Cycling and rowing machines are probably the only practical options for that - they both have intentional friction brakes to dissipate energy, because they are actually efficient enough to need them.
Treadmills still need to put power in because of the friction, and most weight or spring machines rely on you absorbing the energy you just put in (unless you drop the weights…)
Even nightly doesn’t seem to be necessary; I’ve used those for years without issue
Oh lordy.
U-series number plate; this is probably a pretty old photo of a pretty old bus.
Yeah, I need to figure out GSIs. Finding non-flagship phones with decent custom rom communities is getting harder.
It’s not just AI, but new android phones drive me spare.
You can’t disable that. You can’t uninstall that. You can’t make a backup of the whole phone. You can’t make a backup of one app and restore it to a different phone, unless you go through Google. We’re going to install these apps you don’t want, and there’s no way to cancel it.
Did you not find an answer yourself; i.e. ‘asshole’? Most other anatomical inserts also apply, at least the non-gendered ones.
Does not offend any particular group, except perhaps those with a colostomy.
Still an insult.
The remainder are generally insulting because they imply you’re so X that you must be a member of group X. I.e. calling someone brain-dead, an idiot, a moron, slow, the French word for slow etc. You can’t call someone stupid without calling them stupid, even in an indirect way.
Edit: Neanderthal and troglodyte might work on the grounds that you’re comparing them to extinct species, and of course you could go for inanimate objects e.g. thick as pigshit, as smart as a bag of rocks etc.
ToS is effectively a contract.
This interpretation of the ToS could be deemed unconscionable, but that seems like the kind of argument that takes a judge and 5-6 figures in legal fees to settle.
An arbitrator is just going to read it, say ‘yup, you broke the rule’, and side with the company.
I would hope so. CFRA seems to be the only explicit protection.
If it was just plain old trademark/copyright law, you’d be right.
It sounds like Tesla are basically saying that you signed an NDA/non-disparagement clause when you bought the vehicle, and therefore it’s a contract dispute.
Doh.
Most phones seem to give you the option to skip the next alarm. That may be better than disabling it?
Brick does really badly in earthquakes, at least without major reinforcing. ‘Unreinforced masonry’ can be fatal pretty easily.
Brick veneer over timber framing can be a thing.
In a lot of the world, a school bus is a normal city bus that gets “school” signs put on the front and back, and runs a specific route. There’s not much point in maintaining a dedicated fleet.
Even “App App” would be better.
Here in NZ I believe they mostly can set their own routes, being ‘independent’ contractors.
I have heard Amazon in particular is super tight in the US.
And probably drives on the most efficient route for their run.
You’re about halfway along the run? They’ll always pass you about halfway through the day.
Redundancy doesn’t necessarily come with a golden handshake, though many employment contracts do mandate it.
But they do have to try to find you another job elsewhere in the organisation if that’s possible, and they have to disestablish the position not necessarily you. That means that if they want to make one person from a team redundant, they generally have to actually ask if anyone wants to leave, and if not, run a transparent process to decide who from the team to make redundant, not just pick someone.
You also have to not be planning to re-hire for the role any time soon as that would imply the redundancy wasn’t genuine.
If you’re in a country with good worker protection, there’s a big difference between ‘made redundant’ and ‘fired for cause’. There is no ‘fired for no reason’.
Running through a tent site is not the world’s smartest plan. You’ll trip on a guy wire.
Where on earth do they get the ‘AYD’ from?
Seems like spifk, sporf, or knorkoon might be more sensible.
Pushing up the price of oil and stopping production could actually be carbon negative.
