  1. Re: Send in the drones! on Russian Military Forces Have Now Invaded Ukraine · · Score: 2

    Appeasement doesn't work and it's a hard pill to swallow, but when you go to war, nobody wins. I don't think it's possible to find any war (or even fight) where either side was better off after then before, winner or loser. The only way to win is to convince your enemy not to play. Violence is awesome as a threat, not so great as a tool.

    Backups need backups too. Your data isn't safe unless there are 3 copies, working, backup, archive (minimum), one should be offline.

  16. Re: Minivans useful on New Toyota Helps You Yell At the Kids · · Score: 1

    You often have to pull your seat forward and sit the back ramrod straight to get a rear facing car seat in. My experience is with a 2006 hyundai elantra, so I can't speak to other vehicles, glad you can afford something newer. This was several years ago. We also chose carseats that we could afford and were rated highly for safety. They were very wide. There was absolutely no way to get a person, even a child, in between the car seats in a 3 rear seat sedan. That's when we decided we needed a minivan.

    Ford's getting back in the game with the transit. It looks pretty good, although ford has a poor track record with minivans. Their villager (quest) was the last good one they made.

    The hardest part is multiple kids in car seats, even one rear facing car seat can be difficult to get into many sedans.

  20. Re: Local testing works? on States That Raised Minimum Wage See No Slow-Down In Job Growth · · Score: 1

    No, my experience was from before the economic meltdown. I also think that most people outside those categories have steadier employment options. They don't have to show up at 5:30 am and wait around to see if someone hires them.

  21. Re:Local testing works? on States That Raised Minimum Wage See No Slow-Down In Job Growth · · Score: 2

    Those guys aren't making less then minimum wage. The hard part is finding workers for one day projects for low pay.
    Having worked at a work today, paid today temp place, I can attest to this. There are afew people who are legitimately in a tight spot. Most of the other workers are either ex-cons who can't get hired, people who can't pass a drug test, or hard core functional alcoholics who go on three day benders every time they get some cash.

    Once again for the slow people, these are social issues, not legal issues. I do think pursuing the people hiring is a better answer. Maybe the should have to pay a fair day's wage in addition to whatever they already paid (undocumented).
