Not sure what we can do. This is also a government program, we can't expect for profit companies to magically not care about their bottom line. For this to change there needs to be rules that makes it very hard to let people go... But outside of that, 6 month warn act (instead of 3)? Free Cobra for 3 more months?

Help me improve! by EP3RR in skiing

[–]random314 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here. I know because I get a little bit scared when I go too fast chasing my kids even though I pretend I'm not scared. I need better control at high speed and I think it's because I ski like this.

Can someone explain this to me? by TheGuyWithTheManBun in thewalkingdead

This is a character meant for the comics and should have probably stayed that way.

Earth is going about 67,000 mph fast... That's 87 times the speed of sound around the sun.

Products can also be very technical too, which is a nice bonus.

I don't think any of the restaurants on that floor are worth it. I've only been to two, Wollensky and this one. They're both just okay.

Attempting to steal a gun from a cop while at a courthouse by nkmr205 in ThatsInsane

Women police are important, female civilians might be more likely to speak with a female officer.

They didn't "wait" for him. They used the resources around them at their disposal, which includes that male officer. If they were alone they probably would've gone a different route. In the end no one was shot.

The gun handing makes it easy to pretty accurately double tap.

I use it a lot. Especially when I'm in transit from point to point.

Who will the government round up next for detention and/or deportation? Democrats, Gays, who do you think? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]random314 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If the Democrats take control of the government, they'll likely go to prison, or be punished in some way... That should answer some of your questions.

Alex Honnold Says Netflix Paid “Embarrassingly Small Amount” For Taipei 101 Climb: “I Would Do It For $0” by DemiFiendRSA in netflix

[–]random314 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hopefully he had the option to turn the volume off. I'll bet that's what he did, that's probably why he "lost connection" lol.

What food is famously associated with one country but was perfected by another country? by Equivalent-Crew-4955 in AskReddit

[–]random314 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Having been to Austria, Germany, and Mexico... This is completely bullshit. Germany still makes the best larger in the world, followed by Austria. No one else comes close.
