Obamacare requires employers to pay for healthcare if you work more than 25 hours (of course, some businesses like McDonald's have an exemption, anyway). Anon is claiming his employer is intentionally cutting hours to avoid healthcare costs. I have no idea whether it's actually very common or not.

When I lived in England, I felt like I was going to freeze if it got colder than 17°C, usually had the heat set to 19°C. During the summer, probably around 22-24°C.

I now live in Phoenix, AZ, and set it at about 65°F in winter and 74°F in summer.

I always remove the stick once I've eaten down to the stick. So for me, at least half the corn dog is always eaten with my hands.

I get your point is to have a neutral 3rd party help oversee the elections, but having the UN do it would be one of the fastest ways to spark a civil war. A lot of Trump supporters very much believe the UN is one of the key players trying to bring the new world order.

For actually displaying dates to others, I agree that spelling out the month is absolutely preferred. But if space is limited, you're somewhat required to pick a very shortened format, and the US version is dumb, even if that's what you should use when displaying in that locale.

But for working with dates on computers, year-month-day works great, because it's still human readable, is naturally sortable, and makes it easier for serialization.

The first one is conventionally never year-day-month, and if anyone ever sent me a date of 2023-17-08, I would respond with, "What the hell?! Are you being evil on purpose?"

I was just thinking about this more, and what if Google decides to implement this on Google maps? Am I going to have to put a message up saying something like, "sorry, you can't view our outage map unless you use a browser that supports web integrity"?

Because you're right, convincing the higher ups to let me switch to OpenStreetMap is probably going to be a losing battle.

Yeah, but I didn't expect it be nearly every single comment.

I work on the website for a medium sized utility, and will definitely resist implementing this.

I have been trying to convince my manager to let me switch to an authentication solution that supports webauthn, though.

I have no control of my emotions when watching movies. Aladdin setting the genie free? 😭😭😭😭

I thought you were just kidding, but then I read his post history.
