  Both?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why bag the hydrant?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe they reuse the bags. Bag up 5th Street, salt it, collect the bags and prep 6th.

  I don’t know.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨German train drivers' union votes for 'unlimited' strikes⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They can’t be forced to work if they don’t want to, every employee must decide if the wages are enough for them. All a strike is, is the workers together saying they won’t work for the current wage any more, but if management will agree they’ll be happy to come back. It’s your whole workforce quitting on you but you have a chance they’ll come back. It would be completely fine for any one person to behave this way, but they would have no power to achieve the change they want. One person is easily replaced. But if the workers happen to all ask at the same time, then the owners are much more likely to think paying the wage is easier than replacing every employee.

  When it boils down to it, it’s not a complicated idea and it seems to me that management tries to make it sound complicated and dodgy. If you wanted to sum it up in a sentence it’d be “Boss, we’ve talked it over and we’re not going to work unless you pay us enough for the work we do”. The boss only makes money if the workers are working at all, he can’t run the whole factory himself, so if he’d like to continue this enviable position of gaining capital without creating wealth he may want to consider a negotiation.

  I haven’t played Halo since 3 first came out but man you can preach. Can’t wait to get a deck and play this eventually

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Possible headcanon reason why consoles always explode on the bridge⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Survivor(star)ship bias: There are only episodes about minor issues with the inertial dampeners because major issues with the system would be very short and messy, and not make for good archival training footage for cadets or whatever the Watsonian reason for our Doyalist TV show may be.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do people want games that are just stories without any gameplay, these days? Why not just watch a movie for that?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Was there a trailer?

  You’re not American, so you don’t know the bare minimum is more than one should expect around here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Popular science Youtuber Hank Green is in remission⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s like if Bill Nye was your nerdy buddy instead of your cool professor. I’ve never met the dude but he’s on my list of people who don’t know they’re my friend.

  The article you linked mentions it isn’t a recognized syndrome.

  I just have to say I think you just stumped the Buddha. If I’m understanding, then the reason for proliferation is for the wisdom gained from outside perspective. The analysis of 1000 “wrong” answers can give insight as to the nature of reality or the “right” answer.
