No, invasive species are not just weeds. Invasive species are non-native weeds that choke out native plants and destroy existing ecosystems.

What is your company going to do when you are hit by a bus on the way to work? If they can’t handle you being gone then what about other important positions? This sounds like a company teetering on the edge.

Any company should be able to run temporarily without any given employee. If they can’t then they are one major illness away from bankruptcy.

You might switch to a treadmill instead of the elliptical for some of your training. Ellipticals, as you found, do not really reflect running.

It’s step 1 that’s the problem. I actually don’t want to get out of bed.

Actually, they pretty much do only teach about black historical figures for one month. Yes, Martin Luther King, Jr. gets one day in January. George Washington Carver may get a mention at some other time. Rosa Parks may get a mention. But, seriously, the entire reason for Black History Month is that they ARE ignored…

I wonder how much of the drop is due to the short-term benefits of having spending-money. That is, going from having a reasonable amount of spending money in high school to college and having (basically) none.

It ought to give directions. I almost always check the directions before I leave on the off chance that they’re wrong. (Although, I guess without a screen how are you going to know if they’re wrong.) In addition, I would think that checking directions on Home would forward(pre-load really) those directions to your…

Oblig: This seems pretty obvious.

Since you have one, can it be set so that only the light comes on with no sound alarm?

Re: “Leaving early may not be the most efficient use of your time”

I disagree with the premise that people are late because they are busy. Most of the busy people I know are always on time. People are late because they don’t mentally account for things like travel time, or because they decide (passively or actively) that doing something NOW is more important than being on time.

I don’t believe this. It sounds like they same sort of myth as opening a wine bottle to let it breath. If your wine needs aeration you need to decant it.

Oddly (to me), the CDC site doesn’t address distillation, which to quote wikipedia “In theory, a solar (condensation) still removes all pathogens, salts, metals, and most chemicals but in field practice the lack of clean components, easy contact with dirt, improvised construction, and disturbances result in…

It’s a still (not a filter), so hypothetically it should clear the water of anything with a vaporization point that is high enough that it doesn’t vaporize in the bottle. I would think that with the solar UV in addition it would be effective against bacteria as well.

Because if you are buying your gf a kitchen item you’re saying that she belongs in the kitchen (You expect that she’s the one to use it). Or, the gift is for you, not for her. Kitchen items are things for parents to buy as a gift for both of you.

As I read it (and I am not a lawyer) if an employer has an “actual practice” of improper deductions, which would include not paying for days where any work is done, then they lose exempt status and have to pay overtime retroactively. Actual practice is doing a lot of heavy lifting in the Fact Sheet, but I would…

According to the Department of Labor fact sheet.

Yes, it is breaking and entering even if the door is unlocked.

Except that the President is supposed to be elected by the states, not by the people. Because the United States is a republic of the States and the Federal Government is supposed to be the government of those states.
