Yeah, here in the US almost every state has “at will” employment, so any protections could really be circumvented by just firing a worker for whatever other reason (or no reason at all) they want. Hopefully labor has it better in the land down under.
I was a researcher for around twenty years and almost passed out leaning over an LN2 tank like an idiot looking for my samples once. No pain, just felt some tingling and rapidly fading consciousness. There was still a good amount of oxygen in the room since the alarms never went off. Just glad I started to fall backwards instead of into the tank.
I’ve also experienced nitrogen narcosis while deep diving, and that actually felt good.
A “performance improvement plan.” Basically a way for employers to set unrealistic expectations and fire the employee with less risk of a lawsuit for wrongful termination. Although since almost every state has “at will” employment now, it hardly seems necessary.

I’ve loved the cyberpunk genre since its inception, and loved Witcher 3, but skipped this game because I don’t like vomiting. Some of us just can’t play FPS games without terrible nausea, especially when they have a field of view that can’t be zoomed out very far.
Relay is the app I’ve been using for the past decade. It’s great, and I would pay a subscription fee even though I paid for the app, but it wouldn’t solve the other issues with the site. Mods still wouldn’t have the tools they need to be effective and NSFW posts wouldn’t be accessible, for example. Plus I don’t like the idea of giving money to companies run by the likes of Steve Huffman.
Interesting. Not sure if it is at related, but this made me think of the singularly before the Big Bang.
