Why shouldn't an employer be entitled to control if they want to?
Ultimately that is their right, but not treating their employees like children is definitely one of the things that sets apart good employers from shitty ones.
We will start with Canada
I can learn to build IEDs as good as any Iraqi.
Because an open market in lending rates is de facto prohibited.
I got 0.99% on my car loan. Maybe you are not looking hard enough.
Ever since I learned there's 7, I have fantasized about having 7 drawer fridges, one controlled for each set of conditions.
Two side by side 3-zone fridges might get you close if you have the cash and the space. Hell if you are fantasizing anyway aim big and go for the seven bespoke fridges. To match the number of doors on your oven.
They pay you for this, don't they?
It is pretty good for AI.
I have a Hikvision surveillance IP camera and the company just got banned in Canada. Now it's effectively garbage.
It is the same sketchy Chinese camera it was before.
the light/dark knob on my old toaster worked just as it was supposed to.
I recently replaced my toaster oven because the mechanical timer knob was becoming quite variable and inaccurate to the point I needed to set a backup timer on my phone. This is the very same reason I replaced my previous toaster oven as well, so this time I got one with a digital timer. I'm expecting it to be more reliable, but only time will tell (no pun intended).
No internet of course, will be a cold day in hell I put my appliances on the internet.
It has said it wants to lead the world in the "low-altitude economy."
You do still need some.
Outside of a very small community (of which I am a member) this won't even register as a problem, let alone motivate a sizeable number of people to do anything about it. Our species lacks the will to even stop literally poisoning ourselves.
There are just too many things to be outraged about these days. I can either be a tiny bit outraged at a whole bunch of things, or I can be really outraged at a handful of things and simply not care about the rest. My personal negativity setting does not go high enough to be really outraged about everything.
And either way, this one is definitely low on my list.
They don't need to reach "current sizes".
It's all bullshit anyway. Corals live in a broad range of temps and a great range of depths. Corals will be hurt in some areas yet thrive in others. It's not an excuse to ignore dire climate problems, but bogus coral threats have been claimed for decades now. Coral reefs are enormous and grow down to significant depths. The Florida keys may be in for hard times, but not all reefs will be.
Corals have been around for 500,000,000 years. They have had worse than anything we can throw at them. They will be laughing at us when we are long gone. Well maybe not the laughing part, but they will indeed still be here when we are long gone.
My aunt went on vaction. Her cat turned on the electric stove and it burned her house down.
Did the cat survive?
The public transit systems trend towards becoming the most tragic sort of commons.
I live in a Canadian city with cold winters. In the past, the transit system built heated shelters for people to wait for the bus in heavily trafficked areas. These are now all unintentional homeless shelters. They won't kick the people living in them out because that would be racist/colonial/insensitive/etc., so if you are waiting for the bus you will almost certainly be doing it in the cold and wet.
labor leaders acknowledge the challenge of organizing a disparate population that doesn't have a space to meet one another.
Maybe they could use the internet or something.
In Japan, in the rural areas, people are more likely to use cars as a workhorse.
But in cities like Tokyo, most office workers don't use a car to commute. Yet people do still own a car. For those who use the car infrequently, I liken this to someone in the US owning a sailboat. They like sailing, and may use it on the weekend, but it would be inaccurate to say they use the sailboat to get from A to B.
Yeah this would be in keeping with the whole getting away from the city thing. I also know people who own cars but bike and take transit most places. Owning a basic car you don't drive much is not a huge expense for a lot of people, much less so than most boats.
You give up a portion of your life in exchange for cars and a car centric civilization. And I guess for most people they think it's worth it.
I have no idea about Japan but I live in the city and I can drive for an hour and be far enough from civilization that if I don't return I might never be found. Indeed unless you consider an urban park to be adequate, a car - whether owned, borrowed, or rented - will get you much closer to actual wilderness than transit ever will. Ironically car centric culture can actually get people closer to nature, should they choose to do so.
My sister opened a computer store in Hawaii. She sells C shells down by the seashore.
