You swear correctly. He is the boatman of the river Styx. He ferries souls to Hades in the afterlife if the individual was buried with the ferry toll. If they didn't have the ferry toll they'd be fated to wandering the banks of the river Styx for 100 years before they could cross.

I think it's a cool name. Apologies if this was intended sarcasm and it went over my head.

He missed the part where you need a lot more money to be able to broadcast your crimes and get away with it.

I was just at a depressing job fair trying to recruit for maintenance. It was held at a plant set to close in 3 days. Most of the people I talked to were there for 30 years. It was partially employee owned. Somehow a person in power (I don't know the piece of shit's title) convinced the employees to sell their share at the promise of expansion and investment.

The person in power closed the shop, cashed out, and retired. Will not have to worry about a thing. 200 some people and families now have their lives upended at the benefit to few.

This kind of aligns more with the person you responded to but still relevant.

She looks more on the split side if you ask me.

I put this on an unlabeled squirt bottle once at work. It was wrong to do because technically it's an OSHA violation for being improperly labeled because it was just in sharpie and not a standard label. But it was night shift I was bored and the bottle was already unlabeled so it was already out of compliance. Why not write on it?

A week or so later I heard people talking about this squirt bottle that said dihydrogen monoxide. Two safety guys were there so I didn't take credit for my shenanigans based on the reception not being great.

I said I think it's just water, but the chemical name. Ya know? Nope, they didn't get it. The kind of doubled down and started talking about things in that link because they "researched the name" and it was actually harmful.

It was a strange experience.

Someone had one posted in a discord chat I was in to calculate the resistance on a resistor by image. It didn't even give you the color band chart to calculate anything. Just "What resistor is 200Ω?"

The only good thing about third shift was being drunk at 8am convincing yourself it's normal because 8am is your night time.

Question: how the fuck did any of this ever become legal?

I would guess lobbying.

Buy a commercial TV. It's a plain jane TV. I put one in as a SCADA, but it's just a tv with no frills. When I saw what it was, I knew when I'd need to purchase a tv this would be the type I wanted.

If you don't know someone that burns old oil put it in an old container and throw it away in the trash.
