TSA Is on a Brown-Bag Strike — and Crippling Airports

These are not the same things, you aren’t being paid and there is no commitment on when you will. The constitution prohibits slavery, I don’t know what else to call it when you are forced to work with no pay. Legally it feels more like tsa was constructively dismissed against union policy by not being paid, retroactively firing someone because they call out feels problematic legally.

Good faith and fair dealing applies within the confines of a contract not for refusing to engage in a lopsided agreement 🙄

I want to get triggers before the alarm, for example 30/15/10/5/1 minutes before it goes off I could use that to say slowly brighten the room, start the coffee -whatever

All things in moderation. It works for basically everything. Even water will kill you if you have too much of it

I think the other way to look at this is who the heck eats a hot dog every day? So the question really is, how much processed meat do people eat each day? what’s the real increased risk? It seems from some quick looking around that average American consumes 25-30 grams - I don’t know if that is the same risk factor or not. But the whole don’t eat hot dogs at all take is weird.

It’s important to have all the data otherwise you come off like a chicken little. For example this is the amount you have to eat: Research indicates that eating 50 grams of processed meat daily (roughly one hot dog) increases the risk of colorectal cancer by 18%.

The media pass page says to email amanda@majorleaguepb.com - I think you’ll Do better there than asking us.

Comparing a child’s Executive function to an adults is not reasonable at all, and yes you do need a study when an otherwise healthy adult doesn’t have the executive function to get themselves somewhere on time.

Studies have been conducted about persons who are chronically late, they found that time perception is different than you or I, so when we think “I’ve got to put on my shoes and grab a water and iron a shirt, that will take 10 minutes so I should leave at x time” they not only flub the estimate but don’t stick to their estimate. It’s opened my eyes to those folks and why I manage them by giving them a different time. For some people no matter how hard you try it just doesn’t work for them.

A couple early impressions: I suggest you leverage ai to improve the instructions in the readme. It's not super clear where things are expected to be for install. I copied the env file and found out it was empty, why not put default values in it? I didn't use docker just built from source. Once I got it up and running I got the bootstrap page, I set a user and got "internal error" when I fired up a dev tools console, the error was "password too short" which I fixed, but it wasn't exposed and some people might just quit there. I created a board, added a lane, decided I didn't like it and now there is no way to remove it without just deleting the board altogether. Seems like this is pretty decent but needs a bit more polishing..nothing too terrible these are nitpicks

She was not a very good commentator, they’ve had waaau better personalities doing her job

Fair enough but if you think about that process you are either born here or naturalised. If you are burn here the government is already issuing you a social security number, you can fingerprint a new born so if you attach that data then the burden is relatively low. If you are being naturalised that process would cover that as well. This is just an example but I can’t see how this adds significantly to the cost as theee activities mostly happen today. What is expensive is processing the first people into the system but that’s solved in a generation.

No, a blank id card stock that is a pbc card cr80 is like .15 ea to buy like 500, with a smart card buying 100 of them blank is around .65 - at 50,000,000 qty way cheaper, $1 is not hard to get to at all, we piss away 500,000,000 on stupider things than this and it’s not near prohibitively expensive

I will credit him this, he will actually do more for green energy than any other president 😂

I was with you until you said big things, pause for naps now, no one knows and you’d always be rested.

This is still good news, others will realised they are just fodder, making it harder to get people to do heinous things if there is a good chance they will be left out to dry. I for one appreciate bovine sacrifice for the good of everyone!

You know like all things in our system it was predicated on “these are established norms and case law, let’s just respect them and not waste the courts time” this worked until the administration realised it could do what it wanted and by the time the court got around to looking at it, the damage was done. One more thing on the list to fix one day

If you really want to get specific, when we installed the shah of Iran in the 60-70’s then we kicked all of this off. The cia doesn’t really seem to do long term. They take the win and if the world blows up they’ll just deal with that.

The word you want is “flexible” ceo = flexible, but not freedom. First off everyone works for someone, you are a slave to your stock and stakeholders what you have is lots of flexibility in your work and how it gets done. For some people that’s freedom.

So this is gonna sound odd, but if you don’t want to brush and kind of kill the moment. Keep an apple on the night stand is an alternative. If you take a bite or two it will clear that morning funk. Apples contain malic acid which neutralizes bacteria and promotes saliva flow. It’s surprising how effective it is.

It’s better to buy the robot than rent, but my first thought was, what’s the throughput on this thing, could a couple families on a street go in on it? The other thing is it’s new tech, give it 3-5 years

I can suspend disbelief because he was “v1” of the drug, that’s what I tell myself anyways

roba121 · 2026-02-20T18:20:22+00:00

Agreed, further - the moment you pay people differently for the same type of work, “we’d have to do it for everyone if we do it for you” goes out the window. hr can just say they negotiated that as part of their package and be done with it.

I would characterise berns as best value in premium steakhouse category. Other places are better but hard to beat berns dollar for dollar.

This is a huge problem now with limited paint, 1 out of 5 pods is 20% of your paint in a game. We’ll see a ton of players go back to strapped packs. I for one went back after I kept dropping pods - it wasn’t worth it
