Sure, but

  1. She didn't endorse Harris

  2. If she did endorse Trump, the harassment would have been a magnitude less. Individuals will be individuals, but the leaders of one group are denouncing harassment and violence while the leaders of the other group are inciting it.

The Verge's recommendation of Brother Printers

Yes, they literally wrote that article as a meme. It's been a joke on the VergeCast for years that their printer recommendation is, "Get the cheapest Brother printer that meets your needs (duplex, scanner, colour, etc). You'll almost certainly be happy with it." In your case, even if you don't want it, you'll probably get a scanner, but it doesn't add that much to the price.

It's really not. If that's the case, then they shouldn't be allowed to go into the coffee shop while on shift, they have to go through the drive thru. If they are taking work break, then they need to have coverage, just like other jobs!

Minor injuries are common and occasionally recruits die

Even worse, this quote comes from an assistant professor of criminology and criminal justice at the University of South Carolina. Also, the start of the quote states:

The type of training described in the lawsuit is common in the United States and helps prepare recruits for scenarios they could face on patrol [emphasis added]

Maybe I'm being misreading, but I read this as the professor is condoning this type of training. This type of training seems to support the whole "Warrior Ethos" and I know when I left the Canadian Army almost a decade ago, they were trying to eliminate this type of training as higher ups recognized how toxic it is.

I think he's just admitting he's a bad driver. I've backed trailers into tighter spaces.

Everyone involved with that project is also probably dead.

Literally, the FIRST sentence of the article is talking about someone who's been involved with Voyager I from the start. Yes, the project has outlasted many of it's original engineers, but to say, "Everyone involved with that project is also probably dead," for a major mission that launched 46 years ago is obviously untrue.

Can someone explain to me how this is "A Breach of Yemeni Sovereignty"? It seems like these actions are supported by the internationally recognized government in Yemen. (I'm not asking about the validity of these actions, or the horrendous effects of them. Just the sovereignty question)

Also, is this the interviewee? It appears she is a language and literacy assistant professor who happens to be Yemeni American, not an expert on the Yemen war, international law, or anything else relevant to these events.

It's not "when" they put green bubbles in but how they've been maliciously modifying the design of green bubbles. They have made them progressively harder to read, here's one article about it: https://uxdesign.cc/how-apple-makes-you-think-green-bubbles-gross-e03b52b12fed

But it might be the future for airplanes, which need a lot more energy density.

Specifically density by weight. By volume, which is more important to cars, hydrogen also loses.

Either the organizations didn’t message properly, or a lot of people moved despite being told that the wfh wasn’t a permanent remote work accommodation.

A lot of employers straight up lied. In some situations, management said employees would be permanent WFH but they didn't have that authority. In other situations, employers changed their mind and the employees have no recourse other than trying to call the employers bluff.

The employees ARE being compelled to work under threat. It might not be dictionary definition slavery, which is why the article calls it one of the "contemporary forms of slavery".

This policy doesn't seem weird to me at all, but I'm Canadian. I've seen establishments that don't allow weapons on site. So except in emergency situations, police officers need to secure their weapon before they enter the store (I think they put them in the gun locker in the trunk of their car?).
