Yes, result based measuring is the best method of measurement for employee productivity. It's simple, accurate, easily measured, and useful for productivity predictions. It also contributes to a more relaxed and stable work atmosphere. Also it forces employers to have clear, measurable goals and expectations. Which too many are lacking.
Timing screentime is just a silly game that over-controlling people feel like arbitrarily playing. It's inaccurate. People can spend all day working and get almost nothing done, and the other end of the spectrum exists too (which is punished by this method). It's also demeaning, people should be respected not treated like children and micro-managed.

Ah, of course. He only says this when he's out of the seat and there's a new appointment going on where he can hope to sway opinion on the topic.
Just like how George Washington freed his slaves... Yet only in his will. Eat the cake and have it, too. Fucking politicians.

I don't know. I know if he knew about them that would have been the case, but then I think about Independence Day's hand-wavy "two words Mr. President: 'plausible deniability'" scene and how many reports of senior leadership in the White House deliberately ignoring some of his orders and I think there could still be a case made for it.

Why be so defensive? I'm just saying keep an open mind since we still don't know a lot about things beyond earth.

Its time for space helmets as common everyday hats. Like, airplanes should offer them instead of earphones.

There was seriously a Teledildonic device built to fit in 5.25" drive bays back in the 90s that was wildly hilarious.

Are you sure it wasn't Uranus? I've heard it looks something like a full moon.

The thumbnail appears to be part of a head ups system or some shit that pilots mistook for another flying object but it was nothing. This floated around for months before proved that.

“with a loaded handgun and drugs after fleeing a bar fight”
Real genius here keeping a low profile while being a most-wanted fugitive dodging a murder case

I mean technically thats actually what Area 51 was. They were just testing R&D for drones and shit out there long before the public even knew what a drone was. I actually had a special forces friend who said he believed in aliens because he was actually stationed out there and heard some DOE guys talking secretly about what i now know from the way they described it was probably the gimbal footage.
But you know what they say, if your tool is a hammer every problem becomes a nail, and if your tool is meth every bird becomes a CIA drone designed to steal your secrets.

The Speaker has two kinds of power. One based on the rules of the House and one based on their political capital. Ryan may have had a good amount of the former, but possessed none of the latter. We’re long past the days of Joe Cannon who ruled the house with an iron fist with both types of power but after the members essentially revolted, the powers of the speakership were drastically cut back. A generation later, Longworth should have been another weak Speaker because of the rules, but he was a master politician who managed to rule the House by force of will and skill even though on paper he wasn’t very empowered.
All that’s to say that when we fast forward to recent history, Gingrich was probably the resurgence of what it looks like to have a Speaker who was truly powerful for both reasons… until he wasn’t, after some political blunders. But he handed a very strong speakership to his successors but with each passing Speaker they gave up more and more of their power until you get to Ryan who was a sniveling weakling of a Speaker who had neither political capital to spend nor much power on paper to wield. Pelosi was clever, deft, adaptable, and skilled enough so that she got her way on legislation, but the Republicans have no one with anything close to resembling her skill. And Ryan is one of the last people with anything valuable to say on the subject given his abject failure of a speakership.

Yes and Lockheed Martin could fly a drone over their heads and all 500 soldiers would say "i saw a UFO" because that's what it means. It's just unidentified.
Also they changed the term to UAP unidentified aerial phenomena, so they're using the UFO term again? Or is this selective language so they can say they never said anything? lol

Employers paying less than they are supposed to or agreed to. Most common are things like not paying increased rate for overtime or making people work through breaks and work off the clock before or after their shift.

Normally yes, if the refugee status was granted on the basis of "persecution by the government or wider society" since one wouldn't normally visit a place you're going to be persecuted.
For refugees of war, it is granted for different reasons.

I do not like that he is making public appearances again.
Go back to never showing your face.
