I'll be married myself in a month and the mere thought of children at some point in the future has caused me to begin accepting any overtime offered to me. I can't imagine a more powerful motivator except a gun to my head.

You say you have "better reasons", childcare is pretty important when you consider all the downstream effects. Are you certain you are objective on this?

I think the idea stems from the holier than thou attitudes you find from some vegans. The majority probably aren't that way but some are so insufferable that pointing out the hypocritical nature of their actions feels warranted.

That's why you don't want to import from India. I do personally for my medications. I'm willing to risk it for drastically lower costs.

by cmdrfred 9y ago
A lot of those costs are taken indirectly via suppressed wages as many people get insurance via employment. It seems to me that a great deal of effort goes into hiding the costs of services and products from those who are paying them in th

Thanks for the info. I'd be curious to compare the difference between the two screens.

Hand calibrates the screen? Does that mean someone does it by eye each time? I worked as a color matcher the human eye isn't all that sensitive I'd think you'd want to use a colorimeter and use that data to automatically matc

Actually it is, if someone is bumped from a flight the most they can legally ask for (anyone is free to give anyone money if they wish) is $1400 (I believe) or 4X the value of the ticket whatever is less. Delta offered this maximum, and was

Amtrack is essentially the US postal service of passenger rail. "Founded in 1971 to take over most of the remaining U.S. passenger rail services, it is partially government funded yet operated and managed as a for-profit corporation.&q

It's like Al Gore. All this noise about climate change as he circumnavigates the globe in a private jet dozens of times per year. The plebs should take public transit to work though.

I doubt I can afford the best, an extra 100k or two for a few percentage point increase in outcome isn't a deal I'd make personally.

Chemo is often every week or month for a period of time, but the surgery is probably a one off. I'd go for it if I was able.

That's US law, in the US truth is a sufficient argument against libel. This is the UN charter. Do you know of any other documentation that outlines article 12 in more detail? I'm coming up empty.

Is article 12 what you are speaking on? "No one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, family, home or correspondence, nor to attacks upon his honour and reputation. Everyone has the right to the protection of t

Or they fail to thrive like humans have. Early humans were few in number and might have nearly died out a few times. We just got lucky. I've also wondered how a race without something like a hand ever gets around to making complex tool

That would be a great game. Try and trick others into using it while abstaining yourself.

So if the company goes belly up its possible that you'll end up holding the bag? That is horrifying coming from someone who has worked for mismanaged companies.
