Hey, people I don't know know if you are aware, but if you take a radar unit, drop the receiver and turn up the power, you can cook FOOD on it to!

Really? That's really cool. I guess it's a RadaRange then?

You could get almost everyone to move out and you'd still have a major water supply issue. Most of the water that gets used is for agricultural purposes, something that isn't going to change even with a major population decline.

If you're firing a single individual, that might work. When you're letting go of 20% of your workforce, or around 100 people, you probably are not doing it all at once. Making them do the employment walk of shame could be very demoralizing throughout the day for a very large layoff, not to mention tipping off the next guy to get called down to HR to go postal on his way down.

It all depends on how you define fired. If fired is used to indicate termination with cause, such as you were showed up drunk, fighting in the workplace, looking at porn, habitual late/no show, something with significant misconduct... then unemployment probably will be denied.

If you're terminated for no fault of your own, you likely can still collect unemployment. "No fault of your own" can still include things that were directly associated with you, such as low job performance, inability to perform the job, "just not working out", etc. It requires a deliberate misconduct that could have been prevented and is beyond an isolated accident or minor incident.

A little more detail...and things can change if you're under contract, a part of a union, or specifics in local labor laws.

But the cockpit door is RF shielded so that's the end of that.

It's a good thing everything necessary for the successful operation of a plane is contained behind that cockpit door...

Where the hell do you plug in a keyboard and mouse? Wheres the display port? Where's the network connector?

God damnit Apple. Quit changing your fucking connector specs every fricking new device. I'm getting really tired of having to buy all new cables Every. Single. Time.

But for tax advantages, you need more. You need an organisation that tries to be beneficial to society.

Actually, no you don't. Churches and related religious entities are exempt from being required to fill out from 990 and formally receiving written 501c3 status. They're automatically granted it although they can go through the process anyways to formally get the declaration.

As to benefiting society, IRS allows "advancement of religion" to qualify for being exempt. It's vague what exactly that means, I'm guessing intentionally, as being overly specific may cause more issues then being broad.

1% increase a day is almost 38x by year's end, fwiw.

Might want to do the math on that. It's already April so you're losing 3 months of compounding.

Well, this is the 2nd article on the homepage, so yeah, it does look like they are going with factual stories today.

Perhaps because they aren't looking for the best pure athlete to simulate an intruder. Presumably Secret Service agents (at least those that are on White House duty) would also have training in searching for evasive intruders, and therefor would have an idea how to play the role of one as well.

Now perhaps they could train world class athletes as well as cross train them to be Secret Service agents...

you would think pilots wanted it too, to clear them from pilot error claims.

Isn't that just a variation of the "If you aren't doing anything wrong you have nothing to hide" argument?

So what you're saying is that...it's possible?

I think the founders would be laughing their asses off at the idea that the local baker should be forced to make products his religious beliefs don't support.

But it's not just the baker refusing to bake a cake with two male figures on top. It's the potential to allow the baker to refuse to sell a plain loaf of bread to two male figures because he doesn't agree in gay marriage. Or a gas station refusing to sell fuel. Or a doctor refusing to provide medical treatment.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. Discrimination is unjust treatment due to some characteristic. In the case of poison, thieves, murders, rapists, and stupidity, the justness of choosing the alternative is deserved.

People should be able to serve whom they want and I refuse to bow down to the tyranny of the minority

Doesn't GenCon have just as much right to express who (and where) it wants to do business with that the businesses who want to discriminate do? If the state is going to put it into law that a business can object to doing business with someone who goes against their religion, why can't GenCon say we choose not to do business with the state?

It probably won't affect you too much, but add Alcoa, Eli Lilly, Cummins, and Sales Force to the list of companies who won't ever patronize because they all wrote similar letters to the governor.
