  • Disasters Like the LA Fires Always Hit the Poor the Hardest. Trump Wants to Make It Worse.

    Jump

  • A lot of rich folks lost homes during that fire, but people forget, a lot of broke ass renters also totally had all of their worldly belongings burned to the ground. And most people don’t have renter’s insurance. A lot of people and families will be forced to move, start over, and try to find affordable housing.

  • Convicted US Capitol rioter Pam Hemphill turns down Trump pardon

    Jump

  • Good on her. That said, wasn’t she sentenced in 2022 to 60 days in prison with 36 months of probation.

    Isn’t this pardon kind of irrelevant to her? She been out for a while, and I imagine it’s pretty easy to decline the pardon.

  • It kind of depends on the job and the size of the company. My father was an engineer and spent time in offices and open floors full of drawing tables. The small companies could accommodate offices, but that was too hard to pull off with larger companies.

    I remember some old offices buildings at MS where they tried to give everyone a little baby office, and it was actually pretty depressing and weird.

  • before that people had offices

    This is kind of a myth. It’s not feasible for everyone to have an office if you have a lot of people in once space. Open floor plans were what people did.

  • A lot of offices didn’t, and some still don’t, consider the design of the floor plan. You’d end up with beige cubes filling most of the floor, with no little chill spots to break out and collaborate.

    IMHO, a good floor plan has some areas for people to hide and focus, some comfortable areas to collaborate outside of a conference room, and some areas to recharge.

  • Elizabeth Warren eviscerates Pete Hegseth after he claims to suddenly support women in combat

    Jump

  • The thing that annoyed me the most about this shit was the false claim that physical fitness standards were lowered to accommodate women in combat roles. They weren’t. They remained high. Women in combat roles have to be able to do what the men did.

    The GOP is now claiming that women would be allowed in combat roles if they were held to the same standard as men. That’s always been the case.

    Fuck these assholes. They gin up fake ass stories to fire up TV audiences and voters.

  • Nonstick Cookware Industry Furious at Suggestion They Should Stop Causing Cancer

    Jump

  • You can still get vintage Wagner cast iron for a decent price on eBay or FB marketplace, but over the past 15 years people have started to catch on to what I just mentioned. So it’s not as dirt cheap as it once was.

    These days I generally know how to cook on a pitted lodge without it sticking, but smooth cast iron is more forgiving.

  • Nonstick Cookware Industry Furious at Suggestion They Should Stop Causing Cancer

    Jump

  • Used cast iron is usually better than a lot of new stuff. Back in the day, it was common for the pitted surfaces to be ground smooth.

    Now you can only get that with some “premium brands” that are willing to take a grinder to a pan before throwing it in the box.

  • Steve Bannon condemns Elon Musk as ‘racist’ and ‘truly evil’

    Jump

  • Exactly. When Bannon says that word he means “Elon’s not hiring enough white people.”
