Biden: End the tipped minimum wage.

Tipping also disappears.

Servers: Not like this!

"Everything we've done (bugger all) hasn't worked, so we'll allow these companies to merge and reduce competition further with 'enforceable' conditions attached that everyone recognizes won't do a thing." Have they thought of nationalization? Competition with a crown company? A giant surtax on their ludicrous profits? Heavy regulation? A license/board scheme where their plans and prices need approval before making offers?

I wouldn't mind writing, but I'd first have to find a date...

We have systems for that. We can join the various 'teams' of people doing the punching and we can, as a group, demand that they change their practices - next convention the group votes on replacing ball punches with a hearty 'punchbuggy' to the shoulder. Several leaders run and make promises on how hearty to make that shoulder-punch, and we select someone for the next election between face, neck and shoulder. You don't get to complain about where the 3 parties are punching if you aren't in there telling them to change their target - otherwise you got party die-hards saying things like "we've always punched to the neck, and that's what Canadians want."

I like this one the best. A dilemma is not necessarily that there's no good options, but rather the decision is difficult. Think of the time traveler killing Hitler problem: if you kill Hitler too early, he isn't globally hated anymore when time plays out, and you're just a murderer. Too late, and you've allowed so many people to die just to justify that he deserves to die... Where's the 'right time?' There's a giant spectra of time that you can make as a justification of when to kill Hitler.

Yeah. Bicycle - two wheels. Bisection - two sections. Yes, you are cutting a something into parts, but it's identifying you have 2 of them after the cut. If you have 3 sections after the cutting, it's trisected.

Sorry buddy, but being dragged up and offered where to be punched, I'm absolutely exercising my right to choose (and to be honest, I'm kind of thinking neck at the moment). I refuse to be a sad sack that gets punched in the balls and laments that there was no other option.

Small cells and industrial plants are different. Charging some cells produces an off-gas of hydrogen, which requires you to change the air in the room with the cells, which means fans. You also have to ensure that the temperature of the room stays within certain bounds, which could mean bigger fans.

In terms of cells, batteries don't really smell like anything I find. However, you need to top up the water levels which requires distilled or deionized water. Will they be doing water treatment on site?

All that being said, there's more than enough room for a discussion about concerns. These yokels jumped right to death threats instead of progress. I wish nothing but rolling blackouts and a lack of jobs for them in the future.

I'll take the party that is marginally better than the rest. Why wouldn't you select the best option?

[–] Splitdipless@lemmy.ca 5 points 11 months ago

I think that's what they meant.

Screw them. Let this be a lesson to any new business that thinks of investing in moving to the area. Kill any chance at a job in the area and let the community rot away.
