I’m not approving of this action, but what environmental work is habitat for humanity doing? Isn’t it like a good will for home construction and furnishing?

It was most definitely bought using your tax money.

This works again?

Yeah, probably. It’s a non profit but I don’t know how that money gets audited. If law even applies here.

No idea what you’re talking about but Christianity is definitely a real thing, and it’s not the Christo fascism that you’ve been exposed to.

No

Hi I’m a Christian and I care. The goat seems to be made to auction to spread awareness for human trafficking. Very bizarre to go with this method though. I also know nothing of the organization and it’s effectiveness in helping stop child human trafficking. Especially after that movie and the backlash it got with how little it did in helping the actual core issue. Bunch of hypocrites.

Carriers don’t care. They are selling you data. They don’t care how it’s used. Google is selling you a phone. Apple held down the market for a long time for being the phone that has some of the best security. As an android user that makes me want to switch phones. Not carriers.

If you want to talk money then it is in businesses best interest that money from their users is being used on their products, not being scammed through the use of their products.

Secondly machine learning or algorithms can detect patterns in ways a human can’t. In some circles I’ve read that the programmers themselves can’t decipher in the code how the end result is spat out, just that the inputs will guide it. Besides the fact that scammers can circumvent any carefully laid down antispam, antiscam, anti-virus through traditional software, a learning algorithm will be magnitudes harder to bypass. Or easier. Depends on the algorithm

What about qualified? Is there an argument to be had about hiring someone that is more qualified rather than on diversity?

I’m not trying to be facetious here. I work as a union electrician and we have a diverse group, but majority of our workforce are men. On one project we needed 2 crew to run trench conduit (an apprentice and journey level to stay in ratio) but because it was a government project the hiring required us to also stay in diversity ratio. So the project manager anticipated the difficulty and hire 3. A woman and 2 men. All 3 were working on the trench, but due to the nature of the work (harder physical labor) the woman ended up holding a sign for the remainder of 6 months she had to be there to “fill” the diversity hire, as the original planned 2 man crew ran the trench to stay on schedule.

In this scenario should there be a bigger budget for diversity hire to compensate the additional labor required due to qualifications not being met? Of course it easily could have been a rock of a woman and 2 men who couldn’t lift a shovel too. But if that was the case the unqualified labor would have been rotated out instead of staying to fill a required diversity slot. It could have been 2 people like originally planned and both could have been women who were qualified to do the work. But that means it’s qualification over them filling their diversity roles.

On the surface hiring based off merit sounds better than hiring for diversity, but is it that merit is harder to achieve in diverse communities because of socio economic class? Racism basically?

So my current model P1S is safe from all this bs?

I have a P1S and can’t return it. What’s so bad about this new firmware?

Lmao

It’s gas and liquid gas with a solid core. No “surface” like you think earth has one to stand on. By the time your feet hit anything solid you’d have went through permanent darkness (sun can’t pierce that much matter, much like our oceans being dark), temperatures that will melt metals, and pressures that make the Mariana trench feel like a gentle squeeze.

Man I hate safeway so much

I’ve thrown so many markers away because the kids just get to them and lose the lids.

Of course after drawing on any surface they can find first.

To an extent, we always had a junk drawer. Over the years it got smaller and more organized. Utinsels have an actual drawer for them all. So no pizza cutter in our junk drawer anymore. Almost everything in your picture has a spot for us.

Here’s our junk drawer now.

Oh you know who did?

Physical encyclopedias are just time capsules of knowledge, sometimes irrelevant. And pricy too. Having them and then saying information is easy to find is entitlement.

I see what you’re saying. Top up voted corporate social media posts and AI finding top results for search engines and query requests is exactly why people need to ask other people wtf is going on with anything. It’s confusing enough to try to parse through irrelevant information, maybe asking someone will narrow down what you need to know.
