Paperwork matters people.

Of all the fuck ups. Have the convention earlier.

I hope they vote early.

I cannot answer for North Korea. I have doubts about independent verification being possible.

~~ South Korea has documented evidence. Here is one photographers photos of a dog farm. https://www.sophiegamand.com/dogmeatfarm ~~
Edit: Sorry, that farmer had fighting dogs, not meat dogs.

Given that North Korea can mass produce artillery shells, I don't doubt they can mass produce canned food of amy type they can access.

Tax rates used to extend over 100% in the USA. The IRS lost the case. They were limited to all of the money earned, not more.

So there used to ba maximum wage.

Fascinating article. Baiting the right to read it, then dropping truth on them?

Jenna Ellis, a suspended lawyer who used to work for Donald Trump and who pleaded guilty to "aiding and abetting false statements" in an attempt to overturn Joe Biden's 2020 victory in Georgia, posted an article of Biden biting a baby on X, writing: "How is this real?"

That one seems intentional. Teaching idiots the wrong way to arson.

I don't know what you do, so this may not help.

Sometimes the exhaustion is more habit and expectation. If you don't go home one day, do you have more energy? (Just answer to yourself.) Like one week you were exhausted, but then home became exhausting by habit.

7? I guess as long as it is announced. My neighborhood doesn't start until after 6 so people can get home.

That is funny.

Sadly the media has never been liberal. Or not much of it. (As it is not really a thing.)

My local news presented it entirely as a "Biden said garbage", and then played short clip of Harris disowning Biden.

I live in a blue state.

So software on the charger is the big cost? Not the hardware or the electricity?

Off topic: how much would it cost to run a charger continuously?

 

Pretty sure I will be asking a lawyer, but I want to learn more words and concepts first.

A possible new job wants to own any intellectual property I create and wants me to declare anything I want to keep as my own. This seems normal in my industry as they will be paying me to do some thinking.

Issue is that I have a number of ideas I have been developing. I am going to float some of them as products in my own time, though this may be years from now. Most of these are outside the current market for the company as far as I know.

How is this typically handled? I presume I don't need to have copyrights or trademarks prior and can just list tentative titles.

I am also a little unclear on the spread between "intellectual property" and "an idea I am playing with".

Thoughts? Concepts to investigate?

Edit: I did Internet search this, but I have not found working keywords.

Article from 1999, referenced study likely from earlier.

The average American walks less than 75 miles a year - about 1.4 miles a week, barely 350 yards a day.

Thank you to @urlyman@mastodon.social for pointing this out.

"I don't know if you saw this study the other day, but what this study clearly shows, is when people have the ability to come downtown to an office and don't, when they stay home, sitting on their couch with their nasty cat blanket diddling on their laptop ... if they do that for a few months, you become a loser! It's a study. We're not losers, are we?"

 

The great Jeff Vogel discusses the Unity event.

 

There is evidence that standing is better for the human body than sitting. For work we have standing desks for computer work and such. Some aim to stand 8+ hours a day.

What about for other activities? How do the unemployed, retired, and homemarkers get in enough standing? Are there good ways to stand while reading a book, or sipping a coffee and enjoying the dawn?

 

While looking for uses for old disposable AA batteries, I ran across the Batteriser from 2015. Clearly, it was a flop of some sort, as I am posting in 2024. What happened? Are there any iterations that do work?

Also, are there any uses for old batteries?

 

On Tuesday, Jan. 2, a federal appeals court declined to rehear the case of Berkeley’s ban on new natural gas hookups, which was struck down by a panel of judges in April 2023.

 

Does anyone know when Costco will be getting the boxes of Chex for making Chex mix? (Has the three varieties needed in one box.)

 

Pretend the $20 million is guaranteed, and if anything will increase slightly over time.

What problems could be significantly improved for $20 million?

(I am dreaming of winning the $1.55 billion Powerball drawling. Then taking the lumpsum, posting taxes, investing, and spending 4% each and every year. I understand that the actual may be more, or less than the started amount.)
