Flexible time is not the definition of contract labor. Uber is taking advantage of drivers because their business, by definition, is short term with allot of pauses. The driver is the one that ‘waits’ for the next call. But uber counts on them for being available at a moments notice. Availability is the asset that…

Flex time does not equal contractor status. Many people now working from home know this. They also have an office space that isn’t paid for by the company. Finally, I don’t know any ‘contractor’ that is allowed to work for a competitor as that isn’t they way a contractor relationship goes for anybody but Uber/Lift.

Everyone now working from home now knows that flexible time does not mean you are immediately an independent contractor.

Disappointed there was no comment on the two couples odd embraces.

Yeah, gotta wait for the midlife crisis. 10 years of restraint is going to make it so much better when it happens. The decision of what car will have time to formulate and mature so that you end up with the perfect car (and have time to save money to get it).

I was so high on endorphins the minutes after getting my PhD, when I left the stairwell to go into another building, I pushed on the pull door and slammed my head into the window. This cartoon flashed into my starry head. Most humbling moment of my life.

17 days less of this is worth it.

exactly this. Used car owners are now going to pay full new car price for all of the accessories.

It is worse than that, you pay continuously ‘brand new’ pricing for upgrades for a an old used car.

Pretty sure much of that can be solved by requiring helmets, air-bag suits and kevlar. But no, you keep being you until you’re hamburger on the side of the road.

Yes, but the hose and handle are on the right side of the pump to show the same thing.

With CA now requiring 100K electric truck in a few years, I would disagree.  Before last week, I would have agreed.

Some are just dumber than others; Most Texans know that Live Oaks are brittle trees. They snap even in moderate wind.

My XC70 is the youngest model P2 body, with 115K miles and it still costs me $2k per year in keeping it running - cheeper than new car payments, but sounds way out of budget in this case. Every year it is something for this car - Shock towers one year, rusty brake lines, parking brake seized and disintegrated at 60…

I am sorry that it took me until the death of George Floyd and the near continuous police brutality this last week to get the distinction of Black Lives Matter. I do believe in the exact words of the other chant (I am a literalist and engineer to heart), but it took alot of listening and reading this week to come to a…

I believe that they said that the pitch is dependent on the wind velocity, maybe not here but elsewhere.  That would be proof to me that it was the vibrating eddies fluttering.  The bars material properties and lengths are not wind velocity dependent and their natural frequencies would remain fixed.

It is vortex shedding of the air off of the bars. The air is resonating not the bars.

I would rather she make the damed if you do and be right decision.
