Interestingly, I am having this problem on Linux. EndeavourOS. It's a rolling release distro, so probably a new "cutting-edge" browser feature broke the ad blockers.

This comic strip is part of a series that talks about taking care of the environment. In this specific comic, he's showing that rooftop gardens are just the beginning, but it inspired aliens to integrate nature into their society. It's kind of sad because these aliens only saw a tiny part of our planet and imagined that everywhere has plenty of nature and we take care of it, but we know it's not like that since we're experts at destroying nature.

In Interstellar movie I almost had a syncope when Dr. Romilly explains how a wormhole works to Cooper as if he were a 5-year-old child and not a former NASA astronaut.

The reasons are the worst:

  • Companies said they are posting fake jobs for a laundry list of reasons, including to deceive their own employees.

  • More than 60% of those surveyed said they posted fake jobs “to make employees believe their workload would be alleviated by new workers.”

  • Sixty-two percent of companies said another reason for the shady practice is to “have employees feel replaceable.”

  • Two-thirds of companies cited a desire to “appear the company is open to external talent” and 59% said it was an effort to “collect resumes and keep them on file for a later date.”

  • What’s even more concerning about the results: 85% of companies engaging in the practice said they interviewed candidates for the fake jobs."

I am receiving reports that this comic is racist. Correct me if I am wrong. Although the story itself depicts an extremely racist and violent event, it seems more like a protest against the racism that was the norm in society at the time.

The correct way is to lie on your side, facing left. Because prevents gastric acid in esophagus.

edit for clarification: This method is efficient primarily when the lower esophageal sphincter (I had to Google the correct name) is not functioning as intended.

TLDR:

Kytch, a startup, developed a device to fix McDonald's ice cream machines but faced opposition after a 2020 McDonald's email warning against its use, citing safety concerns. Kytch alleges this move, influenced by machine manufacturer Taylor, was to undermine them as a competitor. Recent litigation reveals an email from Taylor's CEO suggesting action against Kytch, which Kytch claims as evidence of a plot to sabotage their business.

Despite Taylor and McDonald's denials, Kytch continues legal action, asserting the email demonstrates a coordinated effort to eliminate competition.

2042 and 2043 are red flags. He must really want to get elected.

This was the first thing that came to my mind. So I tried again, using a VPN (exit server in the USA) and an incognito window. That screenshot came from that result.
