unlucky

I had to double check the word for rust in Polish thinking surely that it must be a typo, but no. Rdza is indeed rust in Polish. Kurwa język.

Edit: apparently a lot of other Slavic languages are similar, e.g. the equivalent of rżawczyna in Russian (don't have a Russian keyboard). Kurwa języki.

So geht's häufig auch in den USA. Bundesstaatlich mag es "legal" sein, Cannabis zu besitzen oder zu konsumieren, aber einige örtlichen Polizei/Anwaltschaften/Beamter tun ihr Bestes, um es de facto unmöglich zu machen, dass man sich in so einer Lage befinden kann, ohne gegen irgendwelches andere Gesetz verstoßen zu haben.

Legitimately grappling with this now in the chemical industry. I don't work directly with petrochem, but my salary is essentially subsidised by plastics manufacturing, including cracker technology. Can I somehow move the needle toward better technologies in a fundamentally conservative sunk-cost asset-based industry? Or, am I better off quitting, trying to find a new job while being legally barred from talking about work-related accomplishments, and hoping the whole thing somehow goes under on its own? It keeps me up at night.

cost whom?

By convention, compound SI units (e.g. N•m) are separated by a space or multiplication dot and are not just smashed together. The lack of such a separator in the above example implies the "milli" prefix.

m•Hz ~ m/s with implied periodicity, mHz would be milliherz

While we're intentionally avoiding the joke, a space should be placed between the number and the unit, preferably a non-breaking one.

moment, das kommt mir bekannt vor...

What a self-impressed way to say that openness and contact with people of different beliefs are more likely to make you change your own beliefs.
