We are at the point now that we could invent Artificial Intelligence and develop it to a point that it could write the final GoT booK faster than GRRM, and better than HBO.
Each FTE, at $15/hr minimum wage, is $2400. But employees cost more than just their wage, between taxes, Medicare, benefits, etc. National average is 1.25 - 1.4 times their wage. Let’s call it 1.3. Each FTE is now $3120.
Then staffing ratios. Childcare.gov recommends, for 4 year olds, no less than 1:8 and no more than 16 students in a class. So you’ve got at least 4 teachers, minimum, for your 30 students.
Payroll for teachers alone is $12,480. And you need someone to run the books and keep the lights on. Even if that person (who may even be the owner) is paid $15/hr, and can cover for a teacher in a pinch when there’s sick/personal time, now you’re at $15,600 in payroll.
You’ve got $12,900 left in monthly budget. Haven’t paid for rent (in a pretty large, properly zoned place), or insurance (I imagine that’s a costly industry to insure)…or toys, or books, or classroom materials, or hygiene supplies, or electricity, or heat.
And I should hope that whoever is running this, who may even be the manager/emergency teacher, is doing so for more than they could earn at McDonalds. Especially given that that person probably has a college degree, is a trained first-responder, and has to deal with a lot of shit as part of their job, both literally and figuratively.
Staffing ratio for toddlers is double that by the way. 13-35 months, ratio 1:4 and no more than 8 in a group (as recommended by childcare.gov). So if we’re talking 30 two year olds, we’re talking eight teachers, at 15/hr, payroll is almost all of tuition.
Dude I love seltzer. Especially fruit-flavored seltzer…but club soda is pretty good too. I don’t really like unflavored seltzer though, but it depends on a lot…the brand, the bottle, whether or not there’s a straw…a lot of variance in the bubbles.
Apple is the platform of standardization (within their walled garden) though. And as much as that shits on consumer choice, it does make for as consistent an experience as possible. That’s valuable for a lot of people but especially developers.
If I were Apple, and I wanted to position the iPhone to compete with something like Nintendo Switch, I would:
Form an exclusive partnership with Sony or Microsoft to officially support their controller.
Have my engineers work directly with that partner to make their cloud gaming and console streaming apps absolutely top notch. Talking “Apple native” feel and functionality.
Sell first-party kickstand cases or popsockets. MagSafe, preferably.
Sell official first-party controller brackets for holding the phone. Bonus, these are “magic” like the keyboard or the pro monitor mount.
Start a licensing deal with 8bitdo for an official co-branded controller.
Start a series of exclusive games featuring a brand mascot character (original or adopt a forgotten one, like Bonk or something idgaf)
Edit, one more very important thing: Allow retroarch in the App Store and allow for roms to be airdropped and for the app to run a restricted SMB server (drop into a specific directory and user approves connections)
Punctuation marks have to be placed in checked bags. Since she sent this from the cabin, she wasn’t able to get hers to place into the original message.
Actually, if you can program it to take inputs of anonymized employee satisfaction surveys, and objective employee satisfaction data (attrition, absenteeism, etc), it could work.
Especially if the AI’s target goals are public information. Nobody would work for a company that set the “employee happiness” and “corporate ethics” dials to 0 and the “improve net profit” dial to 100.
But this is specifically about workers wearing a BLM mask. Not the general public.
Amazon/Wholefoods are totally within their rights as employers to enforce a dress code. That’s it. That’s the end of the line.
Now, if they had previously let workers wear “FJB” masks without enforcing the dress code, that’s obviously a bias and something that should be dealt with.
This is, quite obviously, a worker violating a dress code and seeking publicity by riding the coattails of a heated issue with their own persecution complex.
There are a few things. I’ll check dekudeals occasionally and Best Buy might be the one with a Switch game I want, on sale, in physical.
I buy large appliances there. Bought a fridge, dishwasher, and OTR Microwave a few months ago, and a washer and dryer a couple weeks ago. Honesty the only reason I went there was because they had the best financing offers. 24 months no interest, in this economy, is hard to pass up when they are selling at the same price as everyone else.
I’ve bought USB SSD drives and a 7200 RPM there recently. I checked PCPartPicker and they were the second cheapest by a slim margin. MicroCenter was #1 but that’s like a 90 minute drive each way.
Dude, how long have you been online if wikifeet is what you think puts us over the edge of deserving internet?
You could honesty find at least 300 more taboo fetishes in under an hour without even getting into the dark web.
