EndeavorOS is what you want, fits the same niche but without being fucking Manjaro. :-)

How are the chest straps on the left anchored? Do they attach into the skin or?

Second paragraph, "demographic collapse". You're not crazy. 🙂

Biden used a policy called Humanitarian Parole, an extended temporary process stay which requires presidential renewal every 2 years.

That is to say, their current temporary status is itself the achievement that Biden has accomplished (once initially and one renewal so far), and that Harris will presumably continue and Trump will presumably revoke.

Dhalgren by Samuel Delany

(Close race with House of Leaves, but ultimately House of Leaves was telling a specific story, whereas Dhalgren is a semi-incoherent drug trip. Loved both books, though.)

what's a retart?

I came for the alas, stayed for the atlas.

Better vehicle, same people. 🤷🙂

As an engr manager, I've often seen disparity as a result of being hired during good years vs bad years for the company. Or when someone gets a better offer to leave, the company may change their pay but no one else's. Or hiring externally vs a transfer from another internal team. Or whether the team is coding for frontend web vs dev tools, even if using the same language. Or if female.

It's always a challenge for one person to fix -- with HR, with the department head, with yearly budget. And sometimes fixing one disparity means not having the sway to fix another as well.

Which is to say -- pay transparency and unions are good for everyone. And if the company can't afford to treat the employees equitably, then the company shouldn't exist. (Or it should reduce its avocado toast budget.)

Unresolved Textual Tension is a great YouTube / podcast for book reviews and/or roasts. Generally a mix of fantasy and sci-fi, largely newer stuff (The Locked Tomb, Murderbot, Kushiel) with some classics thrown in (Dune, Hyperion). The show features 3 people with great chemistry.
