You would think it would be easier for Canadians to get sponsorship in c/webdev

Immigration is very difficult, time consuming and expensive. Hiring someone already in the country is easy, quick and free.

Yeah, disabled people should just stay home and leave enjoying nature to the rest of us.

A New Jersey city that limited street parking hasn’t had a traffic death in 7 years in c/[email protected]

I can absolutely see how removing street parking increases visibility and decreases accidents. Too many times I have to pull out into a road almost blind because my line of sight to traffic is blocked by an enormous SUV / pickup until I am partly in the intersection.

100kg person is 80kg water -> 20kg not water

For them to be 90% water -> 20kg not water of a total of 200kg -> 180kg water

180kg water after drinking - 80kg water before drinking = 100kg water must be consumed

It’s No Surprise That “Skills-Based” Hiring Has Not Worked in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago (2 children)

I currently work at a business that uses a similar method to the probationary period, and I hate it. It’s definitely one of those things that sounds good on paper, but in practice I would love to move away from.

We use a proprietary system in my field, and train a couple of members of each department to be able to submit stuff into it (think Concur / NetSuite). It takes about three months to become proficient enough that I don’t have some form of issue with everything you submit. This means I can spend months training someone, just for them to be let go and the next person roll in.

Training people is expensive in both cash for the business and the time of those around them. Hiring correctly once would make my life a lot easier.

The myth of being 'non-political' in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 12 points 8 months ago (1 children)

For me it is a lie, I do care about politics, but I don’t discuss it with friends or family. Feigning ignorance is the easiest way out. I’ve been the third wheel in a 'discussion' where two people argue politics and it's not a nice position.

Thanks for sharing, this was a wonderful story.

Please don’t, there are enough paranoid nutjobs on Lemmy as it is

I have been feeling a bit down lately, how was your week? in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago (2 children)

The good: I just signed a new lease in a city I have always wanted to live in, so it’s moving time

The bad: I hit an enormous raccoon which cracked my bumper and have to take my car in for repairs today on my lunch break
