outside.

Abortion legal until viability should be the standard everywhere. That being said, the line is still a little blurry, as your local resources may be able to manage an earlier term pregnancy than one in another area.

Curious how the wording defines that date.

Racist people be like…

New guy at work ran this to try to fix permissions on his home folder, accidentally ran it on root (both would have been bad)

Several highly paid and experienced Linux admins finally just gave up and deleted the server and built a new one from the backups.

Get two external hard drives and swap them into a fire safe occasionally.

That way if there’s a need to evacuate you can just grab the fire safe and run.

Inspections won’t help if the problems are inside the walls.

Yes you want independent inspections, but there’s only so much they can find, even with the best inspection.

Shit, that’s some movie level rescue.

Backed his truck up the building so the guy could jump out of a three story window without having to jump to the pavement.

Perfect bystander rescue. Did exactly what was needed to save a life, but not endanger himself or make the situation worse for anyone.

Love to see the quick thinking.

It’s literally brought up in the video. Watch it before commenting.

Watch the video, it’s more complicated than that from a legal aspect.

This guy is on your side, but knows the law backwards and forward on the subject.

If a pistol needs an external safety, it’s a failed design. The law is correct in that specific instance.

I would love to get some real testing and a true answer about what the problem is. Unfortunately, Sig seems like it just keeps getting shielded from having to show what the issues are.

10 years in jail is what’s stopping them.

It’s REALLY hard to create a dead man’s switch that works, but also leaves no trace. Even if you delete the script after it executes, there’s probably backups or logs that show what happened.

Well, guess they’re going to be held to the higher legal standards of the UCMJ now.

I think that has more to do with safety laws and emission standards than anything else. How can you properly crash test a fully modular car?

I’d love it if cars were more repairable, but modular would be a really tough design problem.

Heck, you NEED a screen in the US on any car due to backup cameras being mandatory. If you need a screen, I can see why companies would just use it for the infotainment system.

Twice yearly shot? Yup, sign me up.

As a medical provider, I’ll probably be required to get it.

I’m not sure what you mean by this. Any modern US house would have a similar capability, it’s just older homes that would struggle since there would never be a need for such high power devices in a garage.

Most older garages would only need enough power to run a single lightbulb, if it was slightly newer, maybe a low power automatic garage door opener.

It’s the same in any country with buildings over 100 years old.
