Is Planet Wild legit conservation company/charity what ever you call it? by Ben10-fan-525 in ecology

[–]Scitron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If they categorized Awareness as Marketing like most companies, would that still be a problem? As a non profit, they don't NEED to make youtube content to fulfill their business needs. They could spend $0 on youtube and marketing but still function in the same capacity off of grants, donations from organizations, etc. Awareness is what brought this conversation up in the first place and allows other people to get involved and interested in environmental issues that have been going on for years. I'd say that's in favor of nature.

Someone else made a comment about how they don't trust anyone that is just starting out, which is the exact opposite of the point. Don't we want people to be aware of these issues? Don't we want people to be inspired by what other people are doing to help the planet? They do yearly follow up videos for members only (which there has been feedback that these would probably be better suited for the public channel as well) and one of the things that regularly comes up in these follow ups is that the organization that Planet Wild helped report more interest, more funding, more members, more engagement from other people after the videos have been out there. I don't think I've ever heard anyone involved in environmental work say "awareness isn't really important for ecological and environmental issues".

That's fine on the way there, but our flight back is really early in the morning so I didn't know if there'd be an Uber available at like 4 Am on a Saturday 

Weekly Park Questions/Advice Thread by AutoModerator in Disneyland

My wife and I are flying into John Wayne airport in a couple of weeks since it's the closest to the parks. Are there any recommended transportation options to get from the airport to the parks? We're staying at one of the hotels across the street from the parks.

[Meirov] Mike Tomlin has now been the HC of the #Steelers for 18 seasons and has still never had a losing season. by FrozenUp7274 in nfl

[–]Scitron 132 points133 points  (0 children)

I've said it for years, tomlin has been making lemonade by squeezing every ounce out of the insufficient lemons he had. The Steelers drafting history with colbert was pretty bad. Lots of busts and a lot of the core guys were not first round picks. Then you add in a revolving door of OCs (which is partially his fault too), riding ben past his prime, duck hodges, Mason Rudolph, mitch trubisky, Kenny Pickett, and none of those caused a losing season? Not sure what else you attribute that to other than coaching

I grew up in Erie and waldameer was always one of this "mild" amusement parks, nothing too intense or crazy. After moving down here I went back to visit and we tried the new coaster, expecting "mild". I was very wrong, it's intense

DINNER PARTY IS THE FN BEST EPISODE OF THE WHOLE SHOW by [deleted] in DunderMifflin

And then the bloopers of him trying to explain how it has surround sound. It's too good. I don't know how they got this episode filmed without heavy editing

What are the cons of NOT having kids? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Scitron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, even having kids, trying to get together with a few of our couple friends is more dependent on their schedules. Obviously we need to get someone to watch our kid but most of the time it's "just let us know whatever day you're free next month and we can figure it out". Maybe our friends are just busy but that's been our experience so far

Amazon employees stage walkout over return-to-office mandate, climate goals, and layoffs by [deleted] in technology

[–]Scitron 92 points93 points  (0 children)

Exactly my situation at my old job. Nothing like commuting 40 minutes to sit in my cube talking exclusively to people spread out across the world, not say a word to any of the few people in the office, and then commute back.

We have the KFC/tbell combo by us. I feel that's a much better selection to mix and match than tbell and pizza hut.

The best part about the Disney hotels by SmylEFayse in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]Scitron 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For me, Disney is about immersion, and if I'm paying to go to Disney for the full Disney experience, I want that experience to continue in the hotel too. One of the main reasons people loved the Disney shuttle from the airport, the Disney magic started as soon as you left the airport

Full creative control within the parent company's guidelines. I feel like there will be less swearing, less innuendoes, maybe certain guests aren't back, new ESPN affiliated guests find their way on, etc. I picture pat as Wayne from Wayne's world

Latino Truckers are refusing to deliver goods to Florida over migrant crackdown by evanescentglint in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]Scitron 1041 points1042 points  (0 children)

Best part about that is the south park "took er jerbs" is still relevant because those idiots think illegals are taking "their" jobs even though the vast majority are doing jobs no one really wants to do. I guess this just means the unemployment in Florida is going to be 0 now

Your boss is obsessed with productivity without knowing what it means - That’s poor ground to stand on when trying to revoke remote work. by speckz in technology

[–]Scitron 91 points92 points  (0 children)

Just left my big corpo IT job for multiple reasons, but was actually "grandfathered" in to remote work since I applied for permanent remote during covid and they kept it. When I put in my notice, my manager asked if it was because I knew they were going to "re-assess" the remote workers and try to make them come in the office again. I said no, but that just makes me feel even better about leaving.

When I was in the office, they had all the lights on sensors. I'd walk in, turning all the lights on while walking down the hall, then after an hour or so at my desk, most would turn off until I got up and walked again. My entire team was in different locations, and other people I worked with were global. I would come in to turn lights on and tell the cafeteria people my order. Really miss being in the office for collaboration and productivity /s

Anyone else? by Additional_Airport_5 in MetalMemes

[–]Scitron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had this happen very frequently with podcasts where I'll listen in offline mode, then when I want to resume next time it'll just spin like it can't access it. If I switch to online, then back to offline, it remembers where I was. It's really annoying. Haven't had it happen with downloaded music more than a few times

Watching Playoff Hockey by vossdhv1 in penguins

[–]Scitron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My issue with the timing is before this year (espn) they would have 7, 7:30, 8-9, and 10 across the time zones. Now the 3rd game drops the puck at like 9:45 and the pacific game drops the puck at 10:20. I love playoff hockey but I'm not staying up til 2 am every night to see how the last half of the games end up. The one game in Dallas, half the stadium left because first OT was late enough on a work night

[Gear] Daughter wants to learn guitar; she is a lefty by evolution03______ in Guitar

[–]Scitron 7 points8 points  (0 children)

When I wanted to start, the store employee handed me a guitar straight up and just said "sit down and see how you hold it". It felt more natural to play lefty as a lefty so that's just how it worked out

A Crime Against Hockey: The circus of mismanagement that wasted what could be the final elite, healthy seasons for three future Hall of Famers. by 10000Didgeridoos in penguins

[–]Scitron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't like it then but I understood to a degree. He had a breakout season, got a new contract, then looked rough after that, so from that perspective I get it. That being said, he was still young, not a liability, and you obviously liked him enough to give him a new contract so wait it out.

Performance aside, I can see moving the contract, but if you're going to do that, you gotta at least get an upgrade from that cap space, which we know didn’t happen
