@SummaryJudgment Italian cruisers seem interesting with their SAP ammo - from what I've read it can't citadel, but it's more reliable damage at non-broadside angles than plain AP.
I'm only at tier 4 with them though and so far they have godawful traverse and reload.
They don't offer monetary compensation for the patent pipeline? whaaaaat?
i would assume these days companies all do the "we own everything you do on company time" thing
My company is hueg so it's not like they need the new patents. They have eleventy billion already.
i feel like no company is worried about holding too many patents
Sure but they're gonna get some amount of new patents without needing to tie bonuses to the system.
Worst case if they know some project should be generating patents and it isn't they'll just send a team around to examine the work and force the applications.
life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies

I don't think I've seen a sentence break my brain that much in a long while.
"Italian Crusiers" - oh, like cruise ships?
"Ammo" oh, ships.
"SAP" -- wait, what does software have to do this?
"Can't citadel" Oh, maybe talking about wargames and citadel paints. Wait... what?
"Reliable damage" ... definitely not paints, but...
"I'm only at Tier 4" Ohh, okay, this is some kind of 4x videogame. Maybe? I don't know.
I think I'm missing context.

oh yeah i'm sure they're also not worried about having to pay incentives
Allegedly a voice of reason.

It's World of Warships.
The nation's different ship lines have some perk that distinguishes them - Italians get SAP, semi-armor piercing ammo, instead of high-explosive ammo.
Citadel = the juicy spot for tons of damage on a good broadside so you can penetrate the citadel armor.

Being huge isn't a guarantee though since patents expire. Seems like they've successfully tied it to the compensation review culture which is a bummer in my opinion.
I haven't finished one of my action items for an upcoming 1-on-1, so I'm finishing that real quick. Then I get a message on Outlook that says the 1-on-1 is postponed. YES! *procrastinates more*
I'm using the time to argue with an acquaintance via e-mail on why the paper he sent me about Lysine supplementation to treat COVID-19 is bullshit. He responded to me pointing out red flags by yelling about the medical/pharmaceutical complex (uh oh... btw, the paper he sent me was written solely by authors who work for the same biochem company) and fucking linking me to a YouTube video of Rupert Sheldrake giving a TED talk (Sheldrake is a pseudoscientific grifter who studies "morphic fields" and psychic power).

yeah my company is notoriously thrifty
I mean my base comp is still absurd so I'm not gonna complain too much about the lack of side perks

Patents make investors happy, it's a slide our CEO loves to stick at the front
25 patents filed during tenure gets you more recognition than just about anything you could do. Save the company $1bn? Whatever man.
File 10 troll patents? Name in the annual report
For a beautiful moment in time we created a lot of value for shareholders
Look a billion dollars is great but a patent could be worth anything! Even a billion dollars!

Pfizer says it will apply to the FDA for authorization to use its vaccines in children ages 5-11 by the end of September, once it sends all the data in.

my understanding is the reason they haven't already is just that they are waiting on this data

it sounds like wee babbits only need 1/3 of the adult dose for the same immune response, which is cool and will help stretch vaccine supply
my ambient stress level will drop a lot after they're vaxxed I think

I have to be quick on the draw since I got annihilated by Mim that one time I edited some quotes and the pictures were all messed up and then it took me like 10 edits to fix.
and I wonder about my neighbors even though I don't have them

i miss back in the day when if you could edit a post fast enough that no one viewed it, it didn't get the edit tag
Chanus your 'faire use' post was criminally underrated. I'm so disappointed in [chat] right now.

Okay.. does anyone know the official name of this mounting/bracket hardware?
I have this channel on my cubicle that looks like it would support a ton of weight. It would be awesome if I could get monitor arms that mounted to this hardware. but basic amazon searches aren't turning up anything.

Yah, I suppose the culture is swinging differently these days. Even our reward program has been reduced over the years, but we still have one.
