The mental gymnastics is astounding.

Two Christmases‽ I’m there.

Pretty sure China still pays out people but they don’t have any real court challenges. No court that says “do you really need this project, mathematically prove it”, “did you do x y and z study. Yes? Do it better.”, “did you have public consultation and address their concerns. Not good enough do it again.” Etc. That shit costs a lot.

This is what you voted for protest-non-voters.

The science office “is the heart and brain of the E.P.A.,” said Justin Chen, president of A.F.G.E. Council 238. “Without it, we don’t have the means to assess impacts upon human health and the environment. Its destruction will devastate public health in our country.”

Inb4 “why didn’t the Dems fix it fast enough?”

So does that add up to 3 thinks, or multiply to 4 thinks?

I already said it’s not about 1 person, it’s about a team. I see you’re finally adding the caveats “for an important reason”, that’s what I’ve been saying all along. Now you just have to add the other things I’ve been saying: For training and random conferences, it adds up. It’s about the total cost. Etc. Ok I think this has reached its end point, ciao.

The boss doesn’t care about the percentage, they care about the bill. The total amount.

Unfortunately I see headlines every now and then that whatever password manager was compromised.

Apparently it’s a big thing in South America to go to Disney World. Family of 4 just added $1k. It’ll make you think twice.

For 1 person you could, but send over a team and it just added up. You’d do it only if you really need to woo a customer, something that directly adds to the bottom line. If it’s for training or a casual meeting, why would you? I know the perception is companies have endless money but they really don’t and they pinch pennies plenty. Travel adds up.

The “visa integrity fee” applies to all visitors who need nonimmigrant visas, which includes tourists, business travelers and international students.

The fee is paid when the visa is issued, according to the provision.

Every international business meeting and conference just cancelled. Visits to Disney World plummet.

If you write it on paper, include the same short word on the end of all your passwords that you don’t write down. Password is Hunter2duck but you only write down Hunter2.

*Actually this might be a good idea for password managers too. Brb. **I wonder if hackers thought of this too. If so this could be easy to crack if they get past the password manager. Maybe inserting a letter into the password after the nth character would work better.

The verification process relies on Aadhaar eKYC (Electronic Know Your Customer), a digital identity verification system that uses data linked to India’s 12-digit biometric ID. For Anganwadi beneficiaries, this system connects to the ICDS database, which stores Aadhaar details for all registered individuals. When someone’s Aadhaar isn’t updated or their eKYC is incomplete, the system sends an OTP to the mobile number stored in ICDS records.

For such beneficiaries, verification is only considered successful when both facial recognition and OTP authentication are completed, a process that often becomes a major hurdle in areas with poor mobile connectivity.

You guys are coming at this from different angles and talking past each other. The 4 time zones were created by the railways to cut down on, essentially, the infinite number that existed because every town had their own sundial and time. He’s looking at it going from infinite down to 4, you’re looking at it going from 1 up to 4.

Going to work on your bike? Prepare for time travel.

Did you know my car can travel through time? Just like everyone else’s.

Nah it’s way easier to have 1. You don’t have to constantly adjust. Countries that can get away with it have 1, notably China.

France, Netherlands, Belgium, Spain should be in a different time zone, but they went to German time (because of Nazis) for a fairly uniform continent.

8 out of 24, the lucky 1/3.

NYC lines up with Greece.
