It probably already is, or is part of one, since those investigating sexual exploitation would check traces in photos and things to get.an idea of location.

There is/was a website for the general public to contribute, if they knew of the locations in the photo.

Unclear. But eventually, people would work. People get bored, it’s nice to have something to do, and get paid extra on top of it.

UBI just ensures that if they don’t like a job, they can just quit, rather than be forced to keep working on pain of starvation.

Tests so far seem to be fairly positive about it working. People who get UBI aren’t likely to sit on that money, they’ll just go and spend it either paying back debts, or buying something nice for themselves, so the money will keep going around (just look at the COVID economic stimulus packages). They might even spend more than they might otherwise have, if they’re not just scraping by.

Making the world a better place doesn’t need to be some grandiose revolutionary affair.

All the little things you do while being alive would add up. Whether it’s hanging out with a friend, giving your pet some extra pats, or cleaning up your own space, and that would put you a good deal of the way there, if not be enough on its own.

The babies going on formula means that the mother’s milk supply dries up when the baby isn’t having any, and that they’re then dependent on it, since it is quite difficult to start producing milk again after.

No auto-knife is complete without a Singlcldpy

Or at least, for introductions.

Probably fine once dialogue is established.

Socrates complained that the invention of widespread writing would make people lazy and forgetful, because they’d just write everything down, rather than remembering it orally.

They might not be. We’re already starting to run into the limits of silicon as it is, and I can’t imagine that we can keep pushing it for another 3 decades.

Any attending authorities will surely not be confused by the situation, potentially worsening things through miscommunication.

You really just think we’re gonna follow the most extremely stupid path so your “guns r bad” rhetoric makes sense. FFS, have some respect for what you’re arguing against.

I mean, we are talking about arming the teaching staff with firearms, rather than having a trained guard who signed up for the task, or addressing the root problems. You’re asking them to either shoot their own students, or other students at the same school. This is not an expected outcome for someone who wants to go into education or stay there because they care for the kids, nor is it starting from a sane position to begin with.

Its a school, not a military barracks in a war zone.

Slightly less obnoxious, but equally ineffective; vote with your hands, your eyes, your feet. Don’t let them steal your labor your attention your time your anything. You can be passive and hold a strike. You van be active and strike back. I think a mix of both would be a lot more effective than just one.

You can also strike without striking. There’s a huge fuss over “quiet quitting”/“work to rule”, where people are striking by only doing exactly what they’re paid for, rather than adding in the extra that has become the norm. They’re not adding extra hours or pulling extra duties.

In this case the oil is silicone oil, and while it performs amazingly and is totally inert and harmless it sets a lifespan for the pan. Once the oil is depleted, the pan is worthless.

Could you not re-oil the pan like you do with steel and iron pans?

If it isn’t green, why is it glowing green in cartoons and comics?

Enough. One screen may cost $5, but if it replaces 10 - 20 15¢ buttons, that’s still worthwhile.

Especially since there would be labour cost savings installing buttons, and not having to spend time installing spacers replacing those buttons for different trims, when they can just do it all in one screen, and fold it into the infotainment system install cost.

Sort of? Past a certain income level ($97 kAUD), you pay an additional levy (1 - 2%) on your taxes for the public system (which goes into supporting it), but otherwise can access it for relatively low cost/free if you’re a citizen, in an insurance-like system (if you go to a place that doesn’t do it automatically, but still qualifies, you can get a rebate).

You can avoid paying the tax if you opt for private health insurance, and don’t use the public system altogether.

Neither of them are tied to employment, although some employers do offer health insurance as an extra addition in pay package bundles, like they do with cars and things.

Don’t grills use charcoal briquettes rather than actual lumps of coal?

Also that the alternative was burning cities with the people still in them, and they’d seen that, which was have been more horrifying and slow than a nuclear conflagration.

Wouldn’t doing that just provide a massively increased risk of necrosis/infection, since you’ve now got dead tissue just hanging about?

At least for small animals, they usually go the surgical route with surgical removal of the gonads, rather than using a rubber band.

I know they use the rubber band method for large animals, although that could easily be due to risks associated with anaesthesia/surgery than anything else, since it’s a lot harder to operate on something like a horse compared to a cat.

I mean, the process of a vasectomy is basically cutting the vas deferens in the testes. It’s arguably less complicated than removing them completely, since you have a smaller wound, and less bleeding because you’re not severing very many blood vessels in the process. If nothing else, recovery should be faster.
