Good point. I live in a somewhat rural part of Clark County, WA (where the recent measles outbreak is taking place) and know a fair number of parents who are adamantly against vaccines. They tend to fall into one of two camps. First, there is a more religious group (Apostolic Lutherans being a significant portion but a number from a variety of Christian sects) that homeschools their kids (although even homeschooled kids will have a number of interactions with regularly schooled children). Relatively few of them will go to college. Instead, they generally move into a skilled trade after getting their GEDs. These people have generally been living in the area for generations and I seriously doubt that any level of education will change their minds. Closing them off from public schools/colleges will have little effect. I read their posts on the community Facebook pages and the shortsightedness and irresponsibility makes my mind reel. While they don't like measles, the prospect of infection isn't nearly enough to make them change their minds. I question whether anything more serious would. Second, there is a large community of first generation Russian and Ukrainian immigrants, many of whom tend to look with suspicion at anything any government asks them to do. I suspect this community will come around after a generation, if not sooner, since this group, although wary of government, tends to be more pragmatic and some of the measles infections have occurred in Slavic community centers and private schools.

"right to work" deals with labor union issues, not non-competition agreements. There might be some statistical correlation between states with right to work laws and enforceability of non-competes, but that would be it. They are fundamentally different issues. If there is a correlation, I would expect it to be the reverse of what you propose (i.e. I would tend to think that states with right to work laws would be more likely enforce non-competes) because right to work laws are generally viewed as employer-friendly (as are non-competes).

Would someone tell me how this happened? We were the fucking vanguard of shaving in this country. The Gillette Mach3 was the razor to own. Then the other guy came out with a three-blade razor. Were we scared? Hell, no. Because we hit back with a little thing called the Mach3Turbo. That's three blades and an aloe strip. For moisture. But you know what happened next? Shut up, I'm telling you what happenedâ"the bastards went to four blades. Now we're standing around with our cocks in our hands, selling three blades and a strip. Moisture or no, suddenly we're the chumps. Well, fuck it. We're going to five blades.

Sure, we could go to four blades next, like the competition. That seems like the logical thing to do. After all, three worked out pretty well, and four is the next number after three. So let's play it safe. Let's make a thicker aloe strip and call it the Mach3SuperTurbo. Why innovate when we can follow? Oh, I know why: Because we're a business, that's why!

You think it's crazy? It is crazy. But I don't give a shit. From now on, we're the ones who have the edge in the multi-blade game. Are they the best a man can get? Fuck, no. Gillette is the best a man can get.

What part of this don't you understand? If two blades is good, and three blades is better, obviously five blades would make us the best fucking razor that ever existed. Comprende? We didn't claw our way to the top of the razor game by clinging to the two-blade industry standard. We got here by taking chances. Well, five blades is the biggest chance of all.

Here's the report from Engineering. Someone put it in the bathroom: I want to wipe my ass with it. They don't tell me what to inventâ"I tell them. And I'm telling them to stick two more blades in there. I don't care how. Make the blades so thin they're invisible. Put some on the handle. I don't care if they have to cram the fifth blade in perpendicular to the other four, just do it!

You're taking the "safety" part of "safety razor" too literally, grandma. Cut the strings and soar. Let's hit it. Let's roll. This is our chance to make razor history. Let's dream big. All you have to do is say that five blades can happen, and it will happen. If you aren't on board, then fuck you. And if you're on the board, then fuck you and your father. Hey, if I'm the only one who'll take risks, I'm sure as hell happy to hog all the glory when the five-blade razor becomes the shaving tool for the U.S. of "this is how we shave now" A.

People said we couldn't go to three. It'll cost a fortune to manufacture, they said. Well, we did it. Now some egghead in a lab is screaming "Five's crazy?" Well, perhaps he'd be more comfortable in the labs at Norelco, working on fucking electrics. Rotary blades, my white ass!

Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe we should just ride in Bic's wake and make pens. Ha! Not on your fucking life! The day I shadow a penny-ante outfit like Bic is the day I leave the razor game for good, and that won't happen until the day I die!

