There is a formula that suggested “living X minutes closer to work is worth Y dollars more on the purchase price” because the commute time saved and the health benefits of reduced stress were far worth the added cost – and it may be like $5k on the mortgage per 1 minute saved. And if the commute dropped to a <= 30min walking commute, the benefits skyrocketed.

You better believe a walking commute factors into planning subway stations.

working from home.

I’m pleased to have switched to a union job that protects my safety and respects my time, by allowing 100% remote work as available – that’s to allow for people to work from the office, but to promote a remote-first approach. The specific wording in the contract is as convoluted as anticipated, but the summary is they have a minimal number of ‘hotel’ (hot-desk) spots in an actual office, but the spaces they sold back during covid they do not intend to request again.

(For the poor managers more validated by seeing my ass in a chair every day, I say “get help, my ass isn’t appealing” and I also mention my day job deals with some pretty private shit, and an actual home office is a straight-forward to certify for ergo and data privacy; but the manager has to want it. And that’s how I can spot the fucking pervs)

1. massively over-supply options better than cars
2. people avoid car hassle
3. shrink lanes
4. repeat

But that first step is the killer: I found in my own experience that my transit commute had a maximum bus tolerance of 15-30 minutes (based on traffic) or I’d just not do it. I can ride a train for an hour, but have me sit in traffic on a bus and it’s “fuck no”.

Ah, so a correlation/causation comprehension conundrum affects both your comments on this page. That’s some good coverage, Lou.

Nah. These aren’t the racist xenophobes. The next guys, if they win, those are the true bigots. Expect everything about immigration to suck.

genera

Are you trying to write ‘genre’?

You’re gonna want a cat-scan.

no agency or are uniformly of one mindset, protecting the company at all costs

One comment is anecdotal. A million is a statistic.

If you’re suggesting different, then I’d point you to the word ‘exception’, and also suggest that HR has an image problem deeply rooted in a conflict of interest that it needs to solve. And if it wants to support the workers it will need to be funded by the workers to remove that conflict, and once it supports and is supported by the workers in a group, it’s a union.

Please don’t use Mirriam-webster as an English source. Noah was on a tear to re-make English when he created American. And it’s as american as a hot-dog eating contest – but in as much as dictionaries only tell you what’s popular and only accidentally say what’s right, this one is the farthest from canon outside of one country. I’m surprised there’s still a ‘u’ in ‘source’; or a ‘c’, for that matter.

They are being paid by the company

I overlooked this part. That’s where the conflict of humanity comes in.

As expected, it’s now called Resources. They stopped treating us as resource that are human, and now just resources.

a hoe

A garden tool? Or just bad spelling?

Realtors.

I don’t know of a job more pointless. And I worked (reception) at a realty office and still didn’t see the value.

You may not understand this, but humans are selfish and immoral and need rules. without all those jobs you mentioned, the rules are meaningless.

So the cases should go through the system quicker. They need to Amazon in a new copy and start their community service doing maintenance work.

Poor kid. Basically plain-looking hand-me-down clothes and the unmitigated scorn of the ‘it’ crowd.

Bot?

If it’s only GNU Linux - and not regular Linux - then we know it’s not the Linux where the issue occurs. ;-)

(Just analyzing what’s said. It’s probably all linuxes if it’s not a glibc issue)

It won’t effect the core.

You sure that’s the right effect/affect? Left behind?
