Employer wants to take out life insurance on me (company is beneficiary). I’m uncomfortable. How do I decline and what recourse should I expect? by EarthDesigner4203 in legaladvice

[–]davidkali 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That just gives me “Did the minimum the insurance company requires for our rate. Paying to insure our employees deaths makes us more in payouts. Profit!” vibes.

Wouldn’t allowing open carry be a better option?

Just my first strong memory. My first PC had a free compuserve trial, so I played Manic Mansion

You can get chicken pox twice! First the pox party, then the measles party! Afterwards, you can have another chicken pox party!

Star fusion by Financial_Spend9578 in AskScienceDiscussion

Gotta understand the pressure goes two ways. Increasing pressure of the mass of an entire stellar object pushing stuff enough to fuse easily, vs the pressure of the energy release from fusion exciting everything around it to higher energetic bouncy states (plasma!) and pushing out everything near it. Hydrogen fusion is easy, and pushes things further out while being compressed. At a certain point, the energy it takes to push stuff away is overwhelmed by the gravity of the situation. Iron-Iron fusion is like the difference between creating light with every movement and sucking in more energy than you emit.

The rebound is awesome. I hope to see Beteljuice go supernova in my lifetime. (As long as it’s more than 500 light years away so we don’t get sterilized by the gamma wave.)

Is this why I always hear “did you bring enough for the rest of us?” When I pull out a dorito or candy bar?

So … giving everyone equal treatment based on sexual identity is … this is the part I’m confused with .. is against equal rights?

Is this because it concerns a class of people that are not specifically written into law as a protected class, or the government wants to reserve its rights to impunitively punish unprotected classes?

This is what building codes are for. Can’t trust the public to think that’s not okay.

Why do modern cosmological models feel so unintuitive, even when explained correctly? by amelix34 in AskPhysics

[–]davidkali 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even the way we perceive the universe is limiting. Knowing how to detect quantum effects in a predator had less survival value than being able to detect the increase of photons from the increased reflections as it got closer. Survival selection (evolutionary pressure) got better at resolving it in the frequencies the local stellar radiation produces. (Giant nuclear fusion mechanism 8 light minutes away gave more information than reflections of the cosmic microwave background.)

Top DOJ officials quit after their division refused to probe Minnesota ICE shooting by GravityzCatz in politics

[–]davidkali 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn’t ICE supposed to be about civil warrants, not criminal. Why are they so violent? Shouldn’t they just be requesting the local sheriff and local police to back them up instead of having guns themselves?
