They said they had a hard time finding men who would cry.

They also didn’t test women sniffing women’s tears, or men sniffing men or women sniffing men, or animal tears.

They left a lot of variables out of this one.

Any job with a clearance. Many of those just don’t test in CA though unless they want you fired because otherwise they’d never be able to hire anyone.

Biden did tell Israel not to make the same mistake the US did after 9/11. He also has been pressuring them to reinstate access to things like water, food, shelter, and telling Israel not to kill civilians.

Since there’s no minimum PTO requirement, yes but it has to be marked as sick time. Most employers in a state like California though know that they’re going to be the bottom of the barrel if they don’t offer more so they do.

Usually those other days though are just vacation days.

Most other countries have those days on top of unlimited sick time.

Most states don’t even get 5, or 3.

The states that have mandates are (usual suspects incoming):

Arizona - 40 hours

California - 40 hours

Colorado - 48 hours

Connecticut - 40 hours

D.C. - 7 days

Maryland - 64 hours hrs

Massachusetts - 40 hrs

Michigan - 40 hrs

Nevada - 0.01923 hours per hour worked (works out to approximately 40 hours if you work a standard 40hrs/week, 52 weeks/yr

New Jersey - 40 hrs

New Mexico - 64 hrs

New York - 56 hrs

Oregon - 40 hrs

Rhode Island - 40 hrs

Vermont - 40 hrs

Washington - 40 hrs

Some cities/counties have their own requirements but I’m not going to list those. I wish the US did better on Healthcare, but, as with everything, it’s the blue states dragging the country forward kicking and screaming.

Even if you know what you’re doing, you’ll probably go bankrupt after winning. Annuity is, as you said, a stopgap against stupidity.

Modern reactor design also pretty much makes runaway reactions nearly impossible, as in, you have to actually try to fuck it up.

Even Fukushima didn’t have a runaway reaction, it just lost coolant.

Sounds like they should join a union… maybe one that respects picket lines, like the teamsters.

Don’t be a scab, don’t deal with the “inconvenience” of people being hurt by scabs.

Lawn use of water in Utah (by all entities, residential, government, and business) is between 6-8%, half of your “generous 15%” https://utahrivers.org/are-we-running-out-of-water#:~:text=Outdoor lawn watering in our,of Utah’s total water use.

And that use is spread across millions of people. Even if you cut lawn use by 75%, you’re cutting at most 6% of the states use. Or can cut agriculture use by 10% and get a larger reduction in overall water use.

We don’t need alfalfa. We don’t need flood irrigation. We also don’t need Lawns, but that is such a small percentage you might as well tell people to stop flushing their toilet when they shit.

Lawns aren’t really the issue for utah. Agriculture uses something like 70+% of the water, and a lot of that is flood irrigation or other inefficient irrigation. The water is mostly used for crops like alfalfa that get exported to places like China.

The governor, unsurprisingly, is heavily invested in alfalfa farming, so do the math.

Lean philosophy is supposed to account for those dice-rolling moments. It’s not just “keep nothing in inventory”, there is supposed to be risk assessment involved.

The problem is that leadership doesn’t interpret it that way and just sees “minimizing inventory increases profit!”

F35A is now down to about $70 million/piece now, which further demonstrates the point of costs coming down with mass production I think.

It originally was more like $150 million.

“I’ve only been to explicitly adult shows which is why I think they’re adult shows”

Of course if you only go to gay clubs with heavy drinking you’d think those shows are for adults. Because those shows ARE for adults.

I personally consider the violence contained in the Bible much worse for children than anything I’ve seen in a drag show, even the more “adult” ones.

Australian taskmaster is a treasure and there’s nothing you can say to convince me otherwise.

California has a system for this too. They put an extra box on your compressor that allows the utility to shut it off longer but in return you get a discount on your summer bills (whether or not they actually use it).

The steepest discount is something like they can shut it off for up to 6 hours per “event” and you get $180. They have other ones though like up to 15 minutes every half hour for up to 6 hours total and you get $90.

I’ve told many (usually new) design engineers that they’re stupid for asking for 0.001" tolerance on parts when they only need 0.005 “or 0.010”. The difference between 0.010" and sub-10 micron is easily a factor of 100 in most parts, ESPECIALLY when you’re talking larger steel components like panels on a freaking car.
