  • Reminds me of a time several years ago when I went to pick up the kid from a new day care. I walked up to the desk and said “hi, I’m here to pick up a kid” and the woman behind the counter said “no problem, what’s the kids name?”. Her face went pale and she panicked when I responded “it doesn’t matter, I’m not picky”…




  • See cable management is great when done correctly. At my job we had a audit complaint that there were too many wires on the ground which would make it difficult to clean under them. Management told all the techs to do cable management so the wires were not dangling. The techs did as told so now we keep getting wires failing because they are super tight and strained. No one mentioned a service loop or anything of the sort. In addition now it takes like 2 hours to replace the bad wire because you have to undo all the wire management, replace the wire and redo all 400 Ip ties.






  • I agree with “if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear” that said before I get beheaded by lemmy… No on has nothing they don’t want public. Maybe you drink too much, maybe you’re pregnant, maybe you are in debt, maybe you have a ex lover you are try to keep away from. Everyone has something to hid but most governments don’t give a shit (corporations may but that’s a different topic).

    That said if a key to a door exists it will be made public. They reason why keys work is there is 10000+ of them. Odds are the keys to my apartment aren’t identical to yours. That said if a universal key was made the idea of locking your doors is irreverent. Because eventually that key will be public, you boss may see your apartment, your mother may, your ex girlfriend may etc.

    This like tell lock makers to make a universal key that will open any locked door. Yes it may help investigators if they have a suspicion of who did it(and are willing to break the 4th amendment) but who else may it help?





  • Atleast on America that is by law if publicly traded. Let’s say a company discovers something that amazing, say cure for cancer and decides they are going to give it out for free for the benefit of mankind. They can be sued and will likely lose. Only real defense would be they thought the goodwill from giving away for free would earn the shareholders more money through goodwill towards the company. A smaller scale version of this would be like a farm raising animals in non-optimal conditions (for profit but nicer to the animals like free-range instead of cages). They could argue the customers will be willing to pay a premium for that.

    If not publicly traded they can do whatever they want. If governmental they should have a goal or mission statement that states what their intent is(usually it’s not profit) but if it’s publically traded legally their only motive is profit to the shareholders.






  • Not me but a former Co worker was bitten by something unknown. He went out fishing, I don’t know if alcohol was included but I wouldn’t be surprised. He got home and noticed two puncture wounds on the back of his leg. Over the next few days his leg really hurt, he went to the doctor was basically told it’s just a little inflamed here’s some ibuprofen.

    Another week goes by still in pain so he goes back. Might be a mild infection heres some antibiotics.

    A few days go by and pain is getting worse. He goes to hospital. The check him out, he is going into sepsis and his kidneys and liver are shutting down. They put him in a medical induced coma. Once they stabilize him they run more tests, they find stage 4 lung cancer. They send him to some cancer hospital in Kentucky. He arrives late at night(still in coma). They put him in a room. They check on him the next morning and he is dead.
