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.

The heliosphere is essentially the extent of galactic space in which the sun's magnetic field dominates.

The heliosphere is defined as the region of space where the solar wind dominates over the interstellar medium.
Not sure how different those two definitions are, but they seem different to me.
Also, the Earth's magnetic field dominates over the sun's near the earth, and Jupiter's near Jupiter, etc.

Maybe I would have found it after spending all day browsing, but this was a great answer.

I have probably learned more things useful for my (mechanical) engineering career by coming across things other than that which I was looking up for the job.

The vast majority of self-identified liberals and progressives do not know who Foucault is nor believe in his theories.

Thinking that most of what you claim in those lists is based on reality is the unreality.

Your numbers seem a little out of date. If you include those who self-identify as bisexual, gay, & lesbian together you get more than 8% of the population, mainly due to the number of the younger generations identifying as bisexual. Even without including bisexual, you get more than 3% of the population identifying as gay or lesbian.

A corporation is comprised of people, the corporation should have the same, not fewer rights as a person does.

OK. As soon as you eliminate the limited liability of the shareholders, giving those people comprising the corporation the same responsibilities as other people, then we can talk about the corporation comprised by people having the same rights as a person does.

Interestingly, the biggest influence on long-term (100s of millions of years) global climate is the positions of the continents, which plate tectonics are directly responsible for.

To your point, though, isostatic rebound has long been known and accounted for in local histories of shorelines. Plate tectonics do not, however, affect sea level appreciably.

I was born in the 50's. I remember everyone in the early-mid 70's saying we were entering another ice age and we were all doomed!

I was born in the 50s. Either you're remembering wrong or you were listening to the wrong "everyone".
I remember global warming being discussed as early as the late 60s. (I was too young for any of that earlier)
The Milankovitch cycle theories were getting refined and stories about them and scientific debates about the rate of change approaching glacial maxima periods were popularized in the 70s due to some extreme cold winters in the US. But most scientific papers about the climate were still supporting the theory that continuing to pump CO2 into the air would lead to a global increase in temperatures.
