xkcd 927 in action right there.

Zigbee works just fine, but needs a hub to share out devices eg internet access or HomeKit. But it is quick. How thread compares remains to be seen.

Hitting particularly cold water makes it even worse.

You can improve a skill by visualizing your performance of the skill.

But you need to have the experience beforehand to be able to understand what you’re visualizing.

So - absolutely not.

There’s enough people locally who die that it seems reasonable for me to project that thousands die globally each year because they have no clue how to swim, but other people are there having fun in the water and how hard could it be?

When everything is high viz with flashing lights and alerts, nothing is high-viz.

Agreed.

The way I think it should be is:

• mandatory 25 days of vacation, plus statutory holidays
• mandatory vacation is subtracted from any performance targets (i.e. it is accounted for in business planning and not offloaded to the employee)
• vacation beyond that is unlimited, but may impact your performance
• major anniversary events within the company grant paid leave of absences

To the last point - I don’t recall which company it was - I have seen one where after a certain period of service your granted a 3 or 6 month leave of absence to go do something else. Travel the world, get really deep into Japanese joinery, or build a new version of DNS. I think that’s something that is healthy for humans.

Unlimited PTO is an accounting dodge because PTO shows up as a liability on the books if it is defined, because if they liquidate the business they need to pay it out in lieu. And number doesn’t go up.

Which is why they also don’t allow carry-over in most cases.

Glyphosate is no angel but one reason it’s so popular is that its ill effects are relatively benign.

That’s why I said “often” and “some cities”. It’s not universal. I support congestion pricing.

Yes, and often the core area is not affordable on retail, services, or even trade salary so they have to commute in, and the hours may dictate that they can’t take transit; even some large cities have a service pause overnight.

I used my work address. My work is small enough that it’ll filter to me eventually if they snail mail me.

Lmao. Nvidia, Apple, Amazon, google, Microsoft.

Maybe instead of roads designed for 80, set to 60, and reduced to 40, and then speed-camera’d, they could (get this) build roads that encourage drivers to follow the limit.
