I’ve see pictures of the barriers before the accident and they were there, but they looked like they were tailored to 70s era ships not the container laden ships of today


If this means I have to abandon my clicky keyboard I give up.


People in 1000 BC is maybe not the best example here considering practically the entire population of Egypt was tasked with building or supporting the building of the pyramids among many other projects.


I think that's just as good of an example as any. Do you think pharaohs hired and fed more slaves than they needed to build a pyramid just to maximize worker numbers, or so the extra could sit around and take it easy?

Egypt had shops and Merchants too.

Can you think of any time between then and now where things worked that way?

A pizza place near me in a very nice area of St Paul MN was busted for being a drug front... I always thought it was weird that no one seemed to actually go there. From the look of the place you could kinda tell they were probably just cooking frozen pizzas if anyone did go there. I always suspected something was off.

Turns out I was 100% correct, I have great drug-front-radar, it is at the top of my resume.


Happens fairly often, it seems. My favorite pizza place growing up (they had the terminator 2 light gun arcade game!) got busted for dealing out of the back and closed down as a result.

I don't think they ever cross contaminated a pie and got customers high, though.


I've never seen a Jenkins instance that did not need to be open to the public internet in order to support GitHub webhooks. Granted they were using IP based restrictions but it's still not behind a corporate network by any stretch in that setup.


How does this square with "Only exceptional performance will constitute a passing grade" from his latest tirade/email


According to Twitter employees on platforms like Blind and news sources, Twitter (the website) is the only datapoint for communication with their new boss.


It being an asshole thing to do to people in positions of power has been the reason for parody for literally thousands of years.


Ceding territories in a forced negotiation to only set the stage for the next conflict is not peace, it's appeasement.


I keep hearing references to this study that precipitated the famous “no more WFH Fridays” decision but I can’t actually seem to find it. Do you have a link?
