Al Capone was got because of tax fraud.

So yeah, it works.

It’s always been illegal.

There is still a sign at the Portofino hotel in LA with the current record and it is definitely up to date.

Modern reactor design also pretty much makes runaway reactions nearly impossible, as in, you have to actually try to fuck it up.

Even Fukushima didn’t have a runaway reaction, it just lost coolant.

You ever tried taking a train from Atlanta, Georgia, U.S.A. to Barcelona, Spain?

Lean philosophy is supposed to account for those dice-rolling moments. It’s not just “keep nothing in inventory”, there is supposed to be risk assessment involved.

The problem is that leadership doesn’t interpret it that way and just sees “minimizing inventory increases profit!”

That’s a good idea for a lemmy community. Maybe I’ll set one up for that.

Curious what that profession actually is, is it a wife/“homemaker”? Or a paid profession that I couldn’t find on Google? I really tried to find that phrasing but in my defense I’m drunk and also Google sucks nowadays.

Many people in the US are paid every two weeks, which means some months you’re paid more than others.

Yearly has become standard as is hourly rate, because one is useful for taxes and the other is often directly negotiated.

When is this said, that’s hilarious!

F35A is now down to about $70 million/piece now, which further demonstrates the point of costs coming down with mass production I think.

It originally was more like $150 million.

Australian taskmaster is a treasure and there’s nothing you can say to convince me otherwise.

I’ve told many (usually new) design engineers that they’re stupid for asking for 0.001" tolerance on parts when they only need 0.005 “or 0.010”. The difference between 0.010" and sub-10 micron is easily a factor of 100 in most parts, ESPECIALLY when you’re talking larger steel components like panels on a freaking car.

There are many cases of people being sentenced to death wrongfully. For that reason the punishment shouldn’t exist.

I honestly learned how to do a single eyebrow raise because of him.

That station is always an outlier and not at all representative of prices in LA. Right across the street from that place they sell gas for a normal price.

Everyone in LA laughs every time someone references that gas station because it’s clearly either a trap (for tourists/rental cars on an expense account) or a front for a mob.

Just as an example, right now gas prices are around the $5.00-5.40 range (5.40 for premium).

That gas station is currently at $6.60/gal for regular. There’s a chevron right down the street for $5.15/gal

The owner of the website certainly has no reason to inflate their numbers…

Just look at how the EU government works, they ended up with a very similar system, just with a parliamentary twist. It’s a bit of a natural compromise when you have a bunch of nations with their own identity coming together to form a larger body.

The value of “X” has been repeatedly downgraded. It’s estimated at around $15b by fidelity. They’ve demolished their own brand by renaming themselves and how you interact.

This is before you get into the whole “twitter has been loaded with debt from the purchase of twitter and so is even more unprofitable than it was before” part of the debacle.

As always, the tradeoff that money buys, as in almost every case, is time.

Once you do it the first time though it’s pretty easy to do it the next time.
