As in: Both partners in a marriage will have to work at least two jobs each to pay the rent for the one-bedroom apartment and will still need to go to the food bank in order not to starve. And people wonder why they have no kids...
Second, seemingly legit, job posting that's contacted me after the fact to download Signal/Telegram. I'm in now way going to do it, not that dumb, just wondering if this is a new trend I'm not aware of?
Did they at least put a nice note on their homepage for the victims? As in “This outage was caused by the stupid ideas of the following congressmen (list of culprits) and senators (other list of culprits). Remember those names at the next election.”
Employers demonstrated their infidelity to their staff by paying loyal workers, on average, 7% less than new hires — 20 years ago, salaries were largely the same between new and longtime employees.
I don’t know what employers expect to get in return for their behavior. For decades they treated employees like shit, and now they complain that employees don’t love them.
This is something I always wondered because some people have a bunch of theories about whether your head should face north or south or whatever, because of the earth magnetic field. Is there any science in this or just “superstition”?...
The important facing questions are “where is my window facing” and “where is my bed facing in relation to the window and door”. Magnetism is irrelevant, as we are no migratory birds who can actually sense that field.
Facing away from the door (I.e. having the door in the back) makes some people anxious, like people usually turn and face the door in an elevator. That’s why a hotel bed often faces the door.
The position relative to the window is a question of light.
People talk of potential human flight on planets. Somewhere in the recesses of my mind I still wear my inner 5 year old’s caped Superman pajamas, stressing over how many stairs one must jump from to take flight. So is it possible to flappy bird a flying monkey?
The problem would be that you would need a very heavy gas in that mixture. Which would soon unmix, with the heavy gas at the bottom and breathable gas at the top.
Also be careful with breathing even minute amounts of such heavy gasses, as they will accumulate at the lowest parts of the lungs.
I remember a TV show where they breathed such a heavy gas to show what it does to your voice (it transfomed it way down, just like helium transforms it up). They had to stay upside down after that for some time to get the stuff out again.
Nasty little buggers who build their tunnels in dikes and dams. Which makes them a real threat at the current high waters. You are not allowed to feed them, but stupid people still do it. Just a few weeks ago they caught one who had spread a whole sack of carrots to feed them.
On another note: There is an offical hunter somewhere in the area who sells Nutria meat loaves.
They are a serious danger for dams and dikes, as they like to build their tunnels in them. And they had to close a train line recently because Nutria basically destroyed the embankment under the tracks.
Well, that was what people in Germany and Japan did after the war. I fail to recognize, though, which devastating war had been lost by India lately so they would have to rebuild the country from scratch.
The kids work in the fields (and only get Sunday school), the wife slaves away in the kitchen, and the husband owns them all, as well as owning guns and pickups. A flyover country idyllic family.
There’s probably even a small handful of foods doing most of it
Sadly, no. This is a plague that goes across the board when it comes to processed foods. While some are worse offenders than others, some even healthy appearing foods (cereals, smoothies) are horrible dangers for your health.
Sounds awfully familiar. One of our customer wanted a very specific option our system does not provide - because it makes no sense at all. But instead that the customer discusses what is good and what is not, based on our >40 years of international experience in the field, we just got a bunch of drawings telling me that I should do something in the way a political committee with no professional input had decided.
Customer pays for it, customer gets it. Fun fact: I know they will get sick of what they cooked up in no time, so I already installed a “kill switch”. As soon as they get sick of their stupid idea, I can reverse it with a single option. Bossman says to take the same amount of money for switching it back, and he knows they will pay.
