I've not used windows regularly since XP but I recall being very confused that the keyboard layout setting defaults to being per-application rather than syatemwide. Don't know if that's how its still done and I have no reason to care.

HR exists to protect the company. The people who protect you is your union. If your workplace does not have a union, be aware that is a solvable problem.

The US has laws that bans paying for blood, but they can pay for plasma. All healthcare in the US is a for profit venture.

If you donate blood in the US, you are the only one in that process who is making a donation. Every other organization in the chain between your donation and the patient who receives it will add a markup for their own profit.

Organ donations work the same way. If you get killed by a car, and your heart is used to save someone's life, they will be charged nearly two million dollars for the operation. Not only does your next of kin not get a cut of that two million, your estate will still get a bill for whatever treatment failed to save your life.

I can think of little that is more unethical than being the only one donating. Plasma is better because the donors are paid. If healthcare is for profit, at minimum the profits should go both ways. Plasma is the one time it does.

To translate further:

BEV - self explanatory never mind

NGDV - Oshkosh Next Generation Delivery Vehicle, The new mail truck that looks like a duck

LLV - The Grumman Long Life Vehicle, the classic mail truck.

and as a bonus

FFV - The Ford-Utilimaster Flexible Fuel Vehicle, the early 2000s mail truck that looks like the LLV that you buy from wish.

It is designed to be gas or electric. The few with gas engines will need the ventilation. Also it does have A/C. That is also why it has an engine bay despite being electric.

Not when the voterbase has common interests.

Two delta planes collided on the tarmac, but they call the smaller plane an endavor plane so they can pay the pilots less.

Did they charge any of them with a crime for not paying taxes, or did they just let them pay without penalty?

How does public facing statements make trans people vulnerable? Legislation is the power of legislators.

Being quiet about an issue during the campaign makes little difference if they are supportive in office.

Being strategically quiet during a campaign is a good strategy, if only they were smart enough to use it on even more divisive issues, like the genocide.
