That’s nice, now can you make it take less than three hours?

In this case, the ads are probably bringing in less per viewer than the service costs, so having non-paying viewers is still a net negative.

Clamping down on this is probably a worse negative in the long run, but investors only care about this quarter.

Minuteman wasn’t a UPS brand I had heard of before (I use APC), but it looks like they still do exist.

I’m 90% sure I’ve seen a corn bone video.

Better the ups than the stuff attached to it.

What people can do and what they actually tend to do are often extremely different things. And when you’re trying to sell a house, the idea is to get as many buyers as possible, so that you can get the most money. Whether it’s interesting or boring doesn’t matter.

Did you learn your lesson and get a UPS?

I don’t know about that. The Linux community has its own brand of toxic issues too. Try bringing up systemd or rust.

Good lord, replace the words “middle class” with whatever you want to use to describe “population group that can use one income to support buying a home, having a spouse and 2.1 children, and saving enough to retire at 65”.

The point is the massive increase in top level pay, not whatever term you are using to refer to the rest.

The after pictures look like a house being staged for sale, which means any colour and details that used to exist would have been removed to give buyers a “blank slate” look to work with. That’s why you keep seeing this same look in house listings, while very few people ever actually live in an interior that looks like that.

When putting a house up for sale, you don’t paint the house white because of a shitty interior designer, you paint it white so that the buyer can easily paint it what they want. If, for example, you paint the walls red, and the buyer wants white, it’s going to take forever to get the red to stop bleeding through the white. Going from white to another colour however, is very quick and easy.

In common usage, the “____ class” terms refer to income/wealth levels, and the social constructs derive from that.

More importantly, the semantics of the comment are completely irrelevant to the actual message being conveyed.

Still pass. S&M just isn’t my thing.

He was probably able to do his own luring, as opposed to Epstein’s crowd.

So based on those statistics, I will say that those trades are definitely not “really dangerous”. Tortilla manufacturering is twice as dangerous at 6.2, and hospital workers were up above 10. Going from 0.8 to 1.6 is like going from laying on your couch to walking down the sidewalk.

Cool story, but this is my day job. I very aware of what the industry trends are.

Define “really hazardous”.

What are the rates of workplace injury for trades compared to the rates of people getting long term health effects caused by sedentary work conditions?

The robots still can’t.

And while the amount of automation is forever increasing, there’s still certain tasks that are extremely difficult to automate. The problem is, those difficult to automate processes are often hilariously easy for humans to do. Robots are great at doing the exact same thing over and over, but throw any variability into the mix, and it’s very difficult to make them able to adapt to it.

Depends on which trade and location you’re comparing with. Things vary wildly in the trades.

The pay part of that equation is dependent on where you are, and what trade you’re talking about.

Where I am, trades generally get paid more than any office job you’re going to get with just a random bachelors degree. And if you join one of the trade unions, especially one of the higher skilled industrial ones (so like electricians, pipefitters, millwrights, etc, as opposed to general labour or residential construction), your pay will be much higher than entry level office positions, and will likely stay higher than anyone who doesn’t get themselves into an upper management type position.
