104·1 year agoThere are a whole slew of ways to look at this depending on what “glasses” you like to wear, and also the type of work involved. I work in grocery logistics, moving groceries from where they are produced to the store where you buy them. Here’s a few from my “lens”:
- They are looking at the long term office space leases they are stuck with.
- In person training tends to be more effective ( I remember reading a study on this, but can’t currently find it.)
- Most people suck at communicating effectively. Proximity seems to improve this. (Personal observation)
- Community (It is far easier to “other” someone that you rarely or never meet in person. Not so easy if they are showing you pictures of their kids every day. “Sally just got a new particle accelerator! Isn’t she so lovely! This is her sinking Manhattan!”)
- Leadership (I have to come into work to do my job. My boss’s job though is mostly paperwork. He could do his job from home but why should I care what he has to say if he isn’t in the same mud as me?)
My thought on this is if you want the flexibility of working from home, that’s fine. But don’t expect me to give a damn about what you think. The job is rough enough without an uninformed opinion trying to mess things up worse.

Single use or the reusable bottles?
My wife bought a filter jug but still would rather buy single use bottles of water. She thinks I’m nuts for drinking straight out the tap. 😂
Whoops, sorry! I keep forgetting The NY Times has two share buttons.
It’s a nationwide company, mostly doing less then truckload hauls. Mostly saw them around bigger cities. Teamsters outfit, like most of the LTL companies. When I first started in the trucking industry it was called YRC, I think.
Was wondering how long it would take.
13·1 year agoDoes anyone actually use LXD? I never could figure out the deal with this.
So I figured. I’m all for the 2nd Amendment, but the fear-mongering on both sides of the aisle really needs to stop.
Here’s an idea! Don’t trust Google or rely on their products.
Damn, that meme is cursed. I feel like I need to wash my eyes with bleach now.
One of my senators (Senator Tubberville) is attempting to force his religious beliefs onto the military. Specifically he seems to have a problem with the military supporting family planning. To do that he has been holding up confirmations of military officers. As a result of his actions, we have lost out on a new military base, our nation’s national security has been put at risk and he has made Alabama an even bigger laughingstock than it already was.
As you may have guessed, I am not a fan of his.
So…. Are the Republicans in Colorado trying to ensure a Democratic Party victory?

In other, unrelated news, VPN’s are experiencing an unexpected spike in traffic. More at 5.
10·1 year agoI used to start with searching Reddit, though that has been of less help lately. Wikipedia is helpful for getting a baseline if I have no clue about a subject. Lately ChatGPT has been helpful there as well.
And then of course, all search engines still accept boolean searches but you kinda need to 1) know the syntax the engine uses and 2) have a rough idea of what you are looking for.

Sorry, no Google documentation was relevant.
Good bot!
Reddit apparently still hasn’t figured out the maxim “Don’t piss off the free help.” TANSTAFL.
I hope it meant arm yourself with knowledge, because what this nation does not need more of is scared folks with firearms. We’ve enough of those as is.
Sadly, I’m guessing not.
For about the last 15 years, I would agree with the school board’s lawyers. At this point is is kinda an occupational hazard, kinda like vehicle accidents are for me as a truck driver.
Should it be normalized? I would say too late. Should teachers be payed more as a result? I’m a little surprised anyone is will to take the job as is even if the wages were doubled.
School board can’t do much except try to minimize the current threat and teachers aren’t allowed to do anything to minimize the threat going forward, lest they be accused of indoctrinating children. So, ya, it’s an occupational hazard.
