I agree this "factory jobs for everyone and their children" bullshit needs to be prevented, but what I listed isn't just a fantasy. It's literally a major part of what I do for a living. It's all I did for a time when I was a consultant. Employers who are smart enough to have any concern for long-term sustainability and profitability take this quite seriously as it's not just ethically the "right thing to do", it's a smart business move.

Looks great, bravo!

It doesn't, it still has some exclamation point action that might be the issue. If it helps, you should be able to copy and paste my example markdown. I gave it a try and it still works.

I believe this is what you're looking for:

Preach! I have an advanced degree in a technical field and I earn (adjusted for inflation) about 75% of what my father did in the same industry doing similar work without even a GED. The real punch to the gut is I live in a high cost of living area while he worked in a very low cost of living area. Thanks, capitalism!

Great question. Work-related musculoskeletal disorders are more difficult to avoid when tasks are repetitive, forceful, and/or use a limited range of motion. Implementing a "stretch and flex" type program, completing thorough ergonomic evaluations (and actually following through with their findings), and rotating workers through various tasks that change the motions performed and body parts being stressed will knock down injuries considerably.

Hard agree. You can also break them in half or into quarters and cook them in smaller portions. This is how my partner and I save money on eating out. We usually eat out due to some combination of being tired or lazy, or craving salty, greasy food. This hits all the major potential bases but keeps us from gorging on pizza or wasting what we can't eat.

We do, but I didn't even know they existed before this incident. I've luckily had few dental issues.

Red aggro nailed it. There's a gap at the gum line between my remaining tooth and the crown, leaving exposed dentin.

I had a dentist give me an unnecessary root canal when a filling broke and they didn't even do it right. I'm still pretty salty about it. I'll always get a second opinion moving forward.

If you have any sources beyond "IMO" I'd be interested. Until then, I'll consider the correlative data to possibly have merit at least worth consideration and further (personal) investigation, especially since it was never stated or even suggested to be definitive or a universal phenomenon. The article is also anything but comprehensive, so I think you'd need to review the actual data to debunk anything.

Edit: I also never stated this was the sole and definitive cause, only that it may explain it. I'm a scientist, I know better than to definitively state just about anything, even in my own field, but I'll still share interesting articles without busting out a MANOVA.

Good news: a Switch emulator already exists.

I just can't stand the "adult woman talking/singing in a breathy small child's voice" style that's so popular in Japan, and Hatsune Miku is that squared.

Edit: here's a related article for anyone curious about why that phenomenon may exist. In a nutshell: gender inequality.

Same, there's not enough money in the world to entice me to deal with hormone fueled insanity again. I occasionally take a round of corticosteroids and they return just a fraction of that emotional volatility. No, just no.

I've heard if you expose your perineum to the sun, it maximizes the benefit (and your odds of ass cancer).

Yes, but only in the 18+ section.

¡Tan vibracional!

Thanks dad.

Ugh, your wife and me both. "Have you tried meditation? Fasting? Maybe just push through the pain?"

Pushing through the pain is why my desk jockey ass is currently recovering from a surgery rarely performed on non-athletes. At least all the hospital documentation promises that I can start competitive play within a year or so. Upgrade!

They include these goofy looking guys, Cotylorhynchus, AKA the anti-Charlie Kirk.
