I heard Jack O’Neill and Teal’c in my head on this one.
J: Well, tell him unless he cools it, I’m going to throw down!
T: Have you eaten something that does not agree with you, O’Neill?
J: What?
T: Is your digestive system experiencing discomfort?
Daniel Jackson: Yeeeah, this is probably my fault, I explained the euphemism “throwing up” to Teal’c last night after Sam’s bout in the infirmary and I’m guessing he thinks the reverse means
J: No!
J: I’m perfectly… Continent.
I personally felt like it was a reference to the complete lack of corporate loyalty to it’s employees.
It’s hard to have a “career” in the classical sense the way my 90 year old grandparents did.
You can still choose a field of work and if you’re lucky you’ll get to stay in it for most of your adult life, but between outsourcing in IT, fields being made redundant as technology advances/changes (from cashiers and retail to journalism and marketing, accounting, and phone work) and whole fields of manufacturing work getting shipped overseas, the number of lifelong fields of work available is rapidly shrinking, facing fierce competition for jobs, and becoming a moving playing field faster than most people can retrain for.
“HR” jobs could get halved or more with chatbots providing benefits and payroll adjustment information. “Big data” is doing most of the “market research” that advertisers handled manually 30 years ago.
Big money is still trying to sell us the “career” dream because it leads to the school loan debt they feed off of and temporarily gluts fields with workers to reduce salaries, but only a few handfuls of fields of work really have “career” style options anymore.
I took it not as an insult to the people trying to have one, but as disdain and disgust at how the word gets bandied about like so much bait on a hook when the reality is fastly becoming far different for the 20- and 30- somethings of today.
That might be just me being both charitable and jaded, though.
No, that’s GOOD news.
Learning is a good thing.
Fascinating stuff.
Thank you 😊
It looks like a fossilized wasp hive.
Seriously. ^That’s the important bit.
I would be shocked if that was on any of the judge’s minds, but it’s the primary concern in cases of domestic abuse.
Domestic abuser plus gun owner is the “my boyfriend choked me during sex without my consent” red flag for upcoming potential future death.
it’s not a guarantee, but it’ statistically waaaaaay more likely to end that way.
It’s fucking “'til” not “tell”.
'til is short for “until”.
Please stop saying “Let’s wait tell later to do that”.
I think you mis-spelled “biased”.
:)
Looks like critical thinking deteriorates above 72f/22c
That explains SO many things about the decisions leading up to several of my former employers going bankrupt/getting bought out.
Pay for air conditioning in the office, people! It’s science!
:P
At what point do these kind of lies, SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO CURTAIL HIS FURTHER EMPLOYMENT begin to count as illegal?
When does it meet the New York Times v. Sullivan requirement for “actual malice”?
Safe deposit box?
Everyone who has one, I hope.
It’s called a Bitcoin “wallet”, too. If someone else is holding yours, it’s not your money.
I thought it said “Grimes” and it was making a joke about how ugly and comical the cybertruck looks.
Oops.
LOL
New billboard time --“according to the city of Portland, traffic cameras are worth $100,000 each. We don’t know about all that, but they sure do contain a lot of copper…”
:P
Where do you get Romanians in IT?
Also, I’d like it if we all adopted the process of CAPITALIZING OUR SURNAMES in email signatures.
I’ve only ever seen Romanians do it, but it’s genius.
But they’re almost all using it STUPIDLY, aren’t they?
How many people who purport to have Bitcoin actually hold their own private key?
My understanding is that the “re-imagining” is due to the timeline.
Vivec City in ESO is 700+ years before Vivec City in Morrowind, for example.
I think it was the original meaning when it was brand new and still very niche.
Part of me wonders if it made it onto one of those “Parents! Know these abbreviations!” memes where they purposely list the acronyms incorrectly (LOL–Lots of Love) and then got more popular that way.

I jest, but I’ve seen more facilities maintenance teams cause power issues than IT teams.
First Mojo, now Kinky.
