zeppo , to Star Trek in Let's remember some Star Trek games

I spent way too much time on Trexels for a while… silly little mobile resource management game. It became more ridiculous when I figured out you could cheat by changing the clock on your phone.

Would argon work?

I think it could work? Not really sure. Probably sound enough scientifically for a 1st gen Star Trek episode.

Sure, I understand it’s one of the 3 basic plant fertilizers and plays a role in human biology. I’m referring nitrogen as a gas and its role in human respiration. It’s commonly referred to as an inert gas. I think that mainly refers to respiration and combustion.

I suppose because we don’t really use the nitrogen - it’s inert, unlike oxygen which is part of vital respiration. I’m no expert but it’s conceivable some other mix of gases could work as the inert portion besides nitrogen, but oxygen is required. Seems like it would take a lot of luck to find the right concentration though.

Is there some threat to the worlds supply of atmospheric nitrogen?

zeppo , to Work Reform in A Florida restaurant chain says boosting pay and offering better benefits helped it end its labor shortage
@zeppo@lemmy.world avatar

Wow, I wonder how they thought of that. You mean there’s actually an ability for hospitality workers to negotiate for better pay and conditions? I guess we’ve already seen the CEO and stockholder class kicking up a fuss and insulting the crap out of labor with the “nobody wants to work anymore” bullshit and various propaganda.

zeppo , to Work Reform in Slavery was abolished, so the rich are now trying to make economic oppression the equivalent of slavery.
@zeppo@lemmy.world avatar

Yep, all of this “inflation” and “rising cost of housing” bullshit is essentially wealthy people turning the screws. They know regular people can barely make this work, and they love that.

I’m pretty sick of this “we had to jack up prices due to inflation! Oh, also we just made record profits” bullshit as well. It’s price gouging, squeezing everything they can out of consumers, and that’s it.
