That's fair, but the boards of nonprofits are as corruptible (I'm reluctant to use that word since we're talking about fairly standard practices, not outright crime, but whatever) as those in the corporate world. But I wouldn

I only ever heard of HPUX workstations catching fire. No idea about their servers.

I suspect abuse is more prevalent at the low end, among nonprofits that don’t do much. I stand by the point of my original post: People often underestimate how much the leaders of nonprofits pay themselves. These are figures you can look

I'm sure I could fast, but that's actually a separate issue from what you previously wrote: > For me I can easily skip an entire day of meals. You mentioned fasting during Ramadan. I had to look it up, it apparently allows a pr

The funny part is, given the geographic proximity and free trade relationship with China, New Zealand could become EV-dominant pretty much as quickly as they want. And as the infrastructure allows - is that a limiting factor? Without tariff

> go read the ingredients list on a supermarket burger Perhaps a tangent, but they're not required to list "chlorine" as an ingredient if the slaughterhouse washes the beef with bleach to kill bacteria.

I know a few fitness people and they've all moved past being overly worried about an ingredient list that includes words with multiple syllables. On the contrary, they usually seem pretty content to find out what all the oddities on an
