Buddahriffic , to Work Reform in Nurses with an overbearing manager, how do you pass time at work without getting caught?

I reject the idea that HCW, or any kind of emergency or life support workers for that matter, should be treated like slaves because of the consequences to others if they are treated as fairly as other workers in less urgent lines of work.

I was watching, hoping to see the shadow on the ground. It was too fast to see but I did notice the sky going dark before totality and then lighting up before it ended.

Buddahriffic , to Ask Science in Atapuerca – human cannibalism 1 million years ago: what is known about the evolution of human morality over time into the near current era?

Curiosity about the evolution of morality is not the same as judgement of that morality.

Also, they are dead and wouldn’t be affected by any judgements today anyways.

Al Gore was pretty nerdy, at least as depicted in the South Park documentaries.

Buddahriffic , to Work Reform in Gen Z is unhappier at work than any other generation. Here are the two things they want.

Hell, I think it was boomers, if not the silent generation, who first learned the hard way that company loyalty can screw you. If that shit started in the 80s, it would have caught the silent generation.

The whole generational conflict is just another attempt to divide people so they are less likely to unite effectively against the ones who put their profit ahead of everything and everyone else.

Buddahriffic , to Work Reform in Gen Z is unhappier at work than any other generation. Here are the two things they want.

Yeah, I’m a millennial who has hated those same things since probably around the same time gen Z started joining the workforce. I bet the only real difference is that gen Z didn’t join the workforce with the illusion that it wasn’t so bad because millennials were already talking about it. And gen X cynicism (which is deserved, not trying to open a front in the “generation war” here) likely planted the seed for millennials to notice it.

Buddahriffic , to Home Improvement in Bathroom vent out the side of the house?

I think you’ll have a tough time insulating such a vent so that your bathroom doesn’t end up cold to make up for your attic being less stinky. I don’t see a vent cover that is openable by air pressure being heavy enough to keep the cold from getting in when the fan isn’t on. Though it might help to make the vent push the air downwards so that the cold air would have to creep upwards to get into the bathroom.

I am out of my element for this, however, so this is more advice to look into this angle rather than advising to not do it.

I wonder how hard it would be to set up a machine so that it modifies or melts a USB drive being used like that.

This except instead of going directly through that thought process, one character will say, “I’ve got it! Follow me!” And the chapter ends, followed by a chapter from the pov of every other character who isn’t involved in that discovery.

Buddahriffic , to Work Reform in A Florida restaurant chain says boosting pay and offering better benefits helped it end its labor shortage

And they can earn respect if they use $11.01 instead of $10.99. Though best to round to $11 (unless you guys have done away with pennies like we have in Canada and it’s always rounded to the nearest $.05).

Buddahriffic , to Home Improvement in When someone walks over a certain part of the loft floor, all the smoke alarms in the house beep

As an added hint, your smoke alarms might have something indicating which one specifically set them all off. Mine flashes red from that one every 30 seconds or so until it gets reset.

Buddahriffic , to Seattle in First day of Seattle’s new drug law brings push by police, arrests

There’s more after that ad space.

New law is essentially they can now charge possession or public use as a misdemeanor instead of a felony and are targeting people using in public.

I’m no fan of the war on drugs but I will reserve judgment on this for a later time to see how this goes. Leaning towards not having a problem with it.

Buddahriffic , to Ask Science in Hypothetically speaking, what alterations to our biology/genome would need to occur in order for us to be able to safely drink saltwater?

Diluting it is just undoing the desalination on the water used to dilute it.

Buddahriffic , to Home Improvement in The water from my faucets suddenly smells like stagnant pond water. How can I tell if it's to drink?

Do you have any filters due for a clean or change?

I second the comment about asking your neighbours about it.

Do you have a tap right near the source you can check?

Buddahriffic , to Work Reform in Wreck the economy because it only works for the billionaire class.

With all of the credit balances being carried, I question the whole “people will just wait instead of spending because it will be more financially advantageous”. I’m also not so sure we really need an economic system that encourages and depends on increased consumption. It would be nice if we had a system that could handle inflation, stagnation, and deflation without imploding on itself.

To me, the biggest factor is that it means debt burdens get lighter over time, assuming you are at least covering interest (if not then interest will outpace inflation, though even the growing debt will be cheaper over time vs what it would be without inflation). Oh, also assuming wages match inflation, which is the other big factor. Your employer can save money over time just by being stingy with raises.
