Thanks. Did you know your username is one of a tree's "nuts"?

For easier mental C -> F conversion, take (2C)-(2C/10)+32 where C = temp in c.

16c × 2 = 32

32/10 = 3.2

32 - 3.2 = 28.8

28.8+32 = 60.8, which is exactly correct.

Or if you just want a rough estimate for weather, 2C+(22 to 32) gets you close enough with easier mental math

16x2+30 = 62, just 1 degree off.

37x2+30 = 104 is like 6 degrees off, though. The further from zero you are, the smaller the number you should add.

The tech company I work for had been pushing hard for employees to work remotely at least 3 days per week for the last six years or so because of the obvious cost savings, ability to hire people where the cost of labor is lower, and because it was a benefit for employees that cost the company less than nothing.

They changed their tune along with all of these larger tech firms, presumably due to the commercial real estate market and maybe trying to get people to quit without having to pay severance for layoffs. Of course, they're calling it a "return" to work when they had been telling us to work remotely for over half a decade... needless to say, everyone is still pissed 8 months later, and nearly every conversation at the office includes at least one complaint about the policy. If Muskyboye ran our company, he'd have to fire a whooole lot of us.

No they didn't. See sources in replies. Hamas' attack at the music festival was awful, bar none. But that doesn't mean you should blindly believe IDF war propaganda being used to further oppress and disenfranchise the Palestinian people.

There's literally a genocide going on against them. They live in an apartheid state where they have essentially no rights. Hamas doing bad stuff does not mean that state funded genocide campaigns against Palestinians are OK. The propaganda is meant to legitimize the violence against civilians.

It's handled by individual tribal governments. Some are very strict about who they let in, others are much more liberal about it. Basically it isn't our federal government that makes that determination.
