Unfortunately that isn’t going so well for many of the locations. The company is refusing to negotiate a contract, and using the union as an excuse not to give regular yearly raises because “they have to keep status quo” despite the fact that they’re doing other unilateral changes like the recent uniform change. My local has been trying for a contract for two years now. They’ve gone on strike multiple times, but they always do these weird one or two day strikes so the company can just plan around it.

Yeah I’m so happy with them only covering 25 days worth of insulin for my wife instead of 30, and not covering the more effective insulin at all, only the off brand that doesn’t work nearly as well so she has to take twice as many units at a time. Refusing to cover my yearly required heart checkups and my wife’s throat scan for cancer so we have to pay thousands out of pocket that still doesn’t reach my deductible. Such a great company.,

Looks like the audiobook comes to my library in like a week, what serendipitous timing, thanks for the recommendation!

I finally read this book a year or two ago after putting it off because it was recommended by the same teacher who made us read a bunch of old slop. Honestly one of the best books I’ve ever read in my entire life. 100% should be on everyone’s reading list.

Just being brown was enough for me, the only time I’ve flown in my adult life without being pulled aside was, funny enough, when I went to China. I used to travel regularly for work, and it was so regular even my coworkers commented on it to the tsa.

Nope, that would be the party full throat supporting a genocide when even mainstream media admitted it was a big issue that would lose them votes.

You’re right, I was confusing it with them flying aid into Lebanon, the aid they’ve given to Palestine has been through Egypts crossing.

This is a historical trend, new technologies making development easier is exactly why we got 3d accelerated games in the first place. And idk what gpu you’re buying, cause mine wasn’t even $1000 and runs everything great.

It really is a bummer that idtech of all things is moving away from working on all hardware. I played through Doom Eternal my first time on a 960 at 1080p with 60fps and never a stutter.

Ray tracing can save hundreds of hours of labor time over older methods of lighting, shadowing, that devs would have to do to simulate ray tracing. Or, in many instances, thousands of hours of bake time pre-baking lighting.

China frequently criticizes Israel, and has flown aid directly into Palestine. They’re a non-interventionalist nation, and have their own issues to work through, especially with the trade war ramping up and risks of a potential hot war. You want them to get themselves cut off from the global economy by attacking Israel or something?

They can “take” paid time off, meaning their few vacation days being used because of the failure of the company. Or they can come in to clean lmao.

Cafeterias have often been something I thought would be such a boon to our societies, cooking food at home is “cheaper” here, but it’s so damn inefficient. Imagine my surprise when I saw them in China and then found out that they’re pretty widespread.

Cardio is hard for me, I have ridiculously bad knees and ankles, but I do exercise at least once a week, and practice martial arts. I’d recommend everyone to practice an art, doesn’t really matter which one, the mental and physical benefits are pretty undeniable, though you have to watch out for chuds, they’re very prevalent in the scene. Bonus though, you get to beat up those chuds in sparring, which is very satisfying. Can be a good way to practice radicalizing chuds too, they usually have their hearts in the right place, just absolutely stupefied by decades of imperial propaganda.

Andrew does cite srsly wrong in his video on library socialism, at the end. The wrong boys have a website for it, Here it’s genuinely good stuff, we need people planning for what comes after, just as much as we need people planning for how to get to after.

An-prim Luddite stuff.

Chinese cops are pretty cool, funny enough. When they’re not enforcing capital control and murdering people, they can do a lot of good.

Pretty sure his foundation received a significant amount of money from the gov that has been cut off with all these cuts, I think he’s just mourning his infinite money cheat code being turned off.
