It’s only weird if you keep shaving them for him. Open conversations like that are a sign of great communication and trust!

I know that removing pubes can have a health impact for vagina owners. I don’t know if that holds true for penis owners. That may be something to investigate and advise.

Hitting particularly cold water makes it even worse.

You can improve a skill by visualizing your performance of the skill.

But you need to have the experience beforehand to be able to understand what you’re visualizing.

So - absolutely not.

There’s enough people locally who die that it seems reasonable for me to project that thousands die globally each year because they have no clue how to swim, but other people are there having fun in the water and how hard could it be?

I used my work address. My work is small enough that it’ll filter to me eventually if they snail mail me.

it depends

Jurisdiction is key, of course.

Income taxes (and also sales taxes, in most cases) disproportionately impact lower earners. Someone earning minimum wage likely devotes the majority of their income to cost of living essentials. Conversely, someone earning 10x minimum wage will spend a much lower percentage.

The exclusion level generally is set quite a bit below minimum wages, and the a progressive tax doesn’t always fix that, as cost of living/inflation can outpace legislation very quickly.

The other reason that it’s not entirely fair is that the wealthy don’t earn a salary. They earn dividends and do all kinds of things to avoid having an income. Someone who pulls down $1 million in salary either needs an accountant or earns an additional 10x compensation via stock grants, dividends, etc., which are (in most jurisdictions) taxed very differently than income. In the USA, for example, the top tax bracket (federal) for income is 37%, whereas a stock grant held for 1 year after vesting would be taxed at no more than 20% (and I’m grossly oversimplifying).

1. It’s still in use, but perhaps seasonally or infrequently.
2. It’s gonna get fixed just as soon as I have time.
3. It’s got parts for the other one I have.
4. Might be useful someday. It’s got parts, and the hardware store is 20 miles away.
5. Scrap metal value.
6. The dump is 20 miles away, gonna get a load built up and do a dump run with Jimmy, just as soon as his trailer gets fixed.
7. The dump doesn’t take that thing.
8. Redneck decor.
9. The dump is closed

The current situation with megabytes of JavaScript is pretty bad, but at the time, there was still a fair bit of dialup active, and mobile web was just starting to be a thing - on EDGE and barely 3G. It would take minutes to load.

Also, Steve Jobs had it in for Flash and that’s what ultimately killed it off, I think.

It may be that value prop of 1 with OLED is higher than 2.

That $300/visit doesn’t go to the dr before it passes through several layers of bureaucracy, each of which skims their fee.

Not to say that doctors aren’t well compensated. They are.

It’s not just industry. Now they’re killing the development of skills and knowledge in engineering (hardware, software) and design

USA could have spent money developing an electrified economy but the republicans are focusing on bringing back coal mining and reshoring shoe manufacturing instead.

This admin has set the USA back 100 years.

ETA - what I mean is that China is rampaging on in electrification, developing manufacturing skills, infrastructure, and design/engineering/technology around renewables and electrification. Europe is thinking about it but not going crazy to the extent China is, because legacy - China doesn’t have 100 years of cars and 150 years of trains; they’re building new. USA meanwhile is actively regressing under Republican policies.

They don’t work that effectively. To the effect they do, they make you smell like poison to mosquitoes.

DEET blocks odorant receptors at a distance and chemoreceptors on contact. Icardin blocks odorant receptors.

Community gardens and Internet cooperative are the operating phrases you’re searching for

“If it wasn’t for my medical leave, HP and Apple would be competing for the mobile market!”

It takes a lot of arrogance to be a senior executive; the way he tells the story justifies his position, that’s for sure.

During this same period, he became laser-focused on acquiring Autonomy for $10.3 billion—a software company that fit his transformation vision perfectly. Everything else, including breakthrough mobile technology, felt like a distraction from this software-focused strategy. That Autonomy acquisition later required more than an $8 billion write-down,

Apotheker wrote down 9.2 billion in 11 months and that’s just the stuff the article mentions. I can’t achieve that level of failure in a lifetime.

You missed 2. Sell (IPO)company

I’m not sure what he she actually did as far as divestiture, but evidently he wasn’t the current owner. I wonder to what degree unreasonable growth expectations flushed the company.

They’re running generators to power the data centre. Apparently they’re incredibly inefficient if they’re releasing methane

It’s also a job as you allude to where early retirement needs to be part of the plan. It’s a good job but hard on the body and it’s hard to create an efficient way to reduce the amount of weight that they need to lift in a day.

I know a few who were union and pensioned off, retired in their 50s but that doesn’t change the way their joints feel.

Not sure if it’s better or worse than turd herding.

Thanks for including the 2000 Corolla. I forget how big they’ve gotten.

Bad example on BMW; their recent design language with the beaver tooth grills is terrible
