I finally have a reason to use my weeks of accumulated sick leave.

Oh god what have you done. Forevermore I will think of this at work

But hey, maybe you’d be able to score some valuable Beanie Babies.

I like unions. But the CFMEU, as I understand it (which is 30% at best), is a corrupt and criminally associated union.

Anecdotally, members of the CFMEU have always been the worst kind of people to be in a public space with. The few acquaintances I have in the union are racist, sexist, and generally unpleasant.

So ultimately while I think the government should keep off, the CFMEU is not an organisation I’d personally rally around - owing to internal culture and criminal/gang associations.

For Kitchen Nightmares that’s true, but Hell’s Kitchen is another story altogether for his persona.

I like it when I have plans - camping, long motorcycle trips, board games with friends. Totally with you otherwise during work periods. Seeing the possibility and being unable to do anything with it is the worst.

Stole $1000 (likely from someone who wouldn’t realise it’s even gone) to prevent untold trauma. I understand it’s a grey situation but knowing how damaging conversion therapy can be to a person, I’d say theft is certainly the lesser of two evils.

You’re bang on. It’s called MaxDiff. I use it frequently in my line of work to prioritise product or service messaging with panel data. It’s better in some cases to use Inferred preference rather than stated, but generally good to keep the options comparable in “size” of offer.

I would never interpret a MaxDiff model low end result as “wow, 5% of people want slower browsers.” Instead I’m focusing on the top cluster. As with any model, they’re only ever so accurate. Don’t read into the questions too much.

It’s an Inferred importance method, as other users have commented it is likely that there are some calibration metrics in there. MaxDiff is the name of the approach if you want to check out more.

You may not have realised but I wager the dominant majority of Lemmy’s userbase is American. So the dominant discussion will be focused on America.

I agree with you, it is not limited to America. But all any of us can really offer here is an anecdote.

Anecdotally I watched my partner go through this is in Australia for PCOS. Many doctors seem to be unable to reconcile that they don’t know literally everything.

Cocaine at bedtime

45° angle mattress.

(I have this issue and if any does have a recommendation hit me)

Slsk /Winamp for life. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it.

Depends on the breed. Some breeds never stop growing fur (ha), others have short fur which molts with the seasons. Angora rabbits are too much knowledge the most in need of trimming. Rexes don’t need any help. But my god do they need to learn how to use a vacuum cleaner.

And I’m sure inevitably, the site will become harder to run as more and more companies enter the shit list. Over time - features will be cut to save effort. List entry will be out sourced. The company itself, of course, will not see the irony. Finally - a new website emerges to track the enshittification of enshittification tracking websites. And the prophecy continues.

I miss that game. Not much tickles the same creativity and playfulness that I’ve tried since then. I used to spend hours in the level creator doing dumb stuff.

Seems like they know exactly what they’re doing

As much as I look back and wonder why I spent so much time grinding in Destiny, these moments with friends during raids and trials were what kept me going through COVID lockdowns in 2021.

WYSIWYG is also pretty common these days for tabletop gaming, with regard for models using the rules for whatever weapons or equipment they are actually holding. This came around as often people build the model one way (e.g. with a machine gun) before a rule change, after which they want to use the better rules without re-doing the model (e.g. with a flamethrower).
