If that had happened in Germany, Brenda would have provably committed an administrative offence and should stop unless they want to go to jail:

§ 4 Rest breaks

Work shall be interrupted by predetermined rest breaks of at least 30 minutes for working hours of more than six to nine hours and 45 minutes for working hours of more than nine hours in total. The rest breaks referred to in sentence 1 may be divided into periods of at least 15 minutes each. Employees may not be employed for more than six consecutive hours without a rest break.

§ 22 Penalty provisions

(1) An employer commits an administrative offence if they intentionally or negligently

2. contrary to § 4, do not grant rest breaks, do not grant them for the prescribed minimum duration or do not grant them in a timely manner

(2) In the cases referred to in paragraph 1, nos. 1 to 7, 9 and 10, the administrative offence may be punished with a fine of up to thirty thousand euros […].

§ 23 Penal provisions

1. intentionally and thereby endangers the health or working capacity of an employee, or

It was true when I said it and I’m proud of everyone for what they’ve achieved since then.

Terrorism is the use of force against civilians to influence a nation’s policy. This is not it.

Everyone acts like it’s all about gaming, but people want to use Lightroom, Photoshop, Excel, their banking and tax software etc. They don’t want the alternatives because they’re not integrated well, they can’t access their Dropbox/Apple Cloud/whatever and they gave Linux their Google password already, why does it need it again for that mail software that has some stupid bird name instead of “mail”.

Thank you, I wasn’t sure what I was supposed to observe in this picture. The sink is very unusual to me, the faucet isn’t.

That’s the documents everyone, including you apparently, failed to read.

At no point has Micron ever stated they’re switching to HBM memory. Micron isn’t “pivoting to AI” and neither are its fabs. If you write this as a journalist, you clearly take your opinion from reddit and lack common industry knowledge.

They have put down roots in the Brussels bureaucracy. Authoritarian theories are now dominant over democratic ones there. To weed them out, it would be necessary to elect leftist leaders who radically prefer leftist civil servants throughout Europe, which is now farther away from realisation than it has been for decades.

In addition to what the others said about mirepoix, or stock, soups are experienced as more full-bodied or wholehearted when celery root is added. The earthy, bitter taste can be balanced by the right combination of sweetness (from other vegetables) and saltiness or used as intensifying effect for a strong umami taste, e.g. in poultry stock.

I haven’t met anyone who specifically disliked the taste of celery root in soups yet.

Out of curiosity, do you also dislike other earthy tastes, like truffles, lamb, champignons, girolles?

It’s not very complicated. Coco Chanel was a nazi collaborator.

Yes, lots of sources. They’re easy to find if you start by thinking about who would know the most of a subject.

I’m telling you that if nothing is done about it, global warming, the extinction of species and other factors will raise the likelihood of humanity’s extinction to a higher level than it has been in tens of thousands of years, over the course of the next few hundred years. We can only speculate about how earth will be like in three hundred years and if there are places left that remain inhabitable for humans.

The inuit rely on fish, which are on track to become extinct in this century even. People survive in the Sahara by bringing lifestock/food and water with from elsewhere, but the desert grows from year to year.

Extinction doesn’t need to happen in seconds, like when a big space object collides with earth. It can also happen gradually. Major environmental alterations like weakened amoc and global warming will make many more regions of the earth uninhabitable, for example when the temperature rises over 46°C regularly or when there are regular droughts or floods. A lot of land where hundreds of millions of people currently live on, will be completely submerged, desertificated or barren. And these changes won’t just affect humans, but also whole ecosystems that we need to survive, for example fishing grounds, forests or, if you think about the extinction of species, especially insects, arable land in all parts of the world.

Our civilization as we know it right now can not survive catastrophes like these in the long term, and we cannot be certain that human life will remain possible on the planet without being completely dependent on artificial habitats, food, water sources etc.

Yes exactly. Embrace and extinguish has always been Microsoft’s strategy. They’ll release their own distribution and either make it slower and more complicated than Windows, so that everyone thinks Windows is the better OS, or they’ll make it a cloud OS like Chrome, requiring recurring payments to use Office 365 and everything else.
