I’m a very very old “millennial” or a very very young gen X— not shocked by these results though.

@braxa26

The article is about how they plan to phase that out.

Gizmodo is unreadable due to the density of ads on my phone. (Please, no one tell me how to block them. This isn’t a help request)

This is an FYI to those who post links to gizmodo (who may not be aware of how bad it is because of superior ad blockers on desktop.)

I see an ad between *every* paragraph. A video at the top and another in the lower right— then two banners which must be carefully closed (don’t accidentally click on the ad!) to even see the text.

CVs matter since it’s what the hiring committee will squint at while they try to figure out what to do.

Introduction letters are not as important in my limited experience with small companies colleges and schools.

@billiglarper @david_chisnall

That sounds like a weird reason.

At small and medium organizations “hiring” is extra work pawned off on already busy people and simply being the easiest to locate person who those tasked with the hire can trust won’t cause them embarrassment is the process rather than reading 100 CVs

Calls to previous employers matter a great deal.

This is because smaller orgs don’t budget any time to do this work.

I understand... can i see the Turing machine.

Consider the best job that you've had recently.

Let's call "recently" in the past 10 years. (What makes a job "best" is up to you.)

Regardless of how you applied, online, in person, etc. did you:

Here we have an admission this will not be an "appreciating asset"

It's bad enough for a car you have the payment, insurance, parking and tolls.

An electric car has no gas to purchase, but now you also need to pay rent monthly for software.

This is that "Rent Seeking" I've been told about isn't it?

Tesla (TSLA) to stop selling Full Self-Driving package, moves to subscription-only: why it's a big move

Tesla is officially killing the option to purchase its Full Self-Driving (FSD) package upfront. CEO Elon Musk announced today that...

Thinking about making some hard tack for the middle school students in the role playing games club since their current campaign is about some horrible sea journey.

I should not give them beer to dip it in so it will be water.

But I maywell make them a little soft to cheat as I do not want to speak to a parent grouchy about a chipped tooth.

What is a "local chain"

Why does it say "South Africa" on the front?

I wonder if every bad thing is AI but I suppose some things are just naturally bad. Organic badness if you will.

@gaditb

"words with ambition of being doggerel"?

"doggerel" is a fun word and useful if you have said "slop" a few too many times. See also "corporate treacle"

@jadp

It's really fancy in NYC and you have to go to a fancy grocery to find it.

Worth it for a nice treat though. It really does taste better IMO.

@CStamp

Correction: The first laws were to stop a tuberculosis outbreak. It was effective. This was when milk additives were a problem and the food was just... dangerous.

later...

There was a law that made raw millk illegal to sell over state lines, but that came long long after people had already stopped buying "cream top" milks and only impacted a few people who have been mad about it ever since.

@platypus

I do not get that not wanting pasteurization. Have these people ever seen a cow?

@superflippy

excuse me finding WHAT.

is that like "jiggery pokery" ?

ok ok ok I'll look it up.

Pasteurization isn't the problem. It's *homogenization* (and maybe "ultra" pasteurization too.)

But, you will not find people passionate about their hate for homogenized milk. Homogenized milk just "looks better" and you can more easily find probably dangerous unpasteurized milk than nonhomogenized.

Anyway, you don't need "raw" milk to make clotted cream. Just "cream top" with regular pasteurization. 2/2

Excerpt from: How Dairy Shaped the US Psyche

There is no clotted cream in the US. Much like "The Mammoth Cheese" I think this is one of the things that makes this country... different.

If you ask "why is there no clotted cream?" people will say "because they made raw milk ILLEGAL" and get all upset and make up conspiracies, but... this never made sense to me.

But, beyond the triangle I think you can reorder the other three.
