That makes more sense, because it's also the Kama Sutra. Karma's got nothing to do with.

I think you're talking about "at-will" employment, which allows the employer or employee to terminate employment for no reason at any time. Only Montana doesn't have that (unfortunately for the rest of us), and employers must show good cause for termination after a set probationary period. "Right-to-work" means that you can't be required to join a union or pay fair share fees as a requirement of employment. 26 states have this on the books.

I live in a state with both laws, and it sucks as much as you'd imagine... (mainly because it's fairly indicative of other issues throughout the state).

They mention that in the article, in passing. "WIRED, for context, lists 164 partners."

Minnesota, hands down. I enjoyed all the other Midwestern states I have lived or do live in, but I really want to move back to MN for the gorgeous natural beauty. My home state of IL is beautiful, especially along the river road in west central and southwest IL.

I love it so much. And the crab is their little fren, and they go out riding on the open range together to gather flowers and pollen. Best buds.

I thought it was going okay: I got 6 hours of sleep (unheard of!), I woke up on time, and work was moving along smoothly. But then... my cat got sick and a not-beloved coworker decided to be annoying, so I hit a snag for a while there. I'm back at it again, having survived the issue with my cat AND the co-irker, and the day is starting to look up again. Here's hoping that the trend continues up tomorrow...

I like Liftoff enough that I've stopped looking at every new thing that is coming out.

The Artisan's Coop is building itself right now. Only time will tell how successful it will be, but they're taking their time to try to build a useful and real cooperative.

Most often not even taking the things that made the plundered product great in the first place, unfortunately.

This was a trip back in time, seeing things like Meebo and Picasa that G purchased and killed off. 😕

Dang, I wasn't expecting Stargate outta nowhere...
