Disaster for Biden? He'll be fine.
We're fscked.
Yeah, I was gonna say, they wouldn't make it to BLTs with me.
Although, when I'm frying them I like to let them just barely start to turn red.
What I read at the time was that it was dropped because of the death threats the victim was getting.
Of course, even if the McDonald's budget may have been "realistic" in some areas 10 years ago, I don't think wages have kept up with the rise of prices for rent, groceries, etc in the intervening decade.
Years ago I saw an article about a robot designed to hunt and kill insects as a healthier pest control mechanism in farming. That robot would put the insects into a hopper where they would be converted to fuel to run the robot.
I figured it wasn't going to be too long before they'd be eating us.
only if you let yourself be exploited as an underpaid protoslave
We're from the U.S. Anything less than that would feel too foreign.
Biden could probably win by promising to resign after Inauguration Day. I think the devils we know are making the devil we don't know look attractive.
I'm not Catholic, but can't you just make regular jello, and then have the priest bless it?
Or it shouldn't be a fine, but criminal prosecution for the executives responsible.
It's worse than that. Conservatives want everything to change. Back to the early 1800's.
You're just not killing enough people. At some point the heirs decide to give it all away.
I'd have to hit 130.
I'm not sure there's even that much more of this century I want to see.
The only worse choice for CEO is Chambers. She had a valid reason to just fire his ass. If he's not willing to do what he's told to do, then he's not willing to do his job. It looks to me like the board wanted to get rid of him for reasons that had nothing to do with cancer. Why reference the cancer at all?
I have the feeling the only reason they didn't just get rid of him was because of the cancer diagnosis. Trying to be "nice". But even if the cancer was the reason for not just cutting him loose, there's no reason to bring it up.
How does the CEO not know referencing the cancer would expose them to liability? Did they not sit down with their lawyers before sitting down with him?
Now they're probably going to lose in court and be forced to pay him off.
They should fire Chambers.
Perhaps people on Lemmy just aren't learning anything.
That which doesn't kill you probably isn't a parasitic wasp sting.
How do I reference my Lemmy account outside of Lemmy?
This is probably a stupid question, but if I want to add a line to a PDF telling people to direct any comments to my Lemmy account, how would I specify that?
What are the age ranges for various generic age descriptors, eg, "ancient" "elderly" "old" "young"?
Obviously teenager is 13-19.
"Young adult" would start at 20, but where's the cutoff at the upper end? Similarly, what's the range for "adult", "old", "elderly", " ancient"?
If someone asks for responses from "old men", how do I know if it applies to me?
[WDW] [MK] Cinderella Mosaic in Magic Kingdom Castle
It seemed like every time we visited WDW, there was some event or show taking place in front of Cinderella's Castle, and the interior was closed.
When I visited as a kid, you'd walk through the castle and ooh and aah at the mosaic.
I've wanted to see the mosaic again for years, and it was always closed. I finally got the chance again last time, and I took some pictures.
Theme parks like Disney World have been popular for decades, but are the high ticket prices, long lines, and stress associated with the modern-day experience worth the hassle anymore?
Where has this guy been?
When my wife and I went to Disney World in 1996, we planned nothing in advance. We found ourselves waiting in massive lines for rides and spending hours waiting for tables in restaurants. We realized we screwed up and we had to do better.
That was 27 years ago. Since then, we had kids and raised them to adulthood.
Every trip after that we scheduled reservations in advance. Every morning we wake up, we know what park we are going to. We spend about 20 minutes every day we are there planning that day's activities, and we roll with whatever changes we encounter.
I don't understand how having a plan in place in advance of your vacation somehow makes it more stressful. I've always thought it was easier to not have to wonder what we'll be doing and where we'll be going during our Disney trips.
Are there really people who insist on just showing up with no plan and then blame Disney when they are stressed?
Also, it seems like most of the Disney criticism I see is coming from Fox news in some form or another. Is that just my news feed, or is it an extension of the culture war that the right is trying to foment?
Does Florida's SB 1718 violate the full faith and credit clause of the US Constitution?
Title is my question. It seems like refusing to recognize other state's driver licenses would be blatantly unconstitutional. Is there something I'm missing?

Do you ignore work mail or messages?
I tend to at least look at every work email I receive. Likewise for Teams messages. If I see a notification of a new communication, I tend to check it and see if I need to respond. I don't always respond, but I always look at the message.
In various virtual meetings, I've seen other people's notifications when they share their desktop, and it seems like some people just don't bother even looking at them.
Am I the weird one? Does everyone just ignore messages they receive at work?

[WDW] What's your favorite restaurant in Disney World?
What's your favorite Disney World Restaurant, and what is it about that restaurant that makes it your favorite?
Without any deep thought, the first one that popped into my mind was Narcoossee's. The food is amazing, and there's a great view of fireworks if you're there in the evening.
When my wife and I went to WDW after she graduated from school (1996, I think?), we stayed on property at the Grand Floridian. It was my first time staying in a Disney resort. We arrived too early to check in, so we went to Narcoossee's for lunch.
The last time we went to WDW (2021), we took our adult children with us, and had a wonderful dinner with everyone together at Narcoossee's.

Poop eating etiquette
I told Daisy that it's rude to breathe in people's faces while you're eating your own poop. She says she's never heard of such a rule.

Clicking a post takes me to a different post.
This is happening fairly often. When I click on a post title to open a post, it takes me to a different post. Seems to always be sports scores. I'm not sure if it's always the same post it takes me to. I'll have to try to remember to actually note where it's taking me.
If I go back, it takes me back to where I was, and the post title indicates it has been opened, but if I tap it again, it takes me to the correct post.
It's not quite predictable, and it isn't repeatable.

Swollen eyes, a hunchback and claw-like hands: Grotesque model reveals what remote-workers will look like in 70 years
The latest propaganda trying to scare people away from work from home (WFH) comes appropriately enough from so-called "experts" at a company whose entire existence depends on making sure that workers are forced to work in office buildings.
It seems like they have an opportunity to pivot to providing furniture for home offices, but they've opted instead to rely on scare tactics to try to maintain the same old, dying business plan.
What are your thoughts on the future of WFH? Are you for or against? Why?
What are your thoughts on groups like this and the propaganda they post?
