  • If your friend paid a competitive wage with the other company using the same equipment, while also providing an equal or better working environment, he would be able to retain the employees, and find an equilibrium for those moving to and from his competitor.

    The only reason he would need a contractual limitation is if he was offering worse wages or a worse working environment.

  • The difficult part of this is that you'd have to have a car with 30% + 15% more range than your minimum, because your daily usage will be between 80% at full charge and 10% at lowest charge, and you will lose 15% efficiency in cold weather, snow, rain, headwinds.

    So for a minimum of 175 miles of range you really have to shop for a car with ~250 miles of range to be usable for you. I strongly believe we will see cars in the 30k price bracket with 250 miles of EPA range, but they are going to come with tech.

  • Unscrew the aerator on the kitchen sink, bend the paperclip so it makes a loop that holds it tight inside of the faucet, and push it up inside the faucet. Then reinstall the aerator.

    You can't metal detect it, it won't affect water flow, and it would be simple to retrieve.

  • I understand where you are coming from. First, procure some psilocybin mushrooms and take a dose of that. If you don't still feel better after 24 hours, plan a bank robbery. I mean it- If you are going to die anyway, rob the tellers drawers for 5-10k, and then fly to Bangkok and party in a place where you will be embraced.

  • I live in an area of the country where mosquitoes are a year round nuisance. Think mangroves and tropical weather. Thermacell devices actually work, unlike just about every other device out there.

  • We used it to heat our house growing up. But only on the very coldest nights, normally we'd use wood since the coal would actually put out too much heat. This was the 80s through early 90s in New York state, us.

  • I'm in the market, and the answer is kinda, for non Teslas. I do a road trip up the east coast a few times a year and the Tesla will reliably add about 4 30 minute stops on each half of the trip. A non Tesla also requires four stops, but they could be anywhere from 20 minutes best case to 1 hr plus, depending on the availability and status of the unreliable chargers.

    A lucid with 400 miles of true range would probably cut it down to two stops, but I don't have $140k

  • You said they don't have exposure. Exposure is everywhere in the US. I'd argue that Americans are exposed to far more Spanish than the average Italian is exposed to German. I suspect you'd find few Americans who don't know what Agua means and would be confused if someone said Adios to them.

  • Most US citizen, never interact with people who don’t speak English as most Americans never leave the US.

    Well, except for the 68 million people inside of the US that speak another language. If you live in New York city, California, Texas, or Florida, it's damn near impossible not to be exposed to languages other than English. And statistically most of us do live in one of those places.

  • It's changing, but not because of the education system. 22% of Americans speak a language other than English at home, and many, many more are likely bilingual enough to speak to immigrant relatives.

    It's hard to find numbers on third generation immigrants, but anecdotally seems very common for grandchildren to be able to speak to a non-english speaking grandparent. Almost 1 in 3 are either an immigrant themselves or are a child of an immigrant parent, so it stands to reason that the number having at least one grandparent to speak a language other than English is significantly higher, perhaps 40-50%.

  • I experienced this too, and landed at a smart company that paid me for the time I spent on the take home project. Yes, it's less money than I might earn at a more prestigious company who abused my time, but I've also successfully selected for a company that has a good working environment.

    They have an engineer for probably 30% less than what I demanded from another company with a dumb hiring practice. The dumb company was willing to give me the money too, but I was annoyed with their process so I told them I would not work for them unless they put a four day work week in my offer.

  • Spending a few hundred a week for the two of us to eat a basic equivalent diet to that available in Europe. I brought back all my shampoo, body wash, moisturizers, etc in a 50 lb suitcase which I loaded up at carrefour on my last trip to France.

  • You are right about not getting Facebook to pay for the data, but each time a company pays you $2 to be referred to their site, that's $2 Facebook didn't receive. Anything you earn on TARTLE comes directly out of the purse of big tech.
