Australia to allow workers to ignore after-hours calls from bosses
  • Yeah, here in the US almost every state has "at will" employment, so any protections could really be circumvented by just firing a worker for whatever other reason (or no reason at all) they want. Hopefully labor has it better in the land down under.

  • After SCOTUS Rejected His Final Appeal, Alabama Executes Man With Nitrogen Gas
  • I was a researcher for around twenty years and almost passed out leaning over an LN2 tank like an idiot looking for my samples once. No pain, just felt some tingling and rapidly fading consciousness. There was still a good amount of oxygen in the room since the alarms never went off. Just glad I started to fall backwards instead of into the tank.

    I've also experienced nitrogen narcosis while deep diving, and that actually felt good.

  • The Guns Were Said to Be Destroyed. Instead, They Were Reborn.
  • For an AR-15 you can just use an AR Maglock and Kingpin, then it's just a button press to very slightly separate the upper and lower receiver, allowing for magazine ejection. It's almost as fast to change magazines as in other states.

    There's also zero chance a criminal would follow these laws. It takes maybe a minute to disable a maglock and swap on whatever stock you want. "Freedom Week" or old 30 round mags are prevalent as well.

    Sounds about right
  • A "performance improvement plan." Basically a way for employers to set unrealistic expectations and fire the employee with less risk of a lawsuit for wrongful termination. Although since almost every state has "at will" employment now, it hardly seems necessary.

  • I have several questions, actually
  • If you haven't bought a bidet (like $50-100 and a few minutes to install) or shower every time you poop, you are probably covered in feces right now. Toilet paper alone is kind of gross.

  • CD Projekt Doesn't Regret Making Cyberpunk 2077 First-Person, but Has Yet to Decide on Cyberpunk 2
  • I've loved the cyberpunk genre since its inception, and loved Witcher 3, but skipped this game because I don't like vomiting. Some of us just can't play FPS games without terrible nausea, especially when they have a field of view that can't be zoomed out very far.

  • Homelessness Explodes In Canada As Rents, Housing Prices Soar
  • Primarily. Also, they seem to be linking cannabis use with homelessness for some reason, and are surprised that diagnoses of mental illnesses are higher in a country where people have universal health care.

  • One 3rd party app may survive
  • Relay is the app I've been using for the past decade. It's great, and I would pay a subscription fee even though I paid for the app, but it wouldn't solve the other issues with the site. Mods still wouldn't have the tools they need to be effective and NSFW posts wouldn't be accessible, for example. Plus I don't like the idea of giving money to companies run by the likes of Steve Huffman.
