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.

You’re not wrong, but it is a bit like bringing Hitler into the conversation.

The US has never had Hitler, feel better now? Can we talk about soda and lemonade now?

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.

Amazon denied that they were doing it as a company (of course they did).

Luckily, the union won this election and it was certified in january of this year

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.

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.

A firehose for comparison is usually minimum 200psi. Close up would hurt really badly but the chances of dying aren’t great. At 20ft away you’ll just get really wet. Their numbers aren’t wrong but the analysis of what the numbers mean is probably pessimistic for the Charizard.

As with most things in the US, California has similar laws to the gdpr (though admittedly not as powerful), so a lot of websites are starting to change a bit in the US because of california.

Crazy to look at that CO2 per capita chart and see that we’re lower now than any time since the 40s at least.

About 25% down from 2008.

In the US this is called constructive dismissal. It’s a tactic used by employers to get away with firing someone but not getting hit by unemployment insurance payments.

The good news for workers is, it still counts as being fired and you still qualify for unemployment if you “quit” under these conditions.

You ever tried taking a train from Atlanta, Georgia, U.S.A. to Barcelona, Spain?

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!”

As opposed to the other bullets that are also heavy metals.

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.

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

NASA has no control of flight paths. The FAA also doesn’t specify sonic-boom allowed flight paths. They just outright ban it (with a few exceptions) for any boom that could reach anywhere in the US.

FAA also doesn’t want to deal with people complaining about sonic booms like they did back in the 50s when this all started (they received tens of thousands of complaints) so they have an interest in making sure NASA lives up to their promises.

Yes, they would reduce the overpressure. By how much I’m not sure, but that’s part of the research.
