In this case the bond is because he's appealing a civil judgement that's been reached. This is different from a bail bond. He's not at risk of jail over this unless he gets in contempt of court.

This is a game I keep coming back to. I love it, and it's got great replayability. I'm glad the phone version works well now.

I'm an anarchist, and my take is that anarchism isn't pacifism, and "no coercion" is a bad summary. It's more about the absence of hierarchical coercion and instead distribution of power to all people and communities.

If you're going around burning down houses, your anarchist neighbors are going to use force to take away your matches and gasoline if you don't stop.

It's all bullshit, and you've hit the nail on the head.

The only way out is through each other: change your workplace to be less bullshit. Demand dignity. Maybe bring your friends and make a co-op.

Ironically, as I've become more senior (11+ years at a faang company) I've had to do less and less of that "look around and understand everything" work because of time pressure. But I rely on my experience to be more confident that I can ignore the details and focus on the reason I'm in this file.

Well, that, and if it gets too messy I give up and call in a junior engineer...

Cigarette butts, the thing op is complaining about, are not mostly ash. They're mostly plastic. Not cool to litter.

Constant capitalist and corporatist propaganda: I sleep

A single anticapitalist idea: real shit?

My dad died from this. It's a horrible way to go. I'm sorry to hear anyone else has to deal with this condition.

Ok but in writing you do, at least if you're my college professors and want to make your students sad

"well actually" room temperature superconductors do exist, quite definitely! ... But only at 100 gigapascals of pressure. https://uspex-team.org/static/file/Troyan2022_ufn227g_High-temperature%20superconductivity%20in%20hydrides.pdf

Still really cool, but not useful for engineering.

I agree that this paper needs to be replicated before we get excited.

I'm out of the loop.
