Dealing with bump and sway is mostly a matter of running a ballast cleaner/tamper/regulator along the track more regularly. Maybe replacing some rail. Unless the actual sub-foundation is bad; that gets really disruptive.

Much cheaper than trying to ease curves, gradients, structure clearance, or provide grade separation.

Damn. Only needs to hit D H K M U X Z to get every letter of the alphabet.

The issue is acronyms; there's millions of products, schematics, datasheets, and manuals that refer to them as MISO and MOSI with no further explanation. Any new standard that doesn't fit runs into the 15-competing-standards problem, and ought to be followed by an "AKA MISO" every time it's used.

It's a 'boy who cried wolf' problem. If you start using the term inaccurately, at first you get lots of attention, then very quickly everyone assumes that when you say you were raped, someone actually just walked in on you in the bathroom.

The thing is that it muddies the waters.

• Wage theft is criminal. Basically everyone agrees it's immoral and illegal.

• Statistically it's the biggest form of theft in the US

• If you become aware of it you should report it, perhaps get a lawyer, and expect a payout.

If you expand the definition to include undervaluing staff, none of the above are true.

Expecting wage increases proportional to profits is only reasonable if you also accept cuts proportional to losses.

Yeah, doing this simply devalues the term 'wage theft'. It's like calling catcalling 'rape', except that catcalling might actually be illegal.

Lol.

There should be no need for tuning, tweaking, or optimizing on functionality this basic.

If you ask the processor, it will spit out a graph like this telling you what threads/cores share resources, all the way up to (on large or server platforms) some RAM or PCIe slots being closer to certain groups of cores.

My last first aid course didn't mention tampons specifically, but if you need to stop heavy bleeding, anything is on the table.

We were told that the general practice with a major wound was essentially to use a rolled up bandage to wipe the worst of the blood away so you can see where it's coming from, then put said bandage over the probable artery and apply lots of pressure.

Your job as first aid is to keep someone alive until paramedics arrive. Tissue damage from a tampon gluing itself in can be fixed. Total blood loss less so.

They did say they're an option for a major nosebleed though.

Ah, yes. People surprised that money laundering doesn't become legal just because you use a computer to do it.

Public policy can/should fix shitty schools. You 'just' need funding, staffing, and leadership, plus to some extent a willingness to ride roughshod over parents who willingly avoid teaching e.g. science, sex ed.

Public policy can only do so much about shitty parents.
