A source for how well crime predicting AIs work isn't the same as one for hiring employees. They aren't interchangeable.

Interesting argument. Anything to back it up?

Mine didn't even take wall plates off when painting. And also tended to paint over the actual outlets. I just.... can't.

Unless for some reason they tell you a higher number I would just get up and walk out. If they can't even get the salary range right why would I trust anything else they say?

Yea, I'm confused by the downvotes. The original comment doesn't even make sense if they are talking about the USA.

Reply to comment by the_other_sam in Ok to run dryer pipe through 2x6 studs? by the_other_sam
I haven't read all of the comments on here but I think I know how you can get the platform suggestion to work, assuming I understand the issue.
I am assuming the main issue is that just putting in a vent in any configuration from the machine will result in it hitting the wall. Having the vent go through studs is a bad idea but there shouldn't be any issues running the vent parallel to the studs. So the vent can go into the wall, down to under the platform, come out of the wall, then go where it needs to go.
I'll see if there are any pics or diagrams give posted but if you haven't, those will be helpful.

Is it because it falls off? You're supposed to keep the meds inside.

The trick is to eat the chocolate, not the slaves.
Seriously though, this is one of the downsides of globalization. Hard to keep unethical labor practices out of the process. Even harder for the consumer to know.

Reply to [Discussion] Anyone else struggles with following shows because of the increasingly longer breaks between seasons? by IBoris
Is it because you forget about them or just stop caring? If it's the former, I use Trackseries.tv amd/or trakt.tv to keep track of what I'm watching. The home page tells you what it and you haven't watched yet. It's not perfect but it's good for 99+% of shows.
