It probably wouldn’t hold up in court, but it can be used as a bludgeon to dissuade people from filing in the first place. Roku is totally allowed to lie and say “You can’t sue, you agreed to mandatory arbitration. // You can’t join the class action, you agreed not to. If you do either of these things, we’ll sue you.”

This could easily dissuade quite a few people from litigating, limiting how much the company needs to pay out.

And if you rush them, then things go wrong in a hurry. It doesn’t matter how much documentation you have if the operator skips steps or plain old makes a mistake.

I’ve personally blown up thousands of dollars in tooling making stupid mistakes when I was a junior machinist being told we had deadlines to meet. I’ve seen other guys forget to probe a work offset and crash the machine so badly it needs a spindle rebuild. A press operator can wreck a $100,000 die set if they make even relatively easy mistakes, and if that happens to the wrong tool, it can completely shut down production for months for a repair or rebuild.

If there’s a 1 in a million chance that any of those 10,000 employees makes a big, showstopping mistake on a given day, then after 100 days, there’s a 63% chance of that event happening.

A car driven by a human is unlikely to need firefighters to lift the vehicle up to get at the woman pinned by its tire. Even if they’re good at general driving they have an unfortunate habit of making emergencies worse.

Trump’s PAC is paying his legal fees, not Trump himself. So far the Save America PAC seems to have spent at least 10 million on legal fees for the former president.

This is per year. And most degrees are 4 years, though it’s not uncommon for them to run to 5. So by the time a student graduates they have on average ~$37k in debt.

The House GOP voted down the funding bill the House GOP proposed: https://thehill.com/homenews/house/4230386-house-conservatives-tank-gop-short-term-funding-bill/

They may need to make concessions to Democrats that they would otherwise not need to make to get this passed, despite having a majority of the House.

Because once the firm is big enough where the decision-maker doesn’t personally know the people they’re laying off, it almost immediately turns into this. The severance pay and unemployment of 80 software developers is millions of dollars, enough for even people who are normal and nice to the people they know to look the other way and say it was for the good of the company.

World war 2.1.

The issue is that by Senate policy, one person can throw a massive wrench in the process and grind things to a halt. Progressives typically want to do things, which cannot be done by one person throwing a hissy fit.

The horror! Some workers are making a decent living! This cannot stand!

A place can have a barren atmosphere and aesthtic while also having content to find, even if that content is more sparse or minimal, suited to that lonely environment

That’s exactly what they’ve done.

A “barren” planet still has stuff. In the 5 minutes or so that I did random exploration I found a colonist hut that was razed by pirates with a hidden chest with like 3k credits, and a random vendor who was going a little nuts for being alone so long. Nothing incredible, but enough to make the place not feel dead on a random frozen moon.

They’re trams in the city, so relatively slow. Live and maintained vegetation has too much water to burn: boiling away the water takes more energy than the fuel provides.

It’s probably also got those pop-up sprinklers, so if a fire does happen, you just turn on the water.

I’m just wondering what the prompt was that made this.

I think anime eyes IRL would be horrifying.

Both! Just because someone has a D next to their name doesn’t exempt them from the law.

As a supporter of the voluntary human extinction movement, I agree.

So 1kg is around 61,000 USD at the moment.

Cancer risk from radiation is not just the absolute amount of exposure, but the duration of the exposure as well. Short high-intensity radiation doses carry higher risk than long, low-intensity doses.

And 100mSv/yr is a rate, which is greater than 44mSv/yr. After 4 years, you will still have not had the dose needed that is linked with increased cancer risk.
