One thing I always feel should be pointed out is that Foxconn is enormous. When you look at the number of employees vs number of suicides, they're actually lower than the average company.

Yea! And you also have to worry about any solar panels we install on the moon reflecting more sunlight back at the Earth and heating it up!

Oh wait, no you don't. And if you spend even 2 seconds thinking about it, you'd realize how meaningless of a concern that is.

Fortunately, commercial pilots in the US have access to mental health resources to help treat things like substance abuse or the underlying factors that could lead to it.

Oh wait, I misspoke.

What I meant to say was commercial pilots in the US can not seek mental health resources AT ALL or they get their license revoked by the FAA. Silly me.

Can't get ahold of your friend in Europe and you're from the US? Just wait until you learn about "handwriting a letter and waiting weeks/months for it to get to them and having to wait even longer for a reply"

It's what we used to do before everyone found a much faster and more convenient way of doing something through modern technology.

"Thousands will come after me! Change is nigh!" said the man 93 years ago with relatively little change in working class conditions since.

Hard pass. I don't need a movie of the Star Trek series so bad that many fans, myself included, refuse to acknowledge it as canon.

"Nvidia is faking their boosted performance by using technology that boosts performance!"

I seriously do not get the complaints about DLSS. Does it make games look better with more frames? Oh it does? And only people doing a frame-by-frame analysis to find things to complain about can tell any difference? Ok, so what's the issue? Seems like people are only complaining because it uses the scary AI words and they absolutely refuse to acknowledge that AI could be useful in any way, shape, or form.

I get why Max wasn't added in more after this, but I wish he had been. There are a lack of adults that Calvin both likes and respects. I think a lot of people have childhood memories of the "cool uncle" that only came around a handful of times, but left a lasting impression. Would have been nice to see some of that dynamic.

Is the border of the great lakes really considered a coast?

Never said anything about getting rid of existing judges. Did you know there is NO RULE limiting the Supreme Court to 9 judges?

 

Is it just a matter of not being worth it? I see cooling towers releasing what appears to be a ton of steam, pretty high up. If that steam were captured at the top and allowed to condense, wouldn't that result in a ton of water with a lot of gravitational potential energy? That water could then be released and used to power water turbines. Maybe I'm overestimating the amount of water being released as steam, or underestimating how much is needed to spin a water turbine to get a meaningful result, but it seems like wasted energy to me.

 

I'm aiming to get the 30k steps in a day achievement and was wondering if the app considered a day as in a calendar day, or if it's 30k steps in 24 hours?

30k steps comes out to about 15 miles. If the app goes off 24 hours, I was considering taking a backpacking trip some weekend and hiking half in an afternoon, stopping for the night, and doing the rest in the morning. But if it goes by calendar, I'd have to adjust my plans.

 

I'm moving across the country in a few weeks and am trying to plan my route as I'll be driving a moving van with a car towed behind it. The entire drive will be 16-17 hours.

Google maps seems limited for searching everything I'd want to take into account for the route (pull through gas stations, height requirements, avoiding mountain highways, etc.) and was wondering if anyone knew of a better way to plan out the trip?
