I know a generally wonderful human being, taking care of his disabled parents, scraping by at a manufacturing job. He is hardcore against unions, says that he can negotiate for himself.
We’re fucked.

As you said, friction would introduce more wear and maintenance. This gentleman’s idea is to attach a windmill to drive the rotary induction wheel, which would essentially be “free” heat energy, and an interesting hobby contraption. Entertainment and a sense of accomplishment is probably his main goal.
Its not a brand new idea, just a different application of the principle. Induction generators already exist, and they can indeed be used with windmills, but to generate AC current versus heat energy.
More power to this fun and crazy inventor. Maybe he can find practical and reproducible use for this effect. If not, he’s gonna have the most unique water heater ever invented. With this he could make a fully mechanical hot water heater that burns no fuel and uses no electricity. He would just have to make a mechanism to disengage a clutch at the top temperature.
You remember businesses calling everyone who worked a low appreciation job heroes? CNAs got the shittiest end of the stick on that I think.
Giant banners calling you heroes greet you as you drive on the lot of the nursing home, and you look at them knowing you’re going to get physically shit on by the patients, and proverbially shit on by the higher level nurses, the administration that now works remote, the family of the patients, and of course the patients again as well. For $12/hr. And you’re extra short staffed because anyone that could find travel work did. Brutal shit for them.
I hate to defend Kyle’s mom, but man, shouldn’t a CNA or a phlebotomist be able to afford to survive in the area they work? In their case, I guess you reap what you sow.
They’re supposed to be the court defending the constitution, but yet here we are. I wish you weren’t right.
Remember, if a company steals from you and the entire country on a regular basis, it’s smart business. If you so much as steal food from them, you’re a monster.
The article has a suit giddy with the thought of stealing from people by price gouging water in a heat wave, and you’re over here not advocating to steal back from them? Yikes.
How is this not a first amendment constitutional violation? It very clearly establishes a state religion by enforcing Christian doctrine into state law. Fuck every religion, but in particular, fuck abrahamic religion and all of its followers.
North Carolina style, head to your nearest electric substation and open fire*

Probably a lifetime of hardship when shit starts hitting the fan for reals. Here’s to hoping you and I are in a good zone when this all collapses.
Which do you think will become the first famous climate refugees? Residents of small island nations losing land and safety, or heat affected landmasses that become uninhabitable due to extreme temperatures and/or wet bulb conditions?
It may not be a recession, but our economy is in shambles. It turns out, all that money that was supposed to trickle down for over 40 years didn’t. Apparently if you let the rich keep their money, they do. Who woulda fuckin thought.
What are we gonna do about it? Bitch on the internet, cause if we even got a general strike going, we would just be slaughtered selectively and demonized universally until the protest dies down. All because we would dare to ask for our fair share.
I bet that publicist quit the day he called the diver who rescued those kids in Thailand a “pedo guy”. That or he just got really lucky without a publicist for a long time until his opinions started being more important than his image or success.
I’ve been told that price gouging isn’t illegal on its own. But it’d be nice if it were.
If the inertia didn’t physically damage more than half of those drives, I would be surprised. I don’t think redundancy is a factor in this scenario. This has 3 likely outcomea. Restore from local backup in a different rack, restore from cloud/offsite backup, or the whole company needs to update their resumes.
Musky Bois be like “that’s not rust, it’s patina”.
…he expects authorities to use “good common sense.”
He knows they’re gonna murder someone, right?
Not quite as many as Madoff, but some notable folks and investors.
Yeah, short sightedness seems like the biggest defining factor of the anti union mindset.
