...and assume the "trade sizes" are actually smaller than their description.
So what we're really seeing here is that the industry has been allowed to cheat consumers with impunity for so long that undersize wood is the now "new normal".
I stopped using PayPal when I found out what a complete scumbag Peter Thiel is. Funding Hulk Hogan to shut down Gawker and pumping fake news on Facebook, but screwing people who wanted to fund Bradley Manning's defense?
As far as I'm concerned, PayPal and Thiel can both fuck themselves with broken glass.
You might catch a break. It's Sunday night. SuperKendall won't be able to concentrate on typing because that's when he tunes in to one of those "special" websites to watch Koch videos.
I hope consumers keep the pressure on, and don't get bought off with a few minor concessions. The time to enshrine the "right to repair" in law is now.
If Apple and similar corporations get breathing room, they'll soon have things so twisted around that even opening one of their damned machines will bring the FBI swooping down on you...because terrorism, kittens, children, etc.
A headline like this brings out the Climate Change deniers in full force. Too bad they'll now have to miss their Chemtrail and Moon Landing Conspiracy meetings due to their efforts to trash Slashdot.
I'll probably be modded down almost instantly for daring to point this out.
Conservatives have never learned to deal with the concept that reality has a liberal bias. For years now, they've been whining whenever somebody proves they've been lying and/or cherry-picking isolated facts to fashion a fundamentally dishonest argument. Such people and organizations are now said to be promulgating "fake news".
It's similar to the well-known conservative tactic of false equivalence, where even one minor liberal indiscretion is endlessly harped on as "evidence" that their mountain of outright evil deserves to be excused. Hillary Clinton's zero-impact emails versus a whole administration of Russian agents in the White House would be a good example of this.
To their eternal discredit, mainstream news media were more interested in pumping up ratings than refuting this simple-minded nonsense, and so it has gained some currency. Conservatives now understand that they can lie and cheat all they want, and proving comprehensively that they've been lying and cheating (and now, quite probably, committing treason) can be safely dismissed as "fake".
What a pity America has allowed racist, homophobic wanna-be fascists to finally win, and turn objective reality into a matter of opinion, at least in the minds of its under-educated citizens.
As usual, snowflake conservatives get all bent out of shape when somebody offers up a little well-deserved mockery of their self-importance, their willful ignorance and a level of arrogance so extreme they can't even admit to a simple spelling mistake.
Anybody doubting how far gone they are merely has to look at the video of Trump's cabinet meeting, where all the good little toadies took turns proving it's not just necessary to kiss the president's butt anymore. Now, there also has to be tongue involved.
I commented on the one linked here about how unlikely it would be that Walmart's attempt to force employees to use their own vehicles to deliver its merchandise would in fact be "voluntary".
The only reason you even dare to mention nuclear is that, in the event of an accident, the cost of any kind of cleanup has been externalized.
You talk about coal and nuclear as though they are viable alternatives. They are, if you ignore the fact that they rape taxpayers in a way that solar and wind don't even come close to.
So how about, for once, comparing apples to apples, then considering what we should be subsidizing going forward.
Given Walmart's legendary addiction to corporate welfare, you can bet this program won't be genuinely voluntary for long. Ways will be found to "encourage" employees to participate that have nothing to do with the few bucks they'll throw at them for using their personal vehicle for commercial purposes.
And given what I've seen of Walmart employees who are virtually out on their feet by the end of a shift, it would probably be safer to hold a "Drunk Drivers 6000" through residential neighbourhoods than to have them looking for some random house after working a 12-hour split shift broken up over 18 hours.
Collaboration is great, and everything you've said about it is true. But what happens among students often isn't really collaboration.
My work takes me into a lot of classrooms, and I've noticed something you might want to consider. Often "collaboration" among students involves one kid doing all the work and a bunch of lazy and/or stupid sponges hanging around him and just copying. Then they all share in the group's mark.
This doesn't help the sponges learn the subject. It doesn't help the smart kid, either, because all he's learning is that his way is the only way that matters. And as you point out, genuine collaboration is an excellent way to make a project really successful.
Your Honour, I swear the only reason I went to that URL 290 times last week is because my buddy said the best way to get all up in the NSA's business is through one of their fake porn sites.

So many cynical remarks, so little time.

There's a link in the story to the actual PDF file of the report by British Columbia's Privacy Commissioner.

Your view of how government, business and voters inter-relate is childish...and that's being kind.

If oil and gas is a "real business", why does it require so many government subsidies?

Liar. The story says the exact opposite of what you claim.
I see the right wing trollocracy has managed to accumulate enough mod points to elevate this bullshit to a status it certainly doesn't deserve.
Since you're an AC, I feel perfectly free to ask you to please take that cock out of your mouth when you're typing nonsense.

Wish I had a mod point for you, my friend. That is exactly, 100% correct. Rookies make mistakes...sometimes even stupid mistakes. It happens.
If a rookie can wreck a company this badly, it's hardcore proof that the problem is a long, long way up the food chain.
THAT is where heads should roll.
Just the news that it's going to happen will be enough to set them off.
I like your idea of a right-of-decimal-point countdown, though.
Right wing chem trail nutbars go insane in three, two, one...

Thank god these nefarious terrorists have social media profiles under their real names, and have no clue about meta-data.
