  Now to get me to resubscribe, get rid of all that ridiculous TLC, Discovery channel bullhsit. I ain’t gonna subsidize that shit.

  I would like to point out that Cyberpunk 2077 was announced in the same year as Star Citizen was announced (2012). I don’t know much about anything but being bankrolled for 13 years and not having a completed product must be nice.

  The photo for the article is hilarious. No opticals, just iron sights. I got the mental image of the dude trying to aim at a radio 500m away.

  Failed too efficient. Technically a one sentence horror story now. DQd until revised.

  6 - Drugs

  IDK Its weird how a lot of rich and powerful are all closet drug addicts. Like you got the funds and resources to turn your self into an Adonis amongst people. You got the funds to go skydiving daily, flying in experimental aircraft, learning how to do some James Bond level driving maneuvers, or train to go all John Wick on a shooting course. Yet a lot go, “hold my beer gonna get some nose candy”

  Like come on, am I missing something or are these people terribly boring? Where are the mega wealthy ones that wake up to have breakfast in a hot air ballon, followed by Horse Polo, followed by fencing lessons from an olympic champion?

  And unbelievably expensive, and unbelievably good at regulating an A1C.

  Now if you excuse me, I am gonna go and break down crying to the insurance rep about how Ozempic is way better than metformin at not making me shit my pants. I swear I am not making excuses just to lose weight. (Please someone, stop the madness, if I can get semiglutides that doesn’t make you lose weight but regulates my A1C I would be so happy)

  Less infrastructure erosion from roots? Integration into places like above ground parking spaces? Hell could you imagine integrating them into bridge underpasses or walk ways? Heck make a semi destructible version and use that for crash bollards. Only a level 5 vegan is going to complain if some allege is spilt.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do office workers actually do?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Engineer here. You’re salaried but treated like an hourly employee. You get paid to work 40 hours a week but get “told” that working less than 45-50 hours a week makes you a slacker. Your exempt which means you don’t get a mandatory 30 minute unpaid lunch or a paid 15 minute break every 4 hours. Vacation time is normally unlimited but requires manager approval so if you get the old “boomer” type that drank the corporate cool aid, good luck getting any more than 2 weeks worth approved regardless of years at company.

  Sorry I digress, My job starts at 8:00 but I slide in to the daily standup at around 8:10. No one notices or cares. Afterwards, I get a cup of coffee, catch up on vital correspondence and questions from overseas coworkers. It’s sometime between 8:30 and 9:45 That I realize the Bangalore Software team sent out an emergency meeting at 11PM last night for 5AM This morning. “Oh well” I think to myself and sip on my coffee catching up on what I missed. Turns out one of them forgot to plug in a machine. They crack me up.

  From 9:45 to 10:00, I have conditioned my body to take a shit. I time it for exactly 10 minutes. My second one is precisely times for between 4:00PM and 4:15PM. I figure those two times are freebies to my 9.5 hour forced work schedule. Upon returning, from my “break” I begin to actually work.

  I design things using CAD software cool stuff. I am content by 10:10AM I have my headphones on, I am doing what I actually went to school for. I begin to think this is entirely worth all the other stuff I put up with. I get in the zone and time flies.

  Its, 10:25AM. There was an emergency on the production floor. They tell me its a problem they have never seen before. They assure me they have taken all the proper diagnostic steps have been taken and I need to look at whats wrong to prevent a line stop.

  I think, “its go time” I follow the techs down to the line and start diagnosing the problem. In no time at all, I find that they never checked the test wiring despite that being like in the first 5 steps of diagnosing a problem. I head back to my desk. Its 2PM by now, I microwave my lunch and work through it. Distractions happen maybe I get an accumulated total of an hour or two of design work done before its 6PM and I head home.

  Yup…… You could tell me to switch jobs but every company I work for in my line of work is just like this.

  Isn’t pesticides just bee assassination on a mass scale? Thus, I argue, we cannot not yet rule that out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does the USPS, FedEx and UPS give a crap about weed shipments since Hemp sprayed with th same terpenes and looks the same as weed has been shipped legally for 9 years now?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Knowing someone working for one of the three services you named…. They don’t really care. The people at the counter can’t accuse you of anything unless you are dumb enough to say you are shipping weed. After that, I would assume shipping is laxed due to your mentioned reasons.
