I was wondering about that.....so the ADHD meds are basically low dose speed, right?

That's why the manufacturers got prohibited from SELLING disposable plastic items (e.g. straws) to consumers,

Where exactly did this ban on plastic straws happen?

I remember a couple years back seeing paper straws offered and places.....but that's long since disappeared from anywhere I live or visit.

And I've never seen plastic straws disappear here....

So SIX YEARS before just HR/Payroll software STARTS to roll out to just one small portion of the organization sounds reasonable? Granted, it can be a mess working with multiple vendors. But this sounds really long for something with such a [seemingly] narrow scope. HR/Payroll is a function that *every* business/organization does and it isn't rocket science. Surely 80+% of what they are doing is the same as anywhere else and is already written code/products.

While you would think there is a lot of commonality....that just is not the case.

All the different branches have different naming standards and policies and that doesn't even touch upon the many MANY idiosyncrasies that are embedded in LAW that you really cannot change....that's HAVE to be done a certain way....and pretty much none of it fits even remotely cleanly into a COTs products.

If you could easily change the business processes to fit the software, that would be easy, but then again....I might as well wish for a pony, and $10million in gold that comes with the stable for it....

The most surprising aspect of this story is learning that Kodak is somehow still alive and didn't go out of business years ago...

Maybe you missed it, but there's been a pretty big resurgence of film use in the past decade or two....for stills cameras as well as it still being an important media for motion pictures. So, there's film and the development chemicals sold for that....

Bad choices, like living near a refinery or a fracking operation, or a chemical car falls off a railroad track in the same city, or just breathing the air or drinking the water that the FDA doesn't seem at all interested in monitoring any more. Those kind of bad choices?

People can always MOVE....

It is the fact that very few are free to manage their 401k themselves, and those that are are highly discouraged from doing so.

Where are you seeing this?

I've got multiple 401K's out there from different jobs over the years....none of them discouraged or limited me from managing it myself......

I'll grant you over the years, some had more options to choose from that other early ones, but overall I've been quite free to invest my money as I wished in my 401K's when working W2 at times.

YouTube incentivizes videos to be over 10 minutes. Consequently, videos are made longer than they have to be. Watching them in high speed just compensates a problem that YouTube created in the first place.

It's simple drinkypoo,....

We're all depending on you to be our carbon credit....

Hey...there's LOTs of sugar sources you can ferment drink or even distill and then drink....no problems....

This is all interesting...

I haven't the faintest idea what a "Tory" or "Labour" is.....

One can assume that the "never surrender" faction would have had greater influence, if there were no nukes to make obvious that their stance was suicidal.

In the US there is exactly one [edmunds.com] EV you can buy for under $30,000 USD. I

No one in the US really wants the damned things....even at a lower price.

Not in any meaningful mass at this time at least....

What is a "CVT"?

So,...now you have a problem with people owning boats they can go fishing or enjoying water activities in...?

Geez....you folks are such downers....do you not do things that are fun?

I'd not like seeing someone trying to drop a boat in the water at the boat launch with a Toyota corolla....poor car would be half under water...

A nice truck has height which is helpful....
