It wasn't a reasonable position since we've known cats and dogs (and everything else) could catch it. (Among other reasons, but this is the most obvious for anyone even slightly familiar with previous vaccination efforts.) For a v

Engineering firms have commonly done 4x 9 hour days with the remainder (to hit 40) either half day Friday or alternating Friday's off. I've always enjoyed it. Plus it makes adjustments easier and feel less burdensome - where if yo

They were happy to cancel and refund. I don't think small claims would magically create inventory or mobolize it in my direction if it existed. It's not anything wrong other than claiming something was in stock when it wasn't

It's this, but it's also more direct and indirect regulation. For example: Natural gas compressors now need to be electrically powered instead of NG powered. Added cost, but doesn't reduce total gas burned. Oil companies are

Yea, I've got family members who personally would do it with generators and window air conditioners. They'd take a trailer with them when evacuating, and load it up with everything they could find locally in stock before returning

Most users (especially county assessors) of high res imaging use aircraft since it's cheaper. There are other benefits, like smaller path width and reduced angular distortion. And flying when you know there isn't cloud cover, if t

But this isn't Uber or even crypto. There are clear definitions, regulations, and penalties for operating as a dollar holding/ transferring financial institution. Especially since the percentage paid as a fee makes it essentially

The article mentions the timing and aircraft size being right for NGAD, and take it a step further and suggest Lockheed's loud then quiet marketing of an "SR-72" might also fit. Whether re-purposed/ modified as an NGAD c

I'm still curious how these sites skirt banking regulations, for what is essentially what PayPal was originally (advertised as sending/ transferring money, but between delays and dark patterns, it really ends up in an account unde

It doesn't help that the govt openly uses funding as legal justification to set regulations for which they otherwise wouldn't have jurisdiction. Medicare/ medicaid funding already has a stranglehold over providers, to where &

The only tangible benefit I've ever heard of was qualifying for contracts with diversity quotas. Similar for setting up 49% subsidiaries where the wife (wives) of the owners collectively own 51%, to qualify for minority ownership for

Yea, like for hurricanes, there used to be local independent gas stations that "price-gouged", but you could at least go get 5 gallons for 5x the normal price if you really needed it. With price-gouging laws, it means they run out

It's hit or miss. I placed an order on their business website for the note, along with another dozen items, paying for next day shipping. The ship date got pushed back a week at a time for over 2 months before it just timed out and aut

But difference shouldn't matter as long as both make sufficient progress and graduate. If that requires help outside of school to do, it's still a "more education" argument. Performance/success in high school might

Arguably it's scientific cancer treatments so frequently failing that lead the vast number of cancer quacks to quackery in the first place.

Which is fine. The problem is when you would expect someone else to to have faith just because you do. Or equally, that you would expect someone to find an explanation compelling just because you did. People who don't understand speak

There was a long legal battle arguing that there were no race-based admission quotas, but that race was a factor taken into account in order to achieve desired levels of diversity. Or something equally nonsensical.
