That would require their self driving algorithm to actually detect an accident. I doubt it's capable of doing so consistently.

I just started listening to this thanks to your comment and it does not disappoint, even if it's not terribly surprising so far.

And Alamo Car Rental!

Bingo. What's more insufferable than a person whose life revolves around lauding their own achievements? A room full of them.

A neck fan works wonders too.

I've been unemployed the last six months so I've been on that hellhole daily, looking for openings. You're right, it's definitely more political now than in January.

The Onion is half the reason I'm still sane.

These people didn't support Trump out of a selfless desire, out of altruism, out of a sense of love and patriotism for their country. They did it to benefit themselves.

She just described the entire Trump administration. No thoughts, empty head.

Also, when the talks, her mouth moves and her eyes blink but the rest of her face does not move and it's freaking me out.

Not trying to be that guy, but it's urea, which breaks down to ammonia due to microbial action once it's out of the cat. If a cat is pissing ammonia, it has big problems and needs to see a vet.

Other contributors to awful cat piss smell are mercaptans, the same compounds responsible for the scent of skunk spray, and pheromones and fatty acids released when the cat is spraying versus normal urination. It's all compounded by cats being adapted for arid environments so their urine is much more concentrated than human urine.

I love cats but they're gross little fuckers sometimes.

Wow, you're completely right and I never recognized this before. I'm your quintessential cat person. I've lived with cats since the day I was born. They cuddled with me in my crib. My first word was cat. We joked that I was raised by cats. I'm just used to cats and don't often think about their behavior.

My partner is a dog person, so now we have a mixed family. When the dogs cross a boundary, we do something to correct their behavior and there is the expectation their behavior will change. If it doesn't, we adjust our response until it does. When cats cross a boundary, we still do something to correct the behavior, but entirely expect the cat will continue doing it and respond no differently when they continue with the original behavior.

Hi everyone, I know this isn't 100% on topic but this seemed like the closest fit. You all tend to be more generally knowledgeable than the average Lemming. Feel free to remove if it's too off topic.

In the last few years, I watched what I believe was a YouTube video on South Korean misinformation about North Korea. It discussed defectors, the conditioning they receive after defecting, and celebrity defectors. I recall it also interviewed some North Koreans living in South Korea.

Does anyone know the video I'm thinking of?

 

I couldn't find a more appropriate place to post this. It's a bar in Reykjavik. Cool place, would recommend.

 

Seriously people, use the fucking fan. It clears away odors and covers up the sounds of your dropping a deuce. If you want to stew in your shit smell and revel in the music of your magical poop plops, do so in the comfort of your own home. If you're a guest and the bathroom has a fan, turn it on. We don't want to share.

Sorry friends, that's at-will employment, *and you still can't be terminated for any reasons that are protected by law, but we're not here to discuss that. Right-to-work laws mean one thing: that non-union employees cannot be required to contribute to the cost of union representation.

The Taft-Hartley Act of 1947 prohibits "closed shops", where union membership is a condition of employment; however, union represented positions can still be required to contribute to the cost of that representation. Right-to-work laws prohibit that requirement, allowing employees in union represented positions who choose not to join the union to also choose whether or not they contribute to the union's costs, i.e., if they pay dues or not.

I see this mistake frequently and thought folks might want to know the correct information so they don't unintentionally perpetuate it.

Edit: updated to include link to info about at-will employment.

Halp! Calibrating touchscreen on Panasonic CF-30

Hey all! I've been having an issue I can't figure out. Suddenly, I realized I'm in the heart of Linux users! I can ask here! I'm a total noob, so please be gentle.

I installed Xubuntu and got everything but the touchscreen working properly. The touchscreen works but the cursor is consistently off a bit, with the least error in the center of the screen and increasing as it moves to the sides. I've tried running xinput_calibrator but it doesn't help. I attempted to run libinput.calibrate-touchscreen but keep getting a "is a Wayland compositor running?" error message.

Any suggestions?
