Man, if you've never cobbled together a solution from disparate devices that were in no way the best option for something, you really get out too much.
Thank heavens for Amazon and online shopping because if it weren't for these, I'd have to drive hours to purchase a lot of stuff that simply isn't available..
no, it is not. To use a car analogy: Just like refusing to fund streetlights would not the be the same things as running everyone over. Refusing to fund streetlights is bad. Running everyone over is worse.
I think most bad parenting comes from parents just being terrible at it, not necessarily letting the kids off easy. My best friend as a child was CONTINUALLY punished for every infraction, and everyone regarding his parents as bad parents.
He's technically right. So the debate becomes less "You should paaaaaaaay! you must!" and changes to "what are you legally obligated to pay?" Morality can play a part in what we decide to tax, but once that number is reached, nobody is obligated to pay a cent more. For example, if we feel everyone is paying too little, we change that through laws.
Unless they want to : i donate to charity, I feel the need to do that.
Regulation may be neutral, but ridiculous amounts of it certainly aren't. One rule: Neutral. four hundred twenty-seven rules, applied depending on circumstances as varied as location, age, income, etc.: definitely not neutral.
They've actually, sort of officially, decided that you are correct and constantly changing them is a bad idea. I totally agree. https://qz.com/981941/the-us-s...
but..... you can store the keepass database file in the cloud if you wish. I sync mine with dropbox and access through multiple devices. and store a backup copy in a safe.
The thing that always bothered me about the multiple smoke breaks wasn't that they had a break: whatever, I don't care, I'm not paying them.. it was that 1) If I needed to talk to someone about something that needed resolving immediately, I had to either wait for them to get back or walk waaaaaay down to the loading bay, or 2) people would use smoke breaks as a way to get out of work: "Oh, i can't run that process, we're heading out for a smoke. Can you handle it?"
Hourly people get paid by the hour worked, they usually use a timecard/program to indicate when they start/stop/go to lunch etc. They have a set time to work per day, anything past is usually overtime (1.5X normal pay rate) and usually must be approved.
Salary are paid a set rate weekly/monthly, expected to work a certain amount of hours, but can go over/under depending on the situation. No overtime for them. Salary workers are generally higher level employee, hourly workers lower level. A McDonald's worker is hourly, the General Manager of the location is probably salary.
In every workplace I've been in with smokers, there is an approx 10-15 minute break four times daily. That's an hour a day of walking , smoking, walking back. I cannot tell you how many times I needed to talk to someone about a project, but they were "on a smoke break".... that's a FACT.
Really, it's the guys with the absolutely absurd clouds of vapor all around them that are causing this. I sat next to a guy the other day who seemed intent on causing fog in the general area. Seriously, the cloud he put out each time he forcefully exhaled was greater than the size of his body.
With the world of purchasing as it is, I've never understood this: using one company's resources, then buying from someone else. This seems inherently dishonest. not illegal, just dishonest. Then, at some point, the "superior service" company goes out of business and everyone sits around wondering what happened. I'm wondering how people would feel if a company obtained a quote from them for consultant work, used them to define the process and work needed, then took that list to a competitor who offered the same tasks 25% cheaper.
I've never liked this argument, as it's based on what we know is a successful technology: Flying. You could just as easily say "This hyperloop is getting the some condemnation that Phrenology once received!"
So at what point do you draw the line? You can make this argument a slippery slope conundrum. What if China decides Google needs to sacrifice 100 babies in a pit of fire to maintain access? is five babies OK? after all, we're talking billions here. If google really cared, they'd go along in the worst possible way: Ban him but give a big speech why--making it more obvious what happened, delay the ban until right after the meetings, whatever. But I don't buy that whole get into china and reform nonsense. Never worked before, won't work now.

You realize Amazon is one of the causes, right?
The philosophy, or the fairy stories? Because if you're talking about Atlas Shrugged, it's like saying Tolkien is a racist because he dislikes orcs.

Huh, in the US, when I was a kid, we had something vaguely similar: Dead Baby Jokes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

yeah yeah yeah yeah!

so we debate what you should be legally obligated to pay. We're splitting hairs.

Can you elaborate on the "process in action"?

I work in a business where everyone is watched.
apparently not enough...

social media or The Orville. I'm not sure which is worse.
just to let you know, I'm stealing your mottos. Thanks!

Should we really support anything, especially rocket technology research, being done by a guy who is obviously Lex Luthor?
