Don't know who you work for, but it is a safe bet loyalty is foolish. You are at high risk for being dumped for little to no reason as soon as you become too costly. 1-3% raises are honestly shit and isn't rewarding for increased experience/performance at all. Any company that barely (in fact since Covid 1-3% is not even) keeps up with inflation is flat out taking advantage of your apathy.

They have it really bad over there. My understanding is most European countries would laugh at Canadian labour law, but Canada laughs at the US's.

Depends on the Province I think. Where I'm at you're entitled to 30 min off (unpaid) within the first 5 hours, and another within 8 if you're working longer than 8 hours. 15 min breaks are not mandated except that if the company gives you them they must be paid.

I used to think Universal Healthcare and UBI were good ideas. Now I spend my life tilting at windmills. Anyone have a red hat I can borrow?

Whether we need to create a new system that is designed to catch fraud prior to publication is a whole different question

That system already exists. It's what replication studies are for. Whether we desperately need to massively bolster the amount of replication studies done is the question, and the answer is 'yes'.

It's too good. I'm kind of in the same boat. I have to go looking to see whats out there to know now. I'm basically reliant on paying attention to social media discussions/increased interest or relevance to suspect something new is coming out.

That's more a question of semantics (and dosage I suppose). Radioactive elements can be therapeutic if used properly in a hospital (X-ray scan, radiation treatment for cancers, etc...).

More to the point, radiation spurs mutation. Mutation 99.9% of the times is bad, but that 0.1% chance of a beneficial mutation is a major driver of evolution. So in a way radioactive elements help create new 'forms' of life via speciation.

All the noble gases imo.

Because unless it is stated explicitly it wasn't actually meant? So you understand how the ban was wrong then as I didn't explicitly say "the IDF are right to use palestinian shields" right? Thank you for agreeing with me.

Russian companies have established a barter trade system with Pakistan to facilitate economic exchanges without the need for monetary transactions, as they seek to overcome challenges with payments related to Western sanctions on Moscow.

Under the terms of the agreement, Russia will export 20,000 tons of chickpeas, while Pakistan will supply an equivalent amount of rice. Another contract stipulates that Russia will send 15,000 tons of chickpeas and 10,000 tons of lentils in exchange for 15,000 tons of mandarins and 10,000 tons of potatoes.

While monetary transactions are under increasing scrutiny due to international sanctions against Russia in retaliation for its invasion of Ukraine, barter schemes offer companies a way to circumvent complications by exchanging goods directly rather than involving bank payments. Such deals help avoid attention from monitoring organizations tasked with ensuring compliance with sanctions.

This is not Russia's first exploration of barter trade as a solution to payment issues. In August, Reuters reported that Russia had been in discussions with China about resuming barter trade, particularly in metals and agricultural products. However, that project has been slow to gain momentum, as individual companies have struggled to meet the specific needs of both sides.
