Sure, radioactivity. But, Le grand K is made of naturally occurring platinum of which most of the isotopes are observationally stable[0] and the one isotope that isn't has a half-life of 6.5×10^11 and only makes up 0.012% [1]. So yeah

Having two sidewalls available such that u brackets work is probably not a good use case for this hanger. Usually it means you're inside a closet? But I agree you could build/attach small sidewalls or simply blocks and use this u

ehhhhhhh i'm not so sure about it. I think the details matter. Curtain rods are typically 1-4" from the wall. This product looks like it works best <0.5" [0] from the wall otherwise it's possible the hanger will move

I argue: it goes back further than that - Chernobyl and 3-mile island[0]. Deeply ingrained in the collective psyche that nuclear - when it goes wrong goes _really_ wrong. That really set the tone for where US was willing to go and even if i

You're right, but only if it's in the employment contract. It's not a legal requirement to have one to hire someone [0]. Way more commonly, severance is part of a termination contract, and thus it would not be here. [0] http

I realize one possible misconception is severance vs "gardening leave" [0]. They look really similar, but legally entirely different. In "gardening leave" you're still an employee and on payroll until the last day.

Errrr how? [Edit] Legally how is it. Not just because it's commonly measured in months of wages

It's severance where most of the misunderstanding is. But yes this grandparent post is mostly correct. If severance was not built in to any loan contact (it never is). Then creditors are paid first. It would be interesting to know how
