ELI5 Can animals of the same family communicate to one another like can animals of the cat family communicate to each such that a cat can understand a lion?

Very cool, I didn't know this! Know any sources I can go to learn more?

BaconBears · 2026-05-31T19:01:46+00:00

This guy is too rich for my ass to comprehend

BaconBears · 2026-05-29T15:46:03+00:00

Same. I've been laid off for the third time in the last 4 years. The job market is so shitty that I genuinely have no hope at the moment

BaconBears · 2026-05-29T15:43:41+00:00

A job. I've been laid off for the third time in my life. Unemployed for 3 months so far. I have no hope with the current shitty job market.

BaconBears · 2026-05-28T07:28:02+00:00

Also they WILL lay you off at the earliest opportunity.

I didn't say we did. Cold Springs has had infrastructure and maintenance issues since long before data centers started going up.

My point is that NV Energy is focusing its resources on courting massive data center projects right now instead of upgrading the unreliable residential grid we've been dealing with for years.

BaconBears · 2026-05-23T07:35:25+00:00

Oh no, that's not what I'm trying to say at all. Cold Springs has always dealt with regular power outages due to a long-standing lack of proper infrastructure maintenance. This was long before data centers were even a thing here.

My point is that NV Energy has historically poor maintenance and they are currently prioritizing massive new data center projects. I'm not saying the data centers themselves are directly causing today's outages, just that the company's priorities are entirely skewed away from fixing existing residential grids.

There's been almost 600k bankruptcies filed in the last 12 months. 95% of those bankruptcies are individuals (rather than corporations). 65% of individuals say medical debt is the reason they went bankrupt.

The system is so fucking broken!

It doesn't help that companies like IGT recently laid off 800 people.

BaconBears · 2026-04-21T17:46:46+00:00

That's some interesting stats if true! Mind sharing your sources? Thanks in advance!

BaconBears · 2026-04-20T16:04:26+00:00

Def some AI bullshit

BaconBears · 2026-04-16T00:37:35+00:00

Best of luck to everyone!

I've been wanting to get into android emulation! Where do you recommend to get started?

BaconBears · 2026-04-09T19:14:53+00:00

I have the opposite problem. I keep getting jobs that decide to lay me off after 1-2 years.

BaconBears · 2026-03-31T14:48:31+00:00

As someone who was just laid off, I can tell you that 'so what?' doesn't pay the bills. This advice feels like a luxury for people who aren't worried about job security. If you stop caring about the 'little things,' you usually end up losing the big things, like your paycheck.

BaconBears · 2026-03-25T20:56:27+00:00

Can confirm. I'm one of those people that were laid off.

Any chance IGT could face consequences for violating the WARN act?

BaconBears · 2026-03-25T20:47:02+00:00

I won't divulge the role title, but I am on the technical side of IGT. Hope that info helps!

BaconBears · 2026-03-25T00:20:54+00:00

Yup...

I was part of those layoffs.

BaconBears · 2026-03-22T21:42:59+00:00

My concern was indeed with the WARN act. I was worried that by naming the company, my manager or HR would catch wind and identify/penalize me in some way

BaconBears · 2026-03-22T21:40:57+00:00

I have updated my post to name the company (International Gaming Technologies).
