Do any houses use wood for heating, or at least as a backup for times like this? My brother had a wood stove with fireplace that is somehow installed in a way that it heats his ~2000 sqft, 2 story house. I think the system was expensive to

Not an HR folk, but from what I've seen they often just offer at least 60 days of severance and benefits.

Sending CBD messages are explicitly forbidden, not necessarily due to actual illegality, but due to SHAFT compliance. CBD derived from hemp is federally legal. Messaging about it can be illegal depending on claims made. I'm not really

We are not directly a tmobile customer. We use Twilio. Our relationship with Tmobile is mediated by them. But ultimately we are a customer, and this is not how you treat customers. We operate numbers for thousands of of businesses. They sel

This industry is ridiculous. One week's notice about new fines, provided the day before the Christmas holiday? This after the last couple of years of constantly changing requirements for registration of traffic. Meanwhile many of our c

Nobody cares that it dropped in 2023. We care that it's worse than a decade ago, which it is. We hit a local minimum of 4.4 murders per 100k in 2014. It was 6.3 in 2022. That's a big difference. Property crime goes unreported. It&

FedNow transaction settlement is seconds, crypto is considerably slower. FedNow also incorporates fraud protection, which is obviously totally absent from the crypto domain.

Come now, a rewrite of their charter by some American social studies grad to make it more palpable to the public does not change their original intent. We saw it in their actions on 10/7: they want the mass murder of civilians. Their l

I was responding first and foremost to the assertion that such attacks were merely "possible". I demonstrated that they are actual. They put real people who have nothing to do with this war at risk due to actual antisemitic behavi

1200+ Israelis, mostly civilians, were brutally murdered on 10/7. There have already been real-life anti-semitic attacks on people and property. There have been synagogues and cemeteries burned, people murdered, shot, and stabbed, busi

The estimated wealth of the House of Saud is as high as 3 trillion. Maybe that's too big to be considered a "family", but either way it's an insane amount of wealth in relatively few hands.

That is troubling. Does this mean Github staff can basically take over any private account without contacting the owners? Can regular staff access private repos? Could they quietly manipulate my own repos by changing my ssh key and pushing

But doesn't Altman joining Microsoft, and them quitting and following, put them back at square 0? MS isn't going to give them millions of dollars each to join them.

It is disappointing that the outcome of this is that Altman and co are basically going to steal a nonprofit's IP and use it at a competitor. They took advantage of the goodwill of the public and favorable taxation in order to develop t

How many years did it take to go from 39 million to 43 million in value? Would've been better off in bonds, perhaps. This isn't a success story, it's a redistribution of wealth from investors to the founders.

High end restaurants in my city and a few European cities I've been to recently required reservations with payment up front. At worst, the restaurant still gets the money if someone (like a bot account) no shows. This would be a pretty

Calling Americans unions purely extractive is not accurate. American unions fight for employee rights, including fair wages, time off, fair treatment, and employee safety. Unions do not want to bankrupt their employers, they just want to be
