Good for you? Not everyone lives where jobs are plentiful. There are a lot of reasons a perfectly competent person may struggle to find a new job if they lose their current one. There are plenty of reasons a person may not be able to floa

It really depends on the numbers here. Were the companies paying say $12/hour in current terms and the union was asking for more or were they trying to get $35/hr raised beyond what was reasonable for the work?

I'm only familiar with Russian, but "es" for "to be" feels weird too. And it's used where Russian would just omit it. Are there Slavic languages that are more liberal with it? And I feel like some form of Cy

Just anecdotal, I knew the name "Deepwater Horizon", but was very aware that BP was the responsible party. There was a lot of discussion of not buying gas from BP stations for a while afterwards and it became a common subject aga

It's more that it's possibly ending up in the hands of the Chinese government. Not that it's good when it ends up in the hands of Google, but that's less of a national security concern.

The article is terrible and at least the 2015 study makes bigger claims than they really ought to considering the scope and sample size. >Fructose enhances liver/body weight ratio and kidney weight; soybean oil is protective in sple

I don't follow. Torture doesn't have to be used as part of an interrogation to be torture. And in the noisy neighbors scenario, are they just loud as a by-product of their self-centered preferences or are they making noise intent

I feel like someone whose business is freezing cord blood should probably cite some sources when discussing guidelines for delayed cord clamping, which reduces the amount of blood left in the umbilical cord. Honestly, I don't know muc

My work earplugs aren't rated for super high decibels, but they're a step up from the disposable ones most folks I work with use. They're definitely a solid step up from what most folks are going to buy from the hardware sto

Also, very importantly, these employees were not informed that they would be reviewing this content until after the on boarding process. It seems like quite a few of the workers even relocated from places such as South Africa to Kenya befo

Very true. I just got burned when I was younger buying a used car that was under a year old. Everything went wrong with the damn thing and apparently it was just a crappy year for that model. I'm a little gun shy about buying someth

As far as the shadow, I don't care enough to do the math, but they are exceptionally tall. It's trippy when you stand under one. Google gives me about 90 meters tall for some of the modern ones. I'd imagine they could cast

I'd rather stick to a couple years old at the most recent. My husband loves his old Civic though. If it ever gives out on him, it's good to know there'll be some options out there.

That appears to be a quote from another microbiologist who wasn't involved with the study. Even he only says it "seems to be" rather than "it is".

I don't know if JC Penneys counts as a large retailer anymore or if petsmart ever did, but both of those stores do eat the cost of unsold goods to my knowledge. Lowes does as well, except for certain types of products such as live pla

There's a lot we don't know about prions and a heck of a lot I don't know, but I would be surprised if prions turned out to be something substantially different from a misfolded protein. I've never heard of prions target

I definitely see where you're coming from, but viruses do have modes of transmission that evolve over time to counter immune defenses. Unless I'm mistaken, with prions, you either have to ingest infected tissue or apparently pric

Pearl-clutching is an established idiom that's at least a good deal older than me. Honestly it's more likely that you haven't heard it because it's getting dated than because it's recent. Usually I hear it in the
