If someone can prove me wrong and show me my mistake in any thought or action, I shall gladly change. I seek the truth, which never harmed anyone: the harm is to persist in one’s own self-deception and ignorance.
Good news everyone! We all DO have this problem… It’s just most obvious in China because they industrialized and urbanized more rapidly than anyone else AND had this stupid legal policy.
Industrialization, urbanization and improving healthcare also significantly drops births, to below the replacement rate of 2.1. The whole world is on this path, with China, Japan, South Korea, Germany and Russia leading the way.
Watched it live and I kept waiting for him to yell “Get off my lawn!”
Didn’t they find parts from an Electra in the surf on the edge of a South Pacific atoll several years ago, with no other Electra ever reported lost in the area, and signs of decades old brief human habitation on the island?
I’m honestly surprised that the US cares about it… There’s near zero economic or strategic concerns left in that region for the US.
They’re called Zoomers.
And the outlets don’t make the connection that their readers are telling them to stop shoveling AI-generated garbage at them?
It’s not enough to just own a rocket company… the rocket company also needs to have rockets.
Should probably have dictated the ultimatum first, before firing anyone, so they could self-select the departures. Then, if it’s not enough, cut some more to get the final numbers the manglers want.
Travel between worksites is on the clock.
We’ve demonstrated for years now that home is a worksite.
I’m happy to drive in to the company office from my personal office, so long as my commute time is on the clock.
Eroding that boundary can also be in your favor… I can step away from the desk for a few minutes to start my laundry, prep something for dinner, or even just go to the grocery store during “lunch” because I can bring the food straight back home since I’m not far away from home at an office. Working remotely is giving me back time. And this isn’t time “lost” from the employer’s perspective… I’m just doing something useful with my break times rather than wandering down to the water-cooler to chat with other employees.
The trick is to allow only the erosion that you find acceptable. That’s a matter of personal organization and self-control, and each person has to set up a system that works best for them. I use a spare bedroom as my office, and I only go in there during working hours. Everything work-related stays in there.
This… I recently took a fully-remote position, but my wife is hybrid so we’re still tied down.
…exactly the way you used to do it when you went to work at the office every day.
The charged particles that affect our electrical and electronic systems have mass and therefore cannot travel at the speed of light… We can see the visible light effects of a flare and know that the slower-moving particles that will cause actual damage are on the way.
I wonder if they started eating something else.
Could be worse… AIG
Not being allowed to defend yourself until the intruder finishes breaking in to your home and attacks you simply means self-defense isn’t allowed, because at that point you’re probably already dead.
Also hard to shoot somebody breaking in to your home with violent intentions when you don’t have a gun.
And the only way to find out what the intruder’s intentions are is to wait until it’s potentially too late to defend yourself.
WTF is up with the random preview images anyway?
The wording of 14A doesn’t require a trial and conviction. It was used extensively in the past without convictions to keep former Confederate officials out of Washington.
Common courtesy is to not even link to paywalled articles… The publisher has already made it clear they are not interested in public awareness of their content.
