That fucking pie chart partition allocation bullshit. Christ almighty.
The pain it inflicts upon me... Ever since that thing appeared it's been horrible. It errors if you look at it wrong, and who knows what it's really doing?

In these anecdotes, the people mentioned are rebelling for different reasons, in an effort to control choices relating to personal habits, as they modify what are perceived as necessary social obligations and compulsory public behavior, when interacting with modern technology and devices.
It still doesn't provide for the reality that most large chains are fairly efficient, and optimized to begin with, resulting in most tasks being dumbed down to the point that actual last-mile labor activity is mostly unskilled.
Whether or not a worker in a fast food restaurant can foment a bidding war between two locations, operating the same brand, for his or her skills as a human resource, is negated by the fact that there isn't much skill beyond being a warm body. All the hard work of a fast food franchise is performed in the supply chain, by accomplishing delivery of a uniform meal across wide areas of service.
Diners, Chinese take-out and other varieties of greasy spoon don't have this problem, because there isn't anything unique about what the preparers do. The only time you see contention for personnel, is when identity and distinction separates one from another.
Rare situations such as recipe inventions, and new menu items come from innovative chefs who dream up things like the Cronut. Unless something like that is in play, this protection clause is somewhat vestigial. Most franchise agreements render such innovation impossible anyway, since deviating from branded products represents a violation of terms all its own.
Because you can't plug in the lighting connector headphones into old lighting ports on other devices pre-dating the 7, and get an audio signal.

Looking at HN repackages, that actually show me the visual snapshots of all the articles from the main page, I find myself consumed by nausea, seeing the cacophony of repellent ad-addled page layouts all together, all at once.
A comparable awful experience is letting the Slack app stream live updates into a dedicated channel with the RSS Slack app, totally uncurated, so that you can scroll back through a week's worth of article snippets. That little experiment proved to me how finicky I really am, compared to what so many others happen to find interesting, and how small any given individual's tendencies might be, when taken as a defined subset within a large community.
Everything else is so-so, in between.
To be adequately effective, though, all back-up activities would require the full authentication credentials for all verification factors, which might only be possible with, say, a fingerprint scanner (touchbar) equipped laptop, or additional external hardware peripherals for other types of systems.
We know that hormonal derivatives like steroids can influence appearance, and also that ambient secretions offer signaling at a distance among humans, in circumstances not limited to the synchronization of menstrual cycles, at a minimum.
Take these factors together, and exclusive close proximity to gender concentrations based on preference likely results in mild changes in appearance that automated analysis can determine as a non-zero signal, and hazard an informed guess with. People are not wrong in claiming that this is a form of stereotyping, and that sometimes the stereotype will be incorrect.
People may not like it, but just because you can't see it, doesn't mean it's not there.

This is the sort of thing that scares most people into tepid, mediocre Dad humor at work. Sometimes, that's a healthy fear to have, even if finding yourself burdened by such constraints is unfortunate.

Fewer Gif's, fewer emojis — they can be
funny and endearing in the right context,
but just feel forced and obtuse in a work
setting.
The emotional responses being grasped at by most workplace humor is contaminated by power differential, and practical need for a high signal-to-noise ratio so that shit actually gets done. Snappy banter is frequently an accumulation of unwanted cruft, depending on the performer and the audience.
When HR or an operations manager, or anyone else with serious authority in their hands, try their hand at anything other than Dad humor, unless they're extremely clever, and the joke is deftly crafted (usually not the case), the result is often inadvertently crass, and compounded by the Dunning-Kruger effect augmenting their awareness of how unfunny or otherwise tepid their material really is.
Horomones can stimulate reflexes, and conditioned responses to the premise of hunting likely provoke not only an adrenaline response, but other secretions, as part of coordinated psychological and emotional activity at the begining of the fight-or-flight routine.
Sneezing is a reflex, and there's probably some hereditary cross-over in the genetic mix that provides for the complex of neurological signaling.
If there's some interplay with group activity, maybe it's demonstrative of a pattern of emergent evolution for a brand of pheremone to jump the air gap between peers, reinforcing a pattern of hunting success as part of a feedback loop, when combined with the canine sense of smell?
The idea of wireless communication is only just a little bit more glamorous, because it's really the only thing that will assist humanity as part of space travel. And because we know light signals have pretty high fidelity across vast distances of (mostly) empty space.
But, solid state conductors, even if not purely contiguous due to repeaters and amplifiers, still seem pretty rational, when you start to think about what conductive transmission mediums actually do, especially as compared to emission filaments and diodes as broadcast signal sources.
Furthermore, regarding cloud cover, I am dubious of the premise that even the specified wavelengths penetrate otherwise opaque cloud cover. Sure, maybe that portion of the spectrum penetrates the typical atmospheric mix, including light water vapor, on an otherwise clear day, but, color me unsurprised if it fails to penetrate smog, diesel and particulate pollution, and other common dust constituents in cloud nuclei. I mean, even radar can be blinded by dense storm clouds.
But hey, maybe I'm wrong, maybe it's a 100% miracle cure. Maybe it's that awesome. I hope I really am just a big dummy, too lazy to read a blurb more than three sentences long.
All this buffering and fault tolerance is bullshit at the consumer level. If the disk's file table gets fucked up, then let it burn.
I'll format the disk and re-install your stupid operating system as I see fit, whenever I want, and keep my actual data safe and sound far away from someone else's stupid hung process, until it produces actual results that I can copy into place, whenever appropriate.
These are lessons I learned throughout the late 90's, in the face of countless blue screens, before migrating to linux.
It is now safe to turn off your computer.

Arranged marriages certainly seem to permit a capacity for arbitrary pairings, but when you consider the hereditary aspects behind an arranged marriage, where parents are choosing for children, the reality is that a parent's approximate attraction to someone they select for their children, even by proxy through that someone's parents, will probably land closer to what their children would intuitively approach on their own, than random chance.
According to wikipedia, these are millisecond events, with no indication of any kind of embedded signal or carrier waveform, so I think the phrasing of the term as a "burst" described as "fast" is misleading and confuses a lot of people.
These seem more like strobes or flashes of light, than anything else. But to outsiders, the word burst sounds like packets of data, and "fast" hints at broadband network speed, so people jump to thinking about aliens.
It sounds like these are just blinking flashes in the radio region of the EM spectrum, even if that's a strange wavelength to find isolated flashes in. Seems like people are running wild with their imagination.

Another odd, acquired accent is the manner of speaking employed during air traffic communications, with elongated R sounds, as when pronouncing words like "roger" over poor signal quality.
You can almost hear the air traffic control in mission control's transmission in 2001: A Space Odyssey, but only slightly:
