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.

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?

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.

It's always been illegal.

There is still a sign at the Portofino hotel in LA with the current record and it is definitely up to date.

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.

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?

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.

That fight took me so long, used up all my health potions, healing spells, a couple of haste scrolls and still only won because somehow, SOMEHOW Gale (the only remaining alive character) hit him with his quarterstaff for like 2hp before the weakness from lava wore off.

When I found out you could just smash him with the forge I was both immensely upset at myself and incredibly proud.

It did mention that several times the town did form posses to go and cull the bears, but didn't do enough because you also had people just feeding the shit out of them.

Correct, it was an F-35B flown by a USMC pilot out of MCAS beaufort.

He takes his job seriously. Why do you think the way he dresses says he doesn't?

You should read the reddit comments on the threads about this. They read very similar to your sarcasm, but are serious.

Also this let's the union put different plants on strike every day/week/month/ etc to further expand damage/paranoia and adjust the strike to wherever the big 3 are moving their supply chain pinch points.

You can change your handle on Twitter. He was minority leader 4 years ago.

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.

I will say that this is both a benefit and a detriment to lemmy in my experience. You have to pay attention to multiple levels of information.

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.

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?

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!"

That's a good idea for a lemmy community. Maybe I'll set one up for that.

Curious what that profession actually is, is it a wife/"homemaker"? Or a paid profession that I couldn't find on Google? I really tried to find that phrasing but in my defense I'm drunk and also Google sucks nowadays.
