I vouched for this comment because even though it's phrased kinda aggressively, it's also not wrong. Best case scenario it shows a profound lack of social awareness and competence in interpersonal dynamics. Probably something for him to work on.

Yeah ok, I wasn't complaining about that stuff. Literally he could have just ignored it or fixed it (the actions people normally take) and nobody would have cared either way.

Man stop trying to get other people to fix your blog. The whole world isn't your editor.

In my experience it's always coworkers on the lower end of the bell curve getting pissy. Nobody likes to be told he's just worth less.

And tbh I don't like salary transparency because it usually tightens the range of comp for a position. I've always been on the right side of the curve (getting promoted faster etc) so that would suck for me.

I think he's talking about runn where the compensation honestly looks terrible: $43k as a junior and under $80k as a senior. I wonder if the goal of transparency there isn't to avoid wasting time with the majority of people who won't put up with a salary that low.

Seriously dude? Nobody's making a PR to fix your typo on your site.

And not trying to get too personal but this may be hinting at why so many of your jobs are incredibly short tenure.

I don't understand how this bigoted person (madeofpalk) thinks that agephobia is acceptable. Why does anyone feel the need to continue perpetuating hatred against PoA?

The polite term is People of Age or PoA for short. I appreciate your caring enough to ask!

The name's a play on the "I Fucking Love Science" thing that was part of the big pop science boom.

That's not how vegetable oils gum, they go sticky in a way that's not like grease. Hard to explain but if you feel them both there's a huge difference. Grease will stick but isn't stick-y in the same way if that makes sense.

Tbh I wouldn't worry much about toxicity compared to the shit in GSR. Anecdotally I've never tried it but some people have tried something vegetable and it went sticky anyway. Cleaning guns regularly is enough of a pain in the ass already without maybe having to before going out shooting. I'd also never use it in a CCW or something ready for home defense because of that risk.

To my knowledge it can absorb a little through the skin but not through the intestines though more than a little will give you the shits real bad.

We'll probably get some solid observational data, due to the rise of vaping, but that will take a few years.

This does not jibe with my experiences or anybody I know's experiences, I think it needs more development. I've had friends who used vegetable oils then they dried out or worse turned rancid and gummed stuff up. Especially bad if a tool is left for a while, or in a hot place, though I guess this is not so much a problem in Europe. This doesn't seem like a significant enough problem to justify that anyway, "thousands of gallons" across a continent is not actually that much.

Then we start jailbreaking them to use as free modems and cost people who make that huge amounts of money, then they will stop.

Often people end up waiting for an outlet to cover it and write a news story on that interesting information. So technically then it's not "editorializing". I just don't know that it's better to do that, and sometimes the link gets changed to the actual source anyway. Maybe "Tell HN" should get more common for these?

You're downvoted but i could legit see a scenario where it refused to take you certain places if there was a lockdown order. Since some countries are leaving those in place for people not vaccinated, its possible.

Broken seat belt will not stop cars from running. Nanny state argument I think still applies to seat belt for an individual person, just requiring that kids wear them is okay though. When did we decide government got to stop ppl from doing stupid shit?
stopagephobia

Not true. Maybe you are a foreigner? It is worth explaining how we see cars. Ever since especially 40s and later they represent the ability for any person to go wherever desired without conforming to somebody else's schedule. We see them as "freedom on four wheels" and will work to keep them that way even if you think they shouldn't be.

Meh, prohbiition dont work, we tried it. We cant even keep kids from drinking. Theres already a cultural shift away from as much heavy drinking, a lot more of the young people I know dont drink at all or drink only a bit and are more accepting of people who don't drink.

Also how would you prevent other bars from selling to people without a centralized database.
