I don't find the time argument very compelling. It takes just a minute or two to boil water, you throw in the rice, and simmer for another twenty. Sure, it takes twenty two minutes, but twenty of those are just waiting. Normally I s

There seemed to be a movement in that direction a few years back, but I haven't seen anything in awhile.

By "not everywhere" you mean... Massachusetts? Benefits like paid sick leave are rounding errors compared to health care.

What are you citing? There's nothing in that article about hours or benefits that accrue to FTEs only. Did you even read it?

by gozur88 9y ago
Not in the US. Prior to the ACA there was no requirement to give FTEs health care.

I don't see how Surplus Value applies here. From Marx's theoretical standpoint 100 people working 1 hour is the same as 1 person working 100 hours. In the real world there's nothing mysterious about employers preferring to g

Tasteful, healthy food doesn't take that much effort, but you do have to know a little bit about cooking.

Plants are pretty tolerant of solar radiation. Far more so than humans. In any event, what you'd probably do is use reflected light to filter out high energy particles.

The atmosphere of Mars contains nitrogen. It could be extracted and concentrated to provide the same percentage as earth's.

It could also be encrypted at the cable endpoints, denying a snooper even the stuff that's normally unencrypted. Might be worth the cost, too, since then there's no reason for people to cut your cables.

I thought those George Foreman grills were a gimmick (come on, they were selling it on informercials!), but a buddy of mine bought one and he swears by it.

>Lee also notes in her study that, on closer inspection, food deserts don’t actually exist in the U.S., at least not as a national problem—on average, poor neighborhoods have more grocery stores than wealthier neighborhoods. http:/

A pound of uncooked white rice is $0.69, and it has 1696 calories, which works out to 24.6 calories per penny. That's about 19x better by your metric.

It's cheaper to buy fresh food than junk food. If you're buying junk food it's because you don't have a place to cook or you're too lazy to cook.

The line gets fuzzy when scenes are added to the show purely for product placement. In my mind that's an ad.

Is that still true? My parents must have over a hundred channels.

by gozur88 9y ago
If you step back a bit from that game you realize it's tickling the same mental circuits you use in programming. If I had kids I'd definitely try to get them interested. SpaceChem even more so.

That works for the email, but not the user name. Going through the entire process and then telling the new user "That one's already taken, please start over" is not going to make people happy.

Pension spiking happens everywhere. Here in California we had a retired fire chief drawing a $400k pension because he basically worked around the clock the year he retired.

>So unless that counts something other than the hourly employees, or counts pension contributions as salary (in which case it is just an argument against pensions), I have a hard time believing it. Usually if the figure includes benefits
