We found a race condition in the teleport code. Turns out the efficiency curve for the restoration magic that undoes the disintegration in real time has a parabolic mana requirement related to mass, but disintegrate has a caterneric curve. For human sized stuff they match up, but if you try to teleport something of sufficient mass the restoration starts to draw a disproportionate amount of mana and the whole thing falls apart.

Also, we need to hire some more QA contractors.

That's a load bearing "done right".

This is true of warehouses everywhere, not just ones in underdeveloped countries. Developed countries just usually have a higher turnover and distribution closer to production sources, so they sit in storage for less time.

I'm assuming there's a light under that top dome cap, and that the box is there to regulate the chamber environment, making this more of a vivarium than a terrarium.

Given that she's using it as an oxygen source, the term vivarium, meaning "place of life", doubly applies.

Her evil name then, should be Vivaria

my employer fired a double digit percentage of their workforce and then instituted draconian RTO policies to, in the words of an actual HR leader, "get rid of a few more without paying severance".

Within 3 weeks almost half as many people as they had fired had quit. Pretty much every single team lost their most critical employees. They started back pedaling that policy at week four, but they don't realize the only good people left are just being picky about which offer they take from where.
