    Delta flight makes emergency return after exit slide separates from Boeing aircraft

    Jump

  • It does happen all the time. It is a problem that it happens all the time. These planes aren't made with proper quality control checks in place and are far less safe than the airlines have been claiming for years.

    The extra scrutiny from the news is a good thing.

  • 1 in 5 samples of pasteurized milk had bird flu virus fragments, FDA says

    Jump

  • Yeah, any DNA or RNA in there is going to be completely denatured because of the pasteurization. But that doesn't mean the physical components of the genes just goes away. It is made ineffective and harmless, but it serves as a useful measure on how many cows are infected.

  • 1 in 5 samples of pasteurized milk had bird flu virus fragments, FDA says

    Jump

  • It should be noted that this is just a method to determine the amount of infected cows. The milk itself isn't a threat to anyone. Virus fragments in themselves can't do anything, they're just a sign of the original cow problem.

    Call out anyone that tries to fearmonger about the milk being dangerous.

  • U.S. bans noncompete agreements for nearly all jobs

    Jump

  • Yes, exactly. They have a separate clause in their contract that makes it so you can't be hired at the company you're being contracted to until you're most of the way through your contract (or the company has to pay the contracting agency a decent chunk of change if they really want to hire you on early).

    And the noncompete is an additional document to prevent you from just ending your contract early and applying for the real position at the company without that issue.

    Basically the contracting agency trying to get as much money as possible. Even while offering the most minimum of worker benefits they can legally manage.

  • U.S. bans noncompete agreements for nearly all jobs

    Jump

  • I think you misunderstood. The contracting agency has the noncompete clause in their contract. To prevent you from being able to cancel your contract part way through and get a real job at the company you're being contracted out to.

  • U.S. bans noncompete agreements for nearly all jobs

    Jump

  • Or sometimes, like mine, that you can't quit your contract early to apply for a full colleague position at the company you're being contracted out to.

  • U.S. bans noncompete agreements for nearly all jobs

    Jump

  • I’m not sure why they use “person”, but I’m assuming your W-2 or 1099 would have different companies

    Yes, those documents list the contracting agency as the company one is working for, rather than the company one is being contracted out to.

  • U.S. bans noncompete agreements for nearly all jobs

    Jump

  • Basically a lot of the low level jobs are contractors. And you can eventually be hired by the company as a colleague once your contract is up. The contracting agency, however, put in a noncompete clause so that the contractors can't end their contract early in order to apply for that company's colleague position.

  • U.S. bans noncompete agreements for nearly all jobs

    Jump

  • Not a competitor, but the company you were working at with the contracting agency. Basically trying to stop being a contractor and trying to be hired directly as a colleague.

  • U.S. bans noncompete agreements for nearly all jobs

    Jump

  • Would this also apply to a contracting agency that has a noncompete document that had to be signed by their contractor employees?

    The noncompete is so that the contracting employee can't end the contract early and then be hired directly by the company they were being contracted to. At least not for at least a year after ending the contract unless the length of the contract was completed in full.

    Edited for clarity

  • NY Attorney General asks judge to reject $175 million bond in Donald Trump's civil fraud case

    Jump

  • It's not backed by actual money. It's practically an "IOU" bond. It would be ridiculous if any judge accepted it.

  • Reuters photographer Mohammed Salem wins 2024 World Press Photo of the Year award

    Jump

  • No, it's for the prior year. A lot of awards are named that way.

  • braces for down votes and possible ban

    Jump

  • Generally true, yes. In most cases, the leftists using that sort of terminology are tankies, meaning they are explicitly pro-authoritarian. They just want the dictators to be communists (or claimed communists) rather than capitalists (despite said dictatorial communism usually being about seizing all the money for themselves anyways and often results in full on capitalism regardless, China is a great example).

    So you don't even need the word replacement thought experiment. Tankies are openly authoritarian.

  • Israel's 'Where's Daddy?' AI system helps target suspected Hamas militants when they're at home with their families, report says

    Jump

  • Really makes me wonder what the meaning behind Lavender is in this context. There could quite easily be some horrific intention behind using that specific word in correlation to this murder system.

  • Israel's 'Where's Daddy?' AI system helps target suspected Hamas militants when they're at home with their families, report says

    Jump

  • Couldn't you use that same claim to say that multiple known genocides weren't because the populations are higher now? Heck, I see morons use the same argument to claim China isn't committing genocide because the Uighur population is higher now.

    The fallacious "but the population is higher" argument is an idiotic attempt to whitewash genocide.

  • Hillary Clinton tells voters to 'get over yourself' when it comes to Biden-Trump rematch

    Jump

  • Apologies for actually knowing the history of the subject. I've had these debates with misinformed people on subject regarding Clinton, Biden, and so many others going back years. For some reason, far left people actively fall for made up right wing BS claims about Democrats.

  • Hillary Clinton tells voters to 'get over yourself' when it comes to Biden-Trump rematch

    Jump

  • Since when was she a centrist? Her congressional voting and action history put her way left of the party, way farther than Obama, and second only to Bernie Sanders.

  • 19-page PDF accuses Wikipedia of bias against Israel, suggests editors be forced to reveal their real names, and demands a new feature allowing people to view the history of Wikipedia articles

  • This one in particular is owned by the public, meaning the Berlin state government can control who is on the board and appoints the advisory committee.

    So, yes, it is essentially state controlled.
