    Unionize. Have companies pay you fairly for what you do.

    The problem with that here I. The states are two fold. First of all if the companies could, at least here in the states, they wouldn’t allow unionization. They don’t want to pay fairly for what you do. All these companies want to do is make as much money as possible, while paying the workers as little as possible.

    Most of the companies here would like us to work until we die on the lines, but pay us nothing to do the work so they could make it all. Companies don’t give a damn about workers rights, or being fair to us. A lot of non-union shops will fire you for trying to bring a union in. They would be extremely happy if the labor boards, OSHA etc would cease to exist.

    First, this would be a better question to ask in a Linux specific community.

    Second, Build time is really subjective to the computer and its hardware. There could be bottlenecks at the cpu/memory from the motherboard that will slow it down. It also depends on whether you’re spinning rust or using an ssd.

    There are a lot of factors involved in the whole that makes it hard to definitively say how long something takes to build.

    Money for the most part for a lot of people.

    Passports are $400+ USD, then there are the plane tickets, which are hundreds of dollars. Then to top it off you need to have room and board while looking for a job and someplace to live.

    Another thing I’ve heard is fear of leaving the known and family.

    It appears that the XPS 13 will be the only dev edition according to everything I’m seeing from searching. Even Dell isn’t answering that question. However from what I have seen on forum posts, including one within the last 3 days the answer may be no, at least for now.


  • Actually yes, if we didn’t wear shoes all the time. The bottom of your feet will be more hardened from calluses where it meets the ground. Think about it this way, when we are kids we run around shoeless most of the time. For all intents and purposes, shoes have ruined our feet. Either by crushing them together, like women’s pointed shoes and men’s cowboy boots as an example, as well as allowing the soles of our feet to soften. As a kid I used to run up and down gravel roads and driveways barefoot without a care in the world, now the bottom of my feet can’t handle stepping on gravel without shoes.

    Trust me, it’s not just satire.

    I was in a homeless shelter about 7 years ago, unfortunately as a resident, and this dude I shared my room with was like 40 and would post on his Facebook profile that he was looking for a godly woman who doesn’t want to work and wants kids. His description of her was as follows:

    Must be blonde, 5 foot to 5.5 foot tall, weigh no more than 110 lbs, must be religious to the only point of life was serving god and him. She must be no older than 25 and big boobs and perfect breeding hips.

    This dude was 40, 300 lbs, 6ft tall. Took a shower once a week, worked at pilgrims chicken on the kill floor, and was so slow it took him 10 minutes to walk up a 100ft driveway from where the bus dropped him off. And yet he could never understand why No women wanted anything to do with him
