Pardon my bougie perspective because this comes from experience as a tourist, but I think many communities in non-western countries are already oriented this way. I had minimal daily budget so I found places where I could get a prepared meal for barely more than the raw ingredients, and many local families seemed to be there as a daily ritual, not some decadent dining out experience.

I don't think this is true. She has some beliefs that are out there from where I'm sitting, but I'm guessing they're pretty common where she is, but the business claim seems to be false. Looks like someone fell for an AIPAC funded campaign set on de-legitimizing Bush. Sure maybe she's burned now and DSA needs to run someone else, but lets put the blame where it belongs.

Any fact checking done on the business? Can't find anything solid. Looks like she made some claims about healing a women's tumour, but that's hardly damning imo.

I get that, and agree that unlimited pto is not some benevolent policy. In my experience though, the flexibility it provided was useful, and there were no real downsides. Our company didn't churn through employees, so losing a few days of vacation accrual when you left wasn't that impactful when most people stayed 5+ years. Of course each place is going to have their own shit, I'm just saying that a fixed 20 days off isn't necessarily better than unlimited pto.

Yeah this has been my experience as well. It’s fine and not as nefarious as other are saying. I’m sure the org get some small upside on departures without needing to pay accrual, but I’ve never had an issue with PTO requests being denied.

I currently don’t have unlimited and there are scenarios where I’m missing it. I’m going through some unique life events and my manager is wanting to make it work, but HR doesn’t have a way to code more PTO than I’ve accrued. I’m just taking time off without reporting it and it’s fine, but leaves me out to dry of my manager turns on me.

Someone wrote 'mamas milk' on my building's dumpster and I'm dying to know what it means. At first I paid no attention to it. But after each trip taking out he garbage the mystery grows in my mind.

That's about the extent of my strongly held opinions on this topic.

Very cool. In my (limited) experience freediving gets you way more cool wildlife interactions like this than scuba. My theory is that you seem more like a fellow animal rather than some scary mechanoid. Never had dolphins come round, but had harbour seals hang out and play with me, very cool experience.

It is, the article where this came from called it out as OpenAI derived. How do people show up to work after something like this? It’s so embarrassing.

Like either you’re so asleep at the wheel that you don’t even review your slop slides, or you’re so out of touch you can’t see the obvious error on review.

I'd say they avoid this label by staying focused on media criticism rather than weighing in on every issue. They're not revolutionaries by any stretch, sure, but their positions feel pretty cleanly left of lib. Sometimes they get a libbed up guest and it leads to a disappointing ep, but those aren't that common imo.

Imagine reading this and thinking this is the 'honest'. The point is that it's the dumbest thing he can possibly come up with. He's literally self inserting himself as a punchline to the joke.

Was this launch day? I remember being early but didn’t know if I jumped on right away.

Not sure if I’m missing something, but the biggest “going wrong” would be a total loss of the AC unit right? So instead of hedging risk and upgrading it, couldn’t you try a quick fix and see what happens? I bet some contractor could do it for way, way less, like a day of work + supplies and a new return duct. Spend a lot less now and realistically I bet you could get a few more years out of it. I’m not an expert by any means, but this is what I’d do if I didn’t have the cash lying around for a full upgrade. It’s basically a matter of risking ~$2k to maybe need a full replacement anyways, or paying the full cost up front. I’d get a second opinion and push them to say the actual likelihood of a failure with the patch job.
