https://www.engadget.com/2019/04/16/bed-bugs-force-apple-to-temporarily-close-24-hour-fifth-avenue-s/quote:The 24-hour Apple Store on New York City's Fifth Avenue was visited by some unwelcome guests. Staff were ordered to double bag their belongings last Friday after a bed bug was spotted in a manager's office, the New York Post reports. Critters were spotted in the store as far back as three to four weeks ago, but the Apple Store didn't acknowledge there was a problem until last week. yeah we knew there were bedbugs for weeks and we didn't give a poo poo, but dear lord a MANAGER may have been exposed! shut it down!

Everytime we have a houseguest I have to fight the urge to demand a full body inspection for bug bites lest they get into my house. gently caress bedbugs I'd rather have a skunk infestation. I'd honestly rather have a polar bear infestation.

Well yeah at least with polar bears you know they're gone when you stop finding massive shits and dead seals everywhere.

Dead Beef posted:how is home rental a gig? you think anybody with an extra place to live is unaware of renting? "gig" is just a shorthand for convincing members of the shrinking and dying middle class that they can retain their current social and economic status by renting their property to others any time they're not using it layoffs, shrinking responsibilities, and wages that aren't keeping up with inflation mean you can't afford your mortgage anymore? well, if you were a real hard worker, you'd have a bunch of ~side hustles~ bringing in money to supplement your lost wages. you thought you were doing great just working for a living? wrong, bucko! while you're at work, laboring for The Man, what are your house and car doing? they're just sitting there, not making anyone any money! if you don't want to be poor in the new gig economy, why don't you make the most of everything you own by renting it out to others from the moment you arrive at work to the second you leave work? if you're not enough of a hustler to efficiently utilize your economic potential like that on your own, then you can just let a cool and trendy billion-dollar startup handle the logistics of rent-seeking using your underutilized property, in exchange for a cut of the profits that they get to decide and can change at any time?

just found my favorite take on the notre dame fire: In light of the devastating fire at the Notre Dame de Paris, Ubisoft wants to give all gamers the chance to experience the majesty and beauty of the cathedral through Assassin's Creed Unity on PC. From April 18th at 02:00 to April 25th at 19:00 (your local time). you can download Assassin's Creed Unity on PC for free here, and you’ll own it forever in your Uplay games library.

seems gross but this could lead to technologies that help save people who are brain dead, which itself challenges our definition of medical death (again) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDqh-r8TQgs&t=152s ghoulish as this seems these experiments lead to the development of the first heart-lung machine which is technology still used today in some cardiac surgeries the ethics of medical experimentation is complicated to say the least

I'm sure your eyes glazed over at some point scrolling down this horror but don't miss out on the fine print at the bottom revealing that this guide on how to degrade yourself for pennies was published by a payday loan company.

I imagine getting a Payday loan with a "gig economy" job is even worse than one from a more typical job

I'm surprised they omitted Clinical Connection. I guess we're not quite at the point where "human test subject" is considered a viable gig category.

Dead Beef posted:seems gross but this could lead to technologies that help save people who are brain dead, which itself challenges our definition of medical death (again) A pretty hefty percentage of people on heart-lung machines end up with PTSD. Turns out that it's about as horrifying as you'd expect it to be. Possibly still better than being dead, depending on what quality of life they manage to restore to you. Gotta love modern medicine.
