Good for you! That time with your family is really important.

I'm from the US and I caused quite a stir when I took 4 weeks off; 3 days paternity leave and the rest was accrued vacation. HR was trying to convince me to break it up because "it would set a bad precedent." But my boss was supportive and approved it anyway.

Good thing you were never a kid! That'd be pretty fucked up if you had been a kid at some point and benefitted from the general public funding your education, then you slam the door behind you and make everyone else pay their own way through elementary school.

Our planet is the powerhouse of the solar system.

Let me be clear that I'm no fan of RFK, anti-vaxxers, or any fad diets. I am a fan of evidence-based nutrition and practicing moderation. I believe that a varied diet with lower-processed foods is best for most people.

Avocado and EVOO are much less processed, which is generally preferable to more highly refined ingredients. Refining removes a lot of nutrients and concentrates what's left. That means you need a lot less of it to influence the balance of things within your body. It doesn't make highly refined oils "bad", but it does make watching your intake of them more important.

Specifically about the oils, seed oils are high in omega-6 and low in omega-3. Your body needs both and it cannot produce them. The issue comes from the fact that the average American diet has a stark imbalance of way too much 6 and not enough 3. Refined oils provide a lot of 6 but 3 is harder to come by. Getting a good amount of 3 means eating oily fish and nuts, and choosing more balanced oils for a more balanced diet.

The ideal omega-6 to omega-3 ratio is 2:1 or 1:1, but for most people in the U.S., the ratio is actually a whopping 10:1 or even 20:1.

Watch out for that Enola Gay, droppin big ol gay bombs turnin the frogs gay or somethin.

The company must have more than 500 equity holders and have more than $10 million in assets. If the company maintains a limited number of owners, they will never be required to go public regardless of their valuation.

And what did Trump get in return for his massive concession? Anything? What's the point of a trade war if you back down at the slightest bit of pressure? What a fucking dunce. This whole thing is unbelievably stupid.

There is no requirement to ever go public, in the US anyway. I work for a multi-billion dollar company that's entirely privately held. It just tends to happen because it's the best way for the equity holders to convert their ownership into cash. It can be hard to sell a whole company because that requires someone to go all in to buy it and they must accept all the risk of maintaining its value. But you can go public and get tons of investment money without having to sell.

I used to read it to see what conservatives were thinking. There used to be actual discourse in the comments about policy positions. It's now nothing more than brainrot and Russian trolls.

Absolutely not. My employer has no business knowing my medical history.

Why craft your message with the primary goal of not angering a bunch of snowflakes who are going to attack you literally no matter what you say. We're up against people that think wearing a tan suit is a newsworthy scandal and electing a rapist is fine. Or do you need me to say "found civilly liable for sexual assault but never criminally convicted of rape"?

It was a shit show and an embarrassment.

The ability to do behind the scenes work is super important. It's half the requirement. But the other half is being able to do in the moment interactions. Look at Trump/VD with Zelenski. Being charismatic and able to handle in-person negotiations with foreign leaders is hugely important.

Keep the garage door closed for free heating in the winter.

More likely, he'll delete the database.

I can't wait to see what their investigation finds in 3 years! Hopefully they'll finally lay out a rock solid 7 year strategy to bring charges against Trump. That'll show 'em!

No love for Jezzball?

AI certainly can do it. But here's the thing with generative AI: the answer is only as good as the question you ask. If you don't know exactly what to ask for and which details are important, the AI doesn't know what you meant to ask and can't infer that. AI usually does not pick up implied context that an experienced person would. A person would be able to make an educated guess about what you actually meant and answer that question.

As someone with 20 years of programming experience, I would recommend against using AI to learn to program. You're asking something that doesn't actually know how to program to show you how to do it. From my experience with coworkers using AI, it doesn't improve their work; it simply accelerates the rate at which they can produce low quality work.

Once you're more skilled than the AI, you can use it to speed up menial tasks, like generating boilerplate and stubbing things out. It absolutely will be wrong in some ways, and you need to be able to tell when it's wrong and know how to fix it.

Exactly. Same as with Trump's rigged election claims: show us the evidence or fuck all the way off with your conspiratorial fantasies. We have very real urgent issues to focus on before we entertain "curiosities".

Doing PDF handling with jQuery? Yeah, it do be like that sometimes.
