I miss pc at power systems.
"Is it off?" was never a question.

Imagine having TDS since 2016.

The "reason" needs to be a warrant number, full stop.

Minnesota native laughs at +40c to -40c annual span.

I walk every morning a couple of miles outdoors, I wear a long sleeve shirt at 10c or below, a light jacket at 5, go from shorts to sweatpants at 0, a hat and real jacket at -5, and we don't walk below -15.

Spent decades in North Dakota and Alaska.
Yes, 0C was still T-Shirt and Shorts weather until I got over 45 or so.
Went back to college, saw a dude still in shorts and tshirt at ~-20F, which is getting close to -20C.

I've now spent ~4 years in Florida, have worn pants like once.

Yep.

Unions like SEIU pull this carp all the time. And the politicians they contribute to help them do it.

In Michigan, for example, they "organized" home care "workers" ... who are overwhelmingly just relatives of disabled people. (The state saves a bundle by providing some funds to pay family members for taking care of their own disabled family members.)

How did SEIU do that, you ask, when state law says that the "employer" in this program is the disabled person himself? Why, they got the state Dems to change the law, so that solely for the purpose of collective bargaining, the "employer" is the state! Easy peasy.

For no other purpose though - they "cared" so deeply for these "workers" that they sure as heck were not going to make them true state employees, lol.

Most of the relatives of disabled people were like "WTH is this?" and threw the "organizing" ballots in the trash. So SEIU "won" the "election" to "organize" the "workers". (creating a worldwide shortage of scare quotes in the process)

Utter bottom feeding scum.

But ... but ... I've been told here on /. that police showing up at your door because of a social media post that you've made, say, is perfectly fine, is evidence of the system working, and has no chilling effect at all?

There are layers and layers of irony, I guess ...

I'm saddened that you would allow these researchers to get away with misgendering people.

I"ll just note here that people, and companies such as WP Engine, already use "WP" instead of "WordPress" for precisely this reason. And everyone in this space knows that. There isn't any confusion.

(And I don't want to hear about "confusion" from the guy who's company only exists because of the confusion between wordpress.org and wordpress.com ...)

I'm afraid it's society that's played that joke on you, my friend.

But yes, you don't see that it's a joke ... that's true.

You can ban yourself from using a tool, but you can't ban other people from doing so.

The same people who would confidently tell me that it's impossible to ban, say, drugs, or, I dunno, people illegally crossing borders, will also tell me that we can somehow ban a computer program.

Only women and men?? But what about people who identify as something else?

Sounds pretty discriminatory!

...Says the side literally endorsing fetish frankenpeople cavorting specifically for children.

You understand that literally everyone who reads your comment (whether they agree or not) recognizes you're a ccp-sponsored bot, yeah?
