Meanwhile in America, my old ll tried to tell me I couldn’t have my deposit back because “it’s summer and the bank is on vacation”
The US made a lot of its own sugar in the past either though sugar beets, or by growing cane in the extreme south, but that era is largely over (ignoring corn syrup): it’s cheaper to import it from places where imperialism keeps wages low.
Most US food is not local, unless you go to a farm share or market.
The petition is being organized by Alphabet Workers Union, the minority union trying to organize Google, its sister companies, and contractors.
This is literally a product of their minority union
A common, reasonably evidence based, protein target for bodybuilding is 1-2 g/kg, with the cursed unit of 1g/lb being about the upper limit of what’s useful. That’s probably what this post is referencing.
I love that I can easily correct and annotate bike lanes
It is a pill though.

At least in my faang office, there’s essentially zero ports to plug into. If you have a desktop, there’s a port, but that’s the exception. I’ve never seen anyone plug a laptop in.

My experience with it on Android had several weird bugs

It’s mostly software engineers, and distributed across almost every team.
These layoffs didn’t happen because Google is out of money. It’s insanely profitable.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guyana–Venezuela_territorial_dispute summarizes the history. I think what Guyana wants is the status quo.
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.
I fondly remember my organic chemistry lab professor giving us all a lecture that was something like this:
“I see that you children have learned how good acetone is at cleaning glassware. And you are correct: it is excellent. However, you cannot pour it down the sink and we have to pay for hazardous waste disposal. So use soap, water, and elbow grease instead.”
