• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do airplanes have big front "headlights"?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The big white light is used for landing.

  Moreover, while it’s not legally required, most airliner would turn it on when changing altitude, in order to improve other planes siftuational awarness

  (I was curious when visiting family living on a hill with a view on the airport down the valley)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it really possible to tax the rich?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Most of the rich cannot just move to a tax haven. Sure someone who inherited multi-generational wealth can hide it in the Caiman island.

  But if you own a canned tomato factory, or even if you’re a business consultant, you get rich because of very local things, and can’t easily move-it away.

  To be fair, if OP lives in the northern hemisphere, the season for Tomatoes is over, so it’s hard to get fresh tomatoes that doesn’t taste like water

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨if you quit a job you didn't like or was toxic, didn't the financial hit scare you?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Answer based on European standard where worker have some basic rights

  • Not happy in the job : do the bare minimum while looking for something else guarantees that pay keeps coming, worst-case they fire-you giving you a severance pay (not necessarily big if you’re new in the company) and keeping your right to unemployment (which in general are lost when you quit).

  • Toxic environment impacting mental health : Go to your doctor and take sick-leaves, and please do it before being in full burn out, then come back to previous point

  • Very toxic environment, like harassment : Talk with a lawyer or an union representative you may have a case to sue the company, and even quit on the spot while keeping severance pay and unemployment rights, but you may-need a legal advise for it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do PhDs HAVE to use Dr?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Most people with Ph.D don’t use the Dr title out of a formal setting.

  Between People thinking that you’re a physicianand asking about their health, and people thinking you’re pedantic. Better staying discrete.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How does US "early voting" works logistically speaking ?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  How would a dishonest person add extra? Here in Australia you go in, get signed off on a book, and they give you a piece of paper for your voting preferences. You don’t get unlimited papers to vote multiple times.

  My hypothesis is that the dishonest person is an official, so they can be the person giving the ballots/envelope, they were present when we opened the box with ballots/envelope to put them on the table, and have access to the box where they’re stored to refill the table over the day. So getting ballots/envelope is quite easy, and all in less than 2 minutes you can put them in the box and sign near a sick/old person name. Looks like even easier if you close/open the voting office every morning/evening for a week, and store the box for the night. So I am curious about the safeguards.
