that's what a sea urchin looks like after it's been out of the water. They unroll so they can get back to the ocean.

@DemBoSain@midwest.social avatar

If you pull air from the basement, it's going to get replaced with warmer, wetter air from upstairs. As it cools the air is going to deposit that water on the coolest surfaces. You might be trading this problem for another, more damaging one.

I'm kinda interested in what Mars would look like with all that water. Small northern ocean, or small southern continent?

DemBoSain OP , to Work Reform in FTC Non-compete rule published in Federal Register
@DemBoSain@midwest.social avatar

I've already had this argument with people I work with. It doesn't matter if a non-compete is enforceable or not. They're meant to demoralize and demotivate employees so they stay with the company at low pay. Someone that has just lost their job isn't going to risk a potentially life-destroying lawsuit.

I know they would sue, because the process is the goal, and they have deeper pockets than I do.

DemBoSain OP , to Work Reform in FTC Non-compete rule published in Federal Register
@DemBoSain@midwest.social avatar

The company I work for lost a MAJOR customer last fall. Management panicked, and rushed everyone to sign a non-compete agreement. Only after getting all the agreements signed did they let everyone know what had happened, and that there would be massive layoffs.

Fucking psychos had just gone through a huge hiring phase. Some new employees had only been there a matter of months before finding out they would lose their job, and wouldn't be able to get a new one in the same industry unless they waited two years.

It hasn't been published yet. The Federal Register lags behind real life by a few days. Probably on Friday, or possibly early next week.

I read that as “Scourge of Stocks”, and was left wondering what this good boy had done to upset Wall Street.

DemBoSain , to Ask Science in If you have some cold water evaporating, is it possible to make it evaporate sooner by adding hot water?
@DemBoSain@midwest.social avatar

No. Unless that hot water is very, very hot vapor, you’re just adding more mass that’s going to be cooled by the original cold water. And even with vapor, the heat transfer between a hot gas and cool liquid just doesn’t happen fast enough, the vapor will be in the atmosphere before the water heats up very much.

Is that a page-feed scanner? Anyone that hands me a sheet of paper had better realize it’s going to sit on my desk until the end of the day, and then get dumped in the recycling.
