Were they kicked out solely for having a differing opinion? Then it’s indisputably an echo chamber

Do the members seldom here opposing opinions outside of strawmen arguments or the occasional troll? Then it’s a defacto echo chamber

All organizations with common interests run the risk of becoming one, but the trap is particularly insidious for (and often weaponized by) online communities

As an AI generated model?

100/10 couldn’t tell

This also happens within IT

“Yes! If by allow you mean force”

Sounds like you’re salaried. Generally those jobs care about getting your work done more than watching a clock or waiting for phones to ring

If you have a decent boss, explaining what happened and asking if you can just take off a different day this coming week would probably be fine, even if Tuesday isn’t feasible on such short notice. Personally, I’d be gunning for Friday (assuming you have the normal weekend days off)

If that conversation is considered a problem, then it’s time to see if the company’s competitors are hiring for your position

You can just make them talk to one of those shitty models from the early 2010s

… Define “dead”

That’s 600/yr and a long enough horizon that most diverse portfolios are likely to be net positive (I’m seeing about 5,000 gained with 8% growth in a basic savings calculator)

I’d spend those 10 years trying to free up cash flow but time’s a powerful weapon regardless

Theoretically? I’d imagine it’s equal (or close) to the difference between global money supply and global money supply but I don’t think that’s what you’re asking

No good Xbox games came out in 1896

At my work we have something in place that prevents somebody from sending to more than 50 recipients but we control our own mail servers and know how many people are in the largest department

Basically, things like this exist but aren’t necessarily intuitive to set up and defaults would require contextual knowledge

Flying cars are also horrifying: they’ve existed for about a century, popular culture won’t accept they’re a bad idea and imagine the research breakthroughs drone warfare would experience if a consumer market were funneling funds in from a whole new closely-related industry

Idk what your society or definition of “insanity” is but assuming you’re asking what we believe most commonly leads to one’s mental health entering a negative feedback loop:

Broadly speaking it’s some form of hopeless desperation (yes, the hopeless qualifier matters here) that commonly kicks into high gear after falling into homelessness, at least based on my own observations

Some also get to play on hard mode simply for winning the genetic and/or socio-economic anti-lottery

Different jobs are different

Sorry for rambling

Same way you overcome any of life’s challenges: decide it’s impossible bullshit and move onto another game

Not sure what the science is between 2 images with no source or timestamp and nearly 20 years of technological improvement between them is but this isn’t the peak of Katrina

Katrina ultimately reached its peak strength as a Category 5 hurricane on the Saffir–Simpson scale on August 28. Its maximum sustained winds reached 175 mph (280 km/h) and its pressure fell to 902 mbar (hPa; 26.63 inHg), ranking it among the strongest ever recorded in the Gulf of Mexico.

It probably refers to its stats at landfall

Katrina weakened to a Category 3 before making landfall along the northern Gulf Coast, first in southeast Louisiana (sustained winds: 125mph) and then made landfall once more along the Mississippi Gulf Coast (sustained winds: 120mph). Katrina finally weakened below hurricane intensity late on August 29th over east central Mississippi.

But power doesn’t equal damage for weather

[Katrina] is the costliest hurricane to ever hit the United States, surpassing the record previously held by Hurricane Andrew from 1992. In addition, Katrina is one of the five deadliest hurricanes to ever strike the United States

Science!

Doesn’t sound familiar but I understand there’s very little to go off here
