Adalast ,

I have been searching for good alternatives to AE and Premiere for a while now. I have messed with DaVinci a few times, but always bounced off. Any suggestions. Bonus points if anyone can point me in the direction of a Lightroom alternative.

can you help me formulate an answer to a colleague who is not my boss but feels entitled to tell me how I have to work?

the colleague in question feels that only her way of doing things is the right one and expects me to adapt to her way of thinking and her logic. This is tiring and burdensome because I have to force me to stop doing things automatically and efficiently, but think how she wants it done and do it her way. I work worse when this...

Does everyone learn the same gravity in school or is it different everywhere?

So, I learned in physics class at school in the UK that the value of acceleration due to gravity is a constant called g and that it was 9.81m/s^2. I knew that this value is not a true constant as it is affected by terrain and location. However I didn’t know that it can be so significantly different as to be 9.776 m/s^2 in...

Fits in with the sinking library and Native American graveyard (though i believe that the exact second one may be regionally locked)

Honestly, the question comes down to indoctrination. Republicans play very long games. They see themselves as losing now, but if they can control the education system and mediate what the next crops of voters know and think, then they can make sure that they start winning again. They have been dismantling it for decades, but it was quiet, and slow, and they made sure to avoid making waves so their agenda didn’t get noticed. The current barrel of monkeys in the post-Trump world are trying to be noisy and forceful and are getting caught. Take a long look through the history of state and district decisions regarding coursework and guidelines for educators and you will see pretty quickly who had political motivations and who was trying to make sure the population stayed dumb, docile, and pliant.

Unfortunately the Taft-Hartley act made political and solidarity strikes unlawful. Solidarity strike ≈ General strike. There are some very minor differences, but I don’t see that mattering.

I’m not sure that the public declaration would not void that defense on the grounds of collusion.

Adalast ,

Don’t get me wrong, I want a general strike. I want a full economy general strike. I am so tired of abusive employers being able to get away with the BS they do. I have some faith in the NRLB, and I hope they don’t pull any BS of their own when the time comes.

Adalast ,

Fair enough. I am a massive proponent of educating people on what they are missing as well. I’m trying to make sure my stepdaughter knows all about them before stepping into employment, but it is kinda hard to teach a teen. I have read pretty sizable portions of the FLSA, FERPA, and FMLA and their various modifications.

My biggest worry with a “coincidental” ending of many union contacts simultaneously is that we will have an even more conservative Congress in 4 years and they end up pulling shit that just completely guts the whole labor rights concept. Hell, they are successfully bringing back child labor instead of forcing companies to compensate adults properly.
