Intel is building a $20 billion facility in Arizona with financial support from the US government. NBC News reported workers are on the construction site for “two 60-hour weeks followed by a 50-hour week for months at a time in the hot Arizona weather with no paid vacation time.”

Many of these workers are coming from out of state and leaving their friends and families behind to live in temporary housing or hotels for months or years at a time. Josh Vitale, a superintendent for Hoffman Construction, the general contractor overseeing the construction of the Intel computer chip factory, told NBC News, “There’s a lot that goes into how stressful it is, not just physically, but mentally and psychologically … we have to realize that we are legitimately wringing the life out of people.”

They're making workers leave their lives behind for months at a time to toil in the desert and live in sardine cans. With no vacation. Yeah it's real surprising that suicide is on the rise and no young people are joining the industry.

Yeah you'll dry out your hair if you shampoo that much. Then you'll have to condition it often to keep it good. Same deal with thorough soaping -> using lots of lotion.

I wonder how many people are actually scrubbing themselves raw everyday.

I wonder what counts as an "online game" with regard to this regulation. Does it target MMOs and MOBAs only or does it apply to every game that connects to the internet? Because this will totally upheave how gacha games work, genshin impact included.

Lol that makes a + sign on a numpad. I remember using a lot of codes that were some variation of 1, 3, 7, and 9 (a square)

There are a lot of lawsuits against Fox haha. It's why I'm including the case names. Seems like Fox won this suit partially because the lady couldn't prove Tucker Carlson's "actual malice".

Maybe some hexbear lawyer can chime in on whether this lawsuit is relevant to cases that aren't about celebrities.

Makes perfect sense that they dislike the most revolutionary character and the only lord that is a woman. And I can only imagine that they didn't S rank Sothis because they didn't know they could.

The nifty thing about never claiming to support anything is that you never have to defend anything either. Anti-authoritarians can just say that they oppose the US along with China, the USSR, Cuba, their teachers, and their parents.
