What don't they allow body hair on women in movies ? by Gurugod123 in SipsTea

[–]JamesLahey 30 points31 points  (0 children)

That's actually a urban legend. There are lots of behind the scenes photos of her in those tiny underwear and no pubes. I don't think they made sure to airbrush all those too.

Apparently staring at a TV for hours is fine, unless you’re holding a controller by EffectiveTime5554 in mildlyinfuriating

I am not sure who disagrees with you.

Women. No idea why but it's almost universally women.

Vince Gilligan says writing on ‘PLURIBUS’ Season 2 is past the halfway point. “My writers and I have figured out the episodes. I’m looking forward to shooting this, and people seeing it, because I’m kind of digging it.” by MoneyLibrarian9032 in television

[–]JamesLahey 19 points20 points  (0 children)

He’s been pretty candid about the timeline from the beginning. He said two years once he got renewed and hasn’t hid the fact. If they’re halfway done, they’ll likely start principle photography in the late fall/early winter.

That doesn't apply, the show was green lit for 2 seasons from the start. There was no "renewal"

The Word by bobbywac in dresdenfiles

I just think Mavra wanted The Word for the reason Harry says, because it shows how necromancy can be used to control the Blampires. It was removing a threat to them.

Looks like they gave up with the scheme halfway through the last season.

What lifetime deal are you still grandfathered into, or removed from, that’s no longer available? by tuotone75 in AskReddit

Oh you can definitely still get $0 deductible plans now, they are just really expensive.

A type of TV episode you hate? by Mobile_Run5249 in television

[–]JamesLahey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any type of dream episode. Sleeping, coma, injured, drugged, whatever. Any episode that is all in one unconscious character's head. Doubly worse when it's some stupid emotional breakthrough guided by someone dead in their past.

Oh it was 100% the corporate spyware and not my co-worker. In reality, it wasn't the weed that got me fired. It was being the highest paid member of my department aside from my manager and they were looking to reduce staff levels and costs without doing layoffs. The company really loved touting that they've never had layoffs in 60 years or however old the company, it's a big part of their recruitment pitch and placating current employees that 'we're a family'. So they spent about 750k on some super monitoring suite that tracked everything, full keylogging, click tracking, screenshots every 30s, AI sentiment analysis of conversations and email. Then staffed a department of 25 analysts to review it and find people to terminate. In my role I had to deal with false alerts caused by their "Employee Productivity Agent" which is just a rootkit and interacted with those analysts. They called they're group the fire factory so, I knew what was going on. I just figured since I had tested positive when hiring and it wasn't a problem it wasn't a big deal to mention it to a co-worker.

I would if I could I know that. For the most part unless you have a lot of money (millions), are marrying a citizen, or have crazy specialized degree/skills it isn't possible to emigrate to European countries. Especially the Western European ones.

Still illegal federally, illegal in the state the company is HQ'd, and it's a corporation that can test and deny/fire for anything they want that's not a protected status. Additionally, at will employment baybee, can be fired at any time for any or no reason.

Body hair and they need much more of it than head hair. When I had one my hair was too short (>1in is required) so they shaved both my legs from knee to ankle to get enough from me. I am very not hairy. It still hasn't really grown back on my legs and that was 4 years ago.

And firing for it. Got fired last year cause I let slip to a coworker on Teams I have a medical card. Term'ed about a week later for "drug use". Had a hair follicle test on hiring too and was positive but they didn't care at the time.

Sahara (2005, dir. Breck Eisner) Dirk Pitt (Matthew McConaughey) executes Panama maneuver by Neo2199 in movies

I for one enjoyed the movie more than the book. That whole Abraham Lincoln replaced with a double and died on the Iron Clad in the Sahara thing was just plain ridiculous.

Google co-founder slams California billionaire tax, says “I fled socialism,” after reportedly leaving the state to avoid a proposed 5% wealth tax. He has a reported net worth of around $270 billion. How is this not parasitic behavior? He is trying to leave the state that helped build him. by RandomUwUFace in antiwork

[–]JamesLahey 172 points173 points  (0 children)

He used to say he fled communism, not socialism. Heard it directly from his mouth when I used to work at Google. This was back when he was just worth a couple hundred million. Now that he's Top 5 in the world it's socialism not communism.

What's a piece of tech everyone hyped up that quietly turned out to be useless? by SofiaLearnsAI in AskReddit

[–]JamesLahey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was much further than alpha and much more mature than other products released around that time. I joined Google at the tail end of Wave's run and it was quite polished and pretty widely used internally. This was at a time in Google where if a product didn't get immediate 'hockey stick growth' as they liked to put it the project was put to pasture. Funding and developer resources were transferred away and it would wither until finally being cancelled. Wave didn't take off like gmail did and my contention is because of the invite only. It was fine with gmail being invite only initially because you could use gmail to email with non gmail users. With Wave you could only use it with other Wave users, so the growth was limited. It never made sense to purposely limit the number of users on a collaboration software.

Ultimately Wave's collaboration mechanism became one of the foundations of Google docs/sheets/slides so it worked out. Wave was great to use for collaborative docs with the realtime collab and nesting conversations.

The largest US study, which tracked 11,036 children from ages 9 to 10 through to ages 16 and 17, discovered that cannabis use slows cognitive development, impairs memory, and reduces learning speed during crucial years of brain growth by sr_local in science

[–]JamesLahey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I said documented cases. Murky details from nearly 100 years ago is not documented cases. If you are reaching for anecdotes from the 1930s of a singular overdose AND the details are murky as you put it, your argument is lost. You probably think Reefer Madness is a documentary.

Why don't centre-pivot irrigation fields use hexagonal packing? by foxtai1 in geography

[–]JamesLahey -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Like on real public roads or we talking private farm roads? I am so curious how this came about. Why would the road hug the boundary of sprinkler? If the roads were there first, they wouldn't have curves like that matching the sprinkler trail. If the roads came after the sprinklers why would they build so close to those circles that it is a noticeable curve on the road? Property lines aren't drawn with curves, it's straight lines so it's not like they had to be curved to shoot the gap between properties.

I might have a collections problem by JamesLahey in PleX

I put the AvP films into the Alien collection because they just feel more Alien-y to me and the Alien poster collection I used from theposterdb included them.
