The concept of DE&I is decency, in reality as a PWD from my experience, it's a checklist used by corporations to pick the lowest hanging fruit and say that "we are an ethical company." Try having a non-visible disability and apply under DE&I, and you will get "well you don't look neurodivergent."

Corporations treat diversity like a procurement form. Visible identities get rubber-stamped because they photograph well for annual reports. Black employee? Check. LGBT employee? Check. Woman in leadership? Check. But neurodivergence requires actual infrastructure changes, costs money, demands flexibility in how work gets done. So suddenly it's "we're not sure you're really disabled" or "that accommodation seems excessive" or "we need documentation." These are barriers that conveniently don't exist when the diversity win can be showcased in a LinkedIn post. The hiring manager can point to the Black guy they hired instead and call it progress, box checked, diversity quota met, no actual systemic change required.

There is a reason that the suicide rate is 5x that of the rest of the population: it's because being told you're not disabled enough for support while being too disabled for opportunity creates a hopeless trap that corporations' diversity photos do nothing to solve.

This is why DE&I is dying. Not because it's a bad concept, but because it's been co-opted by heartless corporations into a bad implementation, and people on an instinctual level can see past the bullshit.

the frequency of laser is closer to x-ray than it is to visible light. no diode laser will even get close to this frequency, in fact even this is would require a very big very expensive (millions of dollars) FEL laser.

this is a cool idea, but not even remotely practical. More concerning to me is that China has access to this tech because that just leaked that they could take on TMSC if they wanted to.

Exactly. This is the nail in the coffin for AirTags as far as my use of them. I currently love/hate tile for this purpose. I have embedded tags in things like my bike so that if they are stolen, i can track them. This makes AirTags effectively useless for my use case as much as i would LOVE to ditch Tile.

There is another name for having high antibodies to an antigen. Its called autoimmune disease.

I don't see any studies showing long term high levels of cov2 S protein antibodies is safe, or that the safety has been even considered. What are the boosted levels compared to boosted + infected?
Combined with the fact the vaccine is not protective against cov2 and omicron is being reported largely as mild, where is the risk benefit balance here?

no there is separate technology that is being developed in the form of an anal probe that deploys once the driver is seated to detect any drugs in the system.

If you are not on drugs you have nothing to hide, you shouldn't mind this. Don't worry, it's just the tip.

Comment Tile, great idea, shit implementation (Score 0) 87

Ive suffered with Tile now for 4 years and i can definitively say that they need to fire their entire app dev team. Never have i seen such a POS app in my life, especially on android. Switch to apple and the app runs most of the time, but still has annoying moments where you can be standing on a tag, and tey the app wont find it. Coupled with chronic hardware problems like the well know silent ringer syndrome and that damm button on the tag that will run your phone EVERY SINGLE TIME you are in a large meeting or other place requiring your phone to be on mute, I look forward to Apples offering and superior UX designers.

Good luck when you dumb fucks figure out how many bridges you have burned as your country fails. Canada and the rest of the world will throw you a rock while you drown. A fitting end to a narcissist society that is too stupid to see the fact you are cutting off the very branch you sit on.

A piece of shit American speaks. Well lets see how well you do without Canada. Or maybe Canada should partner with the Russians. I hear Sputnik V is just as effective as Pfizer. Maybe we allow Russia to park bases and nukes right across the border from you fuckers.

Im going to slash the tires of any american plateed car i see on this side of the border from now on. FUCK YOU fucking traitorous cunt!

Americans may/will find a different welcome when the northern border is reopened. Canadians have not forgotten how we opened our doors during 9/11 to take in thousands of stranded Americans. Canada has not forgotten how it provided critical assistance during the Iran hostage crisis. Canada has not forgotten the thousands of times during the cold war we had Americas back. But America has forgotten. Americas vaccine nationalism has illustrated to Canada who our friends are. At this point we have two, belgum and india. The rest of the world has turned its back on Canada despite the many thousands of Canadians who have gave their lives to defend others.

I will never be able to look upon Americans as "brothers and sisters" again. All I will see are the Canadians that they let die while they sat on the cure.
