  Look at this guy with his sick leave and ability to stay home and rest when he’s sick!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨xkcd #3142: -Style Pizza⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Actually, provel was engineered to be the perfect cheese for pizza. It stays melty after it cools which keeps the pizza stay gooey even when the pizza is cold. Pepperoni, onions, sausage, and green peppers is the perfect way to eat it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Clock logic⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You don’t need the am or pm 90% of the time because obviously a lunch date is happening sometime around noon, not midnight. A lunar eclipse or meteor shower isn’t visible while the sun is up, or a midnight snack isn’t happening in the middle of the day. Obviously if you are talking trains and flights, you need AM and PM. But people who are used to 12 hour time don’t want to figure out when 16:00 is, so they don’t.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Clock logic⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Why are the 60 minutes in an hour but 24 hours in a day? What functional difference is there between tne 12 and 24 hour clock? Are you showing up to your friend’s dinner party at 6am because you weren’t sure what time they wanted to start dinner? Are you unsure if your picnic is supposed to be right after midday or the middle of the night? Maybe your friend wanted to meet up for coffee and a bagel when you normally go to bed instead of right before you head off for lunch

  If you don’t force your employees to use it, people will start to ask why you are spending so much on something no one at the company asked for or uses. Once you realize that businesses are all about self interest and quarterly profits, it makes much more sense.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Too soon?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I am so glad that i live in the timeline where Charlie Kirk was the sole victim of a school shooting. I’m glad he could die defending the Second Amendment

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The USA prided itself on a nation of immigrant, heck even the Statue of Liberty says it. When did immigrants (US citizens from the old world) become anti immigrant and why?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  They became anti-immigrant once they had kids and saw other people arriving to the boat. My sister in law’s family are refugees from El Salvador. Now they are all raging Trumpers, despite half of them not being naturalized yet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AOL announces September shutdown for dial-up Internet access⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  By sabotaging all the other countries that are dependent on our corporations. The problem is that most of our corporations don’t even make anything anymore, so everyone is starting to get wise

  Telomere also don’t matter when replication enzymes add a random adenosine into a gene that controls genetic proofreading.

  I work in a print shop and i also hate the printer.

  Fuck you Xante. I hate you so much

  That’s why i pur it on their coat. It’s a fun little snack for them to find later

  You can’t fool me. I’ve read Moby Dick and Melville dedicated an entire chapter about how whales are absolutely fish

  Why would i meed a bridge simulator when i could just go visit my grandma and play with her and the other ladies at the retirement home?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨advertisement⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No, because our stomachs still do most of the work. It just makes it easier for the fuy fauna to access other nutrients.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Coding students whose jobs were taken by AI forced to find work at Chipotle⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Pay no attention to the massive layoffs across the tech sector the last 2 years. Definitely the workers’ faults

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨SpaceX Gets Billions From the Government. It Gives Little to Nothing Back in Taxes⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What’s the difference between fresh vegetable and raw vegetables?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Companies be like⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  People are paying for them because they are brain dead MBA’s who think it’s the future. My litttle library in rural Ohio doesn’t have shit about the Mau Mau rebellion. Knowledge collections are worthwhile. Opening up a new nuclear plant so that you can fire all your customer support staff and replace them with chatbots is not useful.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI experts return from China stunned: The U.S. grid is so weak, the race may already be over⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  To be fair though, pur grid is absolutely ass and held together by electrical tape and broken dreams. Because it turns out apending the 40 years gutting the public sector of everything useful and not doing proper maintainence left the US unable to adapt. I apend a lot of time in Lakewood Ohio, a trendy and high density suburb of Cleveland, and they have had weekly blackouts all year because First Energy (of corruption infamy) has refused to do the necessary upkeep.

  Privatizing our utilities was a mistake

  Well, at least a third child was Lyle’s. The fist two may have been Dennis’s

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, and fortunately the DLC the host has ourchased alis available to all party members when doing multiplayer, even if others haven’t purchased it. I would say that PI does DLC properly.

  You can’t make teflon without the PFAS though. It’s like saying AIDS is completely different than HIV

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Companies be like⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Youtube and Netflix provide an actually useful service that allows people to watch/share videos. LLMs use an obscene amount of energy to do what is essentially just a fancy google search. Comparing the 2 is not justified

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI industry horrified to face largest copyright class action ever certified⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tucson City Council votes 7-0, unanimously to kill AI Data Center⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Because closed loops are more expensive in the short term, making it a non-starter

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apart, low in cholesterine⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  At that point idk how you could actually eat anything from a grocery store since everything there is likely processed in a facility that handles wheat. In fact, i would say meat products and farm to table produce are probably the only items at a grocery store that haven’t come into contact with some sort of allergen.
