I’m sure ocean windfarms are somehow to blame.
- Comment on FTC Non-compete rule published in Federal Register 1 week ago:
I’ve already had this argument with people I work with. It doesn’t matter if a non-compete is enforceable or not. They’re meant to demoralize and demotivate employees so they stay with the company at low pay. Someone that has just lost their job isn’t going to risk a potentially life-destroying lawsuit.
I know they would sue, because the process is the goal, and they have deeper pockets than I do.
- Comment on FTC Non-compete rule published in Federal Register 1 week ago:
The company I work for lost a MAJOR customer last fall. Management panicked, and rushed everyone to sign a non-compete agreement. Only after getting all the agreements signed did they let everyone know what had happened, and that there would be massive layoffs.
Fucking psychos had just gone through a huge hiring phase. Some new employees had only been there a matter of months before finding out they would lose their job, and wouldn’t be able to get a new one in the same industry unless they waited two years.

To be fair, Yackety Sax was a weird choice for the soundtrack.

It hasn’t been published yet. The Federal Register lags behind real life by a few days. Probably on Friday, or possibly early next week.
- Comment on Jawbone in Child’s Rock Collection Linked to Marine Who Died in 1951 4 weeks ago:
When I die, I think I could do a lot worse than end up as part of a little boy’s rock collection.
- Comment on Let's discuss: Polybius 1 month ago:
One of the arcades in the town I grew up in had one of these, for a short time. I never played it (I was young enough to not be interested) but saw some of the older kids playing it. Pretty soon afterwards my dad forbid (forbade?) me from that arcade, because he heard that’s where they sold “drugs”. I never made the connection until just now. Pissed me off, because that arcade had Robotron.

Police believe Aghdam was motivated by perceived discrimination by YouTube towards her channels.[29][30] She complained about the company on her website,[31][32] writing that “Youtube filtered my channels to keep them from getting views!” and that the company had demonetized most of her videos.[33]

Someone did attack the Youtube headquarters several years ago. She was mad they had demonetized her videos.

Is that a page-feed scanner? Anyone that hands me a sheet of paper had better realize it’s going to sit on my desk until the end of the day, and then get dumped in the recycling.

- Comment on Why Do Women Have More Autoimmune Diseases? Study Points to X Chromosome 3 months ago:
Wow, yeah, I’m completely lost. Maybe my first genetics class shouldn’t be the New York Times.
- Comment on Why Do Women Have More Autoimmune Diseases? Study Points to X Chromosome 3 months ago:
As a non-biologist, this is completely foreign to me.
If the immune system is attacking the Xist proteins, wouldn’t this reactivate the disabled X chromosome?
Do the Xist proteins always disable the same X chromosome in all women (i.e. always the 1st one, and never the 2nd, or vice versa?) How are the two differentiated?

- Comment on Massive data dump containing millions of passwords sparks security alert: Is your data safe? 3 months ago:
Is there someplace to get this list of passwords? I’m not worried about my current passwords being on there, but there was one I used years ago that I still haven’t found on any list. I’m curious if it’s on there yet.
- Comment on [Kind of weekly thread] What have you been watching? 4 months ago:
Oldboy. The original Korean version. That was fucked-up, wasn’t expecting that until right before the reveal.
No One Will Save You. Pretty standard alien invasion/abduction movie. But with only 2 or 3 lines of dialogue in the entire movie, the actress absolutely killed it showing how scared she was.
- Comment on Open betas are more "marketing tool" than "actual test" for bugs, says GTFO developer 4 months ago:
I remember when companies would release a “demo”, either for download or included on a disc in a gaming magazine. It wasn’t uncommon for companies to patch their demo a few times before the game was released.
This was before patching a game multiple times after release was viable.

Euler never did anything important, except wear that dishrag on his head.
- Comment on Another example of shrink flation... oh, my beer... 4 months ago:
Bottles of Guinness used to have a little plastic “widget” with a nitrogen charge in them. When you opened the bottle the drop in pressure would cause the nitrogen to release and foam up the beer. But the size of the widget meant they could only get 11.2 oz of cold, refreshing stout in the bottle.
Then they removed the widget. I’m not sure if they did anything special to replace the foaming head, but they sure didn’t replace the widget with 0.8 oz of beer.
- Comment on Bethesda confirms they are working on releasing new features you asked for, from city maps, to mod support, to all new ways of traveling next year for Starfield 5 months ago:
I haven’t bought Starfield, was waiting for sub-$25. If there are no mods, I’m lowering that to sub-$10.
- Comment on This fan-made HD PC port of Zelda: Link's Awakening is so cool I can't believe Nintendo hasn't taken it down yet 5 months ago:
The Link’s Awakening remake on Switch is worth your time. I loved the original, and I loved the remake. I hope they continue bringing their old games forward like this (LA, Mario RPG, etc.)
