They said they had a hard time finding men who would cry.

They also didn't test women sniffing women's tears, or men sniffing men or women sniffing men, or animal tears.

They left a lot of variables out of this one.

Any job with a clearance. Many of those just don't test in CA though unless they want you fired because otherwise they'd never be able to hire anyone.

Biden did tell Israel not to make the same mistake the US did after 9/11. He also has been pressuring them to reinstate access to things like water, food, shelter, and telling Israel not to kill civilians.

305m is 1000 feet. The USS ENTERPRISE was 342m or 1,123 feet.

A modern day FORD class carrier is 1092 ft or 333m.

For personnel comparison, ENTERPRISE held ~5000 people and a FORD class has between 4-5000 people.

The fact that NCC-1701 only had like 1000 people is...a big difference.

Since there's no minimum PTO requirement, yes but it has to be marked as sick time. Most employers in a state like California though know that they're going to be the bottom of the barrel if they don't offer more so they do.

Usually those other days though are just vacation days.

Most other countries have those days on top of unlimited sick time.

Most states don't even get 5, or 3.

The states that have mandates are (usual suspects incoming):

Arizona - 40 hours

California - 40 hours

Colorado - 48 hours

Connecticut - 40 hours

D.C. - 7 days

Maryland - 64 hours hrs

Massachusetts - 40 hrs

Michigan - 40 hrs

Nevada - 0.01923 hours per hour worked (works out to approximately 40 hours if you work a standard 40hrs/week, 52 weeks/yr

New Jersey - 40 hrs

New Mexico - 64 hrs

New York - 56 hrs

Oregon - 40 hrs

Rhode Island - 40 hrs

Vermont - 40 hrs

Washington - 40 hrs

Some cities/counties have their own requirements but I'm not going to list those. I wish the US did better on Healthcare, but, as with everything, it's the blue states dragging the country forward kicking and screaming.

Modern reactor design also pretty much makes runaway reactions nearly impossible, as in, you have to actually try to fuck it up.

Even Fukushima didn't have a runaway reaction, it just lost coolant.

Don't be a scab, don't deal with the "inconvenience" of people being hurt by scabs.

As with most things in the US, California has similar laws to the gdpr (though admittedly not as powerful), so a lot of websites are starting to change a bit in the US because of california.

Lawn use of water in Utah (by all entities, residential, government, and business) is between 6-8%, half of your "generous 15%" https://utahrivers.org/are-we-running-out-of-water#:~:text=Outdoor%20lawn%20watering%20in%20our,of%20Utah's%20total%20water%20use.

And that use is spread across millions of people. Even if you cut lawn use by 75%, you're cutting at most 6% of the states use. Or can cut agriculture use by 10% and get a larger reduction in overall water use.

We don't need alfalfa. We don't need flood irrigation. We also don't need Lawns, but that is such a small percentage you might as well tell people to stop flushing their toilet when they shit.

In the US this is called constructive dismissal. It's a tactic used by employers to get away with firing someone but not getting hit by unemployment insurance payments.

The good news for workers is, it still counts as being fired and you still qualify for unemployment if you "quit" under these conditions.
