It cites the 2010 All-Russian Population Census by the Federal State Statistics Service directly, so yes. In this case I don’t have any reason not to, since its from the Russian government to begin with.

Damn, I know these are sparsely populated areas, but: 2010 Census population: Five.

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.


Yes, but the beauty of it is that it plugs in Steam immediately. If you’re installing it on a machine that uses Steam and sometimes browses it is a one-stop shop.
I offloaded Windows 10 entirely, installed bazzite, and played Hollow Knight and the entire Dark Souls trilogy from the same installation on the same harddrive I’d had them on Windows. Didnt even need to reinstall.
To me that’s impressive. I only had a few crashes overall too.
Two sets of lids were swapped. Those lids can be pretty heavy. Whats inside them usually are valves for plumbing.
So after the 100th set of valves you’ve backflow tested that day and you’re resetting the lids in 100F+ degree heat and you turn around as you’re walking away with your gear that you swapped two lids?
Well, having done this work at two different times in my life: the size of paycheck matters decidedly on whether that’s getting fixed.


I spent chunks of 2023 and 2024 investigating and testing image gen models after a cryptobro coworker kept talking about it.
I rigged up an old system and ran it locally to see wtf these things are doing. Honestly producing slop at 5 seconds per image v 5 minutes is meaningless in terms of value if 0% of the slop can be salvaged. And still, a human has to figure out what to so with the best candidates.
In fact at a certain speed it begins to work against itself as no one can realistically analyze AI gen output as fast as it is produced.
Conclusion: AI is mostly worthless. It just forces you to accept that human effort is the only thing with intrinsic value. And it’s as tough to get out of AI as it is to put any in.
And that’s looking past all the other gargantuan problems with AI models.


See your brain went immediately to a solution based on knowing how something works. That’s not in the AI wheelhouse.


He can definitely be the face of the right. Let Asmongold be what people think of when someone airs those kinds of opinions.
I get what you mean, and it’s a common thought and strategy. It just doesn’t work as well as one might think. Unless there is a union, employees are at a significant disadvantage. Forming a union would be FAR more effective than quoting OSHA regs.
The main thing is regulatory violations aren’t (usually) criminal so there’s a long administrative process to most enforcement actions. Companies overwhelmingly have the resources to litigate beyond their employees means. So if they have the resources to have legal council or a compliance officer, there likely needs to be a well documented paper trail of concealment or otherwise flagrant disregard or denial of improved conditions.
There not being A/C isn’t enough. Refusing requests to install A/C is better. The company removing workers fans to make a point goes further in a case. Then putting out an internal memo requiring zero ventilation and to lie to investigators is a strong case.
The fear of god isn’t enforceable. The main thing you do in referencing OSHA is to demonstrate a level of knowledge, commitment, or at least interest in the issue. And most of the time it is the appearance of concealing a condition that is the enforced violation. This is usually what companies are actually sensitive to.
So while an OSHA violation is a serious thing, the conditions in question here (heat) are not a regulation that can be violated and therefore enforced in the same way.
Yep, and precisely why there is the need to develop an argument in defining ‘reasonable’ instead of just citing the applicable law or regulation. The OSHA recommendation provides a less arbitrary foundation for defining a reasonable temperature.
The OSHA recommendation is 68-76F, which isn’t a direct link to ‘reasonable’ but provides a suitable context to frame workplace conditions.
If people’s body temperatures can be measured exceeding 100F a link to heat stress and increasing risk of injury in the workplace can also be drawn as it’s generally the equivalent of working with a fever.


I really hate that this is some of the toughest public language I have seen about Israel from an American official.


The Saudis are separately at war in Yemen and against the Houthis and have been since I think 2015.
The Houthis have just endured a decade of fighting a US backed coalition, which isbwhy they’ve become increasingly capable of expanding their operations to interfere with shipping lanes unrelated to their direct civil war.
MIC knows it must sustain war and conflict and will always play all sides to keep the orpham crushing machine going.
If it stops, or even threatens to slow, well… stonks go down faster than any tarriff effect.


The status quo, indeed.


When the first major migration from reddit happened and people didn’t yet know about mod logs there was a whole lot of blatant misrepresentation of what was or wasn’t said that got someone banned by an instance. A lot of hastily deleted comments and accounts as well. So tales of tankie moderation are usually in need of a hefty grain of salt.


Mainstream coverage seems to have been trying to tell everyone everywhere not to believe their lying eyes.
Some appear to have modified their reporting to actually say it was a Nazi salute however, ostensibly under pressure.


Only if it is a 2 pack of 1kg containers. I know costco does that often so I imagine walmart might too. (And if that 2-for-12 runs you a total of 4 kg.)


My utility company spams me with warnings to reduce consumption to save them money in surge events while also shaming people for being in the top 40th percentile of consumption because they’ve got all these empty houses not using power to compare to.
Likewise. This is my only reoccurring issue I have had since switching, and it isn’t consistent enough to really be a problem.
I do notice that after sleep mode when things work fine I’ll get a notification my displays are detected. So I assume display detection is switched off during sleep mode, and maybe not always turning back on.
