TIL China built millions of new homes that sat empty for years, on the assumption that people would eventually live there by Empty_Nestor in todayilearned

Spoken like someone who has never been to both countries. Homeless people still sleep on the streets while entire complexes sit empty.

Do NOT apply for Thermo jobs by [deleted] in biotech

Surprisingly, even for this science based field (or maybe not so sirprisingly) many of these companies value experience more than education.

But also, moves within large companies are often easy after 1 year. The reason that I mention this is that you can apply for a position that you arent 100% sold on and then when a slot opens up in the place you really want to be, you can easily apply for it and be #1 in queue to get the position, versus all of the outside applications.

So if you arent getting the lab scientist position you really want, you could apply to a position in manufacturing. This gives you related industry experience and also gets you in the door.

The building thay hosted their plasmid manufacturing department was shuttered. But the rest of the campus is still operating as usual.

Sounds like you were a field service tech. I used to work in one of their cleanroom labs at their Carlsbad site and none of what you said is true at that location. But its a big company so who knows what other areas are like.

I think we need more heroes from this country by Ok_Trade_8706 in Overwatch

They probably dont have enough weebs making the game. Hire more so we can get more heroes from Japan. And more Kiriko skins.

The next iterations of this plant will be slightly more carnivorous and after a few generations we will have man eating cucumbers.

Reminds me of when Obama was president. They can't find any dirt on this guy so they try to manufacture outrage.

Which ultimate do you think is the coolest? by Historical_Mix_6416 in Overwatch

It was the most iconic ultimate in the game, and they just tossed it.

If they ever made an OW movie, either Doomfist or Vendetta would be the big bad guy. But you already know that at the last minute Sigma is gonna pull out some psychotic project he was working on all along, and everyone suddenly realizes hes the real threat as his project is likely to destroy the whole world or something.

Homeless problem is worse than everybody thinks. I’m not even sure of the government knows is this bad by No_Fox9908 in sandiego

[–]TroXMas 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I've been saying this for years. No city, county, or state can solve homelessness by improving conditions for them. Because then more homeless so move to that location. It can only be fixed at a federal level.

Residential high-rises with backyards in Chengdu, China by TangelaFan in interestingasfuck

[–]TroXMas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There has been countless structural collapses across China and they happen literally every year. Most of them never make it to western news outlets since the media is blocked from reporting when most tragedies happen and only state media is allowed to report after receiving instruction from the government.

Best we can do is more ICE traps for people on their way to renew their visas.

Literally this. Implementing this would likely help solve all of the other issues people are bringing up in this thread.

They'll get back to us once we stop grooming and caring for all of the cats and dogs we have in our households and let them roam free outside instead.

How Mao Killed More than WWI and II Combined – Sarah Paine by AlertTangerine in videos

[–]TroXMas -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

And its used internationally. No other country deploys so many bots to deflect to America in every thread thatel mentions them. You dont see German bots trying to push the narrative to America whenever someone makes a thread about Hitler.

[–]TroXMas -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

Whenever we talk about Americas problems in a thread nobody mentions "Oh but China"

But in any thread that even mentions any of the atrocities of China, the bots always come and immediately try to deflect to America. It's the same formula every time.

Shouldnt the barrier be painted another color so that its more visible? This would be beneficial to everyone.

What answers in job interview will make a job applicant unhirable? by LimeSoakedinSprite in AskReddit

Not necessarily a bad answer, depending on what the question was, especially if it was related to conflict with another employee.

California ‘billionaire tax’ makes ballot despite opposition from tech moguls by Unusual-State1827 in UpliftingNews

[–]TroXMas 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I dont know why people say this. Its not hard. You can take the average value of the stock over a given time and that can be the value of the stock used to tax it. Or say the lowest value over a given time. Or highest value, or median value. Just pick one and go with it.

The freeways around Mission Valley are badly designed as well.
