If they leave a dedicated water fountain I see no issues. You shouldn’t need employee assistance for freaking water.

Yeah, I’ve heard getting water in restaurants is weird in several countries in Europe. Sparkling water is apparently default in some places (italy I think?).

Cans/bottles take up too much space compared to a plastic bag of concentrated stuff hooked up to a fountain.

US says cyberattacks against water supplies are rising, and utilities need to do more to stop them (apnews.com)

Is there any guarantee the utility company won’t just drop you like a rock when they’re fed up with contesting bills? (That is a serious question, most of us are locked in by utility monopolies so if that is a risk it would be borderline life ruining)

"Outrageously" priced weight-loss drugs could bankrupt US health care (arstechnica.com)

With the debut of remarkably effective weight-loss drugs, America’s high obesity rate and its uniquely astronomical prescription drug pricing appear to be set on a catastrophic collision course—one that threatens to “bankrupt our entire health care system,” according to a new Senate report that modeled the economic...

FFS It’s a Diabetes drug, give it to the people who actually need it, not people who just want it to lose weight easy. I know multiple diabetics and according to them, this one is seriously gamechanging for maintaining blood sugar.

It pisses me off to hear about shortages caused by people being prescribed it to shed a few pounds.

The Trinidad Scorpion pepper is hot, but has an EXTREMELY delicious fruity flavor that I haven’t had from any other pepper.

Carolina reapers just taste/smell like gasoline.

I’ve got one called “La Jefa” from SauceBoss that has it, nice earthy and hot flavor with that nice fruityness

Also got one called “Djabla Filipino hot sauce”, also very tasty

A smaller platform? Say, perhaps, a sedan? Like they universally stopped making across all their brands in favor of SUVs and pickups?

Corporate real estate is on a 'cliff edge' as firms race to rethink communal spaces (www.bbc.com)

As more employees work from home in the hybrid-work era, many companies are finding they need smaller offices. Compared to pre-pandemic floorplans designed to house as many workers as possible, more businesses are looking towards more compact but higher-quality spaces for the future....

Other useful bootable tools are MS DaRT and Hirens Boot Disc (is that still a thing? Haven’t used it in a while.)

The drive is also still usable for bulk storage, so a big one is still a great option. I’ve got it set up on a nice small form factor 256GB usb.

Americans are choking on surging fast-food prices. "I can't justify the expense," one customer says (www.cbsnews.com)

Kevin Roberts remembers when he could get a bacon cheeseburger, fries and a drink from Five Guys for $10. But that was years ago. When the Virginia high school teacher recently visited the fast-food chain, the food alone without a beverage cost double that amount....

Only 10 pounds of lithium? I work in IT and I’ve probably had triple that on a desk at times (I sometimes wonder where that cardboard box of spicy pillows ran off to in my last job).

Edit: Oh that’s probably raw lithium, not total weight of battery, isn’t it?

Well, I can say I’ve seen that many laptops in one place before, but definitely not in one room (outside of a warehouse and a couple larger buildings). Most I’ve had in a small place is a couple hundred.

Good to know. Definitely agree, mobile device batteries really should be more controlled from a fire safety perspective, Id be surprised if most IT departments even have disposal policies for them, existing policies can also be so convoluted that it’s easier to just stuff them in a cabinet and forget they exist).

I’ve seen laptops and phones sitting on a shelf for a year or two because disposal forms require signatures that are invalidated due to turnover, starting the process over from scratch.

(IANAL) So, technically speaking, signing up for the military means the government literally owns you. Self harm and body modification (even as mild as forgetting sunblock and getting sunburned, unapproved cosmetic surgeries) can be punished, on the grounds of damaging government/military property, making a soldier non-combat-ready.
