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.

Well, with attitudes and work ethics being expressed like this article has described, what else do they expect?

Boomers and Gen X messed about at school, walked straight into a job where they could just sit in a cubicle and drink coffee every day, or a cushy unionised factory job, and could buy a house and start a family at 21. Millennials had to get three degrees just to get a job that allows them to share an apartment at 35. Old people played life on easy mode.
