Confused nation could have sworn Jared Leto was already a convicted sex offender…

There is an American subculture teaching and using ISO 8601; the US military. They don’t call it that, but I learned later that’s what it is. They enforce YYYY-MM-DD on all documents.

This is becoming more common in a variety of jobs. I work in tech, and have heard from colleagues about their experiences with nanny software. Without a union, your best bet is malicious compliance. I would start looking for hacker communities and posting there, because there can be simple but non-obvious ways to circumvent controls while still seeming to comply, which protects your job.

I recently found out my municipality does not add flouride to most of our water, because it’s naturally flouridated enough already to meet the recommended amount.

Goddamn it media, stop calling it deportation! Kidnapping, rendition, disappearing, gulaging, take your pick.

“An interceptor was launched toward the missile, and the missile was most likely successfully intercepted,” the Israeli military said.

Are they…not sure?

Goodnight everybody!

Flamethrowers are organic, right?

Stragglers + strangers = stranglers?

I doubt that the threat of suing the government would make him change; after all, it won’t be paid out of his pocket. But if the families were being inundated by offers of attorneys to represent them in a civil suit against RFK Jr himself…

I’ve always preferred the IPCC terminology of “low-carbon”. Emphasizes that all power sources have carbon and other emissions at some point in their lifecycle. They also levelize the emissions based on energy produced over the expected lifespan of the power generation station/solar panel/dam/wind turbine/etc, and nuclear power is down there with solar, wind, geo, and hydro. Waste must be dealt with, and the best disposal method is reprocessing so you don’t have to store it.

Nuclear semiotics is fascinating. I was very excited when I came across the Federal Disposal Field in Fallout 76 and found that Bethesda used the “field of spikes” design.

“Cultural visit” you mean junket? Honestly, I would love to go check out Pituffik, but I suspect she and I don’t have the same appreciation for the outdoors.

I’m a cybersecurity professional, and I would personally place China and Russia as equal threats, but too bad our compromised government has masters to please. Of course, both of them pale in comparison to the massive insider threats occupying senior positions.

Ironic that this report was released today.

It also doesn’t say shit about Russia encouraging ships to drag anchors through the North Sea to cut telecom lines.

Wouldn’t that negate that sweet sweet tax write-off? Let me guess, they get to book the tax deduction for the loss AND the profit from an eventual sale as long as enough time has passed?

So “do nothing” is his answer to bird flu and measles?

“We are the party of working people. We feel that very, very strongly. That’s who we have always been.”

It doesn’t matter what you feel, Chuck, or what other leaders feel, it’s what voters feel that matters. If more of them felt the way you do, they would have voted differently. But they don’t.

Always a good idea with temp jobs.

Hi, I’m a hiring manager so I do interviews and make decisions on new personnel. As others have said, simply tell the truth that your current position is temp and you are looking for a permanent one. As a hiring manager hearing that from an interviewee, I wouldn’t bat an eye.

You don’t need to give details on when the temp position ends, but they should want to know when you would be available for the new position.

Finally, I don’t think the answer you got is a sign to look for another job, that looks like a pretty standard non-committal answer for “wait and see”. It doesn’t raise any red flags.

I just contacted both my senators to thank them for their no votes and to encourage them both to work on removing Schumer from his minority leader position.

Cloture vote required 60 for passage, final passage is only a majority. Cloture is literally the only time the minority party can assert itself, and they just gave it up.
