The “when transporting a large number of people” is quite a caveat. Sure ok high saturation of public transport / walkable cities is probably achievable with high population density, but in rural / regional areas it’s just not possible.

Yeah good old fashioned sunlight is what this needs.

Goodness me. One of us is certainly getting defensive. There’s not much point continuing this. Feel free to have the last word while continuing to assume anyone with a better understanding than you is a liar.

Sorry mate you’re kind of embarrassing yourself a little bit here.

Of course the CEO equivalent exists in government. It’s just a management position. Equivalent services will need equivalent management.

Do you realize how little a CEO does?

I’ve sat on hiring committees for CEO’s. Refining their job descriptions and interviewing candidates. I know exactly what CEO’s of non-profits and charities do. I suspect that you do not.

Do you realize how little the actual money donated to an organization trickles down to the cause?

Perhaps you didn’t read my comment. I’ve been a treasurer for a number of medium size charities. I know exactly how much money is needed to support the charities objectives.

In recent years grant funding for charities has been extraordinarily difficult to obtain. Often it’s not indexed. Where grant funding is not indexed for a number of years, it becomes impossible to maintain the same services because wages and other costs are always getting more expensive. I’ve had to have that very difficult conversation with social workers - that their hours need to be reduced and as a result their client numbers will be cut. It’s a ridiculous absurdity to suggest that volunteers like myself would be taking those measures without first seeking to maximise the efficiency of the entire organisation.

Do you realize that there are multiple charities for the same thing, which just means more and more waste?

For example?

In fact in pretty much every instance of a modern government taking over a service, it becomes cheaper and more efficient. That’s why many governments run utilities, and healthcare.

You’re talking about public vs private institutions. That just doesn’t make any sense applied to charities because they’re already public institutions.

Look I’m not saying your service is useless, but I am saying it would be more efficient elsewhere.

Sorry mate, this is just an absurd thought bubble borne of naivety. Get involved in a charity and you’ll understand why it exists. Until then maybe just start with the assumption that the people who are involved have a better understanding of it’s context and it’s objectives and how best to serve those objectives than you do. It’s incredible arrogant to suppose that entire organisations ought not to exist because the people involved just haven’t realised how inefficient they are. Seriously, pull your head out of your ass.

A refuge isn’t really a shelter for people who are “homeless”.

How would a government provide temporary accommodation to a 12 year old who is at risk of abuse?

The need for this type of refuge isn’t the product of a shitty housing market.

Note also, most of the funding comes from government agencies.

I’ve been involved as a treasurer for a number of “medium” charities in Australia. Most recently one providing free legal services to the disadvantaged, and another running a refuge for homeless youth.

As an aside, bear in mind that I as a treasurer as well as the entire board are volunteers - well qualified and experienced professionals donating their time to ensure that the organisation is run efficiently and is maximising the benefit to the community.

Your comments really grind my gears. They’re born of shallow social media type thinking. These falsehoods are commonly used as a “reason” why one ought not to donate to charities.

Certainly there are overpaid CEOs, but these are a minority. Recently the charity running the refuge got a new CEO. He had been a police superintendent. He took a pay cut of about two thirds in order to be our CEO. He said that he had spent most of his career locking people up, and wanted to spend the last part of his career changing kids trajectories before they got involved with the law.

Imagine saying that this organisation would be more efficient of it were subsumed by the government, so the CEO-equivalent could be paid 3x as much.

Yeah look, everyone has to find their own way, I’m not trying to make the case that catch & release is going to be better for everyone, and there’s certainly a case to be made for archiving.

The thing that eventually got me was maintaining a big raid array. Lots of heat, power, drives dying every now and again. When it only takes a few minutes to download something and I never go near my bandwidth quota (or it’s unlimited maybe) going to catch & release made a lot of sense. I’m not religious about it but I generally delete things after I’ve listened / watched.

I’ve been catch and release for 5 years or so now.

Archiving is such a huge drain on time / effort / resources.

Would a timeline really provide much benefit over viewing screenshots in a folder?

This one has a calendar:

Auto cookie delete isn’t really necessary since total cookie protection.

For me, I often get to Friday afternoon and realise I haven’t recorded my time all week.

Supposed to be billing clients for tasks.

Screen caps every 15 minutes helps me see what I was doing

Sharex auto capture?

Probably because the lack of google apps is the most noticeable difference to stock android?

Wars are won with logistics. What resupply infrastructure do these guys have in place?

Do the states have aircraft carriers?

I don’t know much about such things but I wonder whether it’s possible in any meaningful way.

If there’s a split they don’t just divvy up the toys and have at it.

One side might have a few things on wheels and tracks, but can they call in an air strike? Will they even have GPS?

Some of the best / most nuanced medical advice I’ve ever received is from online forums.

I think what you really mean is “don’t risk your life on the basis of advice from strangers”.

Note that all the other answers ITT say “yes anything that elevates your HR is dangerous”, so OP knows not to play that type of game before his next appointment with his cardiologist, which could be weeks or months away.

Had they not asked, they wouldn’t know to avoid that activity.

Yeah it’s a poorly considered generalisation, but the point is you’re not going to be getting emails from your service provider.

Yeah a lot less for a lot better.
