Does anyone actually "watch television", in the form this article is referring to, anymore?
I am an n=1, but we are a hybrid home. OTA for the networks and live sports (free!), then a few streaming subscriptions ad-free for everything else. Mostly just the occasional tornado warning and football game for OTA, to be honest. I would watch more but I hate hate HATE paying for someone to serve me ads.
I don't get what the big deal was with this during covid. Does it work for covid? No. Does it hurt anything? Also no. Why did anyone care?
Yes, it did hurt anything, because people believed they could take Ivermectin for COVID rather than, you know, actual vaccines and treatments that work.
Doctors and nurses care because it's sort of their job to care that their patients get better. And refusing treatments that work in favor of those that do not kills their patients.
Personally the Covid mRNA vaccine made me the most sick Iâ(TM)ve been in my life, and a significant amount of people I personally knew, not antivaxers, had very adverse effects from it, many who needed 2-3 days off work
Then imagine what COVID would have been like?
The initial COVID vaccines were a bit over-powered in my view, but they wanted really high effectiveness, so I suppose that's the tradeoff.
Flu vaccine always makes me feel pretty bad.
Then imagine what the flu would be like!
I haven't read the full report, but hopefully the mRNA vaccines are safer for people with egg allergies.
No one wants to see Trump in just his cheeto dust and incontinence aid, much less pay for it.
If you had said photos, you could easily sell them to people on the left and the right. The left for seeing him humiliated, and the right so they can deny the photos exist.
You can hate on Flock all you want, but at least it IS EFFECTIVE.
Other than Flock's PR reports, there is little rigorous evidence that Flock cameras reduce crime. There is some evidence it is easier to locate a stolen car or find a missing person (both of which are useful but happen AFTER the crime has occurred); but it does not appear Flock systematically is helpful in other types of crime or is of much use for areas that are not under Flock surveillance (which is to say that we would have to surveil everything all the time).
People do dumb stuff in the mountains all the time. A couple of people apparently tried to hike this trail last winter in shorts.
I haven't hiked this specific trail, but I saw tons and tons of people hiking a 10-mile mountain trail in Rocky Mountain National Park in the winter in sneakers (a good way to slip and injure yourself on the icy trails) and jeans (a good mechanism for getting hypothermia once they get wet after 10 seconds on the trail (see "sneakers," above)).
They station a park ranger at the trail head warning people who are clearly unprepared. But people go anyway, and then throw a fit when they are wet and cold and need help.
People have a right to injure themselves, I guess?
All them state what has always been the case, effective managers who communicate tasks and objectives well and then step back and let employees actually do their jobs improve things

Middle management is a late 19th century invention, and there are other ways to organize work. Why do we have to organize into "departments" and "teams" all while being told by the highest paid person in the "department" what to do, when to do it, and how to do it?
WFH revealed many of the fallacies and inefficiencies with the middle-management model, and instead of trying a different, more efficient model, companies have doubled-down by removing the thing that exposed the inefficiencies in the first place.
Which is probably cheaper and safer than sending a repo man to take the car back
The amount of money is too small to hire a repo man. Maybe you'll risk injury for a $20,000 car and a $2,000 repo fee. But you won't go through all the difficulty of hunting someone down, confronting them, pulling their phone out of their hand, for a $600 phone and a $60 repo fee. At the individual level these cases are too little money to pursue through the traditional routes, and other than a stern letter, a threaten to send to collections, and a complaint to the police (all of which amounts to bupkis), there's not much to do. But at the aggregate level, repeat this scenario tens of thousands of times, and the leasing company is out big bucks.
Nuke them. It is time to change Russia into a green glass surface
Most Russians don't support the current regime and are a victim of the current government. They deserve to be nuked for that?
You're not Dave. Who are you?
