Feinne posted:Okay legit question for enraged_camel or anyone else who is feeling it as a 'thing SpaceX will do that is good' what is the point of going to Mars beyond what NASA is already doing there? I'm gonna die sometime and dying on Mars is cooler than being discovered in my apartment weeks after I die. That's literally the only reason I can think of for why SpaceX turning Mars into Neuromancer is better than science bases.

Who can we bring in to make "a subway but worse" so we can finally get a subway system like Seoul in the US? Hell, I'll take Tokyo's since it would still be a quantum leap ahead of basically any subway I've seen in the States.

I actually liked Boston's mass transit system when it works but when I lived there it wasn't 24 hours so I couldn't stumble onto the train at 3am and then get home, while in Seoul I totally could do that when visiting friends. That's my major gripe with most American mass transit, but it is getting better. But then Seoul also was built in the ashes of the city after it was destroyed in the war and the metro doubled as mass bunker system.

So I don't know if this got any coverage in the US, but it feels right for this thread. Last month, the Chinese billionaires Jack Ma and Richard Liu not only defended the 12 hour work days, but said it was a blessing that you have the opportunity to work that long. These comments came after protests online this March in China against the so-called "996" shift, or working from 9 AM to 9 PM 6 days a week, oftentimes working much longer than that. While this is the norm in Chinese IT jobs, it is blatantly illegal in China, as according to Chinese law you can only work maximum of 44 hours a week. Of course the CPC has never let a little laws get in the way of profit so there are no signs that any company will actually change to have 44 hour work weeks as far as I can tell.

Ghost Leviathan posted:Isn't Libra the name of the currency of the Roman Empire? Funny way to write sesterius, denarius and aureus. Libra is just Latin for a measure of weight so it was used as a name of currency because some places you're just measuring the gold/silver/bronze in those coins and not really using the coins themselves.

Liquid Communism posted:Yup. Many states have a separate tipped minimum wage that is as low as $2.13 an hour. Employers can make up the difference between that and the federal minimum wage out of the employee's tips, only paying out more than the tipped minimum if the employee doesn't make enough in tips to put them above the federal minimum. As someone who worked for tips before, it's a super dick move to not tip because of how the system is set up but the entire system is loving disgusting and i really wish that you didn't need to tip to ensure the servers/delivery people got a livable wage.

I wonder if you CC tip 10% which makes you look like a stingy dick but not ignoring it completely which would set off alarms then actually give the delivery person the cash tip you could avoid this. Just put in a note saying you tip in cash, and then tip well in cash. Boss doesn't get anything from that.

It's not in the headline, but not taking the weight of tractors into account in a rural region is pretty  worthy. You'd think you'd want to conduct some kind of survey to see what kind of traffic goes over the road but gotta chase that disruption dream.

Just have the entire town revolve around the company I bet that's never been tried before

fishmech posted:According to statistics from the early 2010s, the average American moves 3 times before 18, 6 times between 18 and 45, and 3 more times between 45 and death. The majority of these moves stay in the same area, often same city. Except for big relatively moves like for campus residence/college apartments, and for retirement communities/nursing homes. I'm mad jealous of anyone who moved only three times before they were 18, by that point I think I had lived in 6 different places from Maui to Vermont. As an adult I'm active duty military so moving constantly is all my fault but I have never known an actual hometown like other people.

VideoGameVet posted:As to walking/cycling? Many schools discourage it (or in some bizarre cases, prohibit it). Around 2001-ish, I lived in a town home near Chula Vista where the local housing association banned kids from riding bikes after a bunch of old people complained about it, and after that I couldn't ride my bike to school for very obvious reasons. I feel like this isn't a unique experience.

Edit: for sure though it was fun seeing old people constantly ban poo poo for all the kids in the neighborhood. By the time I moved away to Vermont a few years later, kids were banned from riding scooters and skateboards as well, and playing street soccer. Basically if it involved kids gathering together for any reason and it slightly inconvenienced an old guy for half a second, it got banned. But somehow it was our fault we only stayed inside and played video games. Don Gato fucked around with this message at 05:48 on Nov 16, 2019 |
