Fucking do it already. We’ve been hearing “impending recession” for the last decade.

If you are in the US, diabetes is covered by the Americans with disabilities act and there are laws governing what kind of accommodations your employer is legally obligated to make for you.

Diabetes comes with needing extra or extended sick time and is not likely an unreasonable accommodation for your employer to make.

Know your rights before your talk to them

How is it unlikely? Libraries are the shit and we were taught how to use them in public school. We also have a significantly lower stigma about using public services unlike the shit ass generations before us

Everyone should have to retest for their driving license every 5 years. I let mine lapse during COVID and had to retest, it wasn’t a pain, I learned some stuff I had forgotten, and moved on. It would filter out a large portion of the population who shouldn’t still be allowed to drive. It’s a skill that fades and rules change, especially over a persons lifetime

Reminder that Reid Hastings the Netflix founder is a prolific anti union and anti public school pact funder. He is a piece of shit outside of giving chappelle a platform

Or, a bunch of people who are over the inequality in our world regardless of how the person comes by the money.

I don’t care if Microsoft pays him a salary or not, hoarding that much wealth is a mental illness that can only be cured by a guillotine

And usually home owners insurance since that is usually held in escrow by your mortgage company. This isn’t the meme OP thinks it is

You’re right, yelling at someone is super vile behavior. It should definitely be punished. I assume you also believe that freely expressing options about politics, or religion is also super vile and should be punished.

The west has its own issues, and the way people interact with each other is one of them, but the UAE is not in a position to pass judgement. The forced civility between civilians while the government carries out mass executions by beheading of dissidents is a thin vail over the same vile behavior you are decrying in your comments.

I’ve read all of your comments in this thread, you are 1000% shilling for UAE

Love how much OP is shilling for UAE. I doubt OP would be so okay with the jail sentence if it were them who had to serve it.

I’m so tired of the cattle industry in Colorado. From their extreme water usage in a water strapped state, to their entitlement to using federal land to graze, to their insistence on killing the wolves that the state voted to introduce, to their election of Lauren Boebert. It is selfish bullshit after selfish bullshit and enough is enough

A late caution period triggered by Kevin Magnussen’s stranded Haas initially brought out a virtual safety car, which prompted the leaders to head for the pits.

At the time, with second-placed Norris around nine seconds adrift of race leader Max Verstappen who seemed out of touch, McLaren felt that the safer option was to switch Norris to hards rather than take unnecessary risks and go on to used softs.

When race control switched the VSC to a full safety car period, the potential for Norris to fight Verstappen for the win suddenly emerged, as well as the requirement for him to protect his position at the restart. Those factors meant it made more sense to go for the softs.

But the timing of that safety car call, just as Norris came in to the pits with the hard tyres ready in position, came too late for McLaren to feel it was safe enough to switch to softs.

Speaking about the call to go on hards, with the cars around Norris all on softs, McLaren team principal Andrea Stella explained it was all down to timing.

“Under the virtual safety car, we were happy to go on hard tyres because it wouldn't have been a problem in terms of warm up,” he said.

“But then the virtual safety car was converted into a safety car when we were pitting, and everything was [ready] at the pitstop to put hard tyres on. A last-minute change to soft would have been an operational problem.”

Ultimately, the biggest risk was of Norris arriving at the pitbox before the soft tyres were ready – which could have opened the door for other drivers to overtake him.

“If you have the pitstop crew ready with the hard tyres, and you make a call for soft tyres, it means that the guys that need to pick the tyres would have to rush there in the garage, remove the blankets, and bring the tyres back. It can create quite a bit of a situation, and it could have delayed the pitstop.”

While McLaren knew that the warm up on the hard would be more difficult than the soft, the high-speed nature of Silverstone meant that the difference between the two compounds was minimal compared to how it can be at other low energy circuits.

That is why it stuck to its guns in fitting the hards, rather than trying to execute a last-second change of plan.

“We thought that this is not one of those situations in which the hard tyres have a massive difference from a warm-up point of view to the soft,” Stella added.

“If you can manage the first four corners, and then you go through corner nine, you start to generate a decent amount of temperature. So we kept the decision simple.

“We didn't want to change the allocation of tyres at the pitstop because this could have meant a significant delay. And, accepting that it could have cost us at the restart maybe one position, that was the most sensible thing to do.”

Given how iHeartMedia, Spotify, and Apple are all more and more invested in the podcast ecosystem it seems they are purchasing content and putting it behind a paywall. I’d like to make sure the podcasts I care about are backed up.

I saw the internet archive had a podcasts section but there wasn’t a lot of the content I’d expect to see so also interested if anyone is building a public archive
