  There’s nothing stopping them from firing you, but a one time offense will not get the government to deny you you unemployment, assuming you appeal any denial. Especially if the only other ammo they have is from five years ago.

  Extremely doubtful that this would rise to a firing that was justified enough that would preclude the employees seeking unemployment. They would really want to have a longer paper trail than “CEO sent a slack message and then a meeting a week later.” Not saying that this was an illegal firing. This was just power tripping.

  I got laid off about five and a half years ago, at the start of Covid. The meeting was with my manager and his boss (who I was also friendly with). I got a meeting invite and asked if we could push it back an hour so I could drive my wife to work, they said sure. I told my wife on the drive that I was getting laid off. Sure enough, I was. They paid me five weeks severance and gave me resources to file for unemployment. It was due to Covid causing a huge drop in money coming in, which was understandable. Honestly, I didn’t like my job, I had already hired a company to rewrite my resumé. So it worked out. At least my boss and his boss had the spine to do it personally. I’ll always give them credit for that.

  Than 35? No, you’re not going to build a new printer from scratch for less than $35, especially if you don’t have another printer to print parts.

  Buy a hotend, figure out what you did wrong previously, and fix your machine.

  There is a difference between talking about sex and gender and something being sexual. If a shopkeeper mentions his husband, I can extrapolate that he’s at least bi, but that doesn’t mean the game is sexual.

  It must be exhausting, going through life, being this stupid.

  Ironically, I left DuckDuckGo and switched to Kagi when DDG announced their AI.

  Bees literally do not use hexagons, they make roughly round shapes and the force of the surrounding cells compresses them into hexagons. This is called self-organization and it’s observable in bubbles as well.

  When you use apple or android pay, it generates a temporary card number etc and uses that, which means if that payment terminal gets compromised, your card number etc isn’t exposed. Your bank could probably do something similar without Google or Apple as the middleman, but until they do, mobile pay will remain a killer app.
