ArbiterXero,

2 problems….

  1. If you forget to turn off the mains, it could really make a lineman unhappy.
  2. Most of these setups require a reprimand dangerous “ suicide cord”
ArbiterXero,

Yes, but not at 800W

ArbiterXero,

I agree on all points, but honestly I’d be pretty upset if I got a solar setup that didn’t work when the power was out haha

ArbiterXero,

I’d be super disappointed by owning a solar cell and not being able to use it during a power outage.

ArbiterXero,

Sure, but this solution isn’t that.

ArbiterXero,

“Ehhh spray the boy.”

Was this the grifter episode?

ArbiterXero,

Sometimes the breed temperament has more to do with it than anything else….

But also assholes all seem to like the same breed so….

ArbiterXero,

It pains me to say this as a great dog lover, and someone that has known some very loving pitbulls, Sadly not all dogs can be good dogs.

Like people, some are just born as “assholes”

But yes, breed temperament is a thing. Not an absolute thing, but still a thing.

ArbiterXero,

Even pitbulls are safe in the right hands. Fuck it, tigers and lions and silverback gorillas are safe in the right environment.

However a proper education in caring for the animals aswell as proper enclosures and a knowledge of the animal and its needs….

Yes you CAN do it, but should Tom from down the street have his own pitbull army and alligator pool in his back yard?

Hard pass.

I’m sure some people can do it safely, but training, registration, safety, etc…. Ban them all as pets unless you get X license, like a gun.

ArbiterXero,

I’m Canadian…. Slightly different standards.

ArbiterXero,

I honestly can’t tell if this is pro racism or anti-racism

ArbiterXero,

Damn. Well put.

ArbiterXero,

I love the concept but……

Air fryers and kitchen heating appliances shouldn’t be left on their own much….

Maybe an oven, but certainly not the countertop version, just for fire safety reasons …

ArbiterXero,

The insulation on an oven is 10x that of an air fryer.

…. And sometimes air fryers don’t turn off.

An oven is usually designed to last a decade, an air fryer sometimes only lasts a year.

VERY different build quality standards.

ArbiterXero,

The Ukraine is the sideshow.

China was waiting to see what the world did with Russia after the invasion.

China is now weighing whether the world will do the same with Taiwan as they did with Crimea and Ukraine.

The world will not stand by because of tmsc.

This is the problem with leaders that always need “more”

This is going to be a disaster.

ArbiterXero,

The Ukraine “operation”

I just oopsied a word, but I do genuinely appreciate the heads up on grammar.

ArbiterXero,

Hahahaha yeah “nobody wants to work (for the unliveable low wages I want to pay)” really is quite the statement, isn’t it?

They never seem to say the whole thing though.

ArbiterXero,

They don’t have to pay them below minimum wage to suppress wages.

ArbiterXero,

So then why are some people complaining that “nobody is willing to work”?

ArbiterXero,

Cool links and all, but you still didn’t answer the question……

Let me be more specific while using your own terms….

“What conclusion are people jumping to, and based on what information are they using to jump to this conclusion?”

ArbiterXero,

So you believe that this statement is literal and they believe that “not a single person wants to work” rather than figurative?

And then you spend a paragraph explaining jumping to conclusions while avoiding the obvious question?

We both know that the statement is figurative and not literal, you’re arguing in bad faith.

Have a nice day.

ArbiterXero,

It’s really not that simple.

It’s not that immigrants are “taking yer jerbs “ but it’s really hard to deny that the economics of supply with cheap labor will suppress wages.

I’m not anti immigration, nor am I pro globalisation. But it certainly seems like many jobs that are being filled by immigrants, are being filled by that because the companies are exploiting the immigrants and not paying local wages.

I work in the tech industry and I see it.

Hell, here in Canada, the TFW’s were used to staff Tim hortons and McDonalds because the employer didn’t want to raise wages to match the value of the labor they wanted.

So what happened? They brought in temporary foreign workers, abused them, housed them 6 to a room and charged them exorbitant rates for rent. The foreign workers were used to depress wages and they were treated like shit .

in THEORY they didnt pay less than minumum wage, but in practice after forcing them to rent housing from the franchiser, it worked out to less than minumum wage.

these are REAL results, and they don’t show up on your imigration study because they didnt immigrate, they were just used.

ArbiterXero,

I totally agree on your final point, you’re in or you’re not.

The halfway programs cause problems, and they’re the ones I’m against.

Number of people relative to resources does matter though because otherwise India should be the richest country on earth…… but it isn’t.

I don’t have any great answers to that, but I can see the problem.

ArbiterXero,

The statement itself is always used by businesses when they’re struggling to find workers willing to work for the pay offered.

It’s not overly complicated.

You finally acknowledge that the statement isn’t literal, but you’re still entirely ignoring context for when it’s said. I can’t tell if you’re being overly pedantic or still arguing in bad faith.

Either way, this is a waste of my time and I’m done.

Have a nice day

ArbiterXero,

Unclaimed, fertile and abundant land that was practically being given away to people is a meaningful difference in easily available resources that early settlers of North America had available to them.

It’s not the ONLY difference, but certainly a meaningful one.
