  • The realestate claim is just plain backwards. It does depend on the person, but making the claim that people in general are happy to donate part of their home to their employer and impact their families with work from home is just wrong. Emails instead of meetings should be common sense for status meetings and has no impact on the choice to work from home. Meetings that have agendas should be in person, especially if its on sensitive topics. All reasons I have listed above.

    Some people sure do benefit working from home. I liked no commute, it saved a lot of money and wasted time but it made home worse.

    We work to live. Work should have no place in our home.


  • You have it backwards. Completely.

    1. I have no intentions of bringing my work home, work is a job, it has no place in my home impacting my family.
    2. I will not lose a part of my home to my jobs business. Its not their property, it is my home.i would rather the office be a bedroom so my children dont have to share a room.
    3. We evolved without video conferencing, it is natural and easier to meet with someone in person to convey emotion and understand people we meet with. It is too easy to dismiss someone over a screen, empathy is too easily lost. It is also harder to be ignored in person.
    4. I can see when my ataff are struggling off meeting or when talking to others and help them. This is a bit micro-managey however I value the insight especially for staff that struggle to communicate.

    The only thing I loath about working in another building is: the commute and distractions. The commute is expensive and a huge waste of time. I try and minimise the time waste with audio books but its forced waste of money. The distractions can be minimised with headphones.










  • What an atrociously dangerous planned design.

    1. Poor design: Thermal runaway is a serious problem that this setup has a very high chance of occurring. When it occurs, not if, it will spread fast from one container to the next and it will not be able to be put out that is the current fire fighting procedure for the state.
    2. It is very dangerous because these old batteries produce a very toxic and dangerous compounds when in thermal runaway. Again firefighting procedures cover hazmat requirements and it’s well documented the dangerous compounds that are present especially in these older batteries.

    Net result. It will create another unstoppable fire that will dump poisons into ground water and the air recklessly endangering anyone down wind.

    Solutions not problems:

    1. Isolate each container in an empty dam that is able to be filled with super chilled salt water the moment a runaway begins.
    2. Design fire suppression and shutdown to protect residents and the grid. Keep personal onsite to monitor with the authority to immediately react to fire incidents.

    1. social studies isn’t a fucking college level course, you talking about sociology?

    Depending on where you live it is college or ts university, first year

    1. how do you even measure “acting on it” more often? I’ve read several things that said that women attempt suicide more often than men, but men more often “succeed”… Largely because of the means they choose

    Death, well established and not studied enough

    1. guns don’t cause suicide depression does is the same shitty argument that assholes like you have with guns don’t kill people, people kill people

    Its sad how obsessed you are with guns, really sad

    Fact America is not in the top 20 countries for suicide. I would like to think because its quality of life, but like all things its more nuanced.

    Guns don’t cause suicide, depression (the big killer) results in suicide and its causes are many. Access to suicidal means may help with a little bit of time sometimes; best case scenario. However if the cause is never addressed the end result will always be the same so just conflating the issue and the cycle continues on.

    Australia got rid of guns in 1996.

    The only person fetishizing guns and suicide is you! Stop wedging the desperate to your disingenuous cause,.


  • What a load of horse shit.

    Wedging guns is nothing but disingenuous.

    Suicide is caused by depression. Not guns, Depression.

    Higher male suicide rates is caused by the fact that men ACT on it more than women. This is well studied and understood by even first year university students in social studies. The only way to stop it from occurring is before men and women ACT on it. Address the cause depression, and it will improve outcomes.

    Programs like, “Black dog institute”, “Are you OK”, “Mens shed Associations”, or best yet, clinical help, Break the stigma of men reaching out for help.
