  • Bracing for the worst
  • See the salamanders from Threshold

    That honor actually goes to Prodigy

  • Abortion pills will be controlled substances in Louisiana soon. Doctors have concerns
  • so states with cannabis dispensaries don't count? or the states allowing abortion?

    By law? Yes, they do. It just isn't being enforced.

    It still causes financial issues though. Banks won't touch them, for instance.

  • Dell Sales team told to return to office 5 days a week
  • It's way easier to get someone's attention in office

    Exactly. Most employees aren't just sitting around waiting for someone to get their attention. They're already actively working. And when that work is interrupted, it's a distraction, and productivity goes down.

    Even the mental context switching between the tasks is costly in terms of time lost. Most people can't just instantly jump back to the original task at the same level of productivity.

  • Watch out, Microsoft Outlook could soon give away when you're sneakily working from home
  • Your M365 admin can already tell by your IP address. Just like they know when you're looking at porn when your IP randomly hops states for a little while.

  • Revealed: Far higher pesticide residues allowed on food since Brexit
  • That sucks, and someone should do something about it. But to be clear, these findings are simply that the MRLs ("Maximum Residue Levels") allowed by current regulations are higher.

    There is no actual data reported from testing levels.

  • What are your favorite leftist news sources?
  • Only according to that stupid bot

  • California governor signs law banning all plastic shopping bags at grocery stores.
  • While single-use packaging isn't always ideal, we aren't exactly fighting a battle with micro-paper pollution. It biodegrades comparatively simply.

  • What episodes do you disagree with/have problems with the ethics?
  • The "God committee" from the history of hemodialysis comes to mind as relevant.

  • Emotional Support Dog
  • What Imperial Navy? You mean those new drones?

  • Lebanese girl becomes most notable victim of pager blasts
  • That would make it the most precise military strike of all time.

    Pretty sure that honor still goes to the R9X Slap Chop. The pager explosions, on the other hand, injured thousands.

  • How do you decide on which news sources to read?
  • Definitely not like this:

    The news source of this post could not be identified. Please check the source yourself. Media Bias Fact Check | bot support

  • China’s overseas policing: With investments stalled or collapsed and a growing resentment at the role of Chinese firms in the Global South, Beijing seems to conclude that they are dangerously exposed
  • Any aggregate rating of the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine is going to basically be useless

    The whole damn bot is useless spam for Ground News, which sells paid subscriptions. I'm still not convinced they aren't paying off the admins.

  • Chipotle pilots new line of robots in California after $20 per hour wage.
  • Fully-automated outdoor vending machines for pizza from scratch already exist and aren't new. It doesn't seem like a huge stretch to adapt that to roll something into a burrito instead of baking it.

  • The Science Vulcan Directorate has determined that time travel is not fair
