So glad this guy got kicked out. The fact that it took so long makes me want to kick out the corrupt politicians who supported him as well.

Put up a sign that says, "Pursuant to ordinance 347-1236, a sexual predator resides here"

A "Mr. Clean" sponge (one of the white ones) or a knock off. It cuts through haze and overspray on glass. I used it for the windows when I was spray painting the eaves and forgot the spray shield.

They don't ban solely by IP. When you're banned, they note the IPs you use, but because most internet account IPs are not static, they watch what new accounts from the IP do. If they go to the same subreddits as the banned account, it gets the ban hammer.

For those who are confused by what we mean by "free training", read this article:

It's 50 miles from where I live to the nearest community college. So if a laid off FF worker needs to retrain via an institution, they will spend at least $20 each day in gas, assuming they can afford a car. If they attend 3 days a week, there goes $240 of their unemployment each month (gas is $5.50/gal and there is no public transit option). I don't know what they do when unemployment runs out in six months. Maybe join the homeless? That seems to be a popular option these days.

Don't buy into the "workforce training is not the place of companies, it's the place of institutions" lie. If it had not been for my internship at a company prior to graduation, I would have struggled to get a job out of college. It took my friend almost a year to find a job for less than I was making. Job experience is king, and you won't get it from an institution. School teaches the basics, and the rest is on-the-job experience.

Well, let's see how loudly folks start screaming when AI actually gets good enough to replace the skilled workers. But they can be retrained, right? You want to convince me that progress is good, show me legislation that requires retraining as a condition of replacement. If they won't make it a law, it won't happen without a lot of pain and suffering for the displaced worker.

Well I guess the Pizza Hut restaurants will be investing in drone delivery then, because their delivery drivers hit the unemployment line. They are part of the cuts. They don't have the training to be a technician, and aren't likely to get it in 6 months of unemployment.

Fast food has spent millions making the operation as efficient as is humanly possible. The only place left to cut is the humans. That's what's happening. It's not difficult to make a fast food machine. It might even make better quality food. But the machine won't be made in the US. The workers won't be retrained to service them - that task will get outsourced, just like fixing the existing machines is outsourced in the current restaurants.

It's easy to talk about "capitalism at it's best" if you're not the one holding the pink slip, wondering how you're paying the bills on half an income from unemployment. Thankfully, we have subsidized healthcare in California. But that money comes out of everyone's pockets, whether they eat fast food or not.

When you gain weight, once the fat storage cells reach capacity, your body makes more of them. When you go into ketosis, burning stored fat, the cells don't die. They shrink. So once you go off your diet they will happily plump back up again. This is why your weight will yo-yo.

Losing weight and keeping it off should be done through dietary change, regular exercise, and commitment. That's true even if fat cells are physically killed or removed as part of treatment. Anything else yields temporary results or requires a lifelong legal drug habit.

It is for sale commercially. Hella expensive! $107 for 50 ml.

Now you can get it from private individuals for less - a buck or two per ounce, plus overnight shipping. But there are no food safety guarantees. You have no idea who the donor is, what kind of diet they have (may be an issue if you have food or drug allergies), or their health. That's why it's not recommended by the FDA.

The problem is that when minimum wage increases, that same percentage increase does not happen to ALL incomes. So businesses passing on the cost are fighting over a pot of disposable income that isn't keeping up.

We can't keep raising wages at the bottom unless the rest of the workers can afford the increase in prices. Otherwise it leads to cutbacks in non-essential spending and that will cause job losses as businesses tighten their belts on diminishing sales.

It's also causing businesses to reevaluate the consequences of replacing workers with machines. The McDonalds in my rural town just did away with ordering at the cash register inside the restaurant. You now have to use a kiosk to place the order. That's one job gone.

This is the closest to the correct explanation. The reason televisions based on AM radio reception showed static is because of a circuit called the AGC (Automatic Gain Control) which worked like a robotic volume control. Its job is to keep the recovered video signal within a certain amplification range. As long as there was a carrier (the TV station was "on the air"), you'd see whatever the station broadcast. But when they turned off their transmitter, the signal strength would fall and the AGC would increase the amplification until what you see is white noise, mostly due to the random motion of electrons in the electronic components. We can minimize that by cooling, but it can't be totally eliminated. Audio amplifiers often come with a "hiss" specification that tells you how much of this kind of noise you can expect at normal operating temperature.

BTW, modern digital TVs -will- show a noise picture if they lack a video muting function when no carrier is detected. I have an LG bought in 2019 that does this, and it's hella annoying when I accidentally hit the input selection button on the remote, switching from HDMI to TV reception.

All fireworks are banned where I live, and this past 4th and New Year's Day folks found out the hard way that law enforcement is using drones to identify violations, routing officers to hand out fines and confiscate people's caches (and sometimes make arrests depending on what's in their possession). Living in a forest, we have zero tolerance. Nobody wants to get burned out.

No joke.

I once tried sardine ice cream. I love sardines and I love ice cream. The only place I want them to mix is AFTER they are in my stomach.

Bet you don't like Hawaiian pizza then.

Realistically, a project importing sea water inland would likely salt up the freshwater aquifer beneath the desert...creating more desert - elsewhere.

The real question is - how is Putin going to funnel the money to him?

Lift up the lid on the tank. Push down the float. If it still won't fill, fill the tank with water from the sink or shower, then flush normally.

Do we have a sentient soul? I would say no, and as proof I point to those suffering from Alzheimer's. That disease robs a person of their memory, so by the time of death they have lost much of who they were. If the sentient soul exists, it must be able to remember, otherwise it cannot retain the traits that make the individual unique. It should retain all the memories of our life. Yet those with Alzheimer's forget who they are. How is this possible if we possess a sentient soul? If we cannot retain memories in this life, how will we do so in the next?

What about those with major brain damage from stroke or mishap? Part of their brain died, and whatever that part contained, it's now gone. Is their soul now split? Did part of it "move on" with the dead part of the brain?
