I think your best bet is to find a new employer. Definitely keep CYA documents as needed in the meantime, though.

The concept of Watt-hours was messing me up. I think I get it now.

• Energy is the potential to do some work, measured in Joules.
• Power is the rate at which work is done and is measured in Joules per seconds, i.e., Watts.
• If you want to know how much energy something “uses”, multiply it’s power by how long it has been running.
  • e.g., something with a power of 100 J/s (i.e., 100 Watts) running for 10 s will use 1,000 Joules of energy.
• For household use, Joules is not a very convenient unit, so we use Watt-hours (W•h) or kW•h, which is the number of Watts an appliance uses times the number of hours it runs. Watt-hours and Joules are both units of energy.
  • Watt-hours is not Watts-per-hour, i.e., it is not a rate. It means Watts-times-hours. If we break it down, we can convert back to Joules: W•h = (3600s•J) / s = 3600J.

I hope I summarized it properly and didn’t make any math mistakes!

Definitely this. Lemmy isn’t that big, so it pays to browse all. Just block any topic you don’t like. I had to block a lot of furry and meme communities because they don’t interest me.

• Jeffrey Goldberg DO NOT ADD!!!

I came across a couple definitions (e.g., https://www.thefreedictionary.com/lynch) that didn’t necessarily include killing, however after looking at a few more dictionaries in the top of the search result, the general consensus is that it includes killing.

It can mean mean any sort of extra-judicial punishment. I agree it’s not the best choice of words, but context makes it pretty clear that he was not killed.

Roads.

Should have smacked him, but still nice to see.

I gave up on the algorithm years ago and only use the subscription feed now.

I was just joking and thinking much more apopalytic than that.

Completely destroying space and satellite communication might actually be for the best… maybe.

In North America we can’t even get signal lights to not look different than break lights. I hope Europe has better luck.

Edit: that sounds like an awesome idea

Yes, I mentioned it three comments ago. I thought you might read it.

Nor free speech. That was supposed to be my retort, not yours.

Like abortion has already been ruled on, right.

Based on the text of the first amendment, it seems like a slam dunk to me to destroy free speech as long as it’s not Congress doing it.

If we’re talking first amendment, it allows for a lot.

One is illegal, the other is not.

I would hope that gross negligence and incompetence with come with severe consequences.

Any smart TV. Please just let me have a TV without having to navigate spyware or the sluggish UIs.

It’s nice to be on even terms.
