  • If you’re unfamiliar, the deductions they are talking about is a shift meal deduction. IIRC, I think it’s a 2 tier deduction where if you work like ~6 or less you get a meal deducted from the shift you worked and 6+ is two meals from your paycheck. The hour amount might be different, but there is a tiered system to it

    It’s a fair ask, because some people do not want to eat Waffle House. Tho tbf, managers probably don’t even track if you ate meals at all and I have eaten more than 2 meals on shift

    In any case, I do believe that there should be a clause stating that wages should increase a certain amount to keep up with CoL changes

    While it was an interesting time working there, it was by no means an easy time. They do deserve higher wages and a safer work env



  • LK-99 is a room temperature superconductor. It’s a big deal, because it means that energy can be transferred with 0 loss and it doesn’t require loads of cooling to maintain that property (unlike “traditional superconductors” that need liquid nitrogen and other cooling to have that property). An analogy would be like if you got paid all of your paycheck all the time instead of having taxes taken out. The money you get paid is energy and the loss is taxes

    There’s controversy that LK-99 can’t be replicated

    Going over to the programming side, sometimes you’ll work on a feature and when others go test it, it doesn’t work. A common excuse heard is “well, it works on my machine”. Docker containers solve that problem by essentially (but not really) making a copy of “my machine” and letting people run the program/feature on that copy

    So the joke is, if the korean researchers were able to create it in their lab environment (their machine), why don’t they just make a copy of their lab and let others use it

    this is a very gross oversimplification, so feel free to suggest any corrections
