If petting dogs lowers your blood pressure, and a weighted blanket calms and soothes, I should be about the most chill human on the planet right now. #dogs #DogsOfMastodon #chill #NapTime

Alternatively, Google could retain each of those 12,000 employees for considerably less than $1M each, and have much more than $5B in profits.
#Google could give EACH of the 12,000 employees it just laid off a $1,000,000 severance and still have $5 BILLION in profits left over from its last quarter alone (Q4 profits were $17B)
Instead, they just dumped 12,000 people onto the job market, which affects everyone, in a society in which such things as healthcare rely on employment.
When are we going to stop giving corporations that leech off us a free pass on civic responsibility?

Excuse me but I found a beaver dam earlier and it made my day. Possibly my week. Or month. Weβll see.
It isn't the size of the penguins that's relevant, it's the mass. Average penguin mass is1 to 1.5 KG, according to the googles.
Can anyone send me a link for a penguin-to-inches conversion calculator?

β‘GET SHOT TO LIVEβ‘
I received my latest Pfizer Covid vaccine a week ago. I felt fine for 36 hours, then developed a lethargy which led to a 12 hour 'nap'.
I've felt fine since and am very thankful for the protection this shot provides.
Latest Covid-19 booster shot tied to 81% decline in Hospitalizations; 86% decline in Covid-19 Deaths!
I encourage you to consider getting the shot as well.
The life you save may be your own!

So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
