You missed the best part and directly related to this story. Texas got rid of the mandate that construction companies provide breaks for their workers in high heat.

This doesn't mean the company can't give their workers breaks, just that it is no longer mandated. How many do you think no longer give these breaks?

You must belong to one of those 'isms to think like this. Very black and white thinking.

The implication would look more like, "not putting arbitrary requirements on the ability to continue running the OS". Sure, when x86/64 is no longer the primary chip architecture, there will be a change in requirements, but that is not what is happening now is it?

I do suffer jet lag flying east, but not west. I have no idea why they differ.

What I meant by that was that I experience cognitive dissonance (correct term?) in regards to time changes like that. It should be noted that I do not need an alarm clock to wake up in the morning before work. My body just does it.

This is one of the oldest rationalizations for shitty behavior: "if I won't do it, somebody else will anyway".

Yup, and it's used to this day to justify genocide.

This is no different than requiring the manufacturer to include a warning about the stove tipping over if there is no anti-tipping bracket installed. Consumers are being warned of the issue.

If they're going to whine about this, might as well whine about every other warning they are required to provide with their product.

You are exactly right. I see non-curated videos of people all over the world. It is clear that American food is engineered to cause excess fat regardless of how much you eat. It is disgusting.

Conspiracy theory: They do it so that even poor people are fat so that everyone can point and say: see? they are fat, they are not starving.", despite the fact that indeed, they ARE starving.

Who cares? I have lived without time changes for a little less than half my life. I HATE how I feel for about 2 weeks twice a year now that I am back with the insane people who think that they can legislate the value of Pi. Stop being stupid.

What is this 'we' shit?

Yes, I agree. Let's protect adults from their own choices.

Really dude? You belong with the Taliban and Christian Fundamentalists, aka Fascists.

"From now on, we will only be pushing users of twenty one or higher to become alcoholics"

Why shouldn't they surprised? Windows 10 was guaranteed to be THE LAST VERSION THEY WILL RELEASE. It will all be incremental updates after that. If the government actually functioned, they would have sued Microsoft for lies and imposed a fine equal to replacing all of the PCs sold until that date.

I think that you should probably understand that the USA wants to be the administration for the entire planet. Citizens from the USA are a liability in this scenario as they need to be fed and such... but they don't want to do that. They want to get on with the business of administrating the planet for their own benefit.

... money from mommy and daddy.

Let's be real. The questions are to figure out how to screw us further without experiencing total collapse. The common citizen is nothing more than 'fuel' for the 'engine', their actual lived experiences are irrelevant. Well, not entirely irrelevant... some of the folks actually enjoy the misery that is produced from using people as labor animals with minimal compensation.

The Federal Reserve is only getting a response rate of approximately 42% when it sends out its surveyes. Since they only send out a little over one thousand surveys, trying to guesstimate policy for an entire country based on that response rate is effectively impossible.

First, their sample size is too small to begin with. They should sample at least three times the number they currently do. Second, who they sample also needs expanded. Getting a response from Corning is significantly different than getting a response from Billy Bob's Downhome Fried Chicken in Bumfook, Louisiana.

This lack of response, as this article relates, carries over into people getting surveys. Being asked 5-10 questions is far different than being given a booklet of 100 questions to answer. You need to make it easy for people to respond. Blind calling no longer works, as many on here have pointed out. Send people a letter with uniquely identifiable information they can use to complete a survey online. Since they won't be handing out their personal information it will make it easier for people to respond. Just use the code given and keep it down to a few questions.
