From my tiny phone… It’s that Gandalf the grey struggling on hard times? Might need to cut the weed budget.

LoL. So much for pretending “constitutional originalist” was legitimate.

Thanks, Biden!

Also to quote another report:
The EPA is proposing that ‘forever chemicals’ be considered hazardous substances

In June, the chemical manufacturer 3M said it would pay about $10 billion in lawsuit settlements to help detoxify water supplies across the country, after plaintiffs claimed the company’s firefighting foam and other products were responsible for contaminating tap water with PFAS.

In a leap forward, the new law supports independent repair and improves consumers’ access to affordable repair options, by introducing rules for reasonable prices for original parts as well as banning software practices which prevent independent repair and the use of compatible and reused spare parts.

Yes, good on you EU.

“It is clear that Iran continues shipment of advanced lethal aid to the Houthis,” Kurilla said. “This is yet another example of how Iran actively sows instability throughout the region in direct violation” of “international law.”

Iran is supplying them.

Russians engineers are hardcore, they really go all out on systems validation.

Did you misspell guaranteed revenue? They know exactly what they were doing.

Absolute waste of tax money and resources, anyone advocating for this policy is an idiot and psychotic control freak that should never be allowed to opine on public policy.

Outdated values are driving this country back into the stone age. The body was designed to be horny as we go through teenage years. It’s nature. Rather than guide kids on the safe path, fools would forbid, outlaw, prohibit until they can’t control them after age of 18.

Here’s how this plays out… Kids are going to masturbate, regardless. They will dive deeper into the Internet into places with no restrictions and be exposed to really messed up stuff. Hey at least the parent can pat themselves on the back, right, they were good partners that did everything right by the book, even paying the kid’s therapist.

Steam engine breaks, you can fix it.

Steam engine with digital circuit breaks, you’re a hacker, a pirate. DRM was a mistake.

Because the websites don’t police content, there are no rules. This requires a far higher exercise of self discipline when engaging with Internet posts, which many forgo with the anonymity of the Internet and lazy thinking. In other words, there is no constraint to “debate” and ultimately, no agreement what people are even talking about.

Extract what you feel is useful, but only under a critical eye.

Unity is dead, but at least one guy made it out like a bandit.

Idiots believe their personal information was safe, with a private company.

On one hand, I know personally how frustrating it is you know the data is in there somewhere, why can’t anyone in the company extract it. On the other hand, can’t we just keep calling them SMEs instead. No one doing real work has time to get acquainted with these titles.

If everything is fundamentally contract law. How the hell did we allow surprise billing to be legal. Prices are all made up, but ruining your life is real. America needs to change.

A 12-month-year using this system has 354 days, which would drift significantly from the tropical year. To fix this, traditional Chinese years have a 13-month year approximately once every three years. The 13-month version has the same long and short months alternating, but adds a 30-day leap month (閏月; rùnyuè). Years with 12 months are called common years, and 13-month years are known as long years.

Crackdown? More like - finally able to go after tax frauds. They have more than enough money to make sure their accounts are all in order, not gaming the system.

Just to point out, latest research shows productivity is a wash. Essentially, experienced workers saw productivity boost, while new hires since WFH have shown low productivity growth over the last 3 years. The leading theory is experience sharing that happened in person, in a casual manner, had a much larger impact in growing the company talent over longer terms.

Firms need to adapt to keep their talent competitive. Some firms choosing to go back to office is just one strategy.

LOL. To put that in perspective, let imagine it’s some $100,000 annual pay worker. This means Facebook just added 365 employees to their ranks, if they ignored this order completely.

They fire and hire people in the thousands, the penalty is a joke of scale.

Don’t mix religious nuts with my fast food… Anyways, CFA isn’t even that good anymore.

I thought, finally some regulation… Only to read the fine can’t be collected because “inability to pay” over their robo call operations.

I think US has dropped to ball trying to hold criminals accountable, and we just end up taking our frustration out on the powerless by throwing the book at them and acting tough.
