- Comment on ICE Arrests Beloved Fighting Game Community Member Ludovic 4 days ago:
If he came inti the US as child in 2002 and signed a “voluntary” removal order in 2005, it sure seems like ICE conned a child into giving up their rights, something they continue to do today.
People opting not to enforce that despicable act for 21 years is luadable. The fact that Trumps ICE are instead enforcing it should have been mentioned, along with a roaring condemnation of how we treat vulberable children in this country.

Similiar reason cheddar is orange. Cheesemakere used to die it to cover inconsistences in quality or rot.
At this point, cheddar is almost perfectly safe, but people expect it to be orange, so its orange.

This is always why its generally better to turn your wifi signal power down to a low or middle power as long as all your devices can still connect.
Less range, less overlap, less competition for shared bandwidth between different APs.

As I recall, they didnt follow WARN at all, just firing thousands people left and right, and only after the fact when they started getting sued did they say “well your severance worked out to 60 days, so that counts.”
I do remember that one of the sale conditions was that all previous employee perks were retained, which twitter had very good severance, like 1 months/pay per year at the company. Some of the lawsuits were about that not being honored.

Just a heads up mate, you used a different username in you story than your current one. Might want to change it to orevent linking identities.
- Comment on Yes this year is going to be really good and productive 2 weeks ago:
WARN Only kicks in at a 100 people or more laid off, and it only goves you 60 days notice, not any extra pay or benefits.
Its basically the least they can do, and the 100 person threshold gives lots of Orgs plently of room to skirt it by doing small, and steady layoffs instead.

Super cool. Hopefully they bonus out the rest of the team that worked on this.
- Comment on Save as PDF 3 weeks ago:
Thats not 100% correct. This didnt use to be an option, nor is pdf the default printing “format” used by printers. Thats more PCL.
- Comment on Save as PDF 3 weeks ago:
This is as much linguistic tomfoolery for humans as it is a con for computers.
I dont know the history, but the most likely case is some microsoft engineer implemented the “print as pdf” option to get around an adobe restriction in the far past, and now we have this weird convention where you “print” to only 1 filetype to “save” it.
- Comment on me, being surprised at how good radishes are 3 weeks ago:
Was the beet from a can? They often carry over a metallic taste that is not good.
Non canned Beets are delicious. Very earthy and savory, with a hidden sweetness. They are great in salads, but really sing in soup. We make a vegatarian bousch with Beets, potato, carrot and serrano that I could literally eat every day.
- Comment on Meta progression in roguelites was fun for a while, but it's starting to feel unrewarding 3 weeks ago:
I think the harder versions add a lot of variabilty to the fight. The “default” Scylla fight is almost an afterthought after your first dozen times, but the harder version is immensly more complicated. Same goes for prometheous + spoiler, etc.
I think with a hundred more runs, these would also get old hat, but thats true with hades 1 as well. If you run the bosses 112 times there, the occasional “suprise” boss isnt really that intersting, esoecially if you’ve seen them 35 times. Seeing ol “muurrder…” was novel, but only to a point.

Hades 2 lets you amp up the difficulty to vary the bosses. By the 1000th attempt, you would likely be playing with them on their hardest and most intersting mode.
- Comment on Work smarter, not harder 3 weeks ago:
Yes and no. Up to 2 years ago my company was still manually requesting criminal background checks. A 3rd party company did them, but HR had to open a case each time. Now that is automatic, but tons of processss at tons of companies are still antiquated for various reasons.
Its entirely possible vetting is minimium because of cost and labor involved.

- Comment on Microwave does not make room a flat, judge rules 1 month ago:
Theones in the article had a fridge, microwave and kettle. No sink, countertop or actual plumbing, which is a pretty core part of a kitchen. At least the above looks like a barely functional kitchnet.
The UK landlords just slapped cheap, non permanant appliances in the room and called it a kitchen.
- Comment on After GOTY pull, Clair Obscur devs draw line in sand: 'Everything will be made by humans by us' 2 months ago:
The AI assets were only patched out at day 5 because fans noticed them.. The devs likely rolled it into that patch because of the fans catching it in the live game.
The issue at hand, as the article above goes into, is that the devs said that they used no AI at all in developement, which is a condition of the award. They did however, as these assets and the devs themselves comfirmed in various interviews. They lied to the Indie game awards and violated its conditions.
Revoking the award seems like a pretty reasonable response on the IGA’s part when the dev explicitly lied to you to win an award.

That one was on purpose:
In the book, just like in the movie, Spearchucker reveals that the nickname “Spearchucker”, ordinarily a racial slur, referred in this case to his javelin-throwing prowess.
They use the racism behind his nickname to address racism in the show:
The film also depicts Spearchucker as a particularly skilled neurosurgeon and this, together with the experience of playing football together, helps Duke Forrest overcome his racial prejudices and the two become friends at the end, shaking hands when it is time for Duke to go back stateside.
