if the US starts to orient itself after third world countries, then you're correct: It's really going good. It's all relative. I thought the US would rather compare itself to Europe, Japan, etc. but okay.

thanks for that link. "More than 53 million people— 44 percent of all workers ages 18–64 in the United States— earn low hourly wages", which is defined as earning 2/3 of the median male worker. The median hourly wage for thos

did the article disappear, too? When I click on the link it goes to the main page. Edit: ah, down below someone had a link: https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:8TiKyG...

well, rain-dancing works against covid. What I mean is that being cautious works, just thinking about masks (which means most probably that you're taking also other measures like keeping a good distance to people) helps.

e.g. you like to play a lot of chess. So you COULD theoretically monetize it by making content about chess (youtube, ebooks etc.), maybe even do some events but still.. that's not the same as playing chess which is what is your hobby i

what I find to be even more astonishing: "and about one in eight had died", so 1/8 of those who were in hospital for covid AND discharged afterwards, died within 4 months. We also had another article in the guardian that said

I suspect the video gaming lobby is not as strong as other ones. Nonetheless, regulation (or discussion about it) comes very late to the party, where most of the big players (read: gaming companies, EA etc.) rely heavily on "gambling&q

I am very much an exploration type gamer and I rather liked the game. However, my expectations weren't as sky high as yours and I'm deeply impressed by the style of the game and also by the facial expressions of the characters (an

compassion and empathy shouldn't come from believing in God. It should come from believing that humans are all the same, meaning that you shouldn't do to others what you wouldn't want to be done to yourself because otherwise

now that you're saying it, it does read like you say. I and probably 99% of people read it the way it's meant: it uses just 1% of the energy needed for an equally big LCD, which means it can stay on 100 times as long. They should&

I have no problem believing this. Nonetheless, I'd like to see a good hypothetical example to really understand how it would work. Would the seller have to be in on the deal? Probably, or not?

yeah, I've read a lot about automation here where this was a common argument, also I noticed this in the company I work for as well. If you are in IT or the user yourself and automate something it doesn't really get recognized by

I think it's simply because one article gained a lot of interest and then other websites followed up on it. It IS an interesting topic, especially since the flavour of homeworking is added to it and how it affects the working culture,

Still, the odds of the college bet became way too bad for too many degrees. I mean we are talking about a STEM subject (biology) and a masters in a subject that is directly related to a job (journalism), also with the added benefit of it be

imo the best episode (outside of the sad ones) is A Bicyclops Built for Two (S02E13), the gags are the best here and storyline is great too. second best is The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings (S04E18).

yes, a certain seasonality is very probable. But with the variants we have right now (e.g. B1.1.7 from Kent), summer won't be enough to stem the tide. I'm saying this from a central european perspective (with not enough vaccinatio

this has always been (my) issue with facebook: They assume you want to share everything with everyone of your friends. But most people don't want to do that, they want to share relevant stuff with the people for whom it's relevant

I don't know. Not everyone can just adjust to doing something else. E.g. you mentioned transitioning to sales, managemnt or tech. For sales you have to like to sell (and have a knack for it), it's not for everyone. Management? Not
