From what little I have read, it seems like broader Europe is working towards that and other things without the US, but some countries have their own right wing issues.

Ya, Dogma was the first thing in my mind! This is pretty weird.

Given your last update, I am curious is that follows with meeting the “acceptable targets” that @[email protected] mentioned. This seems bad, but it is also complicated.

I had to look up enby, and you have a good point. I don’t have an answer to that. I’m not sure what the best option is there. I think that Doctor is viewed as neutral at this point, but it isn’t for me to say. I mentioned the above for historical purposes but we could have options!

As I understand it, Doctor is originally a male form, and Doctrix is female. FWIW

It has yet to not shock me how many of these employers cannot see the optics of their demand to end remote work. This one is pretty bad, tho.

Folks using any sort of adaptive equipment already have an increased likelihood of repair challenges. This move is not surprising, I suppose, with all sorts of things moving to unnecessary subscriptions or repair materials only available to dealers. However, in the US (ostensibly), anything sold thru Medicare etc can be regulated easier than a farm tractor or access van. Maybe there is hope.

technically possible temps will go down next year.

I sure hope so. But I think it would be bad to plan on luck alone (not that you are advocating for that).

It’s been awhile since I have seen talk about 2°, as if we have given up on that number. Maybe only in the US, where climate change isn’t even really discussed in a meaningful way by our two primary presidential candidates.

I am surprised also, the only person I know that uses one is an old cowboy that got hit by a truck 45 years ago and has mobility issues. He has a long wooden one, possibly designed for riding boots.

Agreed, mainly speculatory. So is this 🙂

I would expect the interpreters to be North Korean military people who are fluent in Russian. They can understand the order and then dictate it in a culturally appropriate manner. But this is Russia and DPRK, so they probably aren’t worried about that. I would also expect that the soldiers, are reporting to a normal unit commander for the same reason.

Like your final question mentions, at the end of the day, we dont really know what role they will fulfill. It could be logistical. It could be meat grinder.

I have a picture but it’s pretty grainy.

This is an interesting question. It is possible that they train with interpreters in mind.

Whoa John Lennon, that would require respect and sharing.

I get it not everyone has the … experience

This is really what it boils down to. I never had this issue as a mechanic, but I didn’t generally use pinch welds as a jack point. Most vehicles have numerous options for using a floor jack. You could use a control arm, or cross member, or sometimes a drivetrain component. Additionally, sometimes the pinch weld has a designated spot for jacking that seems to be reinforced.

Maybe what you are saying only applies to newer vehicles and I am out of date. Totally possible! I did not experience this 10+ years ago, tho. Only on exceptionally rusty cars that the driver would be challenged to install thr spare on the side of the road.

I don’t use a VPN and they are still highly problematic. I get stuck in a cycle, like with cloudflare.

Just commenting to second the allergy, even tho it may not be the issue here. I always had awful reactions over the ~15 years I tried it off and on. Terrible. Not like CHS at all. You’re right, allergy (or something) is a thing. But probably not what OP has (not a doctor).

True. Terrible mentality 🙁

So a lynch mob basically?

I understand the pushback against names like this, and concern for kids receiving these names, but I think it is misdirected. Ya, sure, maybe sometimes the name is literally made up, or in other cases has multiple variations on a theme, but anyone with immigration in their ancestry can tell you that naming conventions do not always move well to other countries. In the USA, we have multiple spellings for names like Muhammed and Dermitt because of this. I don’t see why this is a big deal and think it potentially enriches culture.
