  I started getting this after I got diagnosed with diabetes, because I started eating way less junk food, so my salt intake went down. My blood pressure is usually on the low end now. It’s annoying, and I’ve talked to my doctor about it but she mostly said to drink more water.

  We’re on Metric time already, the base unit of measure for time in the Metric system is the second. This is decimal time.

  To be fair, human skin is good for blocking alpha radiation, that’s an extremely low bar.

  There’s nothing stopping them from firing you, but a one time offense will not get the government to deny you you unemployment, assuming you appeal any denial. Especially if the only other ammo they have is from five years ago.

  Extremely doubtful that this would rise to a firing that was justified enough that would preclude the employees seeking unemployment. They would really want to have a longer paper trail than “CEO sent a slack message and then a meeting a week later.” Not saying that this was an illegal firing. This was just power tripping.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨HR people smiling at you thinking that you are a complete moron⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I got laid off about five and a half years ago, at the start of Covid. The meeting was with my manager and his boss (who I was also friendly with). I got a meeting invite and asked if we could push it back an hour so I could drive my wife to work, they said sure. I told my wife on the drive that I was getting laid off. Sure enough, I was. They paid me five weeks severance and gave me resources to file for unemployment. It was due to Covid causing a huge drop in money coming in, which was understandable. Honestly, I didn’t like my job, I had already hired a company to rewrite my resumé. So it worked out. At least my boss and his boss had the spine to do it personally. I’ll always give them credit for that.

  It must be exhausting, going through life, being this stupid.

  Ironically, I left DuckDuckGo and switched to Kagi when DDG announced their AI.

  Bees literally do not use hexagons, they make roughly round shapes and the force of the surrounding cells compresses them into hexagons. This is called self-organization and it’s observable in bubbles as well.

  Then don’t watch it?
