States can opt out, but it has to be "recognized" by the federal government, which afaict requires legislation. Louisiana's legislature voted for permanent DST this year, but it's on hold waiting for federal blessing.

Is it easier to keep a city of 10k or 100k disease free? If both get "contaminated", which is the bigger cost?

Manufactures and researchers/professors have been trying to push bioreactors onto civil engineers for wastewater treatment for years, because they're infinitely configurable and admittedly are neat, but they can't come remot

Compared to the scale of bioreactor construction proposed in the article, this is actually a attractive investment.

No- this isn't US economics where there's a cost below which land use doesn't make sense for them. These people were cutting and burning these forests just for timber and firewood, and have been for decades. Even in places wh

There's UV light in sunshine. Maybe they should grow the protein outside.

No- large swathes of land are being cleared because it's one of the few resources available to locals to climb out of poverty. If they weren't cutting it down for beef, they'd be cutting it down for something else, like the p

What can a phone OS do to an app that a modern browser can't do to a webpage, as it relates to being a frontend to your bank account?

>"High risk"? Employees require investment beyond their wage, especially on the front end. If they quit or have to be fired before that pays off, it's a loss for the employer. You seem to have an idealistic view of what em

Banking has to be the dumbest "security" industry there is. Restrict apps, but can still log in via browser. I have one bank app that actually says to screenshot a payment screen for your records, while blocking screenshots via ap

It backfires though when you go with things like "Masks don't work" in the name of achieving an end and not actually communicating a simplified version of the truth like "Masks are scarce and the majority of the public d

We found in Bluey a lot of what we were looking for and expected in Daniel Tiger. Especially the "talking to kids in a helpful way" aspect. They're obviously not cut from the same template or are even necessarily trying to be

Firing people in a high position of trust and responsibility who have just broken that trust isn't a petty display of power. And how is it stupid to conclusively resolve an ongoing dispute that intentionally threatens national air trav

Which hurts low-value labor (including those without job experience or who are high risk or have negative history), by making them unemployable. This notion that a "living wage" raises the floor for everyone is BS. The floor stays

Make an extra $5000 to pay $3000 in dues and $3000 in taxes you oppose that those dues lobbied for. You could also drive an hour to save 3¢/gallon on gas.

The argument was whether firing a critical employee made sense if they're critical . An ATC being fired doesn't ground flights any more than an ATC on strike grounds flights. "Stop getting a paycheck" is just a euphem

Wrong. More evidence of Snopes incompetence and bias. The Big Mac index is based on the presumption that Big Macs cost the same to produce in different countries. Using that same currency index as a measure of Big Mac cost difference is

If they're already not showing up, firing them just means the paychecks stop. Once that card (striking) has been played, you lose any leverage afforded by avoiding interruptions of "economy and safety".

Ground infiltration is the least bad thing to happen. Keeping the water near the surface just results in more evaporation loss, and side effects for soil quality like concentration of salts. Water infiltrating the ground will keep the soil

But this was only based on the spike protein. Natural immunity targets far more locations than just the spike. Whereas the Pfizer vaccine only targets that spike. So it presents a scenario with crippled natural immunity vs the full capabili
