I tend to quit books if I don’t find them very good. One I did finish that I fucking hated was The Girl on the Train. All of the characters were fucking insufferable.

You thought Saló was good? It may not have had horse fucking but it definitely has everything else.

I enjoyed it…until the insanely problematic ending.

They are functionally the same.

That said, a tax or fine would be easier to implement.

Behind the Bastards for me. They have had some great and very informative episodes.

Grant. My wife will be going as Ellie and the kids are going as dinosaurs.

Correct which is why I mentioned it.

Probably not Pakistan but the Permian Basin in Texas also has a big methane emission.

Definitely something we should be looking to fine or tax.

We need to get a big group together and make an open source car. The company that bought Fiskers leftover vehicles can’t use them because Fiskers supposedly can’t transfer the servers to them.

The only surprising thing here is that it has taken so long for many people to realize this. I stopped using Google years ago because the first half dozen links were sponsored and the results that did actually pop up were complete shit. I knew it was much more than shitty companies playing the SEO algorithm. I switched to DuckDuckGo but I can’t say the actual results are a huge step up. But at least I am not spammed with unrelated ads or the search engine pushing scam products to me while purposely making the results useless.

I was actually surprised to know that data transmission is doable on ham radio. Not sure why I was surprised since data transmission is possible through pretty much any protocol but it was cool to know the versatility of what many see as pretty basic radio.

Why kill officers of a country that is helping the invasion of your country? Are you serious? It’s not like they sent the missile all the way over to North Korea.

Sounds like the Social Democrats and the People’s Party need to make a coalition. Fuck Nazis.

No way. Giuliani is head of Cyber.

A recent one? Resident Alien. It has a lot of unexpected laughs. The female characters in it are also really well done and not one dimensional.

Do fists count?

Giving or receiving?

But if they didn’t get free resources, they wouldn’t be profitable!

Sadly that is the excuse many AI companies use.

One note: document everything brought up to HR. If it is a small HR department, they could very well be friends with the supervisor and take their side. HR does indeed exist to protect the company but it is also made up of people (often extroverted ones). Documenting everything can help you out if there is any sort of retaliation. A threat of a lawsuit is absolutely something that can make a company be very apologetic and much more generous. I have had several friends that made sure they documented everything and were given six months severance when there was a possibility of a lawsuit.
