Define support.
They’re not devoid of allies beyond the US and in general have vocal support of most of the western world.
But only 13 countries recognize them as a country, but not even the US is on that list of 13. Interestingly however, the Vatican does recognize them.
Which is why, they’re remain a nice political chess price for China.
Us, never. Just like with China you can’t win a land war over here, and a home attack has a greater risk of uniting is against a common enemy.
Taiwan possibly. Though I don’t think so. Taiwan is much more useful as a political chess piece that China can beat their chests about. They can invoke the island and be offended about support for it whenever they need leverage right now.
Not to mention it isn’t just the US alone that needs Taiwan and movement there risks a global response.
The company I work for now has very much this attitude for the last 50 years.
As a result they have 3 locations, no sops, and no accountability.
Over the last 6 months is been my job to put us back in compliance with local and federal reporting requirements and develop SOPs. The feedback from the bottom up is that it’s wonderful to have consistency, different bosses giving the same answers to questions, auditors being able to complete audits in expected and appropriate times, and in compliance with reporting regulations.
Can companies go overboard and employ people like me who do busy unnecessary work? Absolutely. But it is definitely appropriate to have a couple of administrators.
Honestly, it’s worth skipping season 7 if you do make it that far. The leviathan are one of the worst television plots in history imo. That said it gets pretty decent again for a few seasons.
Cross stitching.
I must have $700 worth of floss a 200$ custom stand and then accessories, I just gave away 82 skeins of off brand that advertised dmc dye standards, but WEREN’T. Don’t buy floss from Amazon kids, it’s worth it to do a custom order from joanns or Michael’s mid project.
It started with wanting to do a fun little Christmas ornament project with the Littles and now I have 7 mid finished projects including a massive LOTR project I’ve restated 3 times, that has 1 of 12 8×11 pages done on this beast l nearly 3’x2’ Aida cloth.
Oh yeah. The videos are horrific imo
Weird. We pass word documents back and forth all day and formatting is no problem. Even Adobe pdf to year conversions come out fine across the board.
I don’t get your first statement at all. I have no problem opening anything in office 365 and I’m the only one in my office with 365, everyone else has a version of office suite that you could buy outright (which is my biggest complaint about 365, personally I’d rather own it) and we have 0 issue transferring documents back and forth.
Including our insanely complex payroll excel sheet that should be a database. We pay people on 7 different pay schemes, from hourly, to commission, to peice rate, with base rates and bonuses, to special pay programs, using insanely complex macros and external sources, most of which are Google sheets. And that workbook functions from 365 to 2003
I always get warnings that I can break, but it never actually does
What are you doing in office that causes it to break between versions?
That’s what kills me about people who rag on Americans.
We order our dates the way we say them, and we use a temperature system is a great way to describe feeling heat.
I’ve got no defense for imperial measurements beyond scooping up a cup of flour is easier than dumping it on a scale.
But people spend more energy shitting on the cultural norms of Americans than anyone else (especially Europeans) and then spend a lot of time telling us we have no culture.
There are high efficiency top loaders too. I have an old style one because I couldn’t afford to keep repairing my HE, and 400 for a new top loader was cheaper than replacing the motherboard in my HE for the 3rd time.
Many top loaders will lock at certain points in the wash. Most often during the spin cycle. A top load with an agitator is just begging to break an impatient child’s arm.
Wait, you mean the last 2 are, in all fact, the same, exact, thing?
This is where justice would come in. Fixing the system so that resources are distributed automatically to provide everyone with equitable access to the tools
That’s actually where justice comes in.
Fixing the system so all people have equal access automatically under the system
You failed at reading the rest of the comment.
You entirely missed the point of this picture.
This picture isn’t about breaking Steve’s fingers so you can both play shitty guitar. It’s about making sure you can both access a guitar and lessons to learn.
The equality picture would be shoving a guitar in each of your hands and a coupon for lessons, while failing to address that you live 2 hours away from the teacher while he lives next door.
Eta: equity would be providing you with a free buss ride to the teachers house 2 hours away. This gives you all the tools to get guitar lessons, but, you might not be able to take advantage of this because a 5 hour commitment isn’t the same as a 1 hour 5 minute commitment and you lose out on opportunity cost. You get free guitar lessons and a ride, but the system is broken. Justice is fixing the system so that there’s enough guitar teachers within a reasonable distance. Like say, making sure that no one is more than 20 minutes from a guitar teacher.
I do have this problem with the monitor I hook up to my laptop for gaming occasionally. It’s looser because it gets plugged and unplugged more commonly and can occasionally slip out of I move my laptop to my lap so I can lean back when my back starts to ache.
But this is not a common situation I think
