Civ… 4?

Surveying can be some worthwhile science gigwork.

Years ago I did some work with a research institute that was counting shellfish populations that was almost exactly this. A few weeks for a few summers hiking tidal zones. Most of the crews were college students, but not as interns or as a part of any programs. Some were just locals looking for some work.

I just don’t think a lot of that work is advertised outside colleges.

Sounds like they’ve been contacted by their local solid waste department who was lazy about how most sanitary codes don’t define garbage in a trailer as solid waste.

It’s one of the dumber and common loopholes, but a health department with resources (legal and political) would actually require progress at eliminating the garbage since the loophole is based on staging waste for removal.

States and local juridiction vary wildly.

I miss when being an audiophile was just using vintage equipment and/or opting for lossless formats over compressed mp3s.

I have seen those Breaking Bad arguments before too, and I am more inclined accept that sentiment there.

Misogyny is a massive problem on reddit

Yeah but this is Lemmy. There’s far more overlap between ‘sausage party’ and ‘women’ here than most other social media can even handle.

And like, I never watched GoT nor read the books but still caught the reference. So this doesn’t feel like a form of arcane misogyny.

Why yes I do drive a Nissan.

The decision to keep the ring on. Nice.

It got him celebrity. That opens doors in ways money doesn’t.

This was sort of the argument for it before the ACA.

Medicare for All was the compromise against a national healthcare system, just like the idea of a public option was a compromise with the Medicare for All compromise.

The ACA, without a public option, and initially a tax penalty for being uninsured is what we got.

Baguette supremacy.

That Mad Mage just isn’t making sense!

It’s like a purposeful troll on a group with a persistent completionist mentality.

When (if) they catch on the DM can help expedite their routing.

Hryhoriv kinda poisoned the well for any vestige of the ataman system to have survived revolution.

The communism-anarchism conflict often resembles the divide between urban and rural society.

It isn’t insurmountable.

A deep comment thread without a single intentional misquote and ‘so you hate pancakes’ tactic. Love to see it.

Gotta respect the cern.

Sadly this fake Toilet Paper USA type stuff tends to provide cover for the heinous shit they actually say, while simultaneously obscuring the crazy things they do with the absurdity.

Twenty years or so ago I’d give MS credit for helping spawn a global PC hardware industry by standardizing an OS platform. I figured not just the Nvidias and Intels but the Dells, the EVGAs, and the MSIs all were a net positive and supported by there being a windows.

This was because I always compared them to Apple.

So much more now I understand the folly of being limited to comparing the bad choices and ignoring the good options.

Yeah, considering the ‘downvote all .ml’ mentality that exists.

You know… I am genuinely curious how many of the votes here are purely a response to cyrillic text.
