Good, I want them to have pressure to not get sued, so their premiums stay low. If we as a society decide this kind of policing is too expensive, then we can invest that money in o…

I know what qualified immunity is, and I think it’s a problem. Police don’t get any consequences for their bad actions, so they have no incentive to change. Their toxic culture and…

Yeah I like that plan better, but it’s just not happening. Tax payers end up paying the lawsuits, and the cops get released once the attention dies down.

There needs to be insurance for police, just like there is for doctors. Once an individual cop has repeated judgements against them they won’t be insurable, instead of the current …

Wall-e!

Education is not a proxy for intelligence. There are plenty of smart people who don’t have formal education (including many in this forum). Yes, higher education rates lead to lowe…

There’s a difference between servitude and slavery. Servitude is voluntary, slavery is not. There’s a gradation between them, and indentured servitude is somewhere in between the t…

I loved my time at recurse and also had some similar experiences to you. There were cliques and social dynamics that I didn’t fully understand or didn’t want to be involved in, but…

If you pay attention you’ll see that apples are more expensive the longer it’s been since apple season. They’re cheapest in fall, and the price rises over the year. They store real…

The AI still can’t understand that Armenian cucumbers should have a MUCH higher potential humor value than milk.

I’m really grateful for the time I spent at the recurse center! Thank you for all the work that goes into making such a special community.

Can you defer enrollment in your masters program? Then you can go to Amazon, and the program is waiting for you if you don’t like it or get laid off.

You can just ask for vaccines at the pharmacy. I got a potentially missed childhood vaccination as an adult and they asked a few questions about why I wanted it, but were happy to …

Like the Jones act but for gloves

I think they were citing the first human case of rabies transmitted by a bat, not the first case of rabies recorded in bats.

I have a Google doc shared with close friends and family that I keep updated with info in case I’m seriously injured or dead. It doesn’t have passwords or anything harmful to leak,…

One of the characteristics bee breeders look for is hygiene- more hygienic bees will remove more of their own mites. It’s not entirely dependent on the type of bee.

Well, I’ve only got 10 fingers, so looks like my time there would be limited to 900 days.

Stoked to see this site! I agree with others that a map-based search would be neat, to find local coops. One link correction: 1620 worker is https://www.1620usa.com/ not 1620workwe…

A static site is much less vulnerable to security issues.

Sounds like someone had an internal “team bonding” hackathon

Now may be the right time to HAVE a union, but the time to unionize was when engineers had more power. That same soft job market means we have much less leverage to unionize than w…

Thank you for this comment. I paid a little extra to get a helmet with mips but didn’t even think about my (long) hair serving the same function.

Active shooter, chemical spill, any kind of building emergency like water stoppages. And then if it wasn’t tightly controlled and carefully managed, probably things like social eve…
