@textualdeviance @Wikisteff @Haste @gulovsen And the further you go, the less grounded to reality it gets. It actually lists "buying less plastic" as a thing adults should do to address climate change 🤦‍♂️

@CdnCurmudgeon I don't think any of those are new phenomena though.

@textualdeviance @Wikisteff @Haste @gulovsen Agreed.

And there were other similar issues with the article. "Nuclear bombs weren't going off in their classrooms every day," the article says, implying that mass shootings are going off every day. But that's only true if you're watching the national news. Most kids have never been near a shooting, much less involved in one, and the "active shooter" drills that adults make them repeat over and over seem to be feeding the problem more than the solution.
Likewise "robots are going to take their jobs" is a century-old concern with shiny new branding.

Kids do have legitimate reasons to feel sad and depressed in the modern day, but 90% of those reasons are the same ones kids have been dealing with since the dawn of humanity.

@ThinkingSapien But the answer to your initial query, where employees choose their days, is still 100.

@ThinkingSapien Okay, yep, if you schedule it properly, the answer is indeed 60. I wrote a scheduler to test my theory. I've included the source code and results below.

@ThinkingSapien Wait, I see the flaw in my math. Let me run the proper numbers.

@ThinkingSapien In a proper workspace for human beings? No.
In a box-factory for employee-person-units? Sure, you could get it down to 3/5ths (based on 3 days per 5 day work week), so 60 desks.

@ThinkingSapien Of their choosing? Then, 100.

@ThinkingSapien I won't be surprised when that becomes a major driving factor for employees seeking new jobs either.

@ZachWeinersmith Correct. It's not about winning the lawsuit. It's about intimidating the target (and sometimes also about fundraising from his army of rubes). He knows he has more money and can throw more resources at an army of lawyers. All he has to do is commit more than they can afford to combat. It's a war of attrition.

@brody I like being able to use reaction GIFs, but I agree that they should be limited; smaller sizes, animate only on mouse-over, that kind of thing.

@fu @nsarwark Are they though? Seems to me most government-backed currencies are more-or-less expected to slowly lose value over time. Their goal seems to be less about wealth creation and more about stabilization.
Bonds would be closer to the fiat version of investment product, I would think.

@ServerWrestler No way. After everything we've seen at this point, he really is just that stupid.

It is interesting how hard it is for most of us to grok that people that "successful" can be that stupid, but I guess that's institutionalized nepotism for you...

@ifixcoinops If you've got the budget for it, I've been using Gigenet professionally for 5+ years for both cloud and dedicated servers. They're a bit pricey, but their tech is solid and their customer service is top-notch.
