You realize it doesn’t say that and this wasn’t happening in the US. The candidate pulled out a piece of A4 paper. Something not used in the US very often.

Oh my! So many hurtful words. Are you getting enough oxygen?

Free parking, insurance, hell… Even weekly activities don’t necessarily make or prevent a company from being shitty. #6 could be an indicator, but by itself, it’s not enough.

If #4 is medical insurance, sure.
Probation period and notice to employer assume that you’ve landed the job and is presumptive to do so before the offer.
#6 is good. Weekly acticities is a weird question, but indicative of something important.The rest are important after an offer.

I don’t think the questions on the list do that.
- Comment on I don't think they understand. We're interviewing them too. 4 days ago:
I did say it wasn’t consequential, I said it wasn’t an indicator of if it was a shitty company.
- Comment on I don't think they understand. We're interviewing them too. 4 days ago:
I don’t see how answering any of these question in s straight forward and honest way would reveal if this company is shitty or not. Their ability to provide free parking is far an indicator of quality.

These are questions for after receiving an offer.
The questions you should ask now would be along the lines of management style, corporate culture, and team dynamics. It’s the first few dates, not a marriage proposal.

Usually from dehydration. Most cases self resolve after a few days.

But it’s arbitrary. It doesn’t need to. Centuries are just 100 years. Start at years ending in one or zero.
- Comment on The lost days 1 week ago:
Can’t believe we skipped both 0 BC and 0 AD.
In all seriousness, we can define the millennium to start on 2000 and work from there. We already do this with decades and centuries.

Looks just fine in my proper British calendar.
Now September 1752 is a different story.

I like to think the guy on the right is thinking, “omg… Our pinkies just touch. What does that mean? What does that mean!?!”

- Comment on Why does the winter solstice mark the beginning of winter, and not the center? 2 weeks ago:
Several cultures do use it to mark the middle of winter. Celts and Chinese come to mind. They are communiting a different set of information when they do it.

Look at this fucking idiot. They think their raw pasta is al dente.
Enjoy your mush soup.
- Comment on My favorite 2 weeks ago:
The Olive Garden doesn’t salt their pasta water. This is to reduce corrosion of the cheap pots. But salt is important. It obviously makes the pasta taste salty, but also it keeps starches from dissolving into the water so quickly. Without it, your pasta will be mushy and not al dente.

That was a fascinating read. Thanks for sharing.

The reason one feels sick is because the bacteria found in the food were able to make a colony despite the innate defenses of the immune system such as the gut biome. As the bacterial colony is established, it creates an environment that is beneficial to the bacteria, but not beneficial to the surrounding tissue. This leads to cell death of the tissue. Upon cell, there are chemical markers released and enter the surrounding tissue and then the blood stream. Both of these signal to nearby and far off cells and tissues that there is somerhing happening and the cellular immune system, white blood cells, responds. These white cells have a host of defenses including raising the body’s temperature resulting in a fever.
From here many things can happen, but in the case of most healthy people in the developed world, the type of bacteria faced in food poisoning will be dealt with with little need for any medication that directly assists the immune response. Staying hydrated helps and mitigating digestive discomfort are the best things.
- Comment on If you have diarrhea and you hold it in will your body retain some of the water? 3 weeks ago:
The body does not have diarrhea as a protective mechanism to purge the bacteria that caused the food poisoning. The bacteria is secreting a protein that inhibits water absorption which causes diarrhea.
Preventing or reducing diarrhea would be a beneficial outcome for a bacteria infection such as ETEC whose cause of death is dehydration.
This is by no means an endorsement of OP’s hold it in strategy.
- Comment on If you have diarrhea and you hold it in will your body retain some of the water? 3 weeks ago:
You wouldn’t be absorbing “bad food”. The body has diarrhea because it is unable to absorb water in the colon. It’s unable to absorb water in the case of food poisoning because the bacteria that grew in the food is creating a protein that blocks the water absorption receptors in the colon lining.
- Comment on If you have diarrhea and you hold it in will your body retain some of the water? 3 weeks ago:
A major function of the colon is water re-absorption. The membrane is so small that viruses would be too large to get through.
