“substantial harm to television program copyright owners,”

Give me a fucking break

Question: how the fuck did any of this ever become legal?

I would guess lobbying.

Hello electricians and safety nerds. Fabric softener removes the fire rating on fire rated clothing protecting you from arc flash hazards.

just a heads up for anyone deciding to make their own cables, make sure you buy pass through rj45 ends or it becomes substantially more annoying to make a successful crimp. with pass through you can prep your cable and it doesn't matter how long you make the strands you're working with because you cut the excess off, with non-pass through you have to cut them to a specific size and if it's too long when they bottom out, your conductors will stick out making your crimp weaker inviting poor connection issues later in the cable's life.

thank you for tuning in for this controls tech tip

Additionally, if your bucket handle breaks, you need third party software and hardware to create a matching digital signature to replace the handle.

how about fucking autopilot too instead of having to find a registry to disable it.

Edit: I'm dumb and don't know what I was even being mad at. I should have said copilot, that’s what I actually meant. I didn’t realize autopilot was a thing.

No fine for Perdue or Seaboard Triumph Foods though even though the kids were even allowed in the plants. How could we possibly hold them liable for vetting outside contractors.

What a great interview.

I don't know how to edit the main post on mobile so I'll just add this comment. The message I typed in the screenshot populates in a "pop up bar". The message no longer gets entered where you think it should go and it looks like shit and takes up extra screen space for no reason. I really dislike this change.

I put this on an unlabeled squirt bottle once at work. It was wrong to do because technically it's an OSHA violation for being improperly labeled because it was just in sharpie and not a standard label. But it was night shift I was bored and the bottle was already unlabeled so it was already out of compliance. Why not write on it?

A week or so later I heard people talking about this squirt bottle that said dihydrogen monoxide. Two safety guys were there so I didn't take credit for my shenanigans based on the reception not being great.

I said I think it's just water, but the chemical name. Ya know? Nope, they didn't get it. The kind of doubled down and started talking about things in that link because they "researched the name" and it was actually harmful.

It was a strange experience.

Get out of the pit if you can't hang, boat.

The CEO and now chairman of McDonald’s was paid $19.2 million last year in salary, bonuses and stock, according to federal securities filings.

He was paid a base salary of $1.4 million

Being friendly and just going on his base salary and not all the other piles of money tossed his way, in plebe terms, he makes $673/hour.

There's this third party hotline we use to call in so it's kind of separated in that they may not know our actual policy. Regardless anyone that has personal time knows what it's for.

I called to use a personal day. "Hi I'm calling off for my shift tomorrow. I want to use a personal holiday."

"Ok, why are you calling off?"

"Because I'm using a personal holiday. I have 30 hours left I want to use 10 tomorrow please."

"Ok I have you for 10 hours personal holiday I just need a reason"

"I don't need to provide a reason. It's a personal holiday. As long as it's no less than 8 hours before my shift, I just tell you guys I want to use a personal holiday. I don't have to provide a reason."

"So you don't want to provide a reason?"

"No, thank you."

That was basically the end of the conversation but I was just like "holy fuck lady please just stop" at the end. No one gives reasons for vacation days and personal holidays. Sick days ( if you're lucky enough to have sick time) are implied. Even if I called off, didn't have time to use and ate points, are you going to give me less points if I provide a reason? No. We're not going to do that. We're just being fucking nosey.

He missed the part where you need a lot more money to be able to broadcast your crimes and get away with it.

My experience got noticably worse that time they tried to make their UI look like tictok. I cancelled and deleted my account and have been on tidal ever since.

welcome to costco, i love you

That seems like a bit of government overreach. I thought they didn't like that.

He's speaking as a union rep, I get what you're saying but he just can't call a general strike. It would take years alone to get different trade union contracts to align to expire on the same year to get what he wants to do across. For example I'm in a steelworker union and my contract expires in 2027. If we sign a new contract in 2027 and participate in a general strike it wouldn't be backed by our union and could be punishable. However if they vote to extend the current contract 1 year near the end of the contract (very likely) we would actually have steelworkers and auto workers contracts expiring on the same year which could be interesting if these assholes actually communicated with each other union to union.

Sorry if you knew all this but I took your comment as in a "why not sooner?" or "what are they waiting for?" context so I felt compelled to answer.

GM has blamed the Ultium bottleneck on an unspecified "automation equipment supplier."

Rockwell Automation has entered the chat.

too complicated to bring in the busted piece

time to get good at projecting your project visually on the ceiling like beth harmon in the queen's gambit.
