We found a used older one, used it just about daily for a couple years before my dumb ass left it in an oven that was too hot (some old ones only got to like 400F apparently) and caused a bunch of cracks. We messaged le cruset and after sending them some pictures and a sob story they sent us a brand new one.

Doesn't need to be a new one or le cruset, enameled cast iron is just nice generally in my experience

Enameled cast iron is definitely a thing, our le cruset Dutch oven is a work horse

Simple and easy are not the same thing. Sure, enriching uranium is simple, you just centrifuge it so that the heavier, less stable isotopes separate from the bulk. Simple.

The reason it's relevant is that most working people do not earn salaries, they earn hourly rates. I'm a welding engineer earning a salary, working with maintenance men and welders and operators who all earn hourly rates. Every company I've ever worked for has both salary and hourly and also an HR department.

The situation you are describing does not align with the vast majority of working people's experiences.

Not defending either side, but how often do hourly employees get raises based on performance at your wife's company? You say performance should lead to salary increases, but what about the majority of people who only make hourly rates?

That's a lot of words to say the government should stop helping people in need and we should beg the wealth hoarders for help.

If the state provides a service, taxes paid for it. Are taxes theft?

This seems really neat. So like when you shine light through things like water or glass or air the energy of the photons actually kinda get absorbed by the molecules and transmitted by them resulting in a slowing down a tiny bit, usually. It seems like they may have found some combinations of photon wavelengths and atomic resonance frequency that results in speeding up a tiny bit instead of slowing down

On a related note three brown one blue has a neat video explaining what phase shifting is and kind of why it happens https://youtu.be/KTzGBJPuJwM

The real question is how much does it cost, but then again compared to knee and hip replacements...

Making them deal with the linguistic juggling of the Fey is how to have fun with rules lawyer players

Fired for any reason is "at will employment" you can leave for any reason but also we can fire you for anything that isn't protected.

"Right to work" is even worse than that, it means that you get all the benefits the union faught and clawed for without having to pay dues. As in you have a "right to work" without any pesky interference between you as an individual and the multimillion dollar company
