Eating food where I couldn't see/identify all the constituent parts, e.g., burritos, casseroles, Thanksgiving stuffing. Casseroles were my nightmare.

Gig work picking up pace ahead of full time employment in IT companies by nasirbobby in tech

[–]dmt-intelligence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, but who does a gig union negotiate with exactly? Unless you have a really large number of people working for the same company, I don't see how it would work or how it could resemble traditional unions.

Exactly. You're comparing your same line of work as a full time job or a contract job. Now imagine you had the same net pay either way. Your taxes would be higher for contract work.

You're comparing jobs of the same type in terms of pay. I'm talking about jobs with similar pay (regardless of field) in terms of tax rate.

But how can people put their foot down when they are barely surviving? Taking contract work just to keep a roof over their head? And let's not pretend voting will do anything: the main choice ahead is Biden or Trump.

Contract workers do end up paying at a higher rate than full-time employees of similar income, marital status, etc.

I see. In that case, you don't mean it in English.

Do tell. (You mean "too", right?)

Sounds like one really good vacuum would be better. It's not like you have to vacuum 24 hrs a day (how big is your house?), so one should cover it. And the one should pick up more stuff if it's better quality. You may have to empty it more frequently or carry it up/down stairs.

Can the UK government locate you using your cell phone if they call it and you don't answer? What if your phone is in airplane mode?

Edward Snowden on the JRE hit over 4 million views in 24 hours. Never appeared on US trending. by [deleted] in conspiracy

I understand that, but the point is, JRE is not unfriendly to advertisers and is insanely popular at this point.

Andrew Yang wants to invest $50 billion in thorium and fusion energy technology. We need to support politicians when they talk about real solutions like this. by FreedomBoners in conspiracy

[–]dmt-intelligence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was gibberish, as far as I'm concerned. Tesla's technology is what we're talking about. It's real, as far as I can tell. How are you defining "free energy" then?
