  • Third-party sellers of ebooks are sold licenses to distribute a certain number of ebooks. The same is true of libraries. They purchase the right to lend out, say, three copies of an ebook, and the library's app has a function to automatically delete an ebook after your borrowing period is up.

  • Most cities have a bus service, but they only rarely connect to smaller towns ("smaller" being relative here, like 30,000 people).

    To put it in perspective, I live in a suburban apartment outside of a medium-sized city in Ohio. There is a single busline that goes through my neighborhood (which thankfully has a stop right outside my complex). A bus comes by once an hour between 7 AM and 7 PM.

    This can get you to work if you're lucky enough to work a 9-5 next to a bus stop. My work has a bus stop, but I work a 4-12, so no luck.

    My favorite bar is in the next town over, a college town about 15 minutes down the road. If I wanted to get there by public transit, I would need to wait for the hourly bus outside of my apartment, get off at a grocery store, wait about a half an hour for a connecting bus from the college town's bus service, and that's not even counting the drive time.

    And if I don't leave the bar by 6 PM, of course, I'm stranded without an Uber or something, because even on weekends (not that I have weekends off work) the busses only run till 7 PM.

    And there's other towns nearby that I literally cannot take public transport to. I had to work an event in a smaller city (but still probably within the top 20 in the state for population) about half an hour drive away. There is no bus service that connects me to them. The only options are driving or Uber.

  • In a First, California Moves Toward Paying Incarcerated Firefighters Minimum Wage

    Jump

  • I'm not sure how to feel about this - there will always be dangerous jobs in any worksite and it's better that the danger is more highly compensated than the alternative - that the job is forced upon those with the least alternatives and paid the same or less than safer work (like the situation in the OP with incarcerated firefighters).

    I work in a grocery store meat department and was a meat cutter for 2 years at a previous job. It pays well at least partially because you're working with your hands next to a spinning blade for hours a day and it's pretty normal to see old timers missing a finger or two.

  • I agree, but -

    The thing about Age of Consent laws is that a case will never stand up in court unless the victim testifies. Even if a 50-y/o man is sleeping with a 14 y/o girl, it's practically impossible to prove criminality unless the victim testifies in court against him (and even then, there's a good chance that the judge will throw out the case anyways).

    I think men that are paranoid about the legality of age gaps in relationships are either (1). Worried because they are taking advantage of young girls and think they would testify in court against then given the chance, or (2). Are more worried about what their social circles would think of them than a court of law.

  • The charities Imouhagh International, Kel Akal, Diaspora of the United States, and the Azawad Solidarity Association accuse them of crimes against humanity and war crimes.

    Sounds like the the organizations complaining are mostly for the Western diaspora. Just makes me think of similar orgs for Ughyrs or Tibetans or w/e that are solely made up of people who work for the U.S. government or NGOs it funds.

    I'd like to hear what the Tuaregs actually living in the area think.
