An employer here can send a doctor to your home to check if you’re really sick if they’re suspecting you to abuse the system. If you’re not at home then you’re in trouble. It can backfire of course. My dad got a visit from a doctor hired by his boss when he was really sick, the guy did his diagnostic, and gave my dad a few extra days of sick leave because the doc found sending him back to work on schedule was not a good idea.

And may the Israeli themselves receive the same right to exist as they give the Palestinians.

That’s how you get droughts and devastating thunderstorms afterwards.

Yeah, it’s got to be old school text based with at best low quality images. Or use extensions like Text Mode. Modern web is very bloated.

Folks were saying this when Tesla released model S, and did a reasonable job on the timeline. That’s 14 years ago. But those were tree hugging fanatics who don’t understand the importance of short term stock prices.

Why? Because other kids say it. And they say it because the cool kids said it. And the cool kids picked it if from some cool adult that used it once because they thought it was funny.

Not only religion. Any institution or organization, no matter what reason it was created, will immediately put continued existence and growth as their first priority.

A 30C heatwave happened once per century before the year 2000. There was one in 1976 and they talked about that one for decades. Then after 2000 it became normal and now we just had one in spring.

Ukraine planend for this. Create shortage in Crimea. Destroy rail connection, destroy the fuel trucks sent to help, forcing Russia to use all their ships out in the open and then destroy the ships when they’re lined up. Whoever is doing the planning in Ukraine, they’re very good.

About the same as a woman getting continuous social media notifications and not being allowed to look at their phone.

It’s been tried and it doesn’t work that well, at in running the shop out of business.

Ukraine has been systematically destroying all air defense and radars. What remains is now around Moscow and Putin’s home. Even if detected, stopping the drones without defense is hard.

Yes, because most of the stock market is tied to the few AI companies. It’s the only thing keeping up the facade of a growing economy. The last thing they need is someone showing investors how unimpressive and easily copied the tech is, especially when they’re all looking to go IPO and cash out.
