  • Depending on your country, that is the norm. Engineers here have at least 2 national unions to choose from, finance have a couple of unions, same with teachers, admin staff, etc. etc.

    As usual, this is probably just US being victim of 'merican exceptionlism.

  • I love me a good piece of pedantry. Technically correct, the best kind of correct.

  • That would be a nice legal loophole for a corporation. Bribe someone to lose a court case without council, and then use that case as legal precedent for future cases.

  • I only ever think about the Holy Roman Empire, so I'm not in the in-group sadly :-(

  • I run Debian at home because "Microsoft evil", but I kinda think the Windows 10 image we use at work is alright. I work at a Forbes 500 company with a huuuge IT department, so I'm guessing they've done well at setting up group policies or something to make a de-cluttered experience for us. At least I never see any ads or Bing bullshit, and the Start menu works like I expect from ye old days. I could never make W10 work just as sleek at home, so I gave up and moved to Linux.

    That said, most developers here still use a local Linux VM for actual developing lol.

  • Yeah, let's call it a self defence cable instead. Like a corded taser.

  • Ted sounds like quite the importer/exporter. I feel like he should focus more on the imports than the exports. E.g. latex, diapers, chips and long matches.

  • Louis XVI was prosecuted and found guilty of high treason and crimes against the state by the National Convention during the French revolution, so it does happen from time to time.

  • They are not Kings and Queens

    I understand the sentiment, but I hate this phrase. If any of the e.g. Scandinavian royals would exhibit this kind of behaviour and lawlessness, the monarchy would be dismantled in a heartbeat. It's mostly for show, and the monarchy only exists for as long as the people want it to.

  • The majority of users are either a communist or almost a communist.

    I was 97% communist at the last measurement. I think I will get the final 3% any day now, God willing.

  • a human produces 1.35 deaths per 100M miles driven

    My car has been driven around 100k miles by a human, i.e. it has produced 0.00135 deaths. Is that like a third of a pinky toe?

  • Most.

    (Also a made up statistic)

  • Barely an inconvenience.
