Section 3, article 3: SPEAKERS IN HELMETS

The Coach-to-Player system allows a member of the coaching staff in the bench area or the coaches’ booth to communicate to a designated offensive or defensive player with a speaker in his helmet. The communication begins once a game official has signaled a down to be over and is cut off when the play clock reaches 15 seconds or the ball is snapped, whichever occurs first.

The headsets are active between plays, and have one way communication with one player on each side. Typically this is the quarterback on offense and a team captain/play caller on defense. These players wear special helmets typically marked with a green dot on the back.

The refs or other officials cut off communication when the play clock reaches 15 seconds, preventing the kind of real-time communication you suggest.

6'3" 200lbs is about right for a fit male. I imagine her muscularity plus future stuff like diet and augmentation would make that realistic for a female.

I know this is a privacy community, but I'm not sure I'm onboard with the outrage on this particular one. If you rent/lease or go on a payment plan for the device you're using, then it isn't yours, it belongs to the entity you borrowed it from.

If I don't make car payments, the bank can repossess my ride. If I dont pay my mortgage or rent, I can be evicted by my landlord or bank.

If I don't make my phone payment, the company should have recourse to prevent me from using their device.

This could open up the ability for bad actors to disable my device, and I agree that's a horrible prospect. But the idea of a legitimate creditor using this feature to reclaim their property is not something I find shocking.

This hasn't been my (anecdotal) experience, or that of anyone in my network.

The industry is unstable no doubt about that, but we've never had trouble finding better places to land.

IMO if you've been in tech building your skills for a few years, you really shouldn't have trouble finding work. '01 was weird but there was still plenty of work, especially in defense. '08 was scary but turned out to be a great time to join a startup. Sometimes it's a lateral move instead of up, sometimes it requires relocating , but if you've been doing good work and building your professional network you should never have to go back to driving forklifts (unless you choose to).

This is false.

Former employers can answer a narrow set of questions without opening themselves up to liability. Among them:

• dates of employment
• documented departure reason
• eligible for rehire
• status of non-competes

I'm guessing somewhere between the departure reason and "no, we wouldn't rehire this person" the new employer might have some additional questions for the prospective employee.

Some companies deserve to have you quit without notice, fuck 'em, but they are allowed to report some facts to other HR departments who ask.

It's crazy that you needed to write this essay to explain to Lemmy folks that:

• unskilled/low skill labor does in fact exist
• it was not invented by the cApITaLiSm boogeyman
• gets paid lower relative to other positions in the industry because they're both easily replaceable and on an individual level do not generate as much value to the business as skilled/trained/professional labor

The above things can be true while also saying that ALL labor (unskilled or not) should be treated with respect and basic human decency.

I'm not stanning capitalism here, I'm just tired of Lemmings who've either missed all of their basic econ classes or have never tried to run their own business telling me how to allocate wages relative to value.

Executive pay relative to everyone else is out of control, no arguments there. But skilled and professional labor is highly productive relative to unskilled, and should be compensated accordingly.

What's to stop you from voting multiple times? Or voting as someone else? Or someone else voting as you? That last one actually happened to me during a presidential election in my home state.

I don't think it was part of some deep state plot to steal my vote, I'm betting some distracted volunteer at the polling place accidentally crossed off the wrong name and handed someone else my ballot. But still, it seems to me that if we can give out free IDs (which is a thing in my state) then there's no downside in checking them during voting in person.

The firearm is just a tool, it becomes part of your daily routine. You pick it up and holster it like you put your wallet in your pocket and your watch on your wrist.

I check to make sure it's loaded, but other than that there's nothing special or exciting about tucking the holster in my belt. No "OMG A GUN" feeling, no excitement, my heart rate doesn't jump. It's just normal to be armed and you sort of forget about the heavy lump of metal and plastic secured to your belt.

That being said, I've never forgotten about it enough to pack into a prohibited place like a police station or a bar, and CERTAINLY NOT A FUCKING AIRPORT.

Also, we shouldn't be giving TSA a pass here, assuming the congress critter actually went through security like us normal folks.

So.. Child labor?

I agree with most of your points. Just wanted to add that I use Git + GNU Stow to manage this exact situation and it works flawlessly.

With all due respect to our servicepeople, just having served in the armed services in no way guarantees you're an expert with firearms, competent at firearm safety, or qualified to be a professional armorer.

Anyone who's been around them knows, the military takes all types.
