Bringing back manufacturing, but with no planning and no investment

Ireland is like the only English-speaking country that isn't cooked. Possibly NZ as well. Immigration is somewhat difficult for either (basically average difficulty for "western" countries) so might be easier to just learn a second language & leave the "west" entirely.

Euro arms industry is apparently even more of a deindustrialized neoliberal grift than the US arms industry.

Yeah but he's doing it in a seedy, oafish way, the grifts are supposed to involve consulting firms and nonprofits and blind trusts, it's supposed to be too boring for people to notice. Doing a grift-fest as a tv spectacle really infuriates the people working at the consulting firms and nonprofits and whatnot, who thought their system was too good to fall like this.

I'm sorry I did not benefit from my actions in the way I anticipated

They mentioned naval reactors as well, do those require higher levels?

Speaking of being big and loud, does Lemmy still have that bug that makes our emotes still render extra-large on other instances? Or was that just a thing in the early days?

Wait a minute, aren't these fabs already highly modular? Like they're basically a series of higly specialized machines from various vendors already?

These guys leak more group chats than the government

CW: slurs, ableism, racism, anti-LGBT. All the shit you'd expect from a private ACP chat honestly.

The old world is dying and the new world struggles to be born. Now is the time of garbage.

Sad to see random sailors get killed, but regardless still have to hand it to the Houthis for an extremely successful ongoing campaign. Shipping volumes passing through are down dramatically, and alternate routes are adding a lot of delay and expense. It's costing Egypt a lot of money in lost transit tolls as well. And shipping was in a less-than-ideal state to begin with, due to the Panama canal drought and issues with shipbuilding.

Insurance rates were already keeping most higher value cargo out, it's currently mostly bulk goods, crude oil, and some refined petroleum products still transiting; that's why we never hear about container ships being hit, they were generally the first to leave.

This attack will further increase insurance rates and further increase pressure on the west to "do something" but other than a ceasefire they don't have a lot of good options.

The thing is, they're almost right: it was a spectacle, he did want attention - ATTENTION TO THE GENOCIDE. They just can't (or refuse to) understand that anyone could take any action to benefit a larger cause instead of benefiting themselves as individuals.

Need job recs (hexbear.net)
submitted 2 years ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

I've been searching for a new job for many months with no luck. I have 10+ years in software engineering and related roles. I need something either remote (US or Canada) or local to Toronto.

I think my resume and background is pretty good, but apparently not good enough to get noticed. I don't have FAANG or top-n schools. I've applied to about 100 places and only had 2 interviews and a few pre-screens.

I have some p/t work for now, but it's not enough. Every month I just fall farther behind, paying my small-time absentee landlord more money than I bring in. I'm giving those parasites what would have been my own down payment, and that is starting to run low. All while trying to stay motivated to keep submitting endless resumes into the void.

My old local org had a good network of hooking each other up with jobs, I really miss that right now. That was a long time ago and nowhere nearby, I have basically no professional network here, and barely even have friends locally.

Shit sucks. I can't keep doing this.
