This is a good move for wiki maintainers and users. Fandom needs to lose their stranglehold over the wiki farm “market”. Info like this shouldn’t be polluted and bloated with advertisements and it shouldn’t be able to be modified by the whims of Fandom either.

After that? An M1 Abrams. He just wanted to stop by and ask some questions

It is kind of a new thing, but there has been more activity within recent years for employees at tech companies to unionize. Most notable would probably be NPR, Alphabet, and NYT

So basically the state has been ignoring the need to get funding for maintaining the units (a lot have been condemned) and to get additional staffing to screen applicants

Mass made a switch from local housing authorities having their own application system to a statewide online version. Ideally it sounds good, however there weren’t enough people to screen through the apps fast enough. And like online job apps, there is a way to “game the system” and loads of people would mark their interest in living everywhere, but would rather live in only one area

Basically a half-baked solution that the state fails to correct despite the 5-10 years of complaints from those working in the system asking for improvements

At the cost of “the funny”, that’s what I was alluding to. That Gen X is the generation between millennial and boomer, and that they are always forgotten about

Millennial is code for young people. Anything above the age of 40 is automatically a boomer, and no, there is no in between

Japan annexed Korea back around WWI - WWII, and committed a fair amount of atrocities. I believe that the older generations of Korea do not like Japan, understandably. I don’t think it’s common for younger Koreans to share the same sentiment of the older generation

LK-99 is a room temperature superconductor. It’s a big deal, because it means that energy can be transferred with 0 loss and it doesn’t require loads of cooling to maintain that property (unlike “traditional superconductors” that need liquid nitrogen and other cooling to have that property). An analogy would be like if you got paid all of your paycheck all the time instead of having taxes taken out. The money you get paid is energy and the loss is taxes

There’s controversy that LK-99 can’t be replicated

Going over to the programming side, sometimes you’ll work on a feature and when others go test it, it doesn’t work. A common excuse heard is “well, it works on my machine”. Docker containers solve that problem by essentially (but not really) making a copy of “my machine” and letting people run the program/feature on that copy

So the joke is, if the korean researchers were able to create it in their lab environment (their machine), why don’t they just make a copy of their lab and let others use it

this is a very gross oversimplification, so feel free to suggest any corrections

It would probably be Cane’s, because I eat there a fair amount and it’s like B-tier fried chicken for an okay price. If we wanna go international, then it’s Kyochon. It’s a Korean Fried Chicken chain with 1 location in America and a bunch in Korea

Second would either be McDonalds or Dairy Queen for their McFlurry/blizzard or their super artificial ice cream. Honestly, I know there is better ice cream, but I have an Anton Ego flashback (from Ratatouille) whenever I take a bite/lick of ice cream and am reminded of the trips I took with my mom when we walked over to Dairy Queen together
