You just need a helicopter and some spray tanks.

Helicopters can cause cancer in California.

So fly them in from a state where they don't cause cancer!

There's many places in the world where even having USD is a crime.

Citation needed, very badly. I can't even find fake news to back that up, let alone anything from a reliable source. Even North Korea not only recognizes it, but some shops there use only foreign currency including USD, and DO NOT accept the local currency North Korean 'wons'.

I can second this from personal experience. The first week or so that I got my stand up desk, yes my legs & back were more sore than they had been. But, after about two weeks, my chronic back pain went away almost entirely. The stand up desk was the only lifestyle change in that period for me. Recently I switched to remote work (and moved 1k miles away from the office) and for the first week or so I was working sitting at my dining table. After only a week of that, my back pain started to return. I picked up an adjustable desk for my home office and have had it at the stand-up height the entire time. I did get a "leaning" stool which I sometimes use, but most of the time it stays under the desk. I also walk around a lot when I'm on calls (i.e. pacing).

I wouldn't recommend you stand all day necessarily, but in my experence, at least spending a few hours per day standing really does help. So, sure, it's an anecdote, but I know enough people with similar outcomes to make me a believer.

Be careful not to confuse the hourly rate you're paying as a customer with the hourly rate the worker is receiving. Even if they are self employed, working lawns carries several additional costs. e.g. Capital equipment (truck, trailer, mower, edger, etc.) and the maintenance on all those items, their time managing that maintenance, their time scheduling the work (and dealing with schedule changes), etc.

8 hours of pay is costing probably 12 hours of their time, which effectively brings their hourly rate from $30 down to $20. Now subtract expenses. I don't know exactly how much that would be but even if you estimate only $5/hr that brings them down to $15/hr which is only $31k/yr assuming they can work all year, which is not true for lawn care in most states.

DST is almost exactly opposite the school year. School runs through the winter, usually starting late august and ending June. DST runs through the summer, starting in early March and ending in early November. It doesn't coincide at all, unless you are confused and think that winter is when we enter DST...?

This is a perfect description of the problem, people think of email like they think of IM. I get way too many emails that could easily and effectively be replaced with a quick IM. I'm not sure if I really want that many IMs, but if it's important then of course I'd prefer the more disruptive communication method.

To be clear, neither the summary nor the article made any claims about global warming or global climate change (whichever you like to call it). Simply observation that a large portion of ice internal to this glacier is gone (assumed to have melted) and this raises a risk that the glacier will collapse into the ocean which, based on calculations, could raise sea levels very quickly by up to 2 ft. If that is the case, *why* it is gone is probably not the most important question, rather how do we protect in the event that the glacier collapses is where we should focus our attention.

It's easy to tell when a cop is there to slow traffic down as opposed to generating revenue. If the cop car is easily visible, they are trying to slow traffic down -- people will see the car and slow down. If they are hidden, they are trying to catch people i.e. generate revenue, not slow the overall traffic -- most cars won't see the cop car and will remain at high speeds.

Hey, take it easy, he's been dropping LSD...

The headline is "Is screen time good or bad?" and the answer is "No." The law of questions in headlines is alive and well!

So, a la carte?

It's a provable fact that they rewrote the history of Operation Gunnerside

You mean it wasn't really a battle to see how long each side could keep their flag on the pole?

Seriously! I don't get when people complain about insignificant crap like this because it's "not realistic" while they're playing a game where you can not only survive getting shot in the head, you can even keep fighting. BF5 lets you change your character (and they don't charge for new characters), so if you don't like the one you started with JUST CHANGE IT. The game has enough real problems, like how it crashes every other round. We don't need to be manufacturing social problems.

... in trash cans which aren't being emptied, because the people who are normally paid to empty them aren't being paid to empty them, so they are overflowing and trash is blowing around.

There have been so many bombings and mass shootings at music concerts over the past year to even remember without Googling.

So... one? I mean, I can only remember one shooting and zero bombings without googling and I'm not even sure if that one was within the past year. We have a lot of mass shootings and I can't be expected to remember them all. Or, was that your point?
