  1. This is a private complex, you coward, not public housing. Even residents of public housing STILL have a God given right to privacy.

  2. Don't like it? Sue the landlord into oblivion, bonus points if you make them lose their properties and jump in front of a train.

  3. No FBW needed -- a stick pusher (as implemented in many non-FBW aircraft) would have worked fine. It would have to have been documented and would have required pilot re-certification for the MAX vs the 737-800. Barring that, redesign the wing and/or tail to prevent a deep stall with the new engine configuration.

  4. Everything you type will be (at least by default) sent to Microshaft or Scroogle so that their clown servers can generate "suggestions." Fuck that idea.

    Australia, NZ, Argentina, Chile are all decent places to live and have over 30 paid days of time off per year by law. This isn't only in Europe -- this is most of the non-US world. Not everyone wants to "take over the world". Some of us just want to live comfortably and have some fun while we're here.

    Fuck popularity -- it should be all about your comfort and enjoyment of life, not about working for the company till you die. You don't owe them a damned thing.

    Thing is, once you finish residency, you CAN work shorter hours. Locum tenens, per diem hospitalist, part-time all are options. Remember, doctors are in demand, so it's relatively easy to find work that's less than full time.

    You just need not to have a large amount of student loans. State school for undergrad, state school, scholarship, or Eastern European country for medical school. Perfectly doable if you plan for it and you know you want to finish your residency, then be able to slow down.

    Remember that letter from HR. Find a job that offers 3-4 weeks time off (state, Federal, and local government jobs are great for this, so's teaching). Then walk out with 15 minutes' notice. Tell the asshats at HR -- "I'm respecting this company as much as you respected me. Buh-bye..."

    Or stick your nose outside the USA, where workers actually have protections -- government health insurance, mandatory vacation time, mandatory sick leave, mandatory limits on working hours. The US "dog eat dog" model isn't the only one on this good green Earth.

    Environmentally cleaner than putting plastic bags with feces in a landfill. Just wash the sidewalk occasionally.

    Where do you think most of the plastic bags are made? China and South Asia! Also, the rest of the world tends to follow developed country regarding packaging and environmental rules.

    At least California has legalized marijuana, and New York will likely do so in 2019 or 2020. Jealous? More weed, fewer plastic bags. Maybe some reusable hemp bags, too.

    Wired headphones that cost $10 and a phone with a real 3.5mm headphone jack, not a flagship phone that's a work of art-fartism.

  16. I'd rather be able to fix it myself -- not all parts of the world are convenient to an authorized repair store. It's a damned battery -- it wouldn't be hard to make it removable.

    They're $160. If you could buy a $20 set of batteries and keep them for 4 years, they'd be $3.75 per month. The battery is inside the "tail" of the Airpods -- it would be trivial to allow it to be replaced via an end cap that unscrews. Easy to seal against water, too.

    This solution is still better than the US solution of no speed bumps (mostly) and cops with anger issues pulling people over all of the time. Police should be undermanned and underfunded, and speed enforcement should be left to things like speed bumps and cameras.
