Right-to-work law

A "right-to-work" law is a statute in the United States of America that prohibits union security agreements, or agreements between labor unions and employers that govern the extent to which an established union can require employees' membership, payment of union dues, or fees as a condition of employment, either before or after hiring. Right-to-work laws exist in twenty-three U.S. states, mostly in the southern and western United States. Such laws are allowed under the 1947 federal Taft–Hartley Act. The Taft–Hartley Act Prior to the passage of the Taft–Hartley Act by Congress over Preside...

Q: How do I get Skyrim to redownload Dawnguard and the other DLC if I accidentally deleted it from the data files menu?

I've tried restarting many times and going on "View Downloadable Content" but I don't see an option to tell Skyrim to download it again.

@powerlord I see. Very interesting. Not something I have ever thought about before - the arguments on both sides are fascinating.

Couldn't that be a general Steam question?

@GnomeSlice Yes.

@fbueckert no but I share this sentiment

But yeah, I was wondering why I saw so many State of Michigan Police cars while driving to my parking spot and then walking to work. Now I know why.

fbueckert

4:08 PM

I just spent several hours overriding stupid base CSS styles, because Sharepoint thinks it's a good idea to do that.

@murgatroid99 I don't want to start an argument, but 'stupid' isn't a very nice word.

@GnomeSlice How do you know nobody noticed it?

GnomeSlice

@Wipqozn Because it had no new votes of any kind, or views.

4:16 PM

Just because nobody commented or edited didn't mean we didn't notice. I took a look, saw it's a wall of text and then closed the tab since I can't be bothered to do anything with it.

@GnomeSlice Considering I looked at it after you posted that your "Views" comment is obviously mistaken.

Powerlord

@Wipqozn Lazy...

@GnomeSlice They are the same question. One is just more general, but that can be fixed with an answer merge. Otherwise, they're identical.

@Powerlord @AshleyNunn He has a point o.O

user15026

@Powerlord It's not Libraries - I can ask there no problem. It's on Writers, actually - I just feel weird when I don't know a lot about the site. Like I worry about being off topic or whatever. I fully accept my own ridiculousness.

user15026

@SaintWacko I am good at remembering, because I make lists for a lot of things, and for me, a lot of the intrinsic reward is in the crossing off

SaintWacko

@AshleyNunn For me, the reward is getting it out of the way so I can go back to something interesting :P

5:12 PM

Hi all

FAE

@AshleyNunn Ah, I've not used SwiftKey's Flow, I use Swype itself. It should know, aye, because it likely predicts what word it thinks you've typed in. Backspace doesn't work?

user15026

@FAE It doesn't seem to, but I might just be type flailing all over the keyboard.

user15026

Backspace works for individual letters, but then it just stuffs a new "I think you are saying this" word in there. sigh

user15026

I think part of it is that I suck at typing on it. I work well with SwiftKey3 just because it has a strong learning of my style and words I use. So I think i just have to give this time to learn me, and for me to learn it

In the Hall of the Mountain King

In the Hall of the Mountain King () is a piece of orchestral music composed by Edvard Grieg for the sixth scene of act 2 in Henrik Ibsen's 1876 play Peer Gynt. It was originally part of Opus 23, but was later extracted as the final piece of Peer Gynt, Suite No. 1, Op. 46. Although (or perhaps because) a performance of the full piece runs to slightly less than 3 minutes, its easily recognizable theme has helped it attain iconic status in popular culture, where it has been arranged by many artists. The piece is played as the title character Peer Gynt, in a dream-like fantasy, enters "the r...
