I had this exact conversation with my dad 🤦‍♂️

I usually see people saying the batteries will catch fire and the toxic gasses will kill everyone within 3 miles. Like many NIMBY complaints, they are barely based in reality and blown away out of proportion.

Subway and most buses $2.90 a ride, and if you use the same payment method it has a maximum combined fare of $34 per week. That means that if you pay for 12 rides, any more rides are free within a 7 day period.

It looks like they swapped columns and rows for the bar/psi ratings. I would like to see tires inflated to 29 bar haha

Having been released a few weeks ago, Borderlands 4 has kept console players looting and shooting for a while. Being generally favored more than Borderlands 4, the new entry was venturing into new territory by going to Nintendo Switch

Insider gaming may need to check up on their editing workflow.

Not all heroes wear capes

This sounds more like PTSD to me, relating to familial abuse.

Interesting that the horses are drawn in the flying gallop position. The story of the change in how galloping horses in art was depicted is interesting, involving the founder of Stanford University and love-affair murder.

I'm all for comparing salaries and I've done so for my previous jobs, but my current job has left me concerned to discuss openly. I've been struggling internally about it.

Long story short is that one of my coworkers is a real malcontent that made a huge fuss when I got a promotion. They are the reason that I don't state my pay when I encourage my other coworkers to seek higher wages and coach them on negotiating raises. I'm worried that the sourpuss won't use the information as a tool to improve their own situation and instead cause more trouble for me.

It's the same as vaccines, though: many of the victims will be children that have the bad decisions made on their behalf.

I think it's great that you're willing to offer help to those in need. $500/mo is enough to really help you out with expenses, but likely cheaper than they're able to find elsewhere. Especially considering that the environment is supportive and safe for them.

That being said, I would strongly recommend getting them to sign well-defined contracts that you get from a real-estate lawyer to help shield you in the case of it turning sour.

My coworker just got finished with a year-long legal battle trying to kick out someone that he allowed to bunk in a spare room for a few months (completely free). Despite them not paying room or board they were classified as tenants and therefore had legal protection that they took every advantage of and made my co-worker's life hell. I'm all for strong tenant protections, but there's always going to be the exceptions that abuse the system. I would follow your heart on the payment side, but insist on contracts to protect your livelihood. Don't let a good deed ruin you.

I'd like her to be primaried. She's better than Cuomo, but she was his lieutenant gov and it shows. Her mishearing "Tax the rich" as "Let's go Bills" bullshit really illustrates her place as a corporate Democrat.

When I got the promotion, they started sending whiny emails up the management chain. My immediate supervisor that I worked with to get the promotion was then put under scrutiny and essentially told "make this problem go away". It ended up with my supervisor having to give the coworker a detailed report on all of the reasons they didn't get the promotion and I did, leading to a tense work environment.

I can easily imagine this coworker doing the same shit if they heard my salary. There are two main reasons that I keep quiet:

• I have been walking on eggshells around that coworker since the original incident. It changed the work vibe from focused and fun to petty and defensive. I really don't want it to get worse.
• My supervisor really advocated for me to get the promotion and I don't want a good deed to be punished.

I do advocate for raises for my coworkers to them and to my supervisor, and I wouldn't feel hesitant to state actual numbers if it weren't for that troublesome coworker.

I might just be neurotic about this, idk. It just really sucked when they got butt-hurt and made my work life way more stressful.

This sounds like the start of an SCP

I've seen a dozen or so grid scale battery projects local to me in the NE. The majority are hung up in litigation with local NIMBY opposition. The scale of the opposition always surprises me, I can't help but wonder how much is grassroots vs anti-renewable lobby.

Mocha must get great reception with those giant satellite dishes!

An expert for the plaintiffs said he estimates total damages to the consumer class at $1.9 billion.

Seems like another example of crime paying more than the penalty.

My "laugh at the tragedy" defense mechanism has been getting a workout. It helps that most of the news is absurd

I thought the pencil had the lead.

I agree for the front and side profiles, but from the back it is identical to a dumpster.
