Interesting. Not sure if it is at related, but this made me think of the singularly before the Big Bang.

Yeah, here in the US almost every state has "at will" employment, so any protections could really be circumvented by just firing a worker for whatever other reason (or no reason at all) they want. Hopefully labor has it better in the land down under.

A "performance improvement plan." Basically a way for employers to set unrealistic expectations and fire the employee with less risk of a lawsuit for wrongful termination. Although since almost every state has "at will" employment now, it hardly seems necessary.

Yeah, nicotine is a vasoconstrictor. Smaller blood vessels = higher blood pressure and higher risk of heart attacks and stroke.

The Rafah border crossing is currently closed due to an Israeli air strike. Might reopen tomorrow. Might be bombed again.

It is currently closed because of an Israeli air strike. Might open again tomorrow. Or it might be bombed again.

If you haven't bought a bidet (like $50-100 and a few minutes to install) or shower every time you poop, you are probably covered in feces right now. Toilet paper alone is kind of gross.

I've loved the cyberpunk genre since its inception, and loved Witcher 3, but skipped this game because I don't like vomiting. Some of us just can't play FPS games without terrible nausea, especially when they have a field of view that can't be zoomed out very far.

Relay is the app I've been using for the past decade. It's great, and I would pay a subscription fee even though I paid for the app, but it wouldn't solve the other issues with the site. Mods still wouldn't have the tools they need to be effective and NSFW posts wouldn't be accessible, for example. Plus I don't like the idea of giving money to companies run by the likes of Steve Huffman.
