Yeah, where the dangerous job was “hunt something so you don’t starve”, the motivation for doing the dangerous job is pretty obvious.

Under Maoism or Stalinism, aka the dictatorship of the dictator pretending to act for the proletariat? You are ordered to do it, for your own good and the good of the Party. If you don’t follow orders, you just get shot; and your family is put in a prison camp, your children raped and beaten and forced to labor.

Under real stateless, classless communism? Nobody knows, because that hasn’t existed yet. Anyone claiming to know exactly how it might operate is talking out of their hat. Marx is pretty clear on that.

Please note that the article disagrees with the headline. It states explicitly that there was no request.

In other words, the author feels free to lie to you.

Officials from Indonesia’s nuclear energy regulatory agency have traced the source of contamination to a steel manufacturer in the Cikande industrial area known as Peter Metal Technology, or PMT. Some of the highest levels of contamination detected in the area were reportedly found in the company’s furnace, which is about 1.5 miles southwest of the BMS Foods facility where the shrimp was processed.

Investigators think that radioactive dust was released into the environment after PMT inadvertently smelted scrap metal containing cesium-137. “Because it’s airborne, the contamination can be carried by wind,” said Bara Khrishna Hasibuan, a senior adviser to Indonesia’s Ministry of Food Affairs, at a Sept. 30 press conference.

Scrap metal was commonly used as a raw material by PMT, according to the Indonesian outlet Antara News. It’s unclear how it may have become contaminated with cesium-137. Biegalski, whose area of expertise includes nuclear forensics, told CR that the “easiest explanation” is that a medical or industrial device containing cesium-137 was inadvertently reprocessed as scrap metal. The radioactive material could have become gaseous after entering the PMT furnace and then been released from the facility’s smokestack, he said.

It’s racist to use immigration law to maintain a racial underclass. For instance, many essential agricultural workers in the US do not have access to the courts or law enforcement to protect their rights. If a citizen assaults one of these workers, the worker cannot safely report the assault to law enforcement without being punished for doing so.

They run ads. They actually have pretty reasonable ads policies, too.

How the hell do you wreck lentil soup that bad? Heck, there are lots of different cultures around the world that make tasty lentil soup. There’s German lentil soup with potato, carrot, and ham; there’s Indian dal in a range of flavors and colors; there’s Turkish Ezogelin soup with bulgur and paprika …

If you see this, it worked for me.

Here’s the original article of which this link is a ripoff.

ADOM’s Tower of Eternal Flame will burn you and your equipment if you’re not adequately protected. It’s also harsh on certain characters that usually benefit from heat!

And that’s our entry for “bad headline of the day”, folks.

No, they were not ordered to serve out their sentence in a cartel-run ranch.

They were sentenced for their participation in running the ranch.

What are you trying to accomplish?

Are you trying to save human lives? Reduce suffering? Reduce some specific harm, such as from pandemics, or from severe weather due to climate change, or from trampling by elephant? Cure the specific disease that killed your great-aunt? Stomp Nazis?

If you say what you think is worth doing, people can point you to specific groups that are doing it.

Live with friends.

Harry Chapin’s “What Made America Famous?” got an unsuccessful musical, but never a film. In a modern update, the song’s “hippies” are instead gutter punks squatting an abandoned building, and the fat plumber is the one non-MAGA in the town’s volunteer fire department.

few outside of Germany knew that concentration camps existed

The creation of concentration camps was widely advertised in Nazi propaganda, as a show of force to intimidate dissidents. It was the later death camps that were secret: the ones that were designed for no purpose but to do murder at industrial scale.

“Hallelujah” is a song about sex — but it’s not dirty sex, it’s holy sex.

Ward Cunningham, creator of Calvin & Hobbes?

But if someone creates a file called HEAD, should it overwrite a file called head?

That shouldn’t matter to the “nontechnical” end-user at all. To the nontechnical user, even the abstraction of “creating a file” has largely gone away. You create a document, and changes you make to it are automatically persisted to storage, either local or cloud.

Only the technical command-line user cares about whether /usr/bin/HEAD and /usr/bin/head are the same path. And only in a specific circumstance — such as the early days of Mac OS X, where the Macintosh and Unix cultures collided — could the bug that I described emerge.
