  1. Hillbilly land on US Life Expectancy Can Vary By 20 Years Depending On Where You Live (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    Many of the other counties with the lowest life expectancy are clustered along the lower Mississippi River Valley as well as parts of West Virginia and Kentucky, according to the analysis.

    I wonder if genetic diversity - or rather the lack of it - is part of the equation.

    Where did anybody claim not to understand something, you great daft bleb?

    BTW spaces can change meaning: pen island, therapist.

    Oh, and learn to use the shift key.

  3. Re: "Progressive" solution to inequality on US Life Expectancy Can Vary By 20 Years Depending On Where You Live (npr.org) · · Score: 5, Informative

    Germany doesn't favour free enterprise as a randlicker would recognise it. They have commie things like laws against unfair dismissal and there's even worker representation on company boards. I'm not sure if you're allowed to work 60 hours a week with no extra pay even if you want to.

    Because of the republican party's murderous tenancies

    //to do: some lame pun about evictions/convictions or something like that.

    At 2 million a year we aren't talking about a shift supervisor at Mickey D.

  15. Middle monkeys on Your Boss Is Not More Stressed Out Than You, Science Says (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    IIRC there was a study some time back that said monkeys near the middle of the pecking[1] order had the most stress.

    Of course managers aren't monkeys ...

    [1] or shit throwing or flea picking, whatever the equivalent is

  16. Green and orange? on Google's Upcoming 'Fuchsia' Smartphone OS Dumps Linux, Has a Wild New UI (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Well I can't stand UIs that use three very similar shades of grey, so they had to go to the other extreme.

    Of course looks aren't everything, but there are plenty of GUIs that look good and are shit to use, but very few the other way round.

    An alternative explanation might be that judicial independence is an actual thing, but that's just crazy talk.

    Certainly not by yoorpan standards, no. From that PoV the US has a right-of-centre party and a very-right-of-centre party.

  19. Re:The real reason on IBM: Remote Working Is Great! (For Everyone Except Us) (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    And how in the hell are you going to convince those "lower-salaried professionals" to work for slave wages when mandating they move to some of the most expensive places to live in the entire country?

    You don't. The idea is to get rid of old workers who've spent 15 years getting the house how they like it and have kids halfway through school of their own volition so it doesn't cost any redundancy payments. Then they pick up some new fresh grads with 733t p13rc1ngs at the new location.

    That or ship it all to Bongobongoland.

    Talk about fucking shortsighted and ignorant.

    I know you are.