The market? Listen, we make the market. All we have to do is put her out there with a little jingle. It's as easy as, "Hey, shaving with anything less than five blades is like scraping your beard off with a dull hatchet." Or "You'll be so smooth, I could snort lines off of your chin." Try "Your neck is going to be so friggin' soft, someone's gonna walk up and tie a goddamn Cub Scout kerchief under it."

I know what you're thinking now: What'll people say? Mew mew mew. Oh, no, what will people say?! Grow the fuck up. When you're on top, people talk. That's the price you pay for being on top. Which Gillette is, always has been, and forever shall be, Amen, five blades, sweet Jesus in heaven.

Stop. I just had a stroke of genius. Are you ready? Open your mouth, baby birds, cause Mama's about to drop you one sweet, fat nightcrawler. Here she comes: Put another aloe strip on that fucker, too. That's right. Five blades, two strips, and make the second one lather. You heard meâ"the second strip lathers. It's a whole new way to think about shaving. Don't question it. Don't say a word. Just key the music, and call the chorus girls, because we're on the edgeâ"the razor's edgeâ"and I feel like dancing.

What do you mean by contacting a foreign satellite? These phones aren't sending signals to satellites, are they? I didn't think that's how GPS (or Galileo, or otherwise) worked. They just receive signals from satellites.

Also, there are other aspects of aircraft design that may decrease efficiency in this use case. Will aircraft manufacturers have to significantly increase the strength (and probably weight) of landing gear systems to accommodate a plane that doesn't decrease its weight over the course of the flight?

Well, it's not fake news precisely, since the Pentagon spokesperson did, in fact, say this (pretty easy to confirm via google). But yeah, whether what she said is accurate is up in the air. A fair number of other news sources reported on this quotation (I saw a Newsweek article) and it doesn't appear that she offered up any additional details (and as far as I can tell, no news sites have have even guessed at what kind of activity she might have been talking about).

If a federal administrative rule is appropriately implemented (i.e. the agency has the authority to issue the rule and jumps through all of the necessary steps required for implementation, such as those required by the APA), the answer is yes.

Here's a brief overview: https://www.law.cornell.edu/we...

"The whole corporation is to be turned into a jail. Armed guards at every company property, no departures will be permitted for any reason. Total surveillance of every vehicle if the company is involved in transportation or off-site services. No managers, bosses, board members, stockholders, contractors, customers, or employees will be permitted either to leave for other jobs or to quit or retire, but will be required to continue until the period of corporate imprisonment ends, even if there are no funds available for compensation"

Wait, this is what *WILL* happen upon conviction? Because that comes close to describing the voluntarily adopted standard operation procedures at some of the corporations I've worked for.

Still very rare in the US. But starting to get some use. Portland will get an 11 story CLT building.

Sure. But I wouldn't be surprised if malware were added.

"right to work" and "at will" are two very different concepts. Here's a brief summary of the difference:

Credit freezes have never transferred to other reporting agencies so unless we read something about this practice changing, I would assume that it would not. Fraud alerts (a very different thing) transfer to the other agencies.

I was wondering if this exact problem was the source of the trouble. The co-mingling BS has to stop. It's why I don't buy memory cards, charger cables, and certain other often counterfeited items through Amazon anymore.

In our area, Zillow tends to be really high, especially for homes in the $500K-$1M range. As much as 20% above what homes sell for. What's kind of bizarre is that the Zillow algorithm doesn't appear to heavily weigh what actually happens to specific homes. So if a zestimate for a given home is for $800K, the owners put the house on the market for $800K and then over the course of several months drop the price until it sells for $650K, the zestimate following closing is still likely to be almost $800K.

While the issue varies from state to state and is very fact specific, holding yourself out as a doctor and providing medical advice to an individual may very well be considered engaging in the practice of medicine, which appears to be illegal in every state unless you're practicing within the scope of an appropriate professional license.
