The rule applies to workers earning at least twice the average local wage in Florida, which is about $140,000 in urban areas, plus those who have access to confidential employer information.

What job doesn't have access to confidential employer information? ๐Ÿค”

How often do both of your families pester you about when you're having kids? ๐Ÿ˜

We need to pass legislation that requires all AI services be powered by their own, renewable energy on-site. Then no one can complain and we'll reduce pollution at the same time.

If the AI services complain we can collectively respond with, "oh yeah? How's that AGI comin? Surely it can figure out a way to power itself."

Of course, that's when the AI companies start hiring humans to sit in energy harvesting pods all day ๐Ÿคท

These shoes will claim they're victims of a crime and they're right!

On a near daily basis she sprints from one state-run pharmacy to another on a quest for pills and syringes. Increasingly, she has to turn to the black market and pay the higher prices there. That is if they have what she needs.

Same situation is common here in the US. Only difference is that you're paying more and you're traveling greater distances to privately-owned pharmacies trying to find one that has your pills.

In the past four years I've had trouble getting both mine and my family's medications many, many times. Then there's the fact that our insurance won't cover some unless I get them filled at CVS for anti-competitive reasons (CVS caremark).

I'd rather have Cuba's system. It's cheaper and has a better track record.

Capitalism doesn't work for medical care. Specifically, it's unsustainable. We're currently at the tail end where it's about to collapse.

All those people getting laid off? That's going to increase premiums next year by a ton. Expect it to be all over the news in a few months.

I know, right? Why send my BBQ data to the cloud when I can just cook with a handful of GPUs, locally? To start the grill you just ask the animated waifu to dance and sing a random, AI-generated song that matches your taste in music. Then the fans spin up and send scrumptious GPU heat into the grill, cooking up a delicious hallucination where your animated waifu sings, "That looks yummy! Yummy yummy yummy! Hai hai hai!"

Flood warning systems are socialism though!

The good news here is that if the IRS can change this kind of thing on the whims of the president then it can be changed back and maybe we can finally start taxing churches if we elect a rational president.

"Witchcraft" or, "we really didn't like them"?

They need to act Swiftly! I'm sure conservatives will put forward a modest proposal.

Lesson here for banks: You're not paying your employees enough!

~$1000 should not be anywhere near enough to bribe your employees! Anyone with access to such systems should be paid accordingly!

Made this looping video on a whim this morning because you'd think they would've fixed this problem by now (after ~5 years and multiple headsets).

Wasn't sure where to share it so here you go, lemmy.world/Virtual Reality ๐Ÿ˜

 

The genie asked the man, "do you wish you were worth a lot of money?"

Onlookers watched in horror as the quickest among them broke off large golden chunks of the statue before they could even get close to claim their own prize.

 

Pool pump has been a bit weak lately: The stream of water pouring out of the hot tub "waterfall" into the main pool had become more like a trickle. This usually indicates a significant clog or that the pool filter needs cleaning.

Considering I haven't cleaned the filter in almost a year I figured that was likely the problem. It wasn't ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ

Turns out that there's something stuck in the intake at the bottom of the pool which means I have to dive deep with a screwdriver in the super cold water and carefully clear out whatever is in there. Probably a plastic bag or similar.

Note: Never attempt such a thing while the pump is on! In fact, lock it down with some tape and maybe a warning label that says not to turn it on while you're doing your difficult work.

Been a long time since I had to hold my breath under water. I wonder if I can still reach 2 minutes? ๐Ÿค” Probably not with this water temperature ๐Ÿคฃ

 

I just watched the final episode of If My Wife Becomes an Elementary School Student and I had to write something about it... When I first read the description of this anime I thought it looked stupid, "Another low effort anime." But of course I watched it anyway (because I run out of episodes fast on Sundays, haha) and it turned out fantastic!

The description is accurate but severely understates the concept: It's not a comedy but more akin to sci-fi or isekai with a, "what if?" scenario. What would it be like if your dead wife suddenly appears in the form of a little kid, saying she reincarnated? It does a pretty good job of going into the emotions and real-world problems (Japanese ๐Ÿคฃ) people would run into in such a situation.

For example, what about the mother of the little girlโ€ฝ Wouldn't she be like, "WTFโ€ฝ" Ummm... Yeah she would! And the show explores that aspect of the concept as well as the family of the deceased.

I highly recommend this anime. It'd probably be a great show to watch with your partner too. Also, make sure to have some tissues handy to soak up the tears!

 

As I put a dish into the dishwasher I thought to myself, "๐Ÿค” I haven't cleaned the filter in a while." So I took it out and gave it a real good blast with piping hot water from the kitchen sink. I even scraped some of the gunk off with a dish brush to the point where I couldn't find a single mote of gunk upon careful examination.

Then I proceeded to refill the rinse aid (even though it wasn't empty) and--as usual--spilled that stuff all over the interior door in the process. Is it even possible to not spill the rinse aid when refilling it? ๐Ÿค”

My journey didn't end there, however! I then proceeded to walk the entirety of my home searching for cups and plates that may have been left behind by my children, found several, and it was enough that it nearly filled the dishwasher racks; bottom and top.

The dishwasher has been started; the wait begins.
