My gym has about 15 different clocks on the walls, and they all tell a different time, some of them egregiously so. Every few months (often after I mention it), someone will go around and fix the worst ones.

There are several time limits, but I believe that one of them stops when pulling back from the gate. i.e. once the the plane is moving, they're granted several X more hours, but if they haven't left yet, then they've timed ou

As others have said, it depends on the authentication method. Some users may not even have a password. They'll be sent an email or sms with an authenticated link. So to put a password box in front of them may be confusing. But it'

So I lived in a building that had a small elevator and a tiny, virtually useless, mirror just to abide by regulations. Even though is was a small elevator, it was easy to walk in without noticing someone was already in there. The bigger mir

No, it's not a good point. Cows are rarely grown in "meadows". Free-range beef is a minority, and most cow feed comes from monoculture fields. And it takes more monoculture grain to grow a pound of beef versus a pound of vege

I'd be pissed off if I were a TSLA stock owner. Is Twitter paying Tesla to contract out these employees for their work? Otherwise, it's tons of thousands of dollars Tesla is pissing away on behalf of the CEO's side-hustle.
