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.

10th amendment specifies exactly what you’re saying, that nothing explicitly written is up to the people or states.

That is what the original intention of the states was, was to allow a diversity of systems under one overarching banner.

Cannonball run is 2906 miles. Assuming most of it is across highways at 65 mph, (a lot of the west is faster but the east is slower), you’d get it in about 44 hours. With a 10-minute delay every 300 miles you’d add about 2 hours for a total of 46.3 hours.

You want to stop every 16 hours of driving (since you don’t care about DOTs 10-hour limit) so it takes you slightly less than 3 days. Or less than half the stated “week”.

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.

This “pie in the sky” train system is currently using like none of the federal budget. Find something else to cut money from.

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.

Imagine not blowing your fireballs and lightnings against level 1 mice when you’re level 10 and making your fighters regret running in headfirst.

305m is 1000 feet. The USS ENTERPRISE was 342m or 1,123 feet.

A modern day FORD class carrier is 1092 ft or 333m.

For personnel comparison, ENTERPRISE held ~5000 people and a FORD class has between 4-5000 people.

The fact that NCC-1701 only had like 1000 people is…a big difference.

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.

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

You know what also wasn’t a word?

Literally every word that is now a word.

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.

Oftentimes being in a specialized field is a double edged sword for your own wage too. Sure, there’s not many of you for them to hire, but also there’s not many of them for you to go to and if you piss any of them off, you’re screwed out of any future job.

Making a union even more important I think.

You know those aren’t necessarily the ones that are the most common, just a random list that some pollster put together, right? And that the whole point of the list was to show political differences among current political topics, right?
