Dr. Bob @lemmy.ca Recovering academic now in public safety. You'll find me kibitzing on brains (my academic expertise) to critical infrastructure and resilience (current worklife). Also hockey, games, music just because.
I'd be interested in this too. I'm a bit away from the next vehicle but I was already considering going vintage for physical controls, an honest to god non-electronic mirror, and no surveillance.
Desert wasn't really a cyberpunk setting until BR 2049. Post-apocolyptic sure, MadMax had that stitched up in 1979, but not cyberpunk.
Definitely do not watch The Man Who Fell to Earth which was supposed to be based on it.
Aviator, aviatrix, aviatman.
Director, directrix, directman.
Executor, executrix, executman.
Chairman, chairwoman, chair.
Goodbye.
That's the Fire Marshall. They are the enforcement arm of fire services. Do you think there is a reason so few people die in fires and maybe its tied to a strong regulatory regime? Like make sure occupancy limits are respected and fire exits aren't blocked?
I am struggling with "fair" here. I'm pretty well paid for the public sector, but the private sector would offer a 50%+ increase with a noticable loss of stability. So I don't know. I do think they should have promoted me years ago though .
You are thinking of Pierre Poilievre maybe.
Is Joe Rogan a libertarian? I have never listened to him but I always had the impression he was a "don't tread on my liberty" authoritarian type.
It says here you'll still see the red X because you didn't beat him, but you can collect the card and complete the collection quest.

What? I don't think it's a missable card. If you didn't win it I'm pretty sure he just leaves it on the table at the end of the storyline.
CostCo is a rare good player in the retail space. They have a great reputation as an employer.
No, you're getting downvoted because there is no such thing as "genetically fat". Metabolic disorders are a different beast, but even those can be controlled by diet. The psychological tradeoffs of restrictive diets make them a difficult choice for many people who prefer a pharmaceutical route instead. At the fringe people will deny there is a "lifestyle" intervention option at all.
It's voter suppression. By limiting the number of voting locations and understanding them you make long lines where people will wait for hours to vote. By not allowing food or water to be handed out they hope people will get discouraged and leave the line. The official reason is that it could be construed as a bribe to vote a certain way.
So my wife thinks we're getting shelled tonight.
She doesn't really watch hockey so I don't know what her opinion is worth. But she wanted to do Leafs Lucky Guess with me this morning. Evidently we are going to lose 16-1 or something.
Do audits actually matter?
The US 2nd circuit has ruled that auditors opinions aren't relevant in cases of investor fraud because the statements are too vague for people to rely on. Whut?
Wall Street Journal article here for those who have access.
Here is a professor's blog entry for a barrier free commentary on the importance of the case.
What is the biggest corporate heel turn that you know?
I was thinking about this after listening to Marc Andreassen blather on about how he doesn't trust government as a repository of trusted keys and other functions. He advocates for private companies to perform critical functions. Standard libertarian stuff in many respects.
The problem of course is that corporations lack accountability. They can shift terms and conditions or corporate purpose and there is little meaningful recourse except to stop using them. I can think of small examples that don't widely resonate (Mountain Equipment Co-op I'm thinking of you 🤬) but are there big examples that I'm missing?
Recommendations for lightweight WSYWIG page editor?
I am finally going to join the '90s and set up a blog. The audience is mostly students to show how the academic stuff blends with real world professional practice. I'm an adjunct so I have a foot in both worlds.
I have my domain names (parked for years) and free webhosting through my university - but the university doesn't provide any development tools. All of the recommended tools I've run across (weebly, wix, webflow etc.) either want to host the page, manage the domain name, or require a fee to link the page to my host. I'm simply looking for a low cost site builder where I can edit my files and move them to my webspace.
Any recommendations for a WSYWIG style editor? I'd be happy to not have to learn any actual coding, but will if I have to.
The last time I did any of this I was manually tagging static pages in notepad (lol).
