Having worked in retail sales where a significant portion of my pay was based on performance... there are a lot of problems with performance based incentives. They inevitably get people to focus on only the one or two aspects those are based on, while everything else suffers. They almost always end up punishing individuals that have any sort of outside situation like needing to take sick time or simply taking vacation time.

If all you give a shit about is work, which is not mentally healthy in most cases, especially since were talking about employees here not business owners and partners that are invested, that works for some people. Usually those that are trying to escape their life outside work are the ones that works best for, and that says a lot.

Propaganda is effective. Especially when there is no counter to its spread for decades.

Oh no there's a lot of bullshit with the boomers. Lead is just one of many things. It's not all just because they're assholes, there are some legitimate contributors that result in the extreme bullshit pie.

I never said it was a pass. But it is something you must take into account.

We added fucking lead to everything back then. Even the fucking water lines and gasoline pumping it into every breath they took whether they wanted to or not. An entire generation fucked by lead without knowing it at the time.

Lead exposure has been shown to things like increased aggression. Which propaganda then takes to the next level by stoking artificial fear.

Large population of boomers with a lifetime of lead poisoning, and they vote.

Likewise, I can prevent anything from even entering my network that I don't want on it.

Badically. "Liquid/fluid" and "gas" don't necessarily mean the same thing scientifically as they do colloquially, they're actually very close to the same thing.

Fluid dynamics covers the study of liquids, gasses, and plasmas because they're effectively the same.

Note that the speed of sound isn't a constant across various media. Just like the speed of light isn't a constant on different media. The "speed of light" we usually refer to is specifically in a vacuum. Light travelling through a media like water or a prism actually changes speed, however slight.

The same happens to sound. The speed of sound at altitude is different from sea level for instance, because of the atmospheric pressure difference. And sound doesn't propagate at all in a vacuum because it requires the wave to move molecules, which don't exist in a vacuum.

Seems like applying it in this manner, if it really can be, would make the law as written a constitutional violation.

She was Florida AG from 2011 to 2019. At any point in there she could have prosecuted Epstein separately from the deal Alex Acosta made in 2008. Plenty of new information was available after that and ignored by the State of Florida under her watch.

He was appointed to fill a seat vacated by someone moving to the cabinet. He's not beholden to anyone, and Govtrack ranked him as the most conservative member of the 117th Congress in Feb 2023.

He's 100% safe to do whatever he or his handlers want.

Or you pay monthly for a law service. Those types of letters are exactly what those programs are intended to cover.

No she was involved with the Epstein shit back in Florida decades ago. She's been involved in covering this shit up well before it got to this point.

 

NASA and Boeing officials pushed back Friday on headlines that the commercial Starliner crew capsule is stranded at the International Space Station but said they need more time to analyze data before formally clearing the spacecraft for undocking and reentry.

Only have this device to test at the moment, but I can get it to do it every time.
