Spider-cat, Spider-cat

Doing things where the spider's at

Spins a web, lands on feet

Catches thieves, he's really neat

Look out, here comes the Spider-cat

US, Mechanical Engineer here. It definitely depends on where you are. In a city you'll start out between 60 and 75k. Rurally, between 45 and 60k. The size of the company will also play a big role.

Also, consider that you won't really get any raises unless you move to another company. Talent retention doesn't rank as high as talent recruiting unfortunately.

When I was a kid my parents had The Best of Bill Cosby on record. I wore that vinyl out playing it over and over. I memorized the bits. I bought all the cassettes I could find. I have vague memories of Fat Albert on Saturday morning. And some movie where he played the devil. And The Cosby Show. I wanted to be Bill Cosby when I grew up.

Has any other beloved celebrity fallen as far as Cosby? I mean he was universally considered to be a genuinely nice guy. He was America's Dad.

While this is a good first step, let me know when we start applying this standard to US companies.

Arthur C. Clarke wrote a sequel to the sequel to the sequel of 2001 (called 3001) where Frank Poole is rescued a thousand years after been lost in orbit around Jupiter/Saturn. By then global warming isn't caused by carbon dioxide or methane or even water vapor. It's from 1,000+ years of waste heat generated by each human that's ever lived. Even with 100% clean energy, everything still creates heat, and it has to go somewhere.

The screen is giant. Giant isn't even the right word for it. And with stadium seating, you don't have to worry about people sitting in front of you.

It reminds me of how the movie screen seemed to me when I was 5. If I'm too close, my field-of-view won't include the edges of the screen.

Regular theater: in the center, about 1/3 back from the screen.

IMAX: in the center, very back row against the wall.

I will reserve my judgement until someone else repeats this. Too many times these types of papers end up being retracted due to mistakes or proven false later. FTL neutrinos come to mind.

I think we'll all be better off if we can keep Reddit and Meta^✱^, and Corporate Information out of the garden.

How to kill decentralized networks.

^✱^ now with legs

It's a good thing the disc is ringed with water, then walled with ice. And surrounded by a carbon-crystalline structure similar but stronger than diamond. And guarded by spiders.

Now imagine that chaos, but everyone is running their own server. There are already posts and replies that won't accept my votes.

Who's a bad actor? Liberals? Conservatives? Who gets to decide who the bad actor is?

Lemmy needs to allow Server-managers to defederate other servers due to obviously illegal material. And Lemmy needs to allow Users to block or ignore servers just due to any number of reasons. But the decision should be left to the user.

I'm 100% anti-censorship, and if a Server is going to be run that way there needs to be a way for existing users and new users to know that. And that's the problem because a lot of new users are already stressed at picking a server.
