Amazing that on top of everything else renewables are good for, having a decentralized grid which is harder to take down is yet another reason on top.

And yet we’re still burning dinosaur bits

30 minute unpaid (no work legally allowed to be done. if you are still expected to, say, answer calls, then you’d have to be paid for that time) lunch breaks are pretty standard here (I’m in Cincinnati, might be different in other parts of the state)

but there’s absolutely nothing preventing the company from saying “nah you don’t get a break today” unless they restrain THEMSELVES in THEIR policy that THEY write

(Except minors, they are legally required to have a 30 minute break if they work 5 hours or more)

In my state there is no legal requirement for any break whatsoever for adults -_-

If they are offered however, 20 minutes or less are required to be paid, and no matter the amount of time, if you are expected to do anything (answer phones, emails, monitor equipment, etc) then that break must be paid. But when and how long you take a break, if at all, is completely up to the company :(

So if this were in my state, whether this would be allowed or not would be entirely dependent on what company policy on breaks is, and I’m sure they would’ve written that to benefit themselves

They say the windows are the windows into the window, and I can tell you those windows are not empty

An entry for ACHOO syndrome in the National Library of Medicine, by a Laura Dean (I think?) from 2012 claims 1 in 4 people will be pushed over the edge to a sneeze when they already have one on the edge, but “pure” photic sneezing is “far less common” although there is no number given, so I have no idea how rare or common it is to just straight up sneeze from light without already having to sneeze

Either I’ve had a tick for the past 19 years, or its unrelated in my case

As another observer I appreciate you

Only place that shoveled their portion of sidewalk in my small town (~3k people) was the bar and library

Every single time I walk outside, 3 sneezes sometimes more because of the sun. Although I’ve never met somebody else who does the same

We should be fearful that this might happen, but it shouldn’t be taken as a foregone conclusion. Something like that might happen, which only means we should be prepared for it

Bold of you to assume Elon needs a reason to be a bastard

But hey, you go from having to pay 20 lifetimes worth of crippling debt to only 5 lifetimes worth of crippling debt, look on the bright side

Switched to Mint recently and had 0 problems, took no effort to make the switch at all. I still have Windows if I need it, but why would I ever need it, Mint isn’t all that different from Windows, but better

Chobblesome

That phrase has been forever tainted, no matter the gravity of the topic I can’t not think of those fucking bean people

The hierarchy means little if the common soldiers agree and band together. They’re the ones with the guns.

The stealthiest way to bomb somebody is to go directly at them of course

A helping of lasagna would also fit imo, but it is just pasta cake so slice would be most fitting I think
