Not if someone out there thinks that they could profit off a gray goo scenario

The big shift of people on ubi going from wage work to self employment being one of the biggest points of note from this study is interesting. That's probably a major reason why most US lawmakers would not want ubi.

Something I find interesting is this study didn't show an increase in hours worked unlike a couple of other smaller studies, that if I recall correctly focused on giving ubi to people who were not currently working.

I'm basically using a 2 stroke chainsaw motor and I get around 20 miles per liter on a 40-1 oil mix

AZ desperately needs one going in-between Phoenix and Flagstaff. Not that a route between Phoenix and Tucson isn't good it's just that there is so little options for going up north right now.

I have what is basically classified as a moped because I'm cheap and gas is expensive and I can get to Tucson from Phoenix in about an hour and a half longer than driving. I can't even go north reasonably because the state says the option for crappier vehicles is some overlong scenic route that makes going from Phoenix to Flagstaff be an extra 100+ miles.

There is zero mention of any antisemitism anywhere in the article. It's college kids being against what is happening in Gaza. I fail to see how criticism of a military occupation is equal to antisemitism.

The big thing that the article points to in quotes is Intifada which is kind of a call for civil unrest written on a sign. Intifada roots are from Palestinians protesting the occupation after Israel killed 4 civilians in what is many suspect was deliberate retaliation that went on for 5 years (1987-1993).

Probably people who have worked warehouse jobs. Amazon's regular schedule for warehouse workers has been 4 days a week for the last decade or so and other places like FedEx have similar schedules. Getting your 40+ hours in and having an extra day off is a game changer for jobs in that pay range

In 1921 the first vaccine for tuberculosis came out. In 2021 1.6 million people died from tuberculosis.

The medicine existing is great, but something tells me the people who need won't be getting it.

Israel has had a very loose criteria for military targets if you take a look at recent history. I think you bring up a major point.

Considering Netanyahu just said he would attack foreign aid for Palestine. Israel's actions like the IDF sniping kids in convenience stores, and taking shots at the Japanese medical personnel during the cease fire of operation pillar of defense/cloud, and targeting media offices should call into question, what does Israel consider a military target?

If we're looking into their heating capacity they should be able to heat approximately 7 and 1/2 gallons of water an hour. A lower end water heater can supply about 85 gallons of water per hour so you'd need about 11 of them to meet a small house capacity.

If we're looking at their water holding capacity and power consumption. The average house has a 40-60 gallon water heater and a Keurig has a 48oz reservoir. You would need 107 to get to a 40 gallons capacity. When heating they use 1500 watts according to the Internet, so you'd need 160,500 watts (or 1,345.75 amps) of Keurigs to be the equivalent of a low end water heater for a house. The average 40 gallon heater uses between 4500 and 5500 watts.

You don't need to get insurance just because you have a license. You can have a license and no car.

It could help you as far as some employers will ask if you have one and a few situations like that.

There's no real downside other than paying for the drivers license test. Even after it expires it'll still work for an ID.

My coworker's cousin got a vaccine once and later they dropped their cell phone and cracked the screen. Coincidence, or proof of the evils of vaccination?
