I can understand them not having enough nurses. I can't see anyone wanting to get into nursing to fill those positions right now, but why are there still supply problems?

I have the same question about testing. All the public sites around me closed and it seems like nothing was learned.

This has been the case with any counter offer situation I've been in.

I didn't realize this wasn't being done everywhere.

Cuz Gam Gam needs to be able to use basic online banking, she's never going to be able to use 2fa.

This story has a hint of the recent Venezuelan coup, but the details are still skimpy.

The amount of permits, fees, plans and various payoffs that need to be made for a flight to even cross through middle eastern borders is daunting. This doesn't seem like an imaginary rambo mission for that reason.

There are a lot of questions, but I wonder why they thought it necessary to drag weapons along. Anyone who has ever been involved in a civilian flight over there would have told you how dumb that is.

Couldn't they have just bought a few RPGs and AKs down at the local bazaar like everyone else? They probably could have picked up a few ARs too, right?

I bladed and still skateboard.

What made blading lame is having to carry around a pair of shoes if you want to go anywhere. Otherwise you're like the guy clicking around the coffee shop in your clip in bike shoes and tights.

Paywall, didn't read, just going off the headline.

I have a nice little slice of turf, love it. only downside, it heats up under direct sun.

After the surfside collapse, its gotta be 10x harder to keep any rational discussions about this building going.

I wouldn't live there, unless there was a nice fat discount.

Is tearing the thing down an option? I haven't seen it discussed anywhere.

the crissy field section was gold. had no idea that was paved all the way up to the 90s. great pics.

You're right. Considering we just budgeted about 750 billion for the military, more than the next 7 or 10 countries combined depending on who you ask, me thinks even if they do get their hands on this money its not going to end up in the right place.

It's crazy that it's so common, but that they wouldn't make that obvious.

Considering the whole IPv4 extinction that's coming down and all.

Agreed. Nothing new about this request.

It's like hiring a plane to fly over your house repeatedly to tell you whether or not it's on fire. There has to be a better way.

Saw this yesterday and thought it was a coincidence.

Finding someone using intuition and suncalc.

First thought when I see the headline is another case of the FBI "catching" a bomber that they gave the bomb to.

Read the article and the complaint and it's the FBI grooming another useful idiot while patting themselves on the back. I'm just picturing this kid with his hand drawn crayon maps of the AWS buildings and talking bout "70% of the internet" and "oligarchy". Funny but sad.

Unless it was edited later, its in there about 1/4 of the way down.

"Vercel doesn’t replicate Functions across their Network in Free and Pro accounts - Functions can be deployed to one particular region only. Enterprise plan users can specify multiple regions for Serverless Functions."

I like the idea.

I wonder how this changes incentives for most people. In the valley of bottomless snacks and drinks, bottomless PTO, bottomless stock options, how does bottomless pay work on the mental?

What if I want to work a 3 day week?

Its funny to hear doordash ads about supporting local businesses, when they're completely invested in turning them inside out.

A quick look at the doordash careers page shows they're targeting a future of hikikomori that order from restaurants they've never been to and buy from convenience stores that don't actually allow customers in.

The sad part is NextGen was supposed to allow planes to approach at higher altitudes and descend with engines idled to reduce noise.

I used to run a twitter bot. It didn't create any content. Just liked, retweeted or followed based on keywords.

Then my tweets would get liked and followed. 95% of that was just bots.

Every now and then I would unfollow a real person and my account, which was clearly a bot, would get some hate mail telling me to re-follow them.

It was pretty surreal.

I agree with you, I just think it'll be a scene of paying one half of the population to kill the other.

There will be plenty of softer targets meal team six will be going after first, with plenty of fighting to keep them distracted.

I'm picturing Bill running the old embrace, extend, and extinguish model until they all just kill each other or die of hunger/radiation/lead poisoning.

I'm realizing now they probably had this same idea and are hiring "Independent Consultants" to pen test their bunkers.

If they haven't...

I noticed the police helicopters in the bay area were only showing up as mlat reports on adsbexhange a couple months ago as well. Easy to spot but weird how they suddenly stopped squawking. Are they exempt now?

Seems like its not a coincidence that the signal community is seeing a cluster of town jackasses showing up.

As if the government hiding things is a conspiracy at this point.

The official narrative has always been that if the masses found out about ET visiting us they would lose their shit. I don't think much would change even if this is how they found out.

Its not like suddenly learning there are aliens means they don't have to go to work tomorrow.

great picture of the crowd descending on area 51.

oh snap, its actually burning man. close enough.

Louis CK is a weak example mate. You whip your dick out, that's assault brotha.

Wealthy companies aren't great either. They're doing the cancelling.

Who needs physical enforcement when you can get people fired or threaten their livelihood?

Take a look at Mark Crispin Miller. This chap is feeling the mob heat right now.

It was probably rejected by patentbot2000.

I haven't looked at the google patent listings before. What are the 'Similar Documents' at the bottom about? Black Twitter? https://patents.google.com/scholar/10521028305159378504

I thought the headline meant rich like laughable, which would work here too.

This reminds me of the tone-deaf ads that we got bombarded with by celebrities telling us to stay home while their hot tub bubbled behind them.

Maybe it's already out there, or isn't worth it.

Local news.

Twitter is too noisy, nextdoor has too many busybodies.

Contact tracing apps didn't get installed enough to be effective. Turns out they weren't needed. Tracking without warrants is already possible when there is a will.

Unless people stopped dragging their phones around, the information is already there.

Dumb question here, but why isn't this being used for the thing, contact tracing, that everyone claims is what we need to stop the spread?

Amazon is the most visible example of wealth transfer during this pandemic, with online shopping and AWS, so it's an obvious target for mob energy.

But the idea of unionizing is quaint for a company that has become so many things (manufacturing, logistics, infrastructure, marketplace).

They suggest that somehow the new administration will be friendlier to unionizing, as if that was the blocker.

It doesn't take a PR genius to see what the Amazon narrative will be when people can't get their boxes of shit because of a strike. And thats just from warehouses. Extend that to AWS and Whole Foods and it'll be hard to maintain any sympathy.

Amazon was already getting their tentacles on everything before covid, and now its just amplified. I'd love to see this be the motivator that encourages people to rise up against their overlords, but it's going to end up like the people that protest by blocking freeways. It just pisses off the people trying to go about their lives, and works against the cause.
