This? Idk I think the UK should be more worried about Atlantic current collapse

Yeah, it is noteworthy that nobel prize winners are particularly susceptible to conspiratorial thinking under the assumption that being one of the smartest people in the world in one very specific subject means they are the smartest in the world in general.

Personally, as a New Mexico resident, I live in New Mexico. I live in New Mexico. I live in New Mexico. I live in New Mexico. I live in New Mexico. I live in New Mexico. I live in New Mexico.

Do it up Minnesota style. These organizations don’t come from nowhere. Talk to your neighbors. Express these concerns to them. If they share your concerns, connect them with one another. It doesn’t have to be “organize a paramilitary force” but it does have to start with knowing who is with you in your community

Yes, it is their fault, and also, that fault is a widespread problem

The harder to obtain materials aspect, while long term relevant, is barely a factor right now. Lithium production has exploded and resulted in a massive drop in prices that’s making the main consumer appeal for sodium batteries, price, a non-factor and driving some sodium battery producers out of business

It’s not like MIT and the Harvard business review have published studies that have shown that AI is actually best suited to replacing executives and management in order to flatten organizations. But unfortunately, management and executives make the decisions on who AI replaces, and they don’t want to be replaced. Hell at the company I’m at right now they’ve been axing low level workers and bringing on or promoting the ladder climbers (read: AI sycophants who do the least work) to manager or department head roles, saying that us grunts can “10x” to fill the gaps, and that all we need is good and creative leadership to direct our AI use. I could go off on things this business is doing to shoot itself in the foot for hours, even without mentioning AI

This. And chromebooks are glorified tablets. Much less capable than a proper laptop, much less for a child to learn than a proper laptop. Google did MASSIVE pushing to get chromebooks into the classroom to get kids hooked on their platform as early as possible

Is this a thing? Because what comes to mind for me is “the market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent,” which just happens sometimes

It’s not uncommon in firearms training programs to note that it’s harder to be sued by a dead man

Yeah, the same ones that were actually humans in costumes every time they were shown off for years

Friday, not Thursday, fwiw

Maybe a stupid question, but how do I broach this with work? Do I call in sick? Do I express explicitly that I am striking? Do I just not show up? Are there legal protections for general strikes (hahahahahahaha, in this country?)?

Been a while since I’ve lived in MN but the Star Tribune is the big one

As a reminder, the cutoff on psychopathy assessment is 5 points higher in the US than elsewhere. You can literally be considered a psychopath by the same assessment elsewhere in the world and be considered just normal in the US

Reminder: Toyota is also the third biggest anti climate lobbyist in the world

When I lived in an area with high opiate addiction rates, I regularly saw bumper stickers which read “shoot your local drug dealer.” They made me absolutely livid. The dealer is only doing anything because the Sacklers got them addicted

You’re very right. Also worth noting that while very limiting, balcony solar is gaining popularity and can be done by some renters. If you have a balcony that gets sun, you can put some panels up over the railing, feed em into a battery or other “portable” system.

Yeah this is literally what happened in 2008. Economic instability stopped banks from lending to would be individual home buyers, but corpos bought up everything they could eagerly with a 20% price cut.
