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.

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.
