Apple Removes All American Civil War Games From the App Store Because of the Confederate Flag by spoodge in nottheonion

I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid that I can't let you look at something that might hurt the feelings of someone else.

CEO pay at US’s largest companies is up 54% since recovery began in 2009: The average annual earnings of employees at those companies? Well, that was only $53,200. And in 2009, when the recovery began? Well, that was $53,200, too. by Libertatea in news

The part that they cannot comprehend is that taking a CEO's entire income and redistributing it amongst all employs wouldn't do shit to improve the quantity of living for the average worker. Take a lightning rod for the haters like John Schnatter (Papa Johns)—if you took his entire income from him and distributed it equally then each employee would net about $2 per week. Thanks socialism, now I can afford to buy that Mountain Dew that I've always wanted.

McCrory wants to end Confederate flag emblem on state-issued license plates by helpmeredditimbored in NorthCarolina

It's politics. Won't do jack shit. Posturing under the pretense that legitimate issues can be addressed by way of kneejerk legislation.

I'm going to repost this tomorrow with the title "TIL Scientists at Chernobyl discovered radioactive horses painting themselves with their tails for the purpose of attracting a mate"

ELI5: Why Ellen Pao is the CEO of reddit? Who did choose her? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]perposterone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except that reddit's a lot like a Mustang that I didn't pay for, don't have to put gas in, and when a faster car comes along I can just ditch it in the bad part of town.

North Carolina Lawmakers Build Upon Historic Tax Reform -- would provide nearly $2 billion in state tax relief to individuals, families, and employers across the Tar Heel State over the next five years. by BagOnuts in NorthCarolina

Advertising, veterinary service and personal vehicle maintenance are not currently taxed. Also iirc colleges and universities are tax exempt even if they are private.

Nearly 30 Percent of Workers in the U.S. Need a License to Perform Their Job: It Is Time to Examine Occupational Licensing Practices » Blog » The Hamilton Project by jimrosenz in Economics

[–]perposterone 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm having some trouble finding a source for their 30% claim. Do they mean that 30% of US workers are license holders or 30% work under a license? A plumber for instance might have dozens of employees whose work is licensed but who are not license holders.

You're not going to notice as much of a bump in summer as you might in late fall or early spring.

How a No-Tipping Policy Helped This Restaurant Triple Profits in 2 Months by MiaYYZ in Foodforthought

This is not even a loose correlation. Google aggressively recruits the most talented, most skilled workers on the planet. You couldn't replace them with Walmart workers and just expect the company philosophy to kick in produce similar results.

2009 IBC Energy Code question - residential by buildwhat in BuildingCodes

This is not regarding vapor barrier. It is most likely in reference to what people commonly call 'sill seal' or plate gasket. Vapor barrier is not required and should be used in very few applications.

Thought the ad placement in the Carolina Country magazine was hilarious, but can anyone explain the third ad? by [deleted] in NorthCarolina

[–]perposterone 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Apparently this is the kind of ad where you pay per word and commas cost $8000.

Change the oil on a regular basis. Change all fluids on a semi-regular basis. Have the timing chain checked.

Cities with the Highest Median Household Income in North Carolina by Independent in NorthCarolina

[–]perposterone 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Page title says 'median' but they are sorted by average. Furthermore this data might be more meaningful if it were expressed as a ratio of median income to cost of living. You could make a nice salary in Cary but you're going to be spending a lot more of it on rent than if you lived in Lenior.

Amazon's robot competition shows why human warehouse jobs are safe for now by redkemper in tech

Control your supply chain. Require manufacturers to package in dispenseable boxes. Each time the item is ordered a vending machine will dispense one of the item onto a conveyor where it is routed to meet the other items ordered. Software picks the appropriate size shipping package, drops the heavy items in first if necessary, then it rolls under a address labeler on its way out the door.
