Last I checked (just now), US representatives make $174K/year. They're not allowed to keep donations for themselves and I can't find mention of any additional pay packages.

Can you show me where this additional $126K is coming from?

I don't know, detailed knowledge about animal scrotums could be useful at the right parties.

Seriously, the cyber truck is an embarrassment. The only positive thing I can say about its design is at least it doesn't have a tall, blunt front end that minimizes pedestrian visibility while maximizing pedestrian fatality, as seems to be the current trend.

Do you have any sources for "basically it's almost ensured that most multicellular life is toast" or is this supposition? I'm a biologist and, while I think anthropogenic climate change is an extreme threat, have yet to see even the most extreme projections getting us anywhere near what you're suggesting.

Imagine snowballing Trump's load with Jeff Bezos. That pay better be pretty fucking high.

All commercial AIs are filled with censorship. What's interesting about it is learning what different societies think is worth censoring and how they censor it.

Right to work means they have the right to fire you for any reason.

It literally and definitively does not, hence my prior post.

Right to work means non-union employees can't be forced to pay dues in a unionized workplace. It has nothing to do with at-will employment, which allows an employer to terminate an employee without cause at any time.

The only non-at-will state is Montana.

What is a man? A miserable garbage sack of secrets.

I didn't get to it, but I haven't forgotten. I'm shooting for Thursday. This week has been a whirlwind.

Awww

Aww, thanks! I'm kinda regretting not naming it oneninesix, but here we are. I guess I love letters.

If you're interested in modding or want to provide some feedback/suggestions/anything, PLEASE hop over and let me know in the comments or by PM.

Same, I'd much rather not have a break in content continuity and I'm ambivalent on being a mod.

Agreed, getting this back is much more preferable. I tried 197-1 but the - was problematic.

Hard agree, 100%. If they want to jump ship, fine, but scorched earthing the old 196 is bullshit.

So I made !onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone

We'll see how it goes!

So I made a new community.

Banner and icon will follow, I'm literally out running errands right now!

I'm there with you. We bought the first Model S Refresh. We knew he was a piece of shit then, but the same could be said of any automotive CEO. Then he rapidly got worse and now it's my shame mobile. I actually love the car, but I feel so fucking gross driving it.

Is a complete lack of self awareness heritable? Are they going to breed a race of super clueless whities with bad eyesight?

Dude, you just made my evening. I have an ad-riddled Kindle that's now going to get an upgrade today!

Word. I bought enough safety razor blades for likely the rest of my life for about $75 (on sale)
