  • Can't speak for most places, but in mine, that's exactly the way it works. You can only make a certain percentage of your budget from tickets (and it's not a large amount) before it all goes to the level double above yours.

  • The airbag vests are good. They are worn by the big boys in the moto gp purely because they are so good. Leather saves your skin, pads save you bruises, and with these your soft tissue injuries to the neck and torso are almost mitigated. They are also helpful with joint and bone injuries, as they stiffen certain areas so that your limbs don't get whiplashed if they grip the pavement when they should slide.

    On the controlled surface of a racetrack, these are a godsend. Obviously on the street, nothing is going to save you from some of the hazards around, like vertical surfaces in the shape of mailboxes, street signs, or nearby cars, but overall they are still able to improve your chances.

  • Mate, if the courtroom isn't the place to be somber, there would be no place to be somber. When one person accuses another of harming them, the parties who will be listening to their pleas and deciding on fates should be absolutely somber.

  • making a small profit

    Right, this is what people always gloss over to just say that eventually the bet will be too big to sustain. Even if you win repeatedly, the bets you make after 3 or 4 losses are vast in comparison the amount you'll 'gain' per win. For the doubling (Martingale strategy), if your bet starts at $1, and you win $2 off of that, it doesn't matter how much you are eventually betting, you'll only make $1 for the whole cycle.

    The tripling helps for the profit angle, somewhat. I ran the numbers for total amount of times betting before a win for net win. I wish the formatting let me make tables, but oh well.

    Total Times Bet(bet amount): total of bet: net winning:

    1 (1) ... 1 ... 1

    2 (3) ... 4 ... 2

    3 (9) ... 13 ... 5

    4 (27) ... 40 ... 16

    5 (81) ... 121 ... 41

    6 (243) ... 364 ... 122

    7 (729) ... 1093 ... 365

    8 (2187) ...3280 ... 1094

    9 (6561) ... 9841 ... 3281

    10 (19683) ... 29524... 9842

  • Shoot, they won't just be posting a tl;dr, but a commentary on it, and sometimes really good context from their field or experience. It's basically the article, but written by a more intelligent journalist who is a part of whatever is being reported on, not just observing from interviews and phone calls (and lame corporate website 'about us' pages).

  • I don't know, mate. I think shoving children out of the way as a fully grown adult is a little bit more than "mildly annoying." One of the standards I have for someone to be 'mature' is being able to control themselves when appropriate. Your glee to see a mickey is not an appropriate time to physically assault children.

  • I think you may be making a mountain out of a mole hill. If they're asking you to make him take it, we all know that's a violation of informed consent to medical treatment laws/practices/standards. It doesn't sound like that though. It seems as if they just want you to document whether the patient takes it or not. If they're alert and oriented, it should be obvious when you give it to them whether or not that happens within, say 10 seconds. 10 seconds isn't really invasive. If the patient gets upset that you're watching him take it for that long, pass it off as you're just documenting whether or not he took it.

    If they are wanting you to make the patient take it, well... bring up concerns to a supervisor you trust, and chart that you spent time trying to convince the patient to take the medication (better known as, the 5 seconds you talked to the patient about this being a doctor's orders for medication).

  • Okay, but, like, wtf is going on in this picture? Red dotty area is supposed to be his kneecap, right? But what the hell is in the center of it? It looks like an oddly drawn snout with a nostril in it. Then there's whatever that bulbous growth is to the right of the knee. Is the darker blue line the outline of his leg, or is it the green 'I've-got-really-wide-calves' line? And then what in the eye-popping-nasty-juju is the black area outlined by the teal? Is that supposed to be his upper thigh with the arm resting on it? Is it another animal clinging to him? Is that kneecap actually the head of an owl (look at the ear shape of the shiny/rubber black looking area), and the black thing going up the body clinging on?

  • This one isn't texas. If you remember back to the bush election and it's various bullshits, his service was in the "texas national guard." I'd bet the reporting agency is just using the easiest translation/word that will be recognized for multiple markets.

  • I don't necessarily disagree with the reasons behind your conclusion, but it costs more to execute a prisoner than to house them for life. The nature of the death penalty means that every appeal must be heard and fought through, which is one reason why it takes so long to kill them after conviction. All of those people involved in that process are thus being dragged away from other things they could be doing.

    About the only time an execution occurs quickly is if the individual decides not to appeal. Rare, understandably. The other option would be to ignore the appeals process, and frankly we have already executed too many innocents for any person, even those who believe in the death penalty, to believe that would be justice.
