How, exactly, are they working more? How many low-paying jobs offer overtime, if they are full time at all? Any clue how many jobs won't let you work a part-time job or won't work around another job? Can't exactly work…
To be fair, "Bac'n Bits" have been made of soy for decades - IIRC, they have always been. That's not them being cheap - they were designed that way. You just didn't realize. A lot of brands are similar - not all are…
Some of the organizations mentioned have never welcomed me - the first hurdle to some of these is simply being female. Freemasons only accept men IIRC. Knights of Columbus? Catholic. Oddfellows acceptance really depends…
It might not be a written metric, but do you actually believe that someone isn't being evaluated partially based on how many times they've had to talk to them about issues? I highly doubt it. If this is the reason your…
This just isn't true and really glosses over the downsides of the US healthcare system. Employer health plans are only good as long as you pay - if they are good. Lots aren't and they require you to pay so much upfront.…
I clearly said I buy for two and would go more often if I shopped for more. Many, many people with families do this. I'm in Norway. Vehicles are expensive, children (regardless of age) are used to going outside and…
In college, I worked as a lab assistant for a professor studying them. I spent a lot of time counting microscopic young, scraping adults off of traps, measuring and weighing them before cracking them open to scoop out…
Your first link talks about occupational use. Most folks aren't going to have that sort of exposure. A lot of things are definitely a hazard when you work with them often, but doesn't carry over into the general…
For what benefit? Graduating medical school with an average of $250k of debt? Unpaid time off and possible job loss if you have medical issues that require you to be off work? They still worry about health insurance and…
I'm with you until I remember how expensive medical school plus internship is in the US. If doctors cannot pay back their student loans, it doesn't matter. The majority of folks in medical school have family that can…
Shhh!
My earbuds have a setting to allow for outside noises. Wearing them while walking, I often hear cars and other people well before I see them. Even with louder music, I still hear them. I can hold a conversation with…
How common are heat pumps in the states now - and is this something your average worker can afford? I looked into it some time before I moved - and before they were as popular - and installation costs were prohibitive.…
Actually, the US uses more power during the day in the summer - there is a dropoff in the night for both summer and winter. Night time use is somewhat similar. [1] Cooling takes more energy than warming, so the summer…
My parents didn't watch scary movies, eat hard candy, have sex, wander the area cornfields without supervision, or smoke pot in front of me, yet I still did it. (these were at different ages, of course) Not doing…
Uh-huh. For me, that meant that I didn't do something At Home, and was pretty much unsupervised other places. My mother was strict at a time when a lot of kids had freedom. I couldn't do much that other kids did. When I…
You are conflicting room layout to home layout. In genreal, blueprints or something similar are available. Where your bed, sofa, and tables are located isn't.
I used the plow as an example in a list of things to illustrate the varied information you need to verify things and to illustrate that you can't simply do research on everything. Maybe you missed that? You can't trust…
You are believing a lie, then, and seem to have missed the point. You simply cannot have the knowledge to know if everything is safe - no matter what your specialty, there are things you'll have to just trust others for…
How can you be sure? How can you get the information to know whether or not your children's toys, your medicines, your electic equipment, wall paint, food, and everything else you consume or use is safe? You can't.…
Common sense? What sort of common sense allows you to remotely assess the safety and build of a product? Even if you get a charger in your hand, can you tell? Can your family? How about your neibhbors? Does anyone you…
They say later in the article that the pill is a good option for folks that can't or won't use the CPAP. A CPAP is really effective, so it would be first line treatment. If I couldn't use one but needed it, I'd be happy…
Unless you make sure that most, if not all adults can vote, it won't show it. If you only have 45% of your population votes, regardless of reason, you aren't actually getting the public opinion.
A lot of their furniture now has warnings that it must be secured to the wall - for that very reason. On their (Norwegian) website, this starts with furniture around 100cm tall, especially if it is talland thin or sits…
If you don't actually sell someone something illegal, but take them to buy illegal things using the safety of your car so they avoid detection - are you innocent? Drinking and driving exists and is illegal, but going to…
