Everyone except management.

It’s beyond fucked.

I can speak firsthand that this is the case for Kroger in Illinois. Their unions fight to cap wages below living wage levels, pick some of the most expensive insurance on the market, and work with Kroger corporate to eat away your hourly rate with sliding payscales based on incredibly arbitrary criteria (overnight premium, but it only counts for 4 hours of a graveyard shift as an example that happened to me).

They are actually worse than not having a union, because then they could make more than $23 an hour in Chicago.

Oh, did I mention the union contract specifically prohibits strikes and any form of worker retaliation?

Awful company.

I like ending my sentences with and.

It is insanely disingenuous to think that manufacturing capabilities that could cheaply mass produce waterproof cameras and consumer electronics for 30+ years couldn’t handle miniaturization.

On that note, I never once had water ingress issues with my S5 in a few years of ownership, and I would shower and swim with it. Just had to make sure the back was all the way on for the gasket to seal (the phone would detect it and warn you)

I don’t know why people keep parroting that crap. PHONES CAN HAVE REPLACEABLE BATTERIES AND STILL BE FULLY WATERPROOF.

I had a galaxy S5, it had an SD card slot, replaceable battery, headphone jack… AND WATERPROOF.

It was also thinner than my current OnePlus with the camera bump.

With equal (ie unlimited) access to both Ketamine is going to be a lot faster. They will both cause psychosis eventually, and both cause irreversible harm to major organs (kidneys/bladder and pancreas) after sustained use, but alcohol takes between 10-20 years of solid abuse before it starts to do serious damage, Ketamine only takes months to a few years.

Vapor deposited metal film. Expensive, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they already use exactly that to handle interference from the sun. Even non-coherent light can wash the sensors out if you have enough of it.

There is overhead but Vulkan allows you to batch draw calls in a far more efficient manner. It can also generally use multi threading to feed a GPU even if the game isn’t coded with that in mind. Basically Vulkan offers so many improvements to efficiency and parallelization that the overhead is a drop in the bucket compared to the overall speedup in draw call optimization alone.

It has nothing to do with the answer being wrong, it’s how you get there. If you fail to subtract seven, realize your mistake, and correct it you have already passed the test. People with dementia will either start to count down by the wrong amount, start counting up, stuff like that. You are testing whether they can abstract verbal instructions and maintain a consistent train of thought while performing trivial calculations.

Counting down on your fingers one by one and only saying every seventh number would be considered a perfect score once you make it to about 63 if you don’t lose track of what you are doing or start forgetting numbers.
