Two. The last part of centaur is tau-or.

Similarly, “dinosaur” is pronounced dino-sour, and not as dino-saw.

Maybe n Roblox. I haven’t bothered trying the games, but I know Adopt Me started as something like that.

… You use capital numbers?

Let me get this straight. You’ve disabled gestures in Android to use the buttons, but also want gestures for Android inside the app instead of the gestures that the app provides and instead of using the back button that you just deliberately summoned for that purpose?

Okay it’s possible. I think you’d need to disable the gestures in the app, and then find a way to customize the Android system gestures to work how you want them. That is phone dependent.

But. To be brutally honest: Learn to use the system edge gestures. It takes a day or two to get used to, but then you’ll never miss the buttons or get frustrated with apps that work as intended ny default. Surely this must also be an issue in all other apps that use on screen gestures.

It has to be given, otherwise there would be infinitely many solutions.

You would need some other information to link the line segment X to the rest of the figure.

Do you make engines?

I’ve read a lot of stories about it, because I’m a fan of the game and also used to dabble in assembly myself. His motivation isn’t as crazy as it’s often presented.

He used assembly because he had always programmed in assembly on a variety of hardware. He basically had every typical function documented or memorized from other projects. Just as any programmer can remember the statements in a language, he had blocks of assembly code that he could put together to do the same things. Like functions, right? If it’s made right and you know what it does, then you don’t even need to look at what’s between the brackets.

At the time he wrote RCT, he simply couldn’t be bothered to start a new collection of scripts in a different language.

The panels are glued on. The glue fails when the temperature changes.

I can’t believe that this car is legal to drive in public.

The idea that you’re suggesting is called union busting. It only works in USA and very few sectors in Europe where sector agreements are not mandatory by law.

I’d argue that it also doesn’t work in USA, since the companies end up spending more money on avoiding an agreement than what they’d save on salaries. They also waste a lot of time and resources on the individual bargaining, which provides no value for neither the company or the employee.

If the employers pay people more to not join a union, the union might even say: “Mission achieved without a fight. See ya’ll next time inflation catches up.”

because of pay incentives to leave the union

I believe you missed the part about how the employers negotiate. They don’t. Their union does. A single employer can pay all the money it wants to its own employees to make them quit the union, but the employer is still bound by the agreement that is made on their behalf by all the other companies in the same employer union. They will never be able to agree to pay off an entire sector to do what you suggest, because these companies are competitors. Unlike the businesses that are competing in a race to the bottom by lowering wages, the companies that have union agreements are competing in a race to attract the best employees. It’s not uncommon for businesses to pay more or give better terms than the union agreement describes. That is their edge against their competitors. The only businesses interested in “escaping” the minimum pay are the unsuccesful bottom feeders.

Technically, yes, on paper, they do expire, gets cancelled and renewed every 2-3 years.

In practice, no. They can’t not be renewed. If the employees don’t accept the agreement there will be a strike, and if the employers don’t accept the agreement they can make a lock-out. If the strike or lock-out leads nowhere, and society comes to a halt, the government can sign a law to require the work to resume on previous terms.

The individual employer has no more say in the negotiations than an individual employee. The negotiations happen between the employer union and the employee union.

Keep in mind that some companies actually want to have a union agreement. It’s really only the most unprofessionally run and privately owned companies who believe they can somehow save money from not having a proper agreement with their employees.

Professionel companies focus on making money instead of wasting resources fighting their own employees.

In my case, even that wouldn’t matter. The only way for an employer to get out of a union agreement is to shut down the business completely.

Windows 11 sleep mode is causing all kinds of issues for me too on one laptop. Especially WiFi.

It shuts down WiFi to save power and never wakes it up regardless of what power save settings say. I’m also using a cellular WiFi and have to disable one of the modes in the netadapter for that to even work, but the driver keeps resetting the choices made in the device manager and such. Complete garbage.

It’s my daughters brand new laptop for school. She needs to open the lid and use the pc for browser applications. My youngest doesn’t have her own laptop, so I gave a beaten up 20 year old laptop and installed Mint, because windows 10 couldn’t even boot properly with only 4 gb of ram. She does the same thing. Open the lid, use the browser. It always works.

This is not a special case. This is not me being to dumb to use it or too smart and demanding. I think it’s perfectly reasonable for anyone to expect a laptop to function as intended when opening the lid and using the browser. Windows just doesn’t do that.

They can’t cut union rates.

It’s always going to be more difficult challenging the “winning” strategy.

Democrats seem to be more open to change and internal democracy.

Whatever shed of ideology is left in either party is also pointed in different directions. Roughly described, the ideologies are (supposed to be) that left wing is taking ideas from the masses and sending them upwards through democratic elections, while right wing only accepts top down decision making. Seeing the many “Trump regret” clips, it’s pretty clear that his policies did not originate from his voter base.

Another case of point is when politicians flip flop and change party. Democrats allow right wing politicians to infiltrate their party dragging them to the right, whereas you don’t see someone like Bernie Sanders joining GOP to drag them towards social democracy.

… that is why you need to join and elect other politicians.

I’m not American but I will promise to support you if it comes to that.

The workers unionisation in my country against land owners in the 1800s would not have succeeded without international support. I’d gladly chip in for anyone attempting to do the same.
