This is going to be a tough sell to the significant percentage of US Congresspeople who vocally support a man who currently vocally supports Putin's actions.

> Such ranges would render it pointless They would surely make current employees ask, "So what do I have to do to move from my 45k to the theoretical 75k max?"

I work in temps as low as 5 C and as high as 34 C in this old Dutch house attic. It's not at all pleasant, but there's no upgrading this rented place. It's not worth it for the owner as they will never recover their costs b

Yeah, when I see half of a job req talking about all the little perks, I assume they are compensating for something (lower than expected pay). I can buy my own snacks.

For a business world supposedly in love with the concept of “free market”, it amazes me that management cannot figure out why they aren’t filling spots. Some combination of: pay is too low, working conditions are not desirable, problem doma

Penalty doesn't have to mean imprisonment. It could mean a big fine or a lengthy community service judgement. Whatever it is, it should benefit the general population at the cost of the individual who was reckless or aggressively sel

Social media execs certainly are creating harm, often knowingly. But that doesn't justify blowing up your nearest AT&T building.

Most drivers do not take their driving job seriously. We all should. As soon as we are near other drivers, our small mistakes can have big consequences. If penalties were measured by cost, driving accidents would be much more expensive.

"involuntary manslaughter". This will incur a big penalty, and the theory is that there was not intent on behalf of the person who commited the crime.

An illegal action which causes harm to (many) others should come at a cost. Maybe the cost can just be an inconvenience and a bit of public embarrassment, such as is the case here. I absolutely would apply this to people who disrupt a flig

Maybe that's it. You know the runs, and you have the expectation of being good. But on a board, it's like physics are no longer the same.

Plus on skis, you can have a proper "yard sale".

I always found the telemark guys silly looking, but I think it might be a nice peaceful way to do things :). I would try it!

Perhaps our natural inability to control our low-level biological systems is on average better at keeping us alive. After all, if we could control any system without really understanding all the interactions and repercussions, we probably

I need this. But I'm not sure I'm willing to take the risk. After a season of enjoying black and double black diamond runs on skis (including my favorite, 65cm short skis), I tried snowboarding. Never in my life of sports have I

Writing for the sake of writing. But I'll get to that in a moment... "the dog has to be pushed outside" What? No, if it's that cold, you keep the dog against your body, and you both benefit. Anyway, in these times of c

I'm waiting and hoping for a good VR work solution. This would look really stupid, but I can imagine a split keyboard with each half strapped to my upper leg, VR glasses, and... well that's all! For the last 15 years, almost all

I did the big house, three cars, long crappy commutes in traffic, and no visible nature other than manicured lawns. No matter how much nice stuff I put into my house, or how nice my car was (I _did_ love my enormous Lexus!), it wasn't

Big monitor and standing desk -- those are the two things I miss when I travel/work. The monitor can be purchased locally usually and then sold/given away when leaving, but the desk is something I haven't solved yet.

Getting rid of stuff "properly" can be an overwhelming challenge. I know I can live with just two backpacks. So now I have a lot of decent/nice/expensive stuff that I don't really need but don't really know ho

I have been a happy paying Zoho customer for years. $4/month, and I have a dozen domain names setup and tons of aliases and catchalls. If you have a problem, customer service is responsive and helpful… actual humans.

I was thinking today about programming as I'm onboarding at a new client right now and coming up to speed with their product/codebase. Programming is so little about typing code, at least if done right. It is really about making

Something. Anything. There were so few options, that trying something other than "previous" seemed worth a chance.

Same. And given the... simplicity of this "art", I figured this first image was all we get. It's no banana on the wall.
