There's an indirect one. The 40 hour week is the result of strikes from unions that are the result of factories which are the result of the industrial revolution which also led to improvements in medicine that massively reduced child mortality.
You're not including monthly service for your cell phone, the accessories you need to buy (including a case), the electricity to charge it, and so-on.
For the truck, you also need to include the gas, insurance and maintenance.
He who controls the force, controls the Universe, Mr. Spock. So say we all!
Apparently Unilad couldn't even copy The Hill's homework correctly.
Somehow they reworded “White House Correspondents’ dinner Weekend Party” as "White House Dinner Correspondents Party".
Needs more Mar A Lago face.
And they just accepted that only a fraction of their babies would live to become infants, and only a fraction of their infants would reach adulthood.
People are not living like cavemen nowadays. They want iPhones and pickup trucks and air conditioning.
If you're willing to spend your free time living the way a caveman did, you can probably get by working a lot fewer hours.
In dact, someone who posts about things like this on linkedin is not the kind of person who acknowledges the work that their partner does to make a day like that possible.
Animals don't want pants. Humans want pants and netflix and adult colouring books. If humans were willing to spend 8 hours a day, every day, lounging on a rock instead, then they could get by with doing a lot less work for money.
And it's not possible for the Lunatic to live the way they do unless the partner picks up the slack and does everything else.
animal behaviorists are finding that what they first perceived as lack of functional importance often has dazzling significance after all.
the sand scorpion seems to emerge from its burrow and just stand around waiting for a meal to happen by. But Oregon State University zoologist Philip Brownell has discovered that the scorpion has receptors on its feet that sense approaching insects from several inches away by detecting minute disturbances of the desert.
The polar bear often naps next to a seal's breathing hole with one paw cocked for a lethal swipe. Alligators have floating slumber parties beneath heron rookeries during nesting season, waiting for hapless fledglings and jostled eggs. The female fence lizard, which is "at rest" 98 percent of the time, spends that time in the energizing sun within a tongue's dart of smorgasbord rest stops for passing insects.
The African lion, which University of Minnesota zoologist Anne Pusey says can eat 66 pounds at a sitting and then lie around on its back for several days digesting the meal, is another strategic loafer: It does most of that lying around in the shade, near a waterhole, with one eye open to potential next meals.
So is there anything at all to animal laziness? Do wild creatures ever just plain loaf? Not, says Cornell biologist Paul Sherman, from the point of view of evolutionary biologists.
This time it wasn't the thing from Nebraska.
In the most recent Arsecast, Andrew and Lewis Ambrose played a game where they picked a team of Arsenal players to lose. The restrictions were that the player couldn't be played too far out of position, and that they had to have at least 20 appearances for Arsenal in all competitions in the emirates era, and that the team be in a 4-3-3 shape.
It's worth listening to the episode. They didn't always pick the worst players, sometimes it was players who were just bad in a certain position, or surrounded by players who emphasized their faults.
You can see the two teams if you want to skip to the end.
Seems like a fun game, anybody want to post their designed-to-lose teams?
One mistake? Most people are involved in at most one airplane accident in their lives. Ford has been involved in 4 where he was the pilot and a fifth as a passenger. All 3 incidents since 2015 were his mistake. The helicopter autorotation incident may not have been.
