Is that what they should do? Abso-fucking-lutely

But is that what any publicly traded company does??

Couldn't Biden write an executive order that describes what is "official" vs "unofficial"?

OpenSCAD is pretty good, but I've run into issues with the rotate/extrude. Also only saves as a mesh, which may or may not matter for your application

I say let it happen. If someone is dumb enough to fire all their workers... They deserve what will happen next

PFOA is considered a known human carcinogen. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfluorooctanoic_acid

You seem to have no direct experience with science, given how misinformed you sound.

No no no, that's not true privatization. True privatization would fix all the problems

Pulling the dictionary accomplishes what they want: a dumber future generation.

Pull the Bible, that's what riles them up

Slave labor?

For all we know it could be the exact same thing the US does with our prisoner work programs.

So if we're going to call out China, can we please stop doing it here too?

Their incentives go directly against our incentives quite often

There is some level of R&D they do to productize it, manufacturability and scaling. And running drug safety trials cannot be cheap, especially the liability insurance.

That all said, I think it's criminal that the university labs pay so little. PhD students barely make over $40k, set by the NIH. Not adjusted for CoL either.

I think I have more of an issue with the for-profit nature of pharma companies. Shareholders shouldn't be involved in medicine.

Damn, the setting isn't even in the app settings. That's sneaky. Fuckers.

I hate my job... (lemmy.world)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by piecat@lemmy.world to c/funny@sh.itjust.works

My job is so fucking unbelievable.

I'll try to sum it up by first telling you about the folks I work with:

First, there is this supermodel wanna-be chick. Yeah, okay, she is pretty hot, but damn is she completely useless. The girl is constantly fixing her hair or putting on makeup. She is extremely self-centered and has never once considered the needs or wants of anyone but herself. She is as dumb as a box of rocks, and I still find it surprising that she has enough brain power to continue to breathe.

The next chick is completely the opposite. She might even be one of the smartest people on the planet. Her career opportunities are endless, and yet she is here with us. She is a zero on a scale of 1 to 10. I'm not sure she even showers, much less shaves her "womanly" parts. I think she might be a lesbian, because every time we drive by the hardware store, she moans like a cat in heat.

But the jewel of the crowd has got to be the fucking stoner. And this guy is more than just your average pothead. In fact, he is baked before he comes to work, during work, and I'm sure after work. He probably hasn't been sober anytime in the last ten years, and he's only 22. He dresses like a beatnik throwback from the 1960's, and to make things worse, he brings his big fucking dog to work. Every fucking day I have to look at this huge Great Dane walk around half-stoned from the second-hand smoke. Hell, sometimes I even think it's trying to talk with its constant bellowing. Also, both of them are constantly hungry, requiring multiple stops to McDonalds and Burger King, every single fucking day.

Anyway, I drive these fucktards around in my van and we solve mysteries and shit.
