Just wanted to say thank you for this lemmy. I randomly discovered it when I first joined and have been utilizing a lot of the list. Its pretty awesome. I plan on contributing when I have time. The mac and iOS sections could certainly use some revamping.

It's part of the job, truly ask anyone in construction and also why I traded in my expensive truck. Nobody is taking money from me, as I voluntarily go to the job. I could sleep at the job site if I wanted (some guys do). I'm also entitled to a hotel room if I really wanted, but I'd rather drive the couple of hours, eat dinner with the kids, and sleep with my wife in my bed. There are some perks such as fuel cards, however I switched companies only 6 months agobso I'm low man on the totem pole for it, or wait till I get promoted. I'm in a union and well taken care of. I can just as easily find something closer, but I love my job, I love my crew, and I love my company. At the end of the day, there's plenty of ways we are all getting screwed, but my company isn't one of them. I'd rather focus on the monopoly cartels such as PGE, Verizon, Blackrock, and a plethora of others that are directly costing me much more and affecting my cost of living.

Nope. In this case the doctors machine isn’t a life support system, it’s more like an xray machine. The ownership remains the doctors the entire time. The doctor chooses to stop a patient who wants to use the machine to kill another patient.its his machine to begin with. The ONLY morally correct decision is to not allow it. Get mad at the doctor all you want, at the end of the day you’re advocating for murder.

Today, 75 miles away. Yesterday was 88.

Because I work in the construction industry, so I must go where the job site is located

Imagine being so brainwashed that you think since someone else owns a life support machine, you have the right to use it to kill people you don’t like.

I drive 150-200 miles/day. I’m definitely zoned out for the most of it lol

Target. Walmart, Amazon, UPS,Lays, Annheiser-Bush …just a few companies who have already begun testing automated replacements. If you think they aren’t all biting at the bit to pull the trigger on this the second they can, you’re naive. They’ll see insane overhead price reductions and increased productivity, all leading to higher profit margins. The slow change already started years ago. You can retrofit an existing big rig for less than half the salary of a driver and utilize 3x the work hours.

Odd that you put the doggy diddling in the headline but omit the child abuse

Microsoft deserves some credit for keeping .net relevant over the years. With a new JS framework popping out every ten minutes and the rise of PWA’s, it’s pretty remarkable
