Had a boss that refused to give me full time cause that would cost company more money, but would harass me if I ever called out. Would remind him that he refused to make me full time and didn’t give me a raise that year so I sure as hell wasn’t driving through a blizzard to come to work a night when I hadn’t been scheduled until 15 minutes before he called.

Should have used ALF. He liked cats because they were delicious.

Stop insisting people have the right to torture animals.

Edit: Seems lemmy is worse at context than reddit ever was.

Feeding cats and other obligate carnivores a vegan diet is torture the same way feeding humans a sawdust only diet would be.

“Just following orders” is not an excuse no matter how it’s veiled.

She took part in a violent insurrection with the ultimate goal of overturning an election and destroying democracy.

She had every opportunity to no being a cesspool of bigotry, racism and fascist supporter. Instead she chose at every option to continue her path.

She’s an only fans thot, this is just advertising to her simps

What the hell are you putting on pizza that a burnt piece of bread is the healthiest part?

If you think the single men are bad that age, look at the women!

Me who bought AMD cpu and gpu last year for my new rig cause fuck the massive mark up for marginal improvement on last gen stats.

Rule one of management is their problem is everyone below thems problem. Conflicting info/orders? You should know who is right. Bad info given? Why did you do something so dumb? Short staffed? Figure it out. Day side is short? Why arent you helping your team?

If you have any responsibilities on overnights save for run a machine to hit quotas there is always going to be some dumb mandate or oversight from management on the dayside that your team is going to take a hit for.

As a night shifter, occasionally this is a perk. You can get simple questioned answered the same day, and if there is ever some kind of policy issue it can be brought to their attention relatively easily. To say nothing of an emergency situation where you need someone above shift supervisor, management may say call them in an emergency but they never answer their phone at 3am but god forbid you don’t pick up on the third ring at 2pm when you’ve been asleep since noon.

Good luck explaining infinite atmosphere would mean infinite gravity and we’d be crushed into a black hole.

But yeah, sure. Earth is the flat object in the observable universe and NASA totally has the power and budget to make possible test you can do to prove otherwise wrong.

Are you saying Japanese lore of 2000 year old fox ladies lied to me?

I don’t see how your post refutes his? Russia is big, but it’s sparsely populated, especially anywhere east of Moscow until you get to Vladivostok. Countries other than Russia in their grid equally if not more so sparsely populated. Top that with disparities in Quality of Life between the two grids, and you find the larger one using less power because it’s services less clients who use less electricity.

Accounting for mining, construction, operation, decommission and disposal, nuclear has less emission that Solar.

The political problems are entirely artificial, fabricated by the fossil fuel competitors and have been soundly disproven.

Nuclear waste is no where near the problem people assume it is. A single plant doesn’t produce more than it can store onsite during it’s entire operation and 100% of all the waste can actually be recycled and ran through newer generation breeder reactors to ‘burn’ the radioactivity and render the resulting ‘waste’ safe as background radiation within a decade or so in a cooling pool. The only reason this isn’t already common practice is nuclear fuel is so abundant it’s not as profitable to do this, It’d be the equivalent of a coal power plant halting using coal for a few weeks so they could shovel in trash from a nearby landfill until it was empty. Less overall power output for less profit.

I’m not against renewables but utilizing them as our main source of energy just is not practical for long term, there are serious ecological issues that have been sidelined because of global warming/climate change. Things like rooftop solar only become viable in low density housing, but low density housing is also not good use of land.

I don’t know to laugh or cry when I see peole quote the thousands of years waste storage of nuclear. That’s never been a thing, and never will be.

Land usage is what makes nuclear the most ecologically sound solution. Solar and wind play their part. But for every acre of land, nuclear tops the chart of power produced per year. And when you’re trying to sate the demand of high density housing and businesses in cities, energy density becomes important. Low carbon footprint is great for solar and wind but if you’re also displacing ecosytems that would otherwise be sucking up carbon, its not as environmentally friendly as we’d like.
