Given how limited the selection of electric vans and pickups is, I think this will backfire somewhat in terms of getting trades and technicians into the city centre.

Kinda the point, isn’t it?

It must be interesting being one of Disney’s senior executives, and being married to one of the striking actors.

If they are rowing back on that he can’t stand again for President, surely. That’s astonishing.

I agree this isn’t a good look, but career ending?

No, but having a handful of people who will never see their ads devalues the whole package.

How? How do they profit off someone who refuses to view ads?

Who would pay for data on a person you can’t advertise to?

I work with fire alarm systems, as others have said, smoke, steam, dust, and even insects inside the detection chamber will trigger a photoelectric smoke det.

I don’t think they’ll care or miss you, to be honest. It’s not like they’re making money off you.

I wonder if there is a job where you test user interfaces by deliberately misunderstanding instructions? I feel I’d be good at it.

I’ve tried, the whole situation is a shitshow right now.

I’d say they did, nobody actively advertises a product they don’t want to sell, unless it’s some type of loss leader.

Of course, you got cheap shoes out of it, so perhaps you both won?

they pepper-sprayed him, shocked him with a Taser, and restrained him. Haleck became unresponsive and was taken to a hospital.

The article doesn’t actually say why that caused his death though. It’s something that plenty of people have survived, and unlike the George Floyd case for example, we don’t know exactly how that killed him.

They have an unquestioning bloodlust for every US state department adversary.

Meaning Russia and China, I assume?

I absolutely despise these people. The war ends when Russia leaves Ukraine, and not a moment before. Those are Ukraine’s terms, and I see no reason why they should change.

Immediately, our team went to the dam to open the gates. Before they could open, the flash flood hit them, and they ran away to save their lives

I’m surprised they had to send a team to open the gates, I’d have thought this could be done remotely.

They’re pulling older and older pieces of equipment out of storage, fixing it up, and sending it out.

They’ve given up trying to bombard Ukraine with naval assets, and surrendered the offshore oil platforms they were using as observation platforms.

They’re flying fewer and fewer sorties, the ones they do fly typically lob missiles from beyond the border, and they’re seeing mechanical failures because the few aircraft they do have are not being properly maintained.

The lack of equipment is definitely hurting them, make no mistake about that.

Unfortunately, they have no shortage of young men to send to their deaths.

Well yeah, if you have a job but refuse to do it, you’re not unemployed.

This is why I put a cat flap in my bedroom door, my cat does exactly this and doesn’t understand the concept of closing it behind him.

Realistically, a government couldn’t notify every single map maker, but my view is that the map maker should be obliged to act when notified.

In the case of paper maps, if they were notified of the bridge, and proceeded to publish a new version of the map showing it as operational, then yes, they should face consequences. paper maps don’t provide turn by turn directions though, so less safety critical.
