If this is US, find your state labor board here:

https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/state/contacts

It's a very specific question, so probably won't be spelled out exactly on any website, but you should be able to contact somebody with more knowledge of the laws in your area.

I appreciate the 30 second heads up of which exact previous scenes will be important in the upcoming episode.

Even if I've just binged a bunch, and don't need a recap of the broader story arc, there may have been a name drop or specific reference that could have been missed.

Something like 63% of the US population identifies as Christian. That number is over 75% in Latin America.

If they really wanted more Christians, they'd welcome the immigrants. But that's just an excuse to cover for the racism.

They're streaming in the 3d world detail, but the rendering engine is installed locally.

Playing on xCloud will just stream in the visuals that are rendered remotely, so a lot less bandwidth, but then you have the lag, and need a subscription.

I know this isn't what you're asking, but there are two Mount Olympuses (?!) in the USA.

The one in Washington has a similar prominence to the Greek mountain (2,389 m to 2,353 m).

The one in Utah has a similar peak elevation (2,752 m vs 2,918 m).

Ah, the dreaded "owners' vote of confidence." McCarthy has 3 weeks left, tops.

The UFO could be issued a citation for taking an unauthorized vehicle on a public roadway, which would give you a very strong case to have them pay for any damages to your car in the event of a collision.

However, if you don't have full coverage, or uninsured motorist coverage at least, you will be in for a battle with your insurance company when they can't track down the other driver (pilot?).

As always, defensive driving is your best bet. Avoid the collision and none of the other details matter.

The math might change if it's one of those anal probe aliens, though. No judgement if that's your thing, but I also won't blame anyone for avoiding that situation even if it costs them a few out of pocket repairs.

There's also Ulysses S. Grant. The "S" was apparently just a mistake on his enrollment at West Point. His birth name was Hiram Ulysses Grant. He tried to switch his first and middle names, but ended up with the initials USG instead of UHG.

Legally, it's still a license, it's just effectively impossible to revoke.

Edit to expand on this: A truly offline forever-purchase of physical goods can be re-sold. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-sale_doctrine (this is the US-specific version, other jurisdictions may have similar doctrines).

American legal concept that limits the rights of an intellectual property owner to control resale of products embodying its intellectual property.

A digital "purchase" is usually non-transferable, even from GOG. It can't be removed from your own HDD once you download the installer, but there are still restrictions attached on what you can do with it, even if those are limited and hard to enforce.

Qaren Rogers has an unhealthy bromance with Hackett. He'll be the last one standing.

Just because a 3060ti is technically capable of ray tracing doesn't mean I want you to keep turning it on every time the driver gets an update.

More people were killed by U.S. law enforcement in 2023 than any other year in the past decade, outpacing population growth eightfold.

"Don't make a wrong move," the officer said as he pinned the struggling subject to the ground. "Period."

The officer tightened the handcuffs around the subject's thin wrists.

"Ow, ow, ow, it really hurts," the subject exclaimed.

The officer pressed his weight into the subject's small body while school staff watched it all unfold. The person he was restraining was 7 years old.
