Is helium used in deodorants these days?
Is helium used in deodorants these days?
It’s surprising an experienced deep sea explorer would go along on something like this.
When I first read about it, it took me less than 5 minutes to discover many, many reasons it was a bad idea.
Wow, I hadn’t thought it through like that, but yea, you’re right.
Hahahaha, I love it
That’s why you practice this stuff. It’s the only way to make sure you won’t slip under pressure.
It’s what I had to do - just make it a natural response. “I’m not well, I won’t be in”. Just keep repeating it, regardless of how many times you’re asked why.
Every large company I’ve worked for (since the mid 90’s) never swept this stuff under the rug - quite the opposite, actually. I’ve seen people with all sorts of issues being accommodated.
Practically every team I’ve been on had at least one person with some kind of issue. We all knew, and adjusted. Once in a while you get an asshole teammate or manager…those quickly get a reputation and people avoid working with them.
Companies are painfully aware of risk.
Shit, I’d be calling a lawyer just to put a scare into that boss. Fucking douchebag.
“I’m not well today, I can’t work, that’s all you fucking need to know”.
I’ve never had a boss even ask why. Frankly, he should know better…what he doesn’t know he can’t be liable for. Dumbass. Plus who has the time to worry about why? Does it change anything? No.
Very interesting, but I don’t see how replacing the same volume of air in our lungs with helium doesn’t make you lighter. It’s the same volume, so the volume displacement zeroes out in any equation - I think that poster may mean as compared to empty lungs. Even then I think they’re mistaken - otherwise a blimp/balloon wouldn’t work, as it too is displacing air around itself, and increasing in volume.
I think your closing statement contradicts your earlier statement about weighing less (though I get the point you’re trying to make about mass).
Do we consider weight a sum of all interactions in a given place (including atmosphere)? I’d say we do, since our atmosphere accounts for a notable portion of our weight, and I’ve never seen a scale with a negative tare to account for atmospheric weight.
The difference is even this pittance of a fine wouldn’t happen in a planned economy - it would be like the planners fining themselves.
What we’re seeing here is a result of the amoral “beastly” types concentrating power. What you’re suggesting is to intentionally concentrate that power from the start.
Facebook is a great example of democracy - the billions of people using it have effectively (in their voluntary ignorance) voted for it to be like this. These are the same people who would vote for policies in a pure democracy.
And you’re ignoring what happens in the SMB space, where people aren’t part of the corrupt circle.
You’re welcome to start a small community anywhere in the US with a planned economy, as proof of concept.
You could call it… A commune, to indicate its goals.
I’d not heard of OST, so just read an article summary and realized I’d discovered I needed a “distractor” to get school work done when I was about 10 years old. I had no idea it was understood since the 50’s at least.
Wow.
If it’s worth keeping, it’s worth backing up (kinda obvious in hindsite, haha).
Yea, I had the same mindset as you until I lost a bunch of music when a RAID array puked.
Now I have 3 local copies and an online backup.
I like your use of “sufficiently unplugged”, as we’re all plugged in, to varying degrees.
I wonder if the first of these clubs was a femur from an animal.
Even the ones built before can have some bullshit. But I’m with you.
Had to replace a totalled, paid off car in 2019…best value was a 2016. Fortunately (to quote Monty Python) “it’s not got much spam in it!”. It already has a couple minor glitches with the “cool” features, like the stupid keyless system.
I will happily pay thousands to fix what’s wrong on my early 2000’s vehicle, just so I don’t have to get all that BS.
Hahaha, oh boy, that’s rich!
Another ATT/VMware type fight.
Why the hell would I want to:
Use that garbage called discord
Use corporate spyware like shitcord?
Give all this local gossip detail a place online
Let alone in spyware garbage like shitcord?
Did I forget to mention what utter shit discord is?
Have you never used NextDoor? Ffs, people are such gossipy ignoramuses on an app like that, why would I bother?
Depends on who your dear is 😁
