There are ways to minimize subsidence.
The term is "groundwork" or "dirt work".
Essentially it's geo-technical engineering.
Simply digging a hole, pouring concrete in and then putting a structure on top simply isn't enough.
Allowance needs to be made for ground pressure, soil engineering, water displacement, etc.
Otherwise you may as well strap detonators to the building and periodically demolish and rebuild.
You'll find that the mentality over there is to just "throw a building up" and then, when it fails, go throw ANOTHER poorly planned, poorly built building up in a different location.
If I have to get the OS registered? Fine.
I'll just immediately create a local account and never use the MS account again.
I'm never going to be dumb enough to allow Microsoft to control MY access to MY computer.
My work here is done!
Enjoy the snickers.
Everything takes longer and costs more.
Also expressed as "Work will expand to fill the resources given to it."
and you're pedantic
I also occasionally moonlight as a grammar nazi.
HEIL WEBSTER!
There's a component of the notion talking about "protected activity".
Taking over an office location is, definitively, does not fall under the heading of "protected activity".
Without the "protected activity" part, it doesn't fall under the classification of "illegal retaliation" .
While it is still, technically a form of retaliation.
In the same way that being fired for blowing off work for a month is retaliation.
Save as a safe space for people who're racist, insane, or actively criminal.
"Everyone has a right to be stupid."
Not demonstrating on private property.
Property owners and government locations are under no obligation to platform you aside from VERY specific incidents.
You cannot simply move in and refuse to vacate when asked.
People who pull this shit should be put in lockup for 30 days. MINIMUM.
Worse, can be gotten around with basic semantics.
Pay for some "unspecified service" that OF COURSE has nothing to do with data.
And if something gets passed along? OH WELL!
They didn't SELL it!
They don't get to claim the moral high ground.
True, and neither does Hamas. For that matter, neither the Israeli nor the Palestinian people get to claim the moral high ground, since both overwhelmingly support the actions of their governments. Both are in the gutter, and digging downward. A pox on both their houses, and I don't think we should support either one. I am okay with humanitarian aid to starving people, though.
Luckily you don't know what schizophrenia actually is.
And calling a duck a hamster isn't a metaphor.
That's not how it works.
There's a third and fourth reason too: 1. Fewer charges per year. It's a minor but still useful additional convenience to only have to plug in once a fortnight instead of once a week
I suppose. I prefer to plug in every time I park, then I basically never have to pay any attention to range except on long trips.
2. Fewer charge-discharge cycles per year, so the battery should last longer
Yeah, that's another side of my second reason, though cycles really only begin to bite when you get close to full or close to empty. Oscillating near the middle is fine.
An 18-wheeler was overkill.
Everyone knows that they should have used a station wagon.
Confusing terminology by co-opting accepted terms already in common use.
We're going to name this golf cart "Jet Plane"!
We're going to call this jet plan "submarine"
We're going to name this sailboat "family car".
We're going to make this snowmobile "toboggan"
Sorry. Stupid shit like this makes it impossible to take anything these people say seriously.
