@LeeEvansBirding@RobertT84256698@HighwaysSEAST Which is good, but it still took multiple hours to get out (I was one of those trapped. It took around 6 hours to get out. Meaning that I was relatively lucky, since some unlucky sods took over 7 to get out.) Which is more than a little farcial.
@JeanLucPicorgi @BretDevereaux@JoritWintjes I suspect it's a bit of both- in that for other factors to matter, you generally do need a place of comparative safety to retreat to. (Insurgencies too- there, the place of safety is provided by the cover of the civilian population they're hidden within, willingly or otherwise)
@ThomasKilmer4 @erin_bartram @BretDevereaux You'd think so, but the problem isn't finding potential candidates for TT positions- there's 20-30 applicants per position on the low end- it's that positions that would have traditionally been Tenure Track are increasingly done by adjuncts instead.
@ThageGames@AlcatorSK @dellaR1P @jasonschreier Also, Wall Street can screw over the economy. Activision Blizzard can't. Given Activision are accused of defrauding investors, it would not surprise me if Wall Street wants someone's head on a platter.
@AuroraHalsey@Omnissiah9 Bit of both. The fire suppression system apparently has it's own generator. Unfortunately, that was the generator that caught fire.
@C4Cypher@SVCommand Yeah, it's the kind of story that I imagine would be absolutely hilarious hearing about somebody else having to deal with... not so much when you are the one that has to deal with the problem.
@C4Cypher@SVCommand Technically it was the fire department at fault for the water, not onsite fire suppression systems. Nevertheless, I can imagine management is likely having a stroke about all this, yes.
