It's worth noting that they have a much different base/bonus pay structure than workers in the US, which is not mentioned in the article. Samsung Korea employees can be making half of the base pay that equivalent Samsung America employees make, but have a much higher bonus percentage to make up for that. This makes their pay much more volatile based on market forces. On a bust year they may get zero bonus. Seems unfair to cap how much bonus they can get in a good year, but not cap how low it can go in a bad one.
It couldn't handle much acceleration. It weighed almost nothing so it would be hard to keep from just spinning the tires if it had any more power.
Why would you get upset at jury rig? It's the original term and older than jerry rig.
If you start getting into radiation heat transfer, then you have to consider the difference of temperatures, but both raised to the 4th power first.
What are you doing with the car?
That's just 0.002 dollars, right?
How do you feel about people who, as foreign students, have just completed a 4-year degree at an American university and need an H-1B to get a job in and remain in the USA?
Arresting people for striking does have an immense chilling effect on people thinking about going on strike. Which does help the company. They get to take the unsalvageable employees and turn them into examples for the fence-sitting employees.
@Akaru88@ani.social since you've been regularly posting the weekly discussion threads, I went ahead and gave you mod powers so you can sticky them yourself. 👍
Got it, finally. Been pretty busted having just switched from days to nights.
I'm currently using a y510p as a home lab. Every update resets the shutdown-on-lid-close setting. Had to set up a cron job to re-disable it on boot.

I finally decided to tackle building the whole Southern Cross Squad from Cucuruz Doan's Island. And after around 3 months of work I am finally done.
This was a bit of a challenge with all of the water decals, especially the commander who had about 125 total water decals. I also have decided that I'm tired of mono-colored weapons and have started painting knife and axe blades. Mono-eye = good, mono-color = not good.
Or as my wife likes to refer to it, the iPhone Zaku. I didn't seem to run into the same build issues that I did when I built the OG RG Zaku II, which had me belly crawling on the floor to find spring-flung beads and supergluing the leg spring mounts.
However, the pauldron sticker with the blue stripes was abysmal trying to get it to match the opposing and ever changing radius curves. The sticker was never going to lay flat. Luckily, there was an unused logo that matched the one on the stripe sticker, and I had a bottle of acrylic paint that was bought to paint rocks, and had also been recently used on some Warhammer minis that matched the color pretty spot-on. I ended up freehanding the stripes. It isn't perfect, but it definitely looks better than the sticker did.
This model is kind of special for me. I spent several months in Korea last year on an extended work trip. I got to go to a Gundam Base for the first time and knew that I had to get at least one Gundam Base limited model as a souvenir. Among all of the MG size and translucent models I found the one Gundam that I enjoy with my HG/RG mono-eye loving heart. Of course, they released the GBK-20 two months after I got back to the states, but alas.
The model build was pretty standard fare for an HG. The Caletvwlches were more involved than I expected, each of the 3 being a whole sprue worth of parts unto itself. Getting the dual-handed hold on the dual blade S mode was difficult enough that I almost gave up.
Finally got my Maxter in the mail. I can honestly say that there is nothing more American than wearing football pads while shooting sixguns from a surfboard. Of course he looks great fighting against his little Rose friend.
The concept and the look of the Slave Wraiths intrigued me so I was excited to put together my first matching squad of gunpla. The Slave Wraith logo decals look quite good for stickers, but I might want to find some water slide versions later to "deputize" other models.
Also getting better at my new game of "balance on one foot" instead of just ponying up for more stands.
I finished putting together the XM-XX Ghost Gundam, and holy crap this was the best model building experience I've ever had. While the special shiny finish was perfect, the massive amount of undergates helped maintain the finish, except some of the arm pieces.
However, the true standout was just how well every piece fit together. These pieces slid together like they were made out of silk. It just felt so nice.
That's quite a thorney proposition.
