Idiot design and engineering for the sake of cheep managers. Same reason they are taking all the air gaps out of critical infrastructure. Instead of having Internet connected monitoring separate from the controls like a normal person, they hook controllers to the Internet too, so they don’t have to pay a technician to come in.

For added stupidity, the department at my job which has monitors and controls online just caused a number of techs who only do monitor and control to retire by making them return to work in office.

Anyone else remember the massive bot net that killed the internet in Europe and half the US doing a DDOS attack over a Minecraft server? Apparently it was mostly made of smart refrigerators, thermostats, and other appliances.

Worked at a place that got obsessed with same or next day shipping. It was clearly killing employee morale and we weren’t selling anything that people needed that quickly. Make a special premium instant ship or something for the people having an emergency but not for everyone. The killer for me was that they were at times doing mandatory overtime during the week and then sending you home early on your required weekend shift so you could have the suck of getting your evenings and schedules killed but without the extra pay.

Unskilled, but none of the managers I had (not WM, mid size mail order company) could keep up. All of them had broken racking, run the forks through walls, and/or torn dock doors off. They were slow, and would put bad pallets in the racks.

So the company liked doing cutting edge corporate stuff and reading books about various CEOs. One time they had us take skill surveys (thinly veiled IQ tests) to optimize new hires. The first batch was based off the high performance people and all quit after two weeks because they were smart enough to know bullshit. The second group was based off the long timers and also didn’t last because they were dumb as rocks. After that they went back to shotgunning everyone at it and seeing what sticks. Open interviews, always posted.

Not really. Despite the tails you hear about people saying they were dead and came back after seeing heaven, and saying stuff like they had a heart attack and died three times on the way to the hospital, those aren’t dead. Do you think any of those cases would be willing to send all their stuff off to whoever is inheriting it? The laws know this and the sentence is not going away on a gotcha. Otherwise people with life sentences or on death row would be trying to give themselves survivable heart attacks all the time. Not a fan of the justice system or the death penalty in general, but this lady is there for a good reason. It may functionally turn into a life sentence but they sure aren’t letting her go free.

Fair, although “the law” usually encompasses the written law, the cops, prosecutors, judges, etc. Fixing the problem will involve adjusting laws, fixing the cop problem, and adjusting the public zeitgeist. Legislation will help. Making an assumption for protection of the victim will go a long ways and doesn’t take away from innocent until proven guilty.

The law favors rapists. I realized a long time ago, just by women that I have known, that the statistics on rape are accurate and also low. I also realized that most men don’t understand that because they are not men who a woman would open up to about that. As for men who are worried about catching false charges, I would say that statistically you are more likely to get raped by another man than catch a fake charge. And because everything favors the rapist, he will probably get away with it.

Businesses aren’t really going to be involved unless Hobby Lobby puts its logo on the blindfold or something. The army already has rifles and ammo. The live stream is probably going out on the DoD and Trump media. Any major outlets can just say they have content restrictions, FCC rules, etc unless they are reeeealy wanting to light themselves on fire for a bad cause. More like if someone tracks the viewers back to neighbors, frat houses, etc. I guess if it was a business owner that people could boycott that might be a thing, but the businesses that would take a hit from that a limited.

Clearly this is full Nazi behavior. One possible good thing that could come out of this is if someone gets the list of who streams it. That would be very helpful if we ever get to the Nazi punching part, or even as a list of boys you won’t want to date or let into the nice places.

Around here, “evolution” and atheism are considered religions. I have personally heard people preach against “those who worship at the altars of science”.

Well, there’s Cathartic, Lutheran, Methodist, Baptist, New Calvinist, Presbyterian, Fellowship, Chirch of Christ. Yep, I think that’s about everyone. The Muslims know to keep their heads down around here because we do this sort of thing and I think we’re ok with the Jews for now.

-The Council probably.

I believe the answer is “if you’re not doing anything wrong, you shouldn’t be concerned.” Or you could use the reason given by police for their searches, “LMAO”.

Smash burgers are all the same. Crisp edges and juicy center. The only thing I’m asking is what cheese.

They might an American Republican. That whole party is obsessed with kids playing with dicks.

About ten years ago if you were educated and attentive.

Correct. Loud, half blown speakers, usually three adds in a cycle. If we just avoid stations that have them.
