   I think you can blame influencers for that. Things get trendy for being cheap and then stop being cheap.

   I wanted to move there when I was still working from home. Now that I have to commute, it's a no go. I love the idea, though.

   They don't need to ensure that all test groups are exposed to people with HIV. There is already a known risk factor for the specific population. All they need to do is see if the people who received the medication had more/fewer&#

   Don't Look Now is one of my favorite movies! So weird and spooky.

   When I got laid off (October 2022), there were a ton of tech layoffs, including big cuts at FAANGs. It was a lot of competition at the time. I did get offered a job doing QA but the position was closed and my offer rescinded a week before I

   I've posted about my Lambda experience in another thread. I started Lambda School in 2019. I was in one of their first part-time evening cohorts. The original program length was 9 months. I went into the program with a lot of prior pro

   I think if basic needs are met, then abled-bodied and able-minded individuals will still want to work. They'll just be empowered to have more choice in where they work and how much they work for.

   Most homeless people don't get food stamps. Programs like food stamps usually require someone to have a mailing address, which can be difficult to establish if you are homeless. Some people think you can just go get a PO Box or third p

    So, this might be fixed, but you could get around the cancellation fee by changing your plan to the Dreamweaver monthly plan and then cancelling that. You'd get a prorated refund when you changed plans and then an additional refund for

    I'd say basic needs are a safe place to live, food, and some kind of transportation (unless the area is reasonably walkable). As far as who does the shitty labor jobs, they would need to incentivize that work to make it desirable for p

    It'd be so nice if basic needs were just met as part of the societal contract. Then work is the thing we do to fund the extras. People who can't work for whatever reason don't have to fight to survive and people who want to w

    I went through the triplebyte process around 2020. I was accepted into the program and assigned a manager (or whatever they were called). He setup one interview for me, but it didn't lead to a job. Shortly after, he sent out a message

    Because anti-Semitism is used to derail any conversation about Israel. If you criticize Israel, you're accused of being an anti-Semite, and actual anti-Semites flood the conversation with actual anti-Semitism that immediately shuts eve

    FWIW, you can use your own modem and router with Cox internet, but most people don't because the provided modem is free and most people don't care to spend money on their own.

    All I know is that there are some sounds that help my tinnitus and other sounds that trigger it. If I could have something that filters the triggering frequencies and also sends out the masking frequencies, maybe it would help? I don't

    I need earplugs that won't amplify my tinnitus. Or, better yet, cancel it.

    Why should employers be allowed to take pictures and videos of me without my permission or knowledge? If I work from home, how much of my home is now the company's business? Should my employer be allowed to see my home office at will?

    I think what companies want is to replace as many human employees as possible. I don't think they really care what the consequences of that are.

    Oh yeah, I've listened to all of this and some of Dennis E. Taylor's other stuff, as well. I've also listened to all of ExFor and everything Andy Weir, almost everything narrated by Travis Baldree, too.

    For a clear illustration of how much that ballot screwed Al Gore, look at Pat Buchanan's vote in Palm Beach county, compared to every other county. He clearly got 2000+ votes that were meant for Al Gore. Gore lost by less that 550 vote

    I'm guessing the bees are just going in circles, steal from person A and sell to person B. Now person A needs bees, so steal from person C and sell to Person A, and it keeps going like that. The smaller and poorer beeks won't be a

    There are a ton of headsets beyond the three you mentioned (Glass wasn't a VR anything). Valve, Pico, Pimax, Varjo are a few off the top of my head. Pico 4 would be very competitive against the Quest 3 if they had released it in the US
