And then some tax haven country will offer a tiny tax of 0.01% on a super specific kind of "investment", just to ensure its local lawyers and accountants stay employed by offering "investment consultancy" services to the rich.

If you don't use Bing with Edge, Microsoft will tell you your computer needs repairing.

They are not wrong.

To mend your machine:

  1. Ditch Windows
  2. Install Plasma
  3. Your computer is ready.

It’s “Facebook for jobs”, after all, no wonder it’s such a pile of hot garbage

What liquids have the lowest refraction?

Asking this because I’ve been thinking about resin printing and how a small layer of said liquid could, in theory, be used to make the prints faster and negate any problems regarding the FEP film (which can wrinkle, tear and be a hassle to clean when small pieces are stuck to it). The ideal liquid would have to be:...

Mercury? Isn’t it opaque and fully reflective? Or does UV light pass through it?

For initial testing, the FEP would remain, but as this liquid would theoretically not stick to the resin, the FEP would remain intact, pretty much eliminating risks that have anything to do with it.

I have seen something like this before, but it uses two different lightwaves in order to make the denser liquid remain inert, so it’s impossible to try it with consumer printers.

Workers aren’t grasping the managerial challenges of leading a remote workforce.

Cry me a fucking river

Each year, the average American spends nearly $8,500 and 239 hours traveling to and from work, per data from Clever Real Estate.

One could argue that’s “good” because it makes the wheel of economy turn. Gas pollution alone would make me say this is bad for all involved (except oil companies and their shareholders, but they can go fuck themselves)

Still, though, WFH Research also finds that fully remote work is associated with 10% to 20% lower productivity than fully in-person work [<- link to the research paper, go to page 10]. Barrero explained the disparity to Fortune in July: “In many of the studies we cite and in some of our own survey evidence, workers often get more done when remote simply because they save time from the daily commute and from other office distractions. This can make them look more productive on a ‘per day’ basis, even if it means they’re actually less productive on a ‘per hour’ basis.”

There’s no reason to “go above and beyond” when you’re in the comfort of your home. It’s why perceived “per hour” productivity drops. Besides, nobody actually works 8 hours straight, there are several pauses, even in an office or factory. We’re not robots.

When that commute is eliminated, they view it as a productivity increase. Employers, naturally, instead see it as less bang for their buck.

“You’ll waste precious hours of your day and you WILL LIKE IT, WAGESLAVE!”

Challenges in communicating remotely and lack of motivation are the main issues preventing fully remote workers from being more productive

Good luck motivating me to waste 2h every day without any raise or compensation in order to be “more productive in the office”

Hey, it’s free weight that’ll keep increasing with time, making you stronger in the long term!

Of course they don’t starve, they’re often the cause, or accessory to said implosions, and governments are all too happy to bail them out of their bullshit while telling people to suck it up and go back to work.

I vote for wrecking the rich’s yachts. There’s even a great capitalist reason to do it: the companies that build them might make new sales! Win-win!

Don’t forget this step:

write a book on how the poor can get rich like you (by selling your book to other suckers)

The only thing I wish TNG did from the get go, or kept from season 2 onwards, was Dr. Pulaski. She was simply a much better character and doctor than Crusher, she fit in with the rest of the crew much better as well.

It’s one of the reasons I’ve taken a liking to Diogenes’ Cynicism, seeing past the “social norms” and dumb social organization ideas humans come up with.

I hope Universal is on the hook for replacing it.

Considering the first fine, I fully expect the second one to be a grand total of tree fiddy

Don’t forget the endless money spent on propaganda, convincing people that companies are good and everyone fighting for workers’ rights are evil, painting the latter as greedy and corrupt assholes with subversive intents
