ForestCritter··on Cannabis use disorder and subsequent risk of depression and bipolar disorder
Regular Marijuana use has a high domestic violence rate.
ForestCritter··on Dara Khosrowshahi had a stint driving for Uber and delivering for Uber Eats
funny have you noticed the huge shortage of restauraunt workers lately, hmmm I wonder why
ForestCritter··on Dara Khosrowshahi had a stint driving for Uber and delivering for Uber Eats
There is no such thing as documenting cash tips. I wouldn't have any problems with no tipping if servers got paid on the same scale as everybody else.
ForestCritter··on Earth had hottest 3-months on record; unprecedented sea temps & extreme weather
I can't back it up because it was a televised congressional committee hearing and I don't remember the name of the scientist but he said that his data he had been studying and working with that was published in the 1940's was different from the data that is now published for that same time period. He made no accusations he just said his data showed no signs of global warming. So, I guess as a skeptic, yes this does make me think they are making it all up.

minimum wage for industry with tips is 2.13 an hour and the IRS estimates how much tip you make and taxes you that amount. Not tipping simply robs the worker.

tipping less just means the employee legally gets paid less than minimum wage and the restaurant owners really don't care as long as they don't have to pay full wages. the only way to solve tipping is to change the minimum wage laws that allow lower wages for tipping industries.

no they just hire someone else to work in their place. Restaurant owners I've worked for don't care if customers tip, that's the servers problem. And cooks don't care either if they are the reason the server doesn't get a tip. They get full wages regardless.
ForestCritter··on Tesla FSD Beta tried to kill me last night
only very big cities have trains and again they are only convenient if they are going in your direction. I lived in Montreal for six years without a car. I could walk to work in 45 minutes. It would take 1/12 hours to get to work by subway and or bus.
ForestCritter··on Tesla FSD Beta tried to kill me last night
no because the logistics simply don't add up to get everybody where they need to be when they need to be there. Most particularly retail and restuarant workers.
ForestCritter··on Tesla FSD Beta tried to kill me last night
public transit simply cannot go in the direction everybody needs it, when they need it in a straight route. It used to take me approx 3 hours a day, sometimes more to get to an from a job that was a 25 minute drive away.10 hours more time for myself a week is freedom to me.

says the person who never had to get to work on time across town with public transit...
ForestCritter··on Tesla FSD Beta tried to kill me last night

deer
ForestCritter··on Tesla FSD Beta tried to kill me last night
car meet deer meet death in my neck of the woods anyway. Satteltes can't predict deer. Most of the time we can't even predict them.
ForestCritter··on Job Corps: free, residential training and education for low-income young adults
Yes and in some locations you can get mugged on pay day by fellow students.
ForestCritter··on Job Corps: free, residential training and education for low-income young adults
That what they do at job corps. There are plenty of court mandated students enrolled.
ForestCritter··on Job Corps: free, residential training and education for low-income young adults
ummm, isn't that what job corps is?
ForestCritter··on Job Corps: free, residential training and education for low-income young adults
Despite some success, job corps have a violent history and poor track record and rampant corruption. Look it up, it's not hard to find. They don't have a very good reputation in the job employment market either. Locally, the factories teach employees welding as does the community college trade program, the latter is not free but very attainable for all ages. There are much better and more efficient ways to train youth than free tax dollars out of somebody elses pocket.
ForestCritter··on Job Corps: free, residential training and education for low-income young adults
You are not allowed leave without explicit permission. you are in a locked gate facility.
ForestCritter··on Job Corps: free, residential training and education for low-income young adults
mmm and you can get gang raped, robbed, beaten, not get needed medical help, the list goes on. At your own peril.
ForestCritter··on Today I learned that random people can send you money on PayPal and disputed it
They also have the best fee rates of payment processors for small businesses and craft show/ event venues. There is no cost unless you sell too.

ForestCritter··on Living Wage Calculator
Or that you run profitable production facilities into the ground because you have no clue how stuff is made and need to justify your position and hide your ignorance with clever management 'improvements'. I live in a factory area and the new tactic is to advertise jobs under alternate corporate names because their reputations are so bad that nobody applies.

ForestCritter··on The economics of the Birkin bag (2016)
Yes, however this article is sporting the idea that the only difference between the designer product and the downmarket product is the unjustified inflated pricing.
ForestCritter··on In every reported mistaken arrest using facial recognition, person was Black
Just like they do with black cats, dark clothing, lack of lighting. Dark colors absorb light, light colors reflect light. It is the reflection of light on a surface that gives it definition. I had a black cat that was nearly impossible to get spontaneous pictures of and I take night photography. Darkness requires more exposure time which equates to standing still longer. Facial recognition grabs people moving around in whatever lighting is available. It will inherently do better on lighter colors and contrasts just like the human eye does. Why do burglars and stage hands wear all black? So that they are harder to see.
ForestCritter··on In every reported mistaken arrest using facial recognition, person was Black
Facial recognition is not done with staged lighting. Your examples simply prove that photographing darker colors, whether they be skin, fabric, fur or any other colored material requires specific lighting tocapture detail appropriately.
