There's some strange rules around flood insurance. I don't have a mortgage but I do have pretty fancy insurance from a private insurance company. Flood insurance is mandatory, or at least mandatory per their policy. They admit tha

What have I contributed? I am now more confused than I was originally.

I found that greatly amusing, though I'm not sure that the comment was just concerning physical traits. After all, who doesn't like honey?

I also appreciate the effort that went into some of those things. Two of my favorite documentary series are the world wars in color (one series for each). When they were first aired, there was a special episode with the director and artists

I am entirely unfamiliar with California's regulations. But, unless the penalty is insignificant, it seems unlikely that they'd flagrantly violate the law. It seems very likely that they were advised by legal council and followed

Alright, I have to ask. How did he make him look like Pooh? When I think of Pooh, I think calm to the point of naive, not very smart but sometimes philosophical, friends with all, and very fond of honey. I'm well and truly confused. Th

Peaceful and constrained to whom? I guess a better question, so that I can understand, is when are you considering their ascension to have begun? Also, the person you responded to is Chinese. I suppose they can be patronizing if they want?

Your link indicates they aren't covered by the WARN act. It is fewer than 499 employees and less than 33% at a single facility.

I am an investor in Tesla. This doesn't worry me at all. Culling 1% isn't a financially bad choice and people are eager to work there. Replacing the employees should be pretty easy. It sounds a bit rough but sometimes you need to

Popularized by Jack Welch, called Rank-and-Yank. He has a couple of books but I'll not be making the effort to link them.

One of my favorites was dancing wildly around a fire in Somalia. We didn't even share much of a language and the alcoholic beverages where some horrific concoction whose only saving grace was that it was efficiently effective. Ah, but

Technically, yes. Legally? I'd assume mens rea still applies. I am not a lawyer, this is not legal advice. If you wish to provide material support to ISIS, consult a qualified legal professional in the appropriate jurisdiction.

I doubt efficiency is their primary concern. It seems that it is more likely to be efficacy that concerns them most. Namely, does it generate more income than it would without it? The answer to that is probably yes. After all, it isn't

Ah, neat. I wasn't sure if you meant world class as something of your creation or something which you'd enjoyed.

It's a unique writing style but I'm not sure they were insinuating that all females are interested in spending his money, only that he had no interest in those who were. It is topical, if a bit abrasive.

I am fond of telling people that I have danced on six continents and that I'm actually a horrible dancer. That doesn't stop me from dancing, however. I will get out on the floor, in the middle of a circle in the desert, around a f

Do you have an example of 'world-class stuff?' I am just trying to understand.

I am not sure I understand your questions. So, I will try to answer them. If you feel my answers aren't adequate, feel free to ask more detailed questions. No, problems where someone uses a theory isn't enough. They should underst

It's also important to note that, unlike the movies, most bases don't actually have a lot of people walking around armed. Combat gear is stowed and firearms are in the armory under lock and key. Most jobs don't actually requi

I've been thinking about that since a comment I made a while back. It was made here in response to an article about the CIA black sites. In that comment, I said torture was unacceptable and more so when it was done in my name. I have s

I'm a mathematician. I have taught mathematics, albeit briefly, at the university level. I disagree with the person you responded to, but want to thread this here. Mathematics can be taught at early ages. Unfortunately, we tend to teac

Kinda neat, isn't it? We actually approved a change in our constitution because of the current situation. Our current govenor, he's an idiot, was elected with 34% of the votes. The previous election saw him win with something like

I think it's important to remember that expertise in one domain doesn't imply expertise in another. It is a bit more broad than that and a recent example was when I bowed out of offering an opinion and explicitly stated that I was

Yeah, I'd think it'd have to be a not-for-profit enterprise with some sort of forced independence and verification. I keep mulling it over and thinking that it's be simple to do, but each idea I come up with finds me also fin

From your description, that's not lying. That's saying you were involved in those processes for that amount of time. If you were working directly for a client is immaterial, as you were still working during the downtime. More impo

By the same token, there exist many people who seek reasons to be offended. They will find offense no matter what you say. They will clamor in groups to be more outraged than the last. I try to disengage from those types of people. I'm

Hmm... I generally only leave positive reviews for goods and services. My thinking has been that satisfied people don't generally take the time to write reviews, while unhappy people will invest the time and energy. I figure that addin
