What is "shutting down"?

Abortion should be legal in all cases

The thread replying to the parent comment is a good example of how restricting abortion access requires people to arbitrarily decide definitions of when a fetus "becomes human."

It's best to leave that decision up to the pregnant person in consultation with their medical providers.

but a fetus becomes a unique individual when there is clear, identifiable, brainwave activity.

If there's no brainwave activity, it's not a life, no matter how many weeks old pre-birth or how many years old after birth.

This is another arbitrary definition of personhood. That doesn't mean it's wrong. But there are other (equally arbitrary) definitions that are reasonable too. (And there are a bunch of unreasonable definitions, but we don't need to go into those.)

Even though mobile homes are technically mobile, moving one is expensive

And moving them might destroy them. Most aren't any more "mobile" then a regular home. The difference is that they were manufactured offsite, trucked in, then installed.

Heroic Game Launcher is pretty cool. It does game save sync with GOG games too.

I think they did say that in the older thread. But for proper security, you shouldn't have to trust them. You should have build tools that will re-fetch everything to create an identical build. That gives a clear chain of custody, which proves that morning has been tampered with.

I think part of the issue is how business accounting practices work. When you buy a machine, you can call it a capital investment and count its value as an asset. When you hire a person and cultivate them for years, from an accounting perspective their salary is strictly a liability / expense. Even though that person is an asset in every other way, our standard accounting practices don't reflect that.

It sounds like most, if not all, come from upstream projects.

Does anyone have concrete info on the offer and why it was rejected? Reading between the lines, it sounds like some of the issues were:

• 24% is a lot, but doesn't bring them back to where they were 16 years ago when their last general wage deal happened
• Contract reduces or removes performance incentives, which might reduce take-home pay overall
• Some employees are mad that their pension was taken away a decade ago
• They don't trust Boeing to keep it's promise about building the next commercial jet in the region

Anything else?

I assume some variation of this exist for other jurisdictions, but in the US, some crimes require prosection to prove "intent" (mens rea) Depending on the crime, you might have to know that it's illegal for mens rea.

In US Tax Court, there's precedence that ignorance of tax code is a defense for criminal tax.

Thanks for being willing to do this!

So sad, so true.

The bigger deal is how many customers will react worse if you engage with them in any way. If that weren't the case, pointing to the hours, shaking your head, etc, would be reasonable.

My wife worked at a rental office for an apartment building and had the same experience.

I love the idea, but I don't believe the timeline.

It's especially effective for those when an executive function disorder 😉

Which isn't to say there can't be leftist antisemites. But it does seem like a lot of anti genocide people are unjustly treated as antisemitic.

It's hard to prove the blanket statement, "there are no good reasons to have a private jet." But it's easy to prove, "one overpaid person taking a private jet to commute 1000 miles is frivolous."

it uses volatile memory to store the firmware

What the what?!

I've never worked in the UK, so I don't know what the processes are like, but here's my two cents from the perspective of probabilities.

It's possible to have a large, freak accident at an otherwise safe work environment. But if an environment has lots of small issues, it seems more likely for a larger issue to happen there.

Maybe the equivalent of OSHA in the US?
