Yes and that is that taxis are part of a municipal areas public transport planning. It is taxi stands and rules against refusing a fare. It is fixed prices and centralised complaint procedures. It is holding them to a higher standard than a piss weak feedback system.
I would have thought that finding a way capture CO2 emissions and convert to liquid fuel would have been the ideal option if you can do it with some, not insane amount, of energy. Solar would be ideally suited to this as it doesn't matter that much if the power levels vary during the day and the fuel essentially acts as your energy storage.
It doesn't solve carbon capture and storage but it would replace burning fossil fuels whose carbon is still stuck in the ground. I believe Solar Jet is looking at something like this now.
Same. I work for myself and have had times when I have struggled to meet the bills. But I haven't been tied to an hourly rate which meant I had more that I could achieve when things go well.
A significant portion of the income would be taxed still. And call it sheltered if you like but the National Minimum Wage where I live is $17.25 per hour. So in my opinion $10 per hour for work in a first world country where you have to invest significant capital upfront to get the job IS a shit wage. Especially when you combine it with no guarantee of work so no guarantee of pay.
Looking at numbeo the average monthly rental on a 1 bedroom apartment, not in the city is 802.14 per month. That means that they are going to be looking at essentially 2 weeks work just to cover the cost of tiny accommodation. In a month they are going to be lucky to have $800 on which to pay their bills and eat.
They tend to be independent contractors in Australia as well. But I know they are making more than minimum wage, a friend works for Couriers Please. It's hard work but she seems to enjoy it compared to other things she has done.
But what I don't understand is why you wouldn't just go and work at Maccas you would probably take more home with less stress.
8 hour shift is $200 max. Out of that comes fuel & vehicle wear and tear, IRS say 57c per mile and I would have thought 20 miles an hour was reasonable including stops etc so that $91.20 on an 8 hour shift. Add to that cost of capital of the car, insurance, accountants, other ancillary "run your own business costs" and I'm struggling to see you making $10 an hour.....
Lunar method requires highly accurate measurement of celestial objects with a telescope. It is easier to do that on non moving land then it is to do it on a rolling ship.
When your vehicle is cold the combustion is less complete and there is left over fuel. On top of this your catalytic converter is cold. So air is injected into the exhaust for two reasons. The first is to provide oxygen for unburnt fuel to be burnt and the second was to rapidly increase the temperature of the catalytic converter to it starts working.
Then once you car is up to temp the air is pumped into the exhaust system just infront of the cat. This allows the cat to be much more efficient and more complete in its transformation.
They were called smog pumps because they reduced smog. But it wasn't through bending the rules it was actually because it did something to reduce emissions.
It is a little more complicated because you are looking at different laws between countries. But there is a specific form of Unlimited company, examples include American Express (pre 1965), Credit Suisse International, Land Rover (pre 2013) GlaxoSmithKline Services Unlimited, Apple Computer's Irish subsiduary. In the US they tend to be called Joint-Stock Companies (JSC).
Partnerships are closely related to sole traders and I do not believe they can be traded on the stock exchange.
Seriously? Ok VW is an Aktiengesellschaft. Aktiengesellschaft, is a German term for a public limited company — a company whose shares are offered to the general public and traded on a public stock exchange, and whose shareholders' liability is limited to their investment. The shareholders are not responsible for the company's debts and their personal assets are protected in case the company becomes insolvent.
No it doesn't. LLC or Limited means that shareholders are only on the hook for the value of their shares if something goes wrong. If you are a shareholder in a non Limited company you can be on the hook for your entire asset pool if something happens. Both forms of corporations exist, however non limiteds are extremely rare.
I agree with everything you say except the photos. The difference though between me and them is that the tablets let them have essentially infinite access to what they want all the time. Where as when I grew up I might have read all the books in the house or there was nothing on TV I wanted to watch so I had to come up with something else to do.
So what happens is you have to restrict access to it to create a false scarcity so they will learn the skills of coming up with something else to do.
As for the photos my eldest was over the moon when we bought her the cork board she was asking for because she wants to pin photos to it. We are always getting physical photos printed for her.
I have a 5 year old and a 2 year old. The 2 year old is a Peppa Pig addict, but it's not just any old peppa pig. Oh noes, it's "I watch Piggies on daddies phone!" "no darling" "I watch Piggies on daddies tablet", then weirdly it is "I watch Piggies on daddies 'puter" and then finally once all other options have been attempted it will finally be "I watch piggies on tv in the lounge!"
The 5 year old given half a chance would be surgically attached to the tablet. Managing their screen time is something we have to do everyday, which is a little sad.
Samford Valley. I am one of the lucky ones here as lots of people are on wireless or have 11km cable runs. I just happen to have a digital rim at the end of my driveway so I'm on 140m cable length.
I live in a semi-rural area outside of Brisbane and just pulled 26.87 Mbps down 21.89 Mbps on Testra according to ookla Speedtest. At the same time my ADSL is synced at 22.696 down.940 up. I'm lucky though as the digital rim is literally at the end of my driveway.
Yeah I don't get that. Why get a cam when the BR rip or HDweb rip won't be that far behind it. Chances are there will be a pretty high quality copy with korean hard subs in it within a month of theatre release even for the top grossing films.

Yes correct - sorry should have clarified that.
Contactless in Aus is limited at $100 or about 50GBP. You are insured for any contactless transactions for 48hrs if you lose your card.

Aug last year cards went pin only here is Aus
Given Australia is 100% chip & pin with signatures not accepted since august last year I would hope the system manufacturers have the bugs ironed out.
Australia no longer accepts signatures at all. August last year it became chip & pin only

And I do get that. But at $10 an hour with having to put in your own capital..... I dunno, I kinda think I would prefer to offer lawn mowing services.

Oh the shame.....
All good. Different manufacturers used different processes, and it has changed many times.
