They usually have to do many takes of one scene.
While I don't doubt that the real stuff is easier to find on the set than the fake, it's just not practical.

Offerings of food are historically very common in temples

Gig economy coming to disrupt the terrorism market

I'm always surprised how many employees these companies have. 18.400?

Working in a large software company myself I shouldn't be surprised, the level of inefficiency is amazing. I've seen less inertia in government agencies. Dilbert comics were supposed to be an exaggeration, they're not.

Hard dilemma ... Do you guarantee that the table will not change dimensions in those 2 days?
Needs some planning, there might be ways to avoid measuring a table for a while.

Even knowing the etymology, for a long time I was puzzled why that term was used - it seemed that they hate gay people, not fear them. After meeting some homophobes, I was wrong. They are so utterly completely horrified by the idea of gay people existing to the level they start losing higher brain function.

Which community is this? For research purposes of course.

Nah, I checked the user's history before engaging, they (heh) seem to be honestly convinced. But I don't think even they can explain where their fear of trans people comes from.

You have a chance to run an experiment.

Know your audience. A lot of people here are trans or trans-adjacent. Imagine if you were speaking to a room full of trans people. What would you say to convince them to accept their birth gender? Or at least not be booed out of the room.

Most of them. There are a couple of crazy ones, but mostly don't be an asshole and I doubt many would ban you for expressing an opinion that gender is permanently fixed on birth/conception. You would get downvoted a lot though.

Well you seem to consider it a "hysteria" and a "trans agenda", so I don't think you would welcome any actual discussion. Or that you care at all either way.

If you really want to discuss the question of what gender really is, does it exist, and how this messy stuff of being a human functions, there are much better ways to open a discussion.

Packaged products ready to use? No.
Libraries which I use in my own projects? I at least have a quick look at the implementation, often a more detailed analysis if issues pop up.

Somewhere in the last 1/4 you'll find out you're reading the wrong book

Me too. Unfortunately their downfall doesn't seem to be coming along at all...

where meme?

Depends, does he influence people only when they are very, very close to him?

Sounds like an excuse to go to a conference.

Looking at the agenda it's all like - "revolutionary idea, what if we organized a company so that it's not horribly dysfunctional"

4/10, would attend if all expenses covered
