If you'll find for course you don't get given notice. If somebody is breaking the rules and being dangerous you don't want them hanging around for another 2 weeks you want them gone now.

If it's a layoff then yeah you get notice

It's more to do with the fact that we've paved over every permeable surface with concrete, be it for cars, buildings, walkways.

We need to stop doing that. Focusing on cars exclusively as the problem rather than the problem being an urban design one in general side steps the actual issue.

If a tree folds in the forest and there's no one there to hear it does it make a sound?

For this experiment scientists recruited Gilbert, no one really pays much attention to him, and it's assumed the universe won't either.

I always assumed it was the tolerated limit for EQ.

The M2 macbook air now starts at $1000 for 16GB RAM and 256GB storage. Limited storage aside, that's surprisingly competitive with most modern Windows laptops.

What do you mean limited storage aside?

If we disregard the fact that it's terrible value for money, it's a good deal. No laptop sold in 2025 and costing over a grand, should have anything less than a terabyte.

It's really stupid because all it will result in is Laborer raising taxes on the rich. Which presumably the rich didn't want to happen.

He's not exactly thinking several moves ahead here is he.

My understanding is that this is actually a completely different black hole to the one we already know about.

We already know there's 22 billion missing, apparently this is a totally different bunch of missing money.

In my experience this is always a fiddly experience because the NFC reader is on the back of the phone and they always hand it to you, screen up.

If they just turned it upside down it would work so much better.

How do I know that the soldiers get Windows laptops?

Because they do? They get Windows laptops. They don't get Linux laptops.

If it's on YouTube then it's a scam, spaceX don't have a YouTube channel, I assume for some stupid petty musk reason.

I'm going to bore him to death.

Now watch, as I open Netflix, scroll around for a bit, don't click on anything, close Netflix, open YouTube look at some channels, don't watch anything, close YouTube, open Netflix again, still nothing, close Netflix, fuck it, I'll watch Stargate again on DVD.

Every person I have ever met that uses an iMac for the first time naturally assumes that the Apple icon is the power button. Fact that it isn't the power button is utterly idiotic

 

When you reveal a spoiler the black rectangles go away and it then renders the text in white, but on a white background (light coloured theme) The text renders is exactly the same colour as the background and so you can not see it unless you highlight the post, this renders the background of the post as light grey and there is just about enough contrast difference to now read the text.

When spoiler text is revealed it should render in the same colour as normal text. I'm not sure why it's white.

See images below for demonstration.

spoiler text is hidden

spoiler text has been revealed but is invisible

text post is highlighted and now you can see the spoiler text rendered in white
