  • In my state they ended up passing a distracted driving law that includes eating while driving. It’s a secondary enforcement law (they can’t pull you over for it).

    If you run a red light while eating a hamburger, you’ll get the primary fine (running the red light) plus another $100 fine for distracted driving.

    Why? because for some people taking a drink or a bite of a burger will make them crash. This is especially true in urban areas with a ton of things a driver needs to be aware of and react to.


  • Layoffs are common very large companies because of how they operate.

    Although they start as innovative companies once they hit a certain size threshold internal inertia prevents any significant innovation.

    In order to maintain growth they must buy smaller innovative companies and capitalize on the innovation using their vaster resources.

    After they have sucked every last bit of money the purchased innovation, they layoff employees they purchase with the innovative company and all those they added in its ramp up.

    They then go on the hunt to purchase the next smaller innovative company.

    Mega corporations are a parasite on the economy.

    They are doing a major release every year. . Then they do 2-5 feature releases every year. The they do constant bug fix releases/and security updates.

    Often they change shit just for the sake of changing shit with no apparent rhyme or reason. I tried to figure out how to multi-task on my work iPad. Every release they change it and it’s all hidden commands. I finally just disabled multi-tasking and use my phone as an extra screen.

    It’s seriously much worse than my android phones. On my pixel I install a launcher, set it up how I like it and never see most of the changes between versions.


  • I think that the data Ukraine has on Russian losses is better than in any previous conflict. The drones are constantly flying over the battlefield recording.

    I also think that Ukraine has significant political reasons for attempting to be reasonably accurate. They rely on NATO for money, weapons, and supplies. They need to provide an reasonably accurate representation of what they are doing with the resources to keep their suppliers happy.

    It doesn’t need to be exact, just a reasonable estimate made in good faith.



  • Depends on the individual curcumstances.

    Not a lawyer, but have had way to many trainings on unemployment law over the years.

    Circumstance 1: An employee moved further away from the office and can no longer feesibly make the commute to the office. Back to office mandates would be a change in the primary work location. The employee would qualify unemployment even if they “quit”. This is the same for people who started remotely.

    Circumstance 2: The employee became the primary caregiver of children or a relative due to the flexibility allowed in working from home. A back to the office mandate would not allow them to continue this. The employee can argue for unemployment due to a change in the required work schedule (my wife successfully did this back in 2010).

    Circumstance 3: This one is a bit harder. The employee has performed their job superbly from home. They clearly and openly (preferably in writing) have stated they will not work in the office. The company has a back to the office mandate and then fires the employee for not showing up. The employee can argue this was a creative firing and the employer is on the hook for unemployment. The employee must have evidence that managers were aware of their unwillingness to work from the office prior to the mandate.
