The only thing that’s gonna keep him out of jail is a heart attack.

Depends on your domain. For example in Canada maritime transport is always federal and worker’s comp is almost always provincial.

So Quebec can have a different standard for hi-visibility strips on coveralls than the federal government, and you need those coveralls unless you’re working in a fully federal domain. So if you’re on a dock, federal domain, your fed coveralls are ok.

Drive the crane off the dock, you’re suddenly* under the provincial labor code so your coveralls are no longer in regs.

In practice you’d go for the most restrictive of the two standard, but heh.

*this is kind of a legal grey area

Another example is that in the US, airplane maintenance standards and record keeping policies are tightly regulated by the FAA, but how and when you’re required to maintain your car/get an inspection/emissions standards are all regulated at the state level.

I work from home, and my employer micromanages our bathroom breaks. Anytime we have to go to the bathroom, that time is deducted from our break time, so if you have to go to the bathroom for a minute, one of your breaks is going to only be 14 minutes long or some poo poo.

I'm pretty sure this isn't actually legal.

This isn't even considered okay in restaurants and retail.

There is probably nothing I wouldn’t give to see Elon and his skeleton crew actually attempt and implement a “complete code rewrite” for twitter.

It would be one of the most hilarious sagas in the entire history of information technology.

I cannot see US forces in Mexico ending well. We've done far too many interventions in South America that have rarely, if ever, ended well for both the people there and us.

Demanding we invade and send in the troops is just the only thing people like Graham and the GOP know how to do. They don't take responsibility for actually solving or dealing with the problems. Just send guys with guns. What's Statecraft?

God forbid we let them have some of the Colorado river so that farming is a reasonable livelihood in northern Mexico again.

To simplify this, you COULD cut the roof off your car and have a convertible. But it'll never be as good as a purpose built one, and will introduce a whole bunch of other problems to boot, so you are better in every regard to buy something built for that purpose.

The other thing to consider in this conversation is that the size of ships is fundamentally limited by the ability to pass through the Panama Canal/Strait of Hormuz/Suez Canal. Nobody is going to pay millions of dollars for a ship that has to sail all the way to Antarctica and back to deliver a payload, it just doesn’t make sense.

To be fair, sandwiches are a lot more calorie dense than most people realize. Also cured pork products have a ton of sodium in them, and (for example) Jimmy Johns bread has a ton of sugar in it. A 16 inch sub there can easily break 2000 calories.

You know, it’s funny that this keeps coming up. Corporate profits are still at record levels, just not growing as fast. Yet everyone seems to be convincing themselves that the economy is about to go off a cliff, and laying off people and cutting costs to get ahead of it. But it’s those cuts to employment and spending that are going to cause the recession everyone is afraid of. Predicting the economy is like predicting the patterns of herd animals in a sense, but it really feels like there are folks actively steering us towards the cliff here.

This is generally my take as well. Yes, the southwest US is tanking because of high housing prices, a collapsing tech bubble, and no water(or way too much), and a couple ports that can’t get their poo poo together, but that is not indicative of the rest of the national and international economy.

Grip it and rip it posted:

I think McNally clarified but to add my own spin: Cops oftentimes will use the social media acconts of individuals they have arrested in order to arrange undercover buy/busts and other hosed up psuedo-undercover police tactics. They also use social media to keep tabs on invdividuals and groups they have decided are "high-risk" or "undesirable" and basically have free reign to conduct their own investigations using these methods.

It's definitely bad, and feeds into the idea that "big data" can help with policing, which is one of the loving worst ideas since Chemical Warfare.

Don’t forget Border Control/Customs, they can and will go through your devices and social media ostensibly to make sure you’re not bringing CP into the country or smuggling drugs or trying to work illegally.
