  • They said they had a hard time finding men who would cry.

    They also didn't test women sniffing women's tears, or men sniffing men or women sniffing men, or animal tears.

    They left a lot of variables out of this one.

  • Cannonball run is 2906 miles. Assuming most of it is across highways at 65 mph, (a lot of the west is faster but the east is slower), you'd get it in about 44 hours. With a 10-minute delay every 300 miles you'd add about 2 hours for a total of 46.3 hours.

    You want to stop every 16 hours of driving (since you don't care about DOTs 10-hour limit) so it takes you slightly less than 3 days. Or less than half the stated "week".

  • 305m is 1000 feet. The USS ENTERPRISE was 342m or 1,123 feet.

    A modern day FORD class carrier is 1092 ft or 333m.

    For personnel comparison, ENTERPRISE held ~5000 people and a FORD class has between 4-5000 people.

    The fact that NCC-1701 only had like 1000 people is...a big difference.

  • Most states don't even get 5, or 3.

    The states that have mandates are (usual suspects incoming):

    Arizona - 40 hours

    California - 40 hours

    Colorado - 48 hours

    Connecticut - 40 hours

    D.C. - 7 days

    Maryland - 64 hours hrs

    Massachusetts - 40 hrs

    Michigan - 40 hrs

    Nevada - 0.01923 hours per hour worked (works out to approximately 40 hours if you work a standard 40hrs/week, 52 weeks/yr

    New Jersey - 40 hrs

    New Mexico - 64 hrs

    New York - 56 hrs

    Oregon - 40 hrs

    Rhode Island - 40 hrs

    Vermont - 40 hrs

    Washington - 40 hrs

    Some cities/counties have their own requirements but I'm not going to list those. I wish the US did better on Healthcare, but, as with everything, it's the blue states dragging the country forward kicking and screaming.

  • Oftentimes being in a specialized field is a double edged sword for your own wage too. Sure, there's not many of you for them to hire, but also there's not many of them for you to go to and if you piss any of them off, you're screwed out of any future job.

    Making a union even more important I think.
