I'm just a layman, but wouldn't using nuclear weapons to test for radioactivity cause radioactivity?

> The lawsuit accuses the fast food giant of misleading customers by showing the burger with a meatier patty and ingredients that "overflow over the bun".

Fast food burgers are always lop-sided. It's just been photographed from the 'bits falling out' side.

throwaway751 commented on Ask HN: How to motivate team to go beyond the job given that budget is limited?    · Posted by u/donnie12345

An unannounced budget/headcount cut with no change in scope and no budget for overtime (not that I think overtime compensates)?

A mighty recommendation letter, list of contacts at other employers and personal introductions on request.

If the captain decides to sink the ship, I'm having out life vests. I care about my people more than petulant vision.

I would add however that Bezos and Musk aren't that similar. And that your question scenario is completely different from "In X months, you will have layoffs if you stay like you are, what can you do?"

I feel the key point is they are not stating what they use the information for, therefore you cannot object what they are using the information for.

If you can demonstrate by questioning that they are obstructing what information is used for, specifically, then that will fall foul of EU intention for objecting to use of information. Run it by https://mastodon.social/@neil@mastodon.neilzone.co.uk

Oops, I missed that. Now I will probably have to self-host. Or start using my disroot address again.

Property developers need not downgrade the number of bedrooms because they decrease size. It's a cynical ploy to segregate the market.

Unless including a garage, there's no reason why a 2400sqm, which is 220m2 in the rest of the world, should not be 4-5 bedrooms.

Or, if you're unsure where nginx.conf is or what it does, take 15 minutes to find out and understand it rather than scurrying answers and copy-pasting scripts mentioned in TFA. The old adage of less haste, more speed. Bonus for using conf.d rather than sites-available!

You might not even need Docker, an indeed revolutionary prospect.

Dash to Dock. Freon. GTK Title Bar. Netspeed.
