How they respond to their handlers is a requisite part of the "science" here. Dogs w/ handlers will never, ever be reliable to a certainty acceptable to risk taking away people's freedom.

They should just be banned from using it, period.

>The problem is the dumb cops who are bad at their job

You say that like there are cops this doesn't describe...

Hair analysis, Bitemark analysis, tool mark analysis (different from striation analysis on bullets), drug dogs... psychological profiling, all completely junk science. All used to throw likely innocent people in jail. Sometimes directly sometimes to manufacture probable cause and coerce confessions.

I think this is both true and kind of not and it gets weirdly philosophical. It doesn't have temperature as we're taught about it in HS physics class, sure, since that is generally the internal kinetic energy of molecules vibrating and bumping into each other, but atoms themselves have internal degrees of freedom at the quantum level that can reasonably be used to describe temperature. The excitement state of an atom's electrons is the most obvious one.

To be fair the company itself may very well have that rule so HR telling you that you aren't allowed to share it if someone calls you may be technically true. But it's definitely not the law.

If they did tell you it was illegal it also wouldn't be the first time a company told people something was illegal that wasn't just to make them extra scared of breaking the rule.

>Every job application I've seen asks if they may contact past employers

Yes. They ask this as a professional courtesy. And if you look closely many times they are only asking about your CURRENT employer because people understandably don't want to be put in a bind at their current job because they tested the waters on a new one. An employer looking to hire doesn't want you to have reason to be afraid to apply to them. Neither restriction is required by law. It's just good form and mutually beneficial to both parties.

>and you must give written permission for any CORI checks

CORI and criminal background history in general is COMPLETELY separate from employer history.

You're inferring a connection that does not exist between these two things.

>I believe on thing that is true is that future employers can not contact
a past employer without your permission unless you give them as a
reference

This is known as "backdoor referencing" and in most situations it's perfectly legal. It's generally considered bad form though and most professional employers won't do it unless they have a reason to. Technically speaking (I am well aware this is an absurdity and will never happen but it makes a good point) if they want a hiring employer can straight up just contact your nextdoor neighbor and ask if you're a respectful neighbor.

The only stuff they can't really ask from a legal standpoint is the same stuff they can't ask you about in an interview. Race, religion, age, medical conditions, etc.

From a legal liability standpoint, they don't really even have to back it up. If a former employee sues them for defamation it would be on that employee to prove what they said was false. But most will just sidestep the minefield entirely by not even bothering to share more than basic info because even a frivolous lawsuit they can slap down quickly is still an annoyance and an expense.

This is just simply false. There is no law in Massachusetts or Federally prohibiting an employer from telling someone else that they terminated you. Most will chose not to do it because they don't want the drama but there's literally nothing stopping them from revealing the conditions of your employment ending unless those conditions are for something that might be protected under other privacy laws (for example if you ended employment due to disability or illness they may or may not have HIPPA obligations).

This feels like one of those things where people just repeat an outright falsehood authoritatively because they heard it somewhere else and they wanted it to be true so they just internalized it.

Legally a company in MA can tell a prospective employer looking for a reference as much or as little as they want about your employment history. They can say you were good, they can say you were bad. They can confirm if you quit, if you were fired for cause, if you were laid off. They can confirm if you gave what they deem to be appropriate notice or not and they can comment on your work quality. The only things they can't disclose are things that would otherwise be protected (for example health status that may conflict with HIPPA or other privacy laws since they're a benefits provider).

Now that said, most companies won't shit on you to a future employer asking for a reference unless you left a trail of smoldering ashes in your wake. They don't want to deal with that. What they will do however is simply confirm your dates of employment and make a point not to say anything at all beyond that, which depending on how they do it can easily be used to send the message that you left on bad terms. It's not really their problem anymore but some reading between the lines can happen.

Now THAT said, it's also worth noting that most companies I've ever worked for don't really care unless you have a notable gap in your resume. They're often just background checking to make sure your resume is accurate and are leaving that kind of feedback up to personal references.

It's all one picture. Due to gravitational lensing light emitted 1000 days apart in time reached the telescope at the same time. Basically the light from the first picture took 1000 days longer to reach us because the fabric of spacetime was curved forcing it to take a longer path while light emitted 1000 days later missed that gravity source so it was able to take the short route and get here at basically the same time.

What dumb advice. If they're slower you clearly don't need to push them.

There are multiple areas where it travels east-west, but it is is still a north-south interstate and the two directions of travel are supposed to officially be labeled as either 95 north or 95 south consistently throughout.

I can get on 495 at points where I am traveling deadass straight east by the map/compass and it's still traveling on 495 south.

The thing is he was also a bad general so it's not like there's an excuse for the shit personality and massive ego trip.

King and Nimitz spent as much time managing him as they did dealing with the IJN. And when he was let off the chain without another branch to keep him in check he complete fucked up Korea and turned what should have been a walkover into a meatgrinder by walking up to the Chinese border (and probably crossing it if we're being honest).

The r/history gang must have gotten wind of it. They love to suck the dick of both him and Rommel.

Lots of army fetishist chuds, like the kind that putz around r/history and spend their time going on about what a decent guy Rommel was worship him too and dream about sniffing the taint of his dead corpse.

The WWII pacific theater was won in spite of him and every death after China entered the Korean War is explicitly his fault. He's a bad person and a worse military leader.

The issue is while there's no solid reason to specifically stop people from collecting feathers that fall off birds or other body parts that come from animals that either died naturally or didn't die at all there's no easy way to separate it from the ones that did.

They literally staged a coup and tried to kill him to keep the surrender from happening and came plausibly close to success.

To be fair not a soul on this earth deserves having to share a room with MacArthur and his ego.

I still find it hilarious that people still uncritically repeat the "500 million per day" in the US. That would mean we've averaging multiple straws per day per person. Which given the number of people who are likely using few if any, they think there's people out there just using ridiculous amounts.

Outside of a few small family stores that got caught up in the stupidity nobody changed to these beverages they wanted to do something good. They did it because of perceived market pressure or in some cases dumb local ordinances.

Whatever you need to tell yourself to keep the dunning-Kruger alive.

Please get someone with more patience than I gave to explain various concepts of sampling bias and exceptions to you. You'll be better off for it.

Man if I had a nickel every some goob who watched a YouTube video on a single disaster thought they had all the answers.

Grenfell was a disaster because the tower was literally defective. Every other scenario where this sign exists it is in fact the safer alternative.
