There are plastics better than metal - but they are not cheap, most looking for plastics look for cheap and so often anything plastic you can get is junk.

I'm replacing my lead soldered copper with pex as I go.

We test droveithe buzz. Very nice van, but I can't see paying that price.

It is a theory, but as you read the article you discover many of the examples given have not checked out.

The downside to time cost is nobody will every break the records of old. (though we also know that in the past drugs, blood doping, and other things that are not allowed was done so breaking records may not be possible anyway)

Asking about the culture and work environment is what you are supposed to be doing when they ask "are there any questions". I've never had a problem finding a job where I'm expected to work about 40 hours and go home. Once in a while they ask for extra work in an emergency, but that is rare and they have all made it up to me somehow.

The protection isn't great I'll agree, but it isn't hard to find places that don't treat you like that. Don't work for the rest no matter how interesting the job is.

Exempt employees are expected to get their work done, but the work does need to be reasonable. If they give you 40 hours of meetings you can have a good case they are asking too much to expect anything more. While hours are not given by law, there is still an expectation of reasonableness.

Which is to say they cannot fire you for not getting your work done. However at-will means they can let you go - but that is not firing you for cause and there is a big difference in how the law treats that.

That does happen. The law doesn't back them up, but many companies have that culture and good luck proving you were let go because of that vs something that is legal.

There are plenty of jobs that are more reasonable. They tend to be boring jobs though, so many are willing to pay the price to work a more exciting job.

There are plenty of people who openly admit that they don't want anyone to own guns. Gun control doesn't have to mean you won't be able to own guns, but it is a reasonable fear of those who want to own guns that it will mean they can't.

Unfortunately war keeps proving the mines are a very useful tool, and they work well as part of a battle plan when used early. That makes the shoot and forget strategy a very useful one for any military commander.

The better answer is limited lifespan. Maybe remote triggers - if the enemy doesn't learn how to trigger them. That is when we think the current battle is over any mines left should just destroy themselves in hopes that nobody happens to be near them.

This is a good thing if you love non-fascist governments. The rule itself is something to support, but it was created in the way of fascism and so needed to be struck down on that basis.

The task now is to rebuild the rule in the correct way.

The bigger point about cloud that most miss is make sure you are paying them a reasonably price for the service. So long as you are the customer and not the product the cloud can be good.

That has not been my experience. There is always more work to do than I have time. However it doesn't pile up because lower priority work just doesn't get done.
