For what it's worth, I was agreeing with you by posting their standard service pistol. However, I am also quite familiar with firearms, and strongly disagree with your belief that this is "the proper technique," it's jus

For reference, the LAPD standard issue pistol seems to be a FN 509 MRD-LE, with a magazine capacity of 17. Because police seem to be trained to empty their entire magazine any time they fire, that would be about in line with this number.

Hmm, this seems like a mixed bag. Exercise is great, but given your mention of it becoming addictive, it seems like you're replacing one thing with another - there are plenty of people who spend too much time in the gym, or marathon tr

According to the "quick bulletin" on the bottom, this seems to be a downstream effect of a magnitude 6.9 earthquake that occurred. I suppose that will generally be the case for a tsunami, something usually drives it. In this case,

For what it's worth, unless I'm missing something, this was introduced late last March (2021) and has gone no where since. So slightly different climate at the time.

Maybe I'm being too close-minded, but paying $100/mo for porn seems absurd.

This has been my experience as someone who has worked at a variety of large and small companies. Do you have a (generally B2B) product to market, with fixed release increments, and features set by some external marketing / sales team?

It's funny you linked to buyrealgas - I had been trying to avoid them since they seem a bit.. radically anti-ethanol ("first of all, we're literally burning our food!"). Anyway... never heard of using av gas in a lawn mo

I might be naively interpreting this, but isn't "ownership" of a brand different than manufacturing? For instance, TTI owns Milwaukee, Ryobi... etc, but if I understand correctly, they each still manufacture independently. Th

For what it's worth, what I would call the "fake SUV" from Ford (the Escape) is listed starting @27k. The Explorer, you might call a real SUV, starts @35k.

I bought a new F-150, XL edition (lowest) in 2020 for 29k, just for reference. On the Ford site, it appears the new models at a similar trim level are about 31k. Most people don't buy the baseline "work truck," which is what

Definitely, and I don't mean it to sound like these people couldn't be making better choices, but once you've dug your hole deep enough, it's hard to ever get to a point where you can be "safe" from this sort o

This feels like the correct decision, but not one of much value. Jim Thorpe died in 1953, nearly 70 years ago. Their previous ruling was in 1982, nearly 30 years after his death. I'm not sure who gained from the ruling in either case,

Yeah, I was thinking about this process as well (did it about 10 years ago now when it was still E-lance, I think... wow). I guess it wouldn't be that hard to fake your way through the process, maybe the level of effort is worth it f

Could you expand on why you feel this is the case? If conditions are "good," in my opinion, adding a union would likely add tension between employer / employee and add costs to both sides. I guess if nothing immediately chang

by shortstuffsushi 4y ago
In an ideal sense, yes. Unions as we know them (including in this case[0]) tend to operate as separate entity / business. There are the employees, the employer, and the union. The three often have little or no overlap, so it just becom

No, if you (as a contractor or employee) make more than $600 from the same person/business, you'd be obligated to report it, which would in turn make them obligated to report it, even if they didn't realize you had done more

You have commented this on a handful of subthreads, but I feel like you're missing the goal of the argument. If you want "instant recharge," gas wins. I understand that charging overnight will work in most cases, I understand
