While the mural does not reference a particular cause or incident, its appearance comes two days after almost 900 people were arrested at a London protest against the ban on Palestine Action.

This seems nonsensical to me.

I bought my first apartment because it was like €500 per month cheaper than renting a similar place. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

There are two (or three) versions of the 10 Commandments in the Bible itself, before we even consider translation issues:

Anyway, the NIV translation uses “servant” instead of “slave”, which seems bogus to me.

I got one in the late 1990s. I wore it on a few trips from the US to Europe and was happily never jailed.

I would say that is not a decent boss then. At least, not for that employee.

If a worker is making their colleagues unhappy by being an ass, management should be willing to take appropriate action.

I inherited some workers with bad attitudes when a company I was at merged two teams. On paper it was impossible to fire them, so I wasted so much time trying to get them to fit in. After a year I gave up and went to HR who was like, “oh yeah no problem we’ll let them go”. I didn’t even think that was possible, based on our management training, but it turns out that since their shit attitudes and associated shit performance were well documented it wasn’t a problem. We just paid them severance and off they went.

I was worried about the impact on the other employees, but everyone was happy to see them go.

I talked to one of them months later and he actually thanked me. It turned out that he was unhappy with the job but unable to get motivation to move on. He ended up at Greenpeace for a while; I don’t know how long he stayed there… we were not friends. 😅

You can move and make new friends!

Not sure what to do about the family though. 😔

Marriage is also about allocating resources for taking care of children.

I don’t think this is true, although maybe in some places.

For example, the more gas a business uses in the Netherlands, the less they generally pay per unit. This is terrible for our carbon footprint, where we basically subsidize the worst emitters. 😟

That’s what I thought but there’s slightly more than that.

The writer tried to trick ChatGPT 5, saying Vermont has no R in it. ChatGPT did say “wait, it does”. But then when pushed it said, “oh right there is no R in Vermont”.

I mean… the inability to know what it knows or not is a real problem for most use cases…

Netanyahu is a terrible human being but an amazing politician.

In Israel all governments are coalition governments, and as Netanyahu got less and less mainstream support he tacked further and further to the right, joining with crazy religious fundamentalists because that was the only way to stay in power.

My understanding is that very shortly after losing power he will end up in court on corruption charges, and maybe die in prison. Not because of crimes against humanity, but for crimes against Israel.

The maximum is 61%, which doesn’t seem that high to me. It means 3 of 5 Democrats trust the most trusted source.

Much more important to me is that the Republicans basically only have one news source that they trust: Fox News.

The distrust of the news is a great tool for fascists, because in a post-truth world they can just substitute whatever nonsensical, hate-filled ideas they want for reality.

There are more Jews in the USA than in Israel?

A TCP session is a unique combination of client IP, client port, server IP, and server port.

So you can use the same IP and port as long as the destination is a different IP or port.

This means that in principle you could use the same IP and port to connect to every IP address on the Internet using 65536 concurrent sessions. 😆

This wouldn’t help going to popular destinations, since they have a lot of people going to the same IP address and port, but for many (most?) of them you probably have some sort of CDN servers in your data centers anyway.

I switched like 25 years ago. For a long time I had a Windows partition for booting up games, until Microsoft stopped accepting my old licenses. Luckily I really didn’t care at that point.

I mean, it sounds like you’re spending 12 hours a day in a polluted city so…

He was asked if he has an age limit. Misunderstanding the question about what his maximum age would be, he replies that he wouldn’t be like a Congressman who had sex with 12 year olds.

He said 12 is too young for him.

Planes are the safest form of transportation if you look at safety per km travelled. If you look at other metrics, like safety per trip or per travel time then they are less safe than busses or trains.

I’m not the person you’re asking but surely they just told the compiler to treat warnings as errors after that. No warnings can creep in then!
