Any company that issues its employees credit cards with six figure limits will have no issue reversing the charges trying to sue Google.

Wrong community. This is just /c/infuriating.

That begs a larger conversation about what is and isn’t ok to say informally at work.

Certainly “wheelchair” is not itself malicious and is less likely to be mistake prone than Seat 34a, especially if there’s only one patron in the room seated in a wheelchair. At the same time, the affected person might not enjoy being referred to by their disability.

I’m honestly not sure what the best solution is. Certainly, “red sweater” is less likely to cause offense than “black dude,” and 99% of the time these won’t be customer facing. I’m torn on whether the mistake was purely in writing it in the wrong location vs. whether the company as a whole should do better.

I know in the corporate world you typically don’t write down anything you don’t want read back to you later, and the fact that they realize the patron could be offended suggests that maybe they should adopt a similar policy of “never write down anything you wouldn’t want a customer to see.” At the same time, I’m aware most restaurants are not corporate culture and aren’t trying to be.

That’s just standard hub and spoke shipping.

The extended look will also be available at 9pm ET on YouTube, but for six hours, it will essentially be paywalled behind a Netflix subscription.

Um… ok

1. Who cares? It’s a trailer.
2. Most of the people complaining probably already have a Netflix subscription
3. It’s 6 hours after you’ve already waited 4 years, chill out
4. Someone’s going to rip it after 10 minutes away
5. Vice City was the most fun, SA broke your childhood, IV had the best story, V had heists. There’s no way VI is going to top all those, we’ll be lucky if it makes top 3.

Yes, I’m an actual practicing family physician. The vaccines are known to be both safe and effective. They reduce the chances of you getting COVID, they reduce the chance that you’ll spread it, and they reduce the chances of hospitalization and death from COVID-19. I get them and I recommend them to my patients.

So I’m actually a doctor and this is just wrong. The vaccine was developed properly built on decades of research and produced quickly with appropriate funding. Though I detest Trump, signing off on Operation Warp Speed was an actual sensible thing he did during his first term.

Your comparison to the polio vaccine is interesting because you’re clearly not aware of the Cutter incident or that OPV causes polio in a small percentage of recipients. By comparison, the COVID-19 vaccines had a much smoother rollout and cannot actually cause COVID-19.

So you’re saying the Chinese government released a virus so that vaccines could be released by:

• A German company
• A British-Swedish company
• A Chinese government owned company
• Three different US companies
• A Dutch biotech subsidiary of a Belgian subsidiary of a US company
• An Indian company
• A private Chinese company
• A French company
• The Russian government
• The Cuban government
• An Iranian company

So their goal was to release a virus so they could be one of many countries to develop a cure, with most of the cures being made by private companies in countries that are their enemies? And what was the goal of this? So they could say, “Look, we are one of several countries to make the same cure?”

It is clear you are unable to answer the question that is central to your conspiracy theory.

Also, despite your claims elsewhere in your thread, you have accidentally revealed here that you are indeed JAQing off.

No, your comment is stupid. 16,000 is a big number. 0.00000001 is a small number.

Now that we’ve established that some numbers are smaller than others: namely, that 22.1 million is smaller than 8 billion, 16,000 is smaller than 22.1 million, and 0.00000001 is smaller than 22.1 million, will you quit stalling and answer the question?

The more you dodge it, the more you prove that you have no answer. And without an answer, your entire conspiracy theory falls apart.

So I’ll ask one more time: Why would a government release this specific virus?

Was it because they had gone diamond hands in Zoom stock calls and needed to cash out? We’re all waiting.

Yes, I think 0.28% of the world’s population is small. You still haven’t answered the question. Why, Ted? Why?

To do what, exactly?

“Boss, I came up with a brilliant plan! We’re going to release a virus that mildly inconveniences a lot of people! It’ll clog hospitals in random parts of the world for a couple weeks at a time, kill a small percentage of people, and maybe even strand a single cruise ship! We’ll of course have no control over where it goes or how it mutates, and there will probably be an effective vaccine within a year.”

“Ok, Ted, that certainly sounds like a thing we could do, but FUCKING WHY?”

If you’re going to come up with a big scary government story, you need to include the part where the big scary government had an actual plan.

I already know the response: “I’m not saying this is actually the case. I’m just thinking it, out loud, in your general direction. And yeah, l totally believe it and I literally did just say it, but I also just said I didn’t say it so if anyone points out the obvious I can try to save face, mmk?”

No. It’s pretty much concluded to have crossed to humans in a wet market.

Well this article is about 15 years late.

Why not cheap SSD for OS and then 1-2 TB HDD for storage?

$300? I found a bunch on Amazon just now for under $30.

What’s stopping you so far?
