Legally shaky ground? Lol.
No.
Not in the US. Unless this is all laid out specifically in the contract, there’s nothing preventing from an employee coming in on an off day and doing some work, legally speaking.
Your employer can decide you’re not supposed to be there and tell you to go home, mind. What days you work or don’t work are between you and them. You doing extra work as a salaried employee is gonna look at as you doing favors.
Boss probably doesn’t care, though.
the nazis salute was inspired by the roman salute.
So as benignly milquetoast as it is, it’s not innacurate.
If you’re going to sanewash a nazis, maybe start with calling them a nazis so everyone knows why.
So others have already addressed most of your concerns, so, I’ll just leave it at that.
but, eh, I do want to point out that it’s surprising to me that EU people frequently seem to assume we’re all just one big sameness. Like you would look at me weird if I suggested French and Spanish cultures were the same, right? In terms of population size and landmass both, the US is more comparable to the EU as a whole, and we have a lot of diverse sub cultures here.
Some of that is divided along racial lines- do remember that roughly half of the 340 million people in the US aren’t white, and even if we were, most of our states have their own cultural quirks (and that includes variations in accents and dialects.) Which really shouldn’t be that surprising, considering at 85 million, Germany has subtle variations of culture too. y’all don’t all speak Standard German (which is funny because we tend to think of the stereotypical German as being Bavarian. complete with the lederhosen. I blame Oktoberfest.)
hell, some of your dialects may in fact be different languages than Standard German (Low Saxon, for example.)
Suffice it to say, we’ve got a lot of variation here, and the culture that you experience will largely depend on where you go. and since you’ve mentioned Nashville… definitely need to try the BBQ there. it’s delicious.
if you visit Minneapolis or St Paul (“the twin cities”… in Minnesota) let me know. I can give you some good recommendations on places to go. (if you want to be outside, dress accordingly. I like camping at the Zumbro Bottoms, there’s also Itasca State park, which is the headwaters for the Mississippi.) (the cherry on a spoon is a must see, though maybe not in winter.)
“appears”… my fucking ass.
They’re hard candies and not gummies, though.
It’s a good flick, I enjoyed it
If you’re an avid Asimov fan, you should know it’s only loosely related to the iRobot stories.
You mean like…. Inductive power transmission? Like every modern cell phone uses?
It’s been around for quite a while, actually, and chances are solid, you use it every day without realizing it.
Nikola Tesla worked on it because he wanted to create a sort of electromagnetic shield that would prevent any sort of attack. The problem with the shield was it would- theoretically-prevent all the -modern attacks. (It sort of worked. The problem was it required horrible amounts of power, just for a single tower, would require a massive power grid and still had the problem of frying any bit of metal. Details.)
The inductive power transmission actually worked quite well, besides the efficiency involved in the inverse square law.
Which, brings us to the new-modern era, with inductive charging for devices- electric toothbrushes were the first since it let you seal the toothbrush and still charge it- then we see it in RFID type things
the RF powers a chip that modulates the carrier wave and rebroadcasts something different. This is used for access control, mostly, but it was basically the same thing as The Thing- a Soviet era bug in the US’s embassy in Moscow. Located in the seal they gifted. This is also used when you “tap” credit or debit cards.
We also see it while charging phones, or apple watches or anything like that.
The reason it’s all relatively low-power is that as you increase in power, it becomes increasingly inefficient. Horribly so.
Uhm, cops are already fingerprinted. It’s on file as part of the background check. Any defense attorney would be able to file the necessary subpoena for that record. (It’s kept for all sorts of reasons.)
Further, fingerprints are considered “evidence”, and can just be collected, even if they weren’t on file, a simple subpoena would compel it- and again, any defense attorney can file and get it.
The cop-legally- enjoys exactly the same protections of due process you do. And that includes access to any potentially exculpatory evidence.
It’s going to be much harder to prove that the cop planted it, though, for one thing fingerprints on the outside are easily explained away, even if they exist or aren’t so damaged as to be useless. And cops normally aren’t stupid enough to live prints in hard to explain places.
For another, the deck is stacked in the cop’s favor- the court trusts them. Frequently, in the face of overwhelming evidence they can’t be trusted.
I expect answers. I realize we won’t get them, but I expect them all the same.
Biden, Blinkin. Congress.
They made all of us complicit in genocide and I demand answers.
Yes. It’s going to be worse under trump.
No, it won’t.
At worst, your record will show that you’re about to go expired. Once the renewal processes, they’ll see when you renewed and all that.
these creeps are rather shockingly concerned about girl’s genitals. Pretty sure none of the republicans are in drag. or trans. Or… uh… whatever.
Somebody should probably do an investigation or something.
She was a pretty woman and even if it’s cliche, I’m pretty sure it makes things a little easier some times.
Known fact, yes.
We’re still mad at the barbarians too.
that’s a great addon, thank you.
Side note; that’s why they get noisier, too.
Fan blades are basically spinning wings or airfoils.
Depending on their design or how expensive they are, they may rely on pushing air rather than aerodynamic effects at low speeds, and they’re always optimized for a specific rpm.
As it speeds up, the aerodynamic flow takes over, with the rotors creating a pressure differential that pulls air through.
As it gets faster and faster, eventually, that pressure differential reaches the next rotor and the entire thing stops being as effective because now the the second rotor is stalled out. (Only they’re all stalled out because any given rotor is both leading and trailing.)
Said another way, each rotor is passing through the wake of the previous rotor and not pushing more air because the air is already moving with the wing.
And three, the stupid reviews obfuscate the other negative reviews that aren’t stupid.
Just for the record, axes are less expensive, more portable and generally more efficient.
Yes.
All the time.
I’m there at least once a week and I usually chat with the librarians for recommendations and to catch up with a few staff I’ve gotten to know.
They also have around 30 different clubs going on weekly, one of which I occasionally lead (teaching people the basics of 3d printing and design,) and that’s not including the dozens of book clubs they got, or the movie clubs.
And then there’s the larger events like “art days” or visiting cultural groups. The drag story hour, the princess story hour; the story hour for adults.
The major alternatives to prom and homecoming dances.
The tabletop gaming sessions.
Bingo night. Gin, hearts, spades and bridge night.
Most libraries will have something for everyone, even the poorly funded Hicksville ones where the churches likes to sell itself as an alternative 3rd space.
fobs don’t turn off. but the car sends a signal to the fob, the fob responds in kind. fobs don’t constantly transmit
the farraday cage blocks the intial signal sent by the car. Or as already noted; by the guy standing near enough to get it. (frequently still outside the house.) who then relays it to a guy in/at the car.
