How about “wealthy Canadian part-time residents who contribute significantly to the Florida economy”.

“rich Canadians who continue to support an authoritarian state” also works depending on the audience.

Hey, that’s what I did!

I had people trying to look out for me in a way but I was an idiot and you can only tell an adult what to do so many times.

How many people are CGNAT and also no ipv6?

Actually, I don’t want to know. It’s too damn high.

In his work The Righteous Mind, Jonathan Haidt talks a bit about this. In my interpretation of the points he makes, humans aren’t more or less collectivist, but rather there’s points that some care for more than others. For example, left leaning individuals care more for the fairness across the group, while right-leaning individuals value conformity. From an evolutionary perspective, there’s a good reason to have increased conformity, though some would argue that in a modern world our differences are what make humanity stronger. I found this discussed it a bit, if you can’t get the book. https://www.highexistence.com/how-jonathan-haidts-6-moral-tastebuds-can-heal-a-divided-world/

He also makes a point that a shared mythology is vital to maintaining a group for a long term - communes seldom last through the second generation, while religious sects last centuries.

I’ve butchered the concepts (it is a several hundred page book), so if you’re able to get it from your library I think it’s worth reading it even if the concepts are somewhat tangential to the question you posed. It promotes a theory, which is simply one many ways to interpret a part of humanity.

In short, no, I don’t think that there’s a difference in the amount to which left or right are more communal; it’s the inclusion criteria of that community.

Oops. He’s running ahead of the script. For now they’re just supposed to be angry about “illegal migrants”.

HAOS has add-ons to run a sort of managed version I think of pihole. Good start for containers.

RAID0 is not RAID, because R stands for redundant and RAID0 has dependency on as many drives are in the machine. You need to change that. One drive fails you lose everything.

The question is pertinent to my interests and the answer is to spend some time learning about the benefits and disadvantages of chipsets and processors unfortunately.

Permafrost and tectonic plates are why this hasn’t happened. That, and its connecting the ass end most remote portions of both countries. With current rail transit times, it would take weeks.

The entire design would need to change to meet safety standards. I don’t know that the ease of assembly and cheap low cost would survive the safety requirements.

A lot of the complexity of modern vehicles encompassing not just drivetrain but also exterior design is to squeeze fuel economy from a stone. The shape of the Willy’s isn’t aerodynamic and that’s putting it mildly. Modern standards for body panel tolerances raise component costs. Full time 4x4 is awful on paved roads and terrible for fuel consumption, so we would now use a transfer case or a AWD system, which add cost and complexity. The simplicity of the suspension design made it a death trap at speed - good for off road, no good at 70mph.

My point is that as much as I want a repairable, simple thing (car, computer, etc.) we’ve developed so much technology that even when a thing is designed for repairability, it’s going to need specialized skills to some extent - can’t fix everything with a hammer anymore. Might need a torque wrench.

The current wrangler is an idea of what a modern Willy’s would be like. It’s going to be a $40k vehicle.

ETA - Ineos Grenadier is a modern take on the classic Land Rover. Similar concept, similar departure from simple an cheap.

Took 6 days vacation instead of 5 I had “accrued”. I didn’t get paid for vacation in any case. I was working in construction. Company folded a year later; I can’t think why.

The other reason was “insubordination”. Can’t get into that with out sharing too much, but Texans are a special type of ignorant.

A family member was a mechanic and spent all their time in the garage working on barely functioning cars. In retrospect, it’s probably their autism hyper fixation.

My second car was pretty nice, but it was murderously expensive to have services done, and the internet community around it was fairly firm about doing specific preventative maintenance. So I did that.

I’m not really a car guy anymore, because I don’t have the time to work on the cars like I want to, and I don’t have the space either. There’s too many other cars on the roads, which makes spirited driving dangerous. Now, I live vicariously through YouTube channels and mainly drive a toaster EV.

Ah this guy also just spent about USD750k on powersport toys this year, he won’t notice. But he might notice when his business gets hit because all their material comes from Germany… fingers crossed!

you know, trump, he says a lot of things, but this tariff thing? I think he’s really got a good point there. We’re really supporting too many countries.

• an Actual American said this to me. It’s phenomenal how ignorant people are.

“In Soviet Russia…”

Pitiful

Maybe I should, to establish a pattern.

But then I’d have to go to the office. Ew. HR is there.

I feel like there’s some kind of middle ground between the notoriously insecure HID style building access card and providing biometrics.

I wonder if this has anything to do with a RTO push and people badging in for others. But then VPN usage would show that…

Reading TFA - his trip was cancelled, but it doesn’t state by whom. There isn’t an indication at this time that it was government; he’s been threatened by right wing activists so it’s possible that someone working in the airline cancelled the itinerary (maybe at checkin?) or someone pretended to be him and called the airline to cancel etc.

Not that it makes it ok in anyway!

In response to your edit - micromanaging is standard. It’s super awesome when the PI is telling you how to run a procedure they haven’t run themselves or haven’t done in 10 years. /s

One thing I forgot to mention is that you’ve got people with zero industry experience and zero managerial training walking into their supervisory role on the merit of their educational and research background. They just don’t know (and have the Dunning Kreuger effect in spades) that they’re being managerial jerks. ASD or not. Huge “manage your manager” challenge in academia.

And with ASD, we get into a habit of trying to communicate with neurotypicals and in America especially it’s expected to sugarcoat and kowtow in every communication with the manager but that’s not always a great thing to do with ASD people as you’re aware. Clarity without confrontation is the fine line that you’ll need to walk.

This may be unhelpful, because it’s based on limited data and specific scenarios, but my experience working in academia is that clear explicit communication helps a lot, and suspending judgement until a relationship and trust is established helps too - and that can take a really long time. Try to take a step back and not get emotionally involved with things, but keep the receipts and escalate if things do truly get out of hand. Having someone you can talk to and trust to be critical of your method of handling the situation can helps with perspective.

Some academics are just assholes. Seems most are on the autism spectrum, and that makes it hard to interact with. Aside from neurodivergence, it’s not hard for a perceived slight to get blown out of proportion for a variety of reasons.

As you’re noting you’re going to have to grin and bear it for a while until you can get the residency sorted out. Doing excellent work that’s in demand can definitely help with establishing relationships, but obviously that depends on the situation.

They just worked harder than the rest of us and had good ideas at the right time.

Erm, no, that still doesn’t make their labour worth thousands of times more than the next person.

People I talk to know millionaire workaholics and think that but for some timing that person would be a billionaire because they don’t understand how orders of magnitude work. 100k in the bank vs 1 million is a much smaller barrier than 1 million vs 1 billion never mind 100 billion

“Let’s try to get this thing done with a ridiculous deadline, knowing full well that the work will be discarded because of overriding factor X but it looks good that the team got it done in the deadline someone set, so the someone will get their bonus”
