Well, this thread was getting into semantics before I added my 2cents. I was trying to comment on your comment about layman's terms when your definition of heat is itself layman's terms and is more a definition of thermal energy (no offense meant, I tend to be pedantic)
But you're right in that light and heat are not synonyms. Still, if you're talking about black body radiation, you're talking about heat.

Strictly speaking they are entirely different things. Light is radiation in the visible portion of the em spectrum. Heat is the kinetic energy of atoms or molecules, so not the same.

Strictly speaking, heat is energy transferring from one body/system to another due to a temperature difference between them. So it can be electromagnetic radiation.

"Lamb of God" is a reference to the Passover story, where the blood of sacrificial lambs was used to mark the Jews' doors to indicate that there first-born sons were already killed by Pharaoh's troops.
"Word of God", "Logos" in the original Greek of the New Testament, probably refers to the organizing, generative principle of the Cosmos, which was believed to be something like rationality / logic (as opposed to chaotic) by many ancient philosophers.

Even in my lifetime, it was almost impossible to have one job that would last your entire career.

If by job, you mean type of work, not employers, I've had one job in 43 years. I've had 4 employers (only 2 if you don't count selling the business as a change in employer), but Ive always been in the business of designing HVAC, Plumbing, & Fire Protection systems. A lot has changed in that job over the years, but it's still essentially the same job.

A good web catalog will be far superior to any paper catalog

I've yet to find a "web catalog" that's easier to use than a paper catalog. Better yet would be a .pdf of the paper catalog linked on the company web site.

About 10 or 15 years ago, one of my employer's suppliers of electrical and hvac stuff was still an old timer who sent around paper catalogs and did ordering by phone.

I was in the HVAC/Plumbing design business for 43 years. Paper catalogs and their .pdf copies are much easier to use than the web pages that have been replacing them.

The number of times my daughter's needed a waterproof phone is three and she spends almost no time on boats.

This is true. But they had their share of fails before the vulture capitalist sucked out all their remaining lifeblood by selling their real estate assets to himself and then collecting rent from Sears for them.

Sears got their big start with their catalog sales. They dumped the catalog just as internet selling was starting. They could have been an online juggernaut like Amazon if they did a good job of converting the catalog to internet sales instead of dumping it.
They couldn't pick a strategy and keep to it. One year they were trying to compete with KMart, the next they we trying to compete with Nieman-Marcus, then WalMart took over why they weren't looking. One year they emphasized tools, opening stand-alone hardware stores. The next year furniture was the thing, including stand-alone furniture stores. Then clothing was the most profitable so try that and buy Land's End. No let's get back to appliances. Etc.
Sears created Allstate insurance and Discover Card. For a time they also owned Coldwell Banker, Homart Development Corporation, Dean Witter, SPS. Those generally made good profits for Sears while the retail business had slim margins at best. In a typical business school move to "concentrate on core business" Sear sold off / spun off those businesses, which was good for their shareholders, but not good as a long-term business plan.

money not earned is money lost. imagine you run a bakery - you pay for the emlployees and other operation costs of that store but the doors to it won't open because it broke for 2 days. this means you have lost 2 days worth of profit

If you've only lost 2 days of profit, that means you broke even on those 2 days, which would be doubtful. But you likely had no income while still tuck with ongoing expenses like utilities, rent, salaries/benefits, etc. So you've actually lost more than money not earned.

You should be reporting to a single person. If those 5 "managers" are project managers from outside your group then they should be funneling all that work though the manager that you actually report to so the work can be distributed to the team and so that manager can keep track of what the team is working on and progress of that work.

What if you're working on 5 projects? Then wouldn't each of those project managers be your direct report? I typically had 3 to 6 projects' schedules overlapping at any given time (mechanical engineering, not software, and each usually at different stages of development), though I was usually the project manager on 2 or 3 of them.

So, let's get this straight. You're blaming those critical of Trump for spewing hatred and anger, and not the presidential bully that does that every day to anyone who he thinks is standing in his way?

Also, before you start mindlessly repeating the "correlation is not causation" trope that the armchair scientists here love so much: no it's not, but it sure as hell does suggest one. Since the definite experiment to settle the issue will never be done because ethics, an *actual* scientist will start looking for possible explanations of the correlation, and in this case it's a very short list, with "causative effect" pretty much on top.

When looking for possible explanations of any possible correlations in this case there is a very obvious one: the high fever that was the reason for taking acetaminophen in the first place. This is already known to sometimes cause significant issues in developing embryos/fetuses, including problems with the brain. Examination of the studies taking this into account find it improbable that Tylenol causes autism.

It was not really overpriced. It was the cost estimate for a 700,000 sq ft, 1700 space parking facility with 20% of the spaces getting a Level 2 charger. The costs included up-sizing the electrical service, a larger main transformer & switchgear, running feeders to "car charging" panels on each of the 6 floors, and running conduit and wiring a decent distance from the panels to each of the chargers. They ended up putting in all the electrical work but left most of the chargers for future. (This was all per code requirements.) The cost estimate was accurate after accounting for that plus escalation due to inflation during construction delays.

I know some companies have free chargers but those are usually limited to the higher paid employees.

Just an anecdote, but my son parks at and connects to the charging stations in his company's parking lot, and he's definitely not a higher paid employee, making a little less than the median wage.

Let's sat you have a 30 unit building. The up front on supplying one charger per unit (not even per space) is going to be about 1.2 million.

My experience in a new, large parking garage was a cost of about $6,000 per Level 2 charger. So that would be about $180,000 total, or about 1/6 of your cost estimate. Say with inflation, different site conditions, maybe it would cost 2 or three times as much - still significantly less than your estimate.
