There is no discharge of a round with a misfire, at least US terminology, misfiring is synonymous with failure to fire, it happens when the hammer / firing pin is released but the primer is not ignited. There is a stigma around unintentional discharges for a good reason, because it is almost always a _negligent_ discharge and not an _accidental_ discharge, if someone NDs I do not want them around me and a firearm.
Nah. There are lots of knowledgeable and precise people who speak of things with the amount of specificity required to communicate the important details.
Accurate word use is correct. Inaccurate word use is false. People care about true and false statements. Please only refer to your own beliefs, as your statment is patently false.
Pay people more, if it is important people will pay for it. If you want more people to be electricians create some incentive. Why are so many people ok with the supply and demand as a concept until it's about labor?
I have honestly been researching switching to this field because of the things this article talks about, and my desire to work with my hands more, but it doesn't make sense financially.
Why would I go to a trade school and sign up to take a pay cut, making $18/hr for four years before I get on average 60k a year after that? With almost no retirement options for when the trades eventually destroy my body, not a lot of extra money to save for retirement, so what's the point?
You need between 4,000 - 10,000 (depending on the state you are licensing in) hours of on the job experience as an apprentice working under a licensed journeyman to get your journeyman license
They aren't really 'rare' they just can't be cultivated in captivity at a commercial scale well due to their need for a symbiotic relationship with trees as well as Morels being very picky about their fruiting triggers. I have seen people successfully 'seed' an area by making a slurry by blending molasses, water, and wild foraged morels that were subpar and letting the spores germinate with a water aerator running in the bucket and dumping the slurry in areas on their property that were favorable to Morels.
>"...enslaved more than six-hundred people over the course of his life"
Seems to me that if you do own 600 people over the course of your life you, at least implicitly, condone slavery.
If you want to write him off that quickly, feel free, but you're short sighting yourself. Finding oneself in a society with slavery, Jefferson purchased slaves from owners that abused them, and then did his best to ensure others knew the cruelty of those individuals, triggering a local society shunning of them and repercussions in their church - which at the time was very powerful. Jefferson's own handling and treatment of his slaves was extremely humane considering the status quo at that time.
I think the only problem I see with this is that most competent bike thieves are going to know what bikes include gps and how to remove/disable it (or to strip it for parts and ditch the frame)
I think that it has a lot to do with the massive resurgence of labor organizing we've seen across the globe; People saw how much bullshit they're forced to deal with while applying for and doing their jobs. Seeing record breaking profits while facing down skyrocketing inflation, in many cases without so much as a COL adjustment, and have had enough. Meanwhile, these companies know, even if they refuse to acknowledge it, that labor creates value; If you can get more value out of something at the same or less cost that makes your bottom line look better, why would they not try and work employees as much as they can for the same price?
So now businesses want to make it seem like employees are to blame for refusing to allow themselves to be continually exploited in the same manner, which is why it is framed as 'quiet quitting' instead of 'only doing what they're paid to do'.
I also think that the pandemic/WFH may have given people a reason/time to do some reevaluation of what is important to them, what they want to invest their time into, and what they want to do with their lives generally, and me personally, it isn't to spend my life clicking buttons to make some number somewhere go up.
Peopleperson is trying to dodge around saying they don't want to live near people who are lower income. Often this is a way of saying, "I don't want people with different ethnic, racial, or cultural backgrounds near me."
It's more the density that people object to, not more people, or more housing. It's when there's an area in the denominator. More density means more cars, more air pollution, more traffic, more noise. More accidents, more time searching for parking and standing in lines. It may not add up to ruin, but it's objectively worse.
That's typically how it's done, yeah. Intentional communities will often market themselves specifically as walkable or transit adjacent.
But there's no reason not to take the things that work well in them and bring them elsewhere. Traffic separated bike lanes and Dutch style intersections are common sense improvements that we can build that improve access without requiring a car.
