Do you dislike HR in workplaces?
  • The reason it's relevant is that most working people do not earn salaries, they earn hourly rates. I'm a welding engineer earning a salary, working with maintenance men and welders and operators who all earn hourly rates. Every company I've ever worked for has both salary and hourly and also an HR department.

    The situation you are describing does not align with the vast majority of working people's experiences.

  • Do you dislike HR in workplaces?
  • Not defending either side, but how often do hourly employees get raises based on performance at your wife's company? You say performance should lead to salary increases, but what about the majority of people who only make hourly rates?

  • Light has been seen leaving an atom cloud before it entered
  • This seems really neat. So like when you shine light through things like water or glass or air the energy of the photons actually kinda get absorbed by the molecules and transmitted by them resulting in a slowing down a tiny bit, usually. It seems like they may have found some combinations of photon wavelengths and atomic resonance frequency that results in speeding up a tiny bit instead of slowing down

    On a related note three brown one blue has a neat video explaining what phase shifting is and kind of why it happens https://youtu.be/KTzGBJPuJwM

  • United Flight Attendants Vote 99.99% to Authorize Strike
  • Fired for any reason is "at will employment" you can leave for any reason but also we can fire you for anything that isn't protected.

    "Right to work" is even worse than that, it means that you get all the benefits the union faught and clawed for without having to pay dues. As in you have a "right to work" without any pesky interference between you as an individual and the multimillion dollar company

  • What's the most petty/pointless/pedantic hill you're willing to die on?
  • I've always had fun trying to say ever letter in most words. Like that french knight in Monty Python, "I blow my nose at you, so-called Arthur king, you and all your silly English k-nnnigggets" which is hilarious to me because french words dont use like half the letters in them usually

  • What's the most petty/pointless/pedantic hill you're willing to die on?
  • My wife does that, I'll ask what she want to do "next weekend" on like Wednesday but that doesn't mean the coming Fri, Sat, Sun to her, that's "this weekend"
    I can't deny it does make sense to me somewhat, last is previous, this is current, and next is the one after current, but next and this for weekends are the same until you get to Thursday in my opinion.

  • What games popularized certain mechanics?
  • The first Dark Souls was 2011. Diablo was released in 1997. World of Warcraft was 2004 and while you didn't quite drop all your stuff and money you die you did have to run back to your corpse to keep from having all your stuff degrade and cost a bunch of money. The first Sonic was 1991 and getting hit makes you drop all your "money" and have to pick it back up.

  • What games popularized certain mechanics?
  • The first ones I can think of is legend of Zelda and final fantasy, but I think there was also Adventure for the Atari before those even. The first Assassin's Creed was 2007, Adventure was 1980

  • My alarm clock doesn't work right
  • IThere's a pretty simple way to test the alarm, make it go off when your awake and waiting for it. Say the current time is 11:57, set the alarm for 12:00 and sit and wait for it to go off.

  • Balatro celebrates 2 million sales, will feature major gameplay update in 2025!
  • It's really just poker solitaire with a bunch of math added to flavorful bonus cards, if you're not really into poker, solitaire, or math it isn't going to be the right game for you.

    I have a buddy that hates RNG, mostly plays shooter games, he hates poker in all its forms because of the randomness but I feel like learning to deal with probably and chance are really good lessons that apply to broader life.
