It's not a joke. This is a strategic reserve for them.

One factor that a lot of people in this discussion are missing is that buildings are primarily built to resist vertical forces, because gravity is by far the largest force any building (or bridge) ever experiences. Having a large force stri

LOL, that figure is clearly off. That's double the population of the entire state! Per another comment it's much closer to correct for the annual number of vehicle crossings.

All pilots are "harbor pilots". Crew members who control the ship outside of port are just called crew members (captain, first mate, 2nd Officer, that kind of thing), never pilot.

They're talking distances much longer than marathons even.

Real estate is a pretty good analogy for this, actually. You own domains on gTLDs in the same way that you can own property, but you have to pay your annual property taxes (domain registration fees) else you can lose it. But owning a doma

It's not true of gTLDs though. You actually own those domains, and they can't be taken away from you (barring extreme circumstances) so long as you pay the registration fees every year. But domains on ccTLDs can be taken away fro

Because they collaborated with the prosecution. Without collaboration it's entirely possible that no one would've been found guilty.

Yeah, that's a lot more work and required tools than just taking something out of a shop. A lot easier to get busted too if you're walking around with those tools.

It's much harder to steal out of a vending machine than it is to grab something off a shelf in a store and walk out.

by CydeWeys 3y ago
The only kind of vending machine low maintenance enough that I think it can count as passive is digital vending machines that only take electronic payment, e.g. a Bitcoin ATM. There's no physical goods to restock so once it's in

It's right in the relevant sense here, namely that there is a hierarchy in place that you will face consequences for disrespecting.

Employment contracts don't really matter in the US. They can fire you for just about any reason they want at any time, regardless of whether or not it's mentioned in your so-called employment contract.

Who says it's not a problem in other companies? I think it just doesn't make the news as much. At my previous company, at an offsite retreat, one of the guys got drunk and started chewing out the company's founders and the m

You shouldn't be yelling at your boss's boss's boss in a large company forum. That's rank insubordination, and easily punishable with firing. Hell it could be punished with much worse than insubordination in other kinds

That 69 figure cannot be remotely close to accurate. Millions of civilians died from mass bombing campaigns alone, which certainly killed many journalists working for local outlets in those cities! Each atomic bomb on its own probably kille

I haven't had auto insurance in nearly ten years (because I don't own a car myself), and I gotta say, this is increasingly saving me more and more money over time. Everything about cars in the US is just getting so expensive (incl

And if it's actually systematically charging e.g. a specific minority more than other people, it will get caught in a hurry and end up being hugely costly for the company. This kind of stuff is easy to catch. A single person typing som

No you're not. It means you're removed from both the numerator and the denominator. By no means does it mean you count as employed; that would be silly.

Which is why hospitals are stocked with "medical vodka" (actually just regular vodka) to administer to patients suffering from severe withdrawals. It can take a few days to get down to surviving on 0 BAC, though of course unpleas

Then why are saying they're measuring "unemployment" when they're actually measuring underemployment? Words mean things and they're choosing the wrong words specifically in order to mislead. Also, tracking poverty

NYC is way better than Barcelona, sorry. Let me know when y'all can figure out how to make sidewalks that you can walk straight along to your destination, rather than having to go diagonally along a big asphalt parking lot at every si

Yeah, but you don't have to "no-life the right hobbies" to be satisfied in NYC because there's SO MUCH to do. You can just be a normal person who isn't hyper obsessed with one particular hobby.

by CydeWeys 3y ago
Well that's why we do these high-paying tech jobs.

by CydeWeys 3y ago
Yeah, it's just downright misleading to qualify someone working a full time job making $24k/yr as unemployed. The US national minimum wage, believe it or not, only amounts to $15k/yr for full time employment (40 hrs/wk!)

The Starship test flights are very much not boring yet. Those are worth tuning into.

What are you talking about, NYC is great! You could live your whole life there and never run out of things to do.

It's too costly to potentially make that mistake again. So the solution guarantees it will never happen again.
