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.
If you’re not upset, why’d you call them cunts?
That’s like $700 per violation. Easily worth it if it means filling the position a week earlier than following the law.
It’s so strange that you get a bulk discount on criming.
From a (US) financial perspective, a phone charger takes about 5 watts of electricity. At $0.010/kWh that’s $0.0005/hr (or ¢0.05/hr) of charging. This is utterly negligible.
For reference, a worker at the federal minimum wage of $7.25/hr would be paid that much after 0.25 seconds of working. It’s not even worth paying an employee to tell you to not plug in, which would probably take at least 15 seconds.
Naturally, some businesses may want to discourage people from loitering, but more often than not, they probably want your business (library, grocery store, coffee shop &c) or understand that reality happens.
The great thing is that there’s no competition between lemmy and kbin. We can use whichever we prefer and still have access to all the same communities.
Then why is there the option of defederating at all?
In an email to friends, I could see these coming off as rude. But at least in my region, they come off as professional and concise.
You can be ousted with a lot of popular support if you really piss off a small number of people. A leader has more wiggle room with high popular support and a strong military and police force, but if those institutions weaken, then the possibility of a violent overthrow increases.
Russia’s population is ~143 million. If even 1 in 1000 people take up arms, that’s a 143,000 strong army. If 1% participate in a general revolt, that’s 1.4 million people, which could easily overwhelm institutions and bring an already weakened economy down.
You posted the exact same image here. You should probably read the sidebar, especially rule 3: “No Spam.”
With the hazard that such a large organization has, and the likely vested interest Meta has in destroying or absorbing the Fediverse, I feel that the default should be defederate, and only if Meta has proven to be acting in good faith, we can federate with them.
They definitely want to know about your sex life. Advertisers want to target pregnant/expecting women, happily married people, unhappily married people, men in dry spells, gay men, lesbians, kinksters and so on. Even if they’re not marketing sexual products, advertisers will want to target those groups.
In an event like that, I would expect a complete inspection of the piers and any other elements that may have been affected. If the bridge is damaged enough for this kind of collapse to be possible, we should be either closing it or limiting it to light traffic until repairs can be made. Stuff like this shouldn’t be left to to chance, and the fact that it seems to be that way so frequently in the US should be terrifying, and entirely unacceptable. We should be demanding better infrastructure with budgets for maintenance baked in.
“If you fail to schedule time for maintenance, the machine will schedule it for you” is a common refrain in manufacturing. I’m consistently amazed that we fail to inspect and maintain our roads and bridges.
So I googled around, and found this conviction: https://www.justice.gov/archive/opa/pr/2008/February/08_crm_145.html
Justin Eric King, 27, of Chipley, Fla., has been sentenced to 41 months in prison followed by three years supervised release resulting from his conviction on charges of conspiracy to commit visa fraud, visa fraud and conspiracy to commit alien smuggling, Assistant Attorney General Alice S. Fisher of the Criminal Division and United States Attorney Gregory R. Miller of the Northern District of Florida announced today. The defendant and his co-conspirators brought illegal aliens, mostly from Bulgaria and Romania, to work in the hotel industry in and around Destin, Fla. King was sentenced by Senior District Court Judge Lacey A. Collier of Pensacola, Fla.
This isn’t usually what we think of as “human trafficking.” It seems that the people he smuggled understood what they were doing, and not being forced or coerced it. If that were the case, additional charges of exploitation would have been filed.
Bus rapid transit is a thing, as are bus lanes. It’s cool! No flying buses necessary.
When I lived in a city with good transit, biking and then taking the bus was more reliable than driving to work. Driving puts you at the whims of traffic and construction, some of which may or may not be forecastable.
And here your one voice can have an impact on a mag or community. Your contributions can grow a community, and change how it feels.
On Reddit, even a small community is 10,000+ members, your voice is drowned out by thousands of others, your contribution is barely registered.
Man, this is true. So far my experience has been less stressful and more wholesome on the fediverse. It feels more like Reddit from 8 years ago than modern, angry Reddit.
As a supporter of the voluntary human extinction movement, I agree.
