The music is because those trucks drive around.

You can’t make tacos on the move, or any other kind of hot food really.

Which is why food trucks park in locations and operate

It’s a weird troll, just block them

Although Gabby Petito’s parents gave permission for her voice to be recreated in the American Murder: Gabby Petito series currently streaming on Netflix, her mother tells The Independent that a fake version of her daughter’s voice was “weird.”

She agreed to it for $ and now regrets it.

I’d have sympathy if they didn’t give permission, but if your the type of person to cash on in your daughters murder after the media circus has died down, I got zero.

The cause of Sophie’s APD diagnosis is unknown, but her audiologist believes the overuse of noise-cancelling headphones, which Sophie wears for up to five hours a day, could have a part to play.

So fucking stupid…

Kid grew up on a quiet farm in the countryside, then she moved to London and probably 100+ student plus lectures.

It’s not that noise cancelling headphones prevented her from developing normally, she developed in an environment like what we evolved to handle.

Then she got thrown into a cacophony of sound that is one of the planets largest/busiest cities…

And they act like she is the problem and not noise pollution?

Noise pollution is fucking a lot of us up, and people who grew up with it are used to it, but that doesn’t stop the negative consequences of it. Someone that never had to deal with it is obviously going to have what looks like a sudden onset of a condition, but the person is fine.

The environment is the problem.

To clarify this is about someone identifying a vulnerability and getting $10k from Google for it

There’s quite a few jobs that aren’t union eligible

Yep, I’m not bargaining unit, so it sucks more than most. And there’s really not many of us

But I still have a shit ton of protections anyways.

there are federal workers that do get fired for doing a bad job.

I’ve fired federal workers, it’s just a year long hassle and giving them every plausible opportunity to improve first.

Even Republican appointed judges are turning against trump policies.

Not everything gets to the supreme court.

Nah, after probation it’s pretty much impossible.

There needs to be like a year of documentation that the employee is just not doing their job.

Because of the union.

That’s why there’s this big push to resign, every tool they have to reduce the federal workforce begins with the word “voluntary”. Probate employees and contracts have reason to be nervous tho.

Even closing USAID, it stops the work they’re doing, but they’re all gonna get huge severance checks or settlements if it really closes. It’s not like the private sector where it’s individuals fighting a billion dollar corparion. It’s multiple unions that are individually some of the largest in the country whose only reason for existence is knowing an incredibly confusing system of decades of regulations…

Versus a couple teenager and college drop out techbros with zero idea what they’re doing.

Same offer that expires tonight, they were just told they’re not excluded.

Apparently 40k (out of all feds) are taking it, but spread out between now and then those don’t match normal retirement numbers.

So it’s a safe bet the ones taking it were already planning on retiring before then, and not everyone who’s retiring trusts it.

Most agencies can’t even say when someone would be released from work duties if they accept.

Nothing new about it…

Movies are made in Cali because the first studios didn’t want to pay Edison for his stolen patents on equipment…

So they moved to the opposite end of the country where it was mostly unenforceable, and it didn’t take long till intellectual property was a big concern for them.

The entire point of it to show anything could be…

You could say back in the day when you had to drive to a store to pick up a NES cartridge means your mom’s minivan can carry Internet traffic.

It was just a way to move a physical item containing data.
