I'm just being silly, but isn't this technically due to his lack of money?

I got one a couple years ago for Christmas. Guess you can still buy them from those mail order catalogs...

But I use it all the time! It's so handy.

After Fukushima there was a pretty widespread movement to get rid of nuclear power.

They probably definitely wanted it closed. To bad they didn't guess the likely alternatives that would take its place, an push for that too...

More like he needs to know when to take a break when she's most fertile so they can procreate. He's already gone by the time she's having "her time of the month"

If you're into books, it's also the first book in the Southern Reach Trilogy. The movie was good, but the books really flesh out the situation. I was sad they didn't continue the movies with the rest of the books.

Yeah i always thought that was stupid. If thats what it means, I wonder if that means it will count towards the 8 hours you actually work? I wonder if companies would want to pay people for the extra hour vs losing an hour of productivity.

Trading off breaks for going home an hour "early" actually sounds like an interesting proposition for office workers, for people that work outside or in a factory, not so much.

I feel like I spent to much time in the sun today...

Why is nobody talking about this?

It would also eliminate the need to pay time and a half overtime on the seventh consecutive day of work for people working at least 40 hours a week,

Am I missing something here. Do these people get paid overtime if they work 7 days in a row, period, as long as they work 40 hours a week? Or does this mean if you work over 40 hours and 7 days in a row, you do not get your overtime pay for the 7th day, even if that puts you over 40 hours?

While i understand many people dont work 7 days in a row, I'm unclear as to why eliminating overtime pay, in any capacity, isn't a bigger part of this story. I understand breaks are important and it's not right to take that away, for various reasons, but to eliminate any form of overtime pay is also a big WTF. Idk, this isn't a thing in my state

And then there's this:

The bill, if it becomes law, would require employers to pay workers while they are eating instead of giving them a break.

Are they supposed to eat their sandwich while working? The break is only as long as the employee is actively eating? If there's no break, how are they eating, at all?

Idk. Not like its unusual for me to be dense, but these things really make no sense to me.

That's what happened to me. Needed a printer in the middle of covid, ASAP. Nothing I researched was there, so I had a limited time to just pick a printer. Hmmm, this HP seems ok...

3 months later, there was no way I used all the ink. WTF. Go to buy more, and thats when I realized my mistake. !@#☆$%^&*

I've heard good things about the tank printers

I almost had a thought about one article I saw about how patriot front was seen being helped into the trailer by the local police force. Of course the article went on to conclude that PF must be FBI in disguise... They couldnt possibly be the same that burn crosses.
