- Penalties must not be severe enough. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 1, 12:46 1

CBS Evening News yesterday that half of the workforce is affected by the SCOTUS decision. I suspect the number is far smaller. Any idea where to - GregW Jul 1, 12:24 14

  - About 90% of businesses in the US employ fewer than 20 workers. IIRC< 50 or more is when the insurance mandate kicks in, correct? -- nm - TWuG Jul 1, 12:49 2
    - Yes, and I don't think there's a real good way to estimate the center circles of that particular Venn, is there? -- nm - spamlet Jul 1, 13:05 1
      - Yeah, I have no idea where the overlap is, but if 90% of employers don't have to offer any insurance at all - TWuG Jul 1, 13:12

Not sure why a temperature system that uses the freezing point of water as inferior to one that arbitrarily has it at 32 -- nm - Zorcàs Jul 1, 12:23 20
- Setting "0" as the freezing point of water is also arbitrary. Why does the temperature need to be tied to - TWuG Jul 1, 12:52 6
  - it's an obvious reference point for the scale -- nm - znufrii Jul 1, 13:01
  - it's kinda available everywhere? -- nm - marcel Jul 1, 12:59 2
    - But the freezing point isn't consistent. Altitude and salinity both affect the scale. -- nm - TWuG Jul 1, 13:04 1
      - in any lab in the world you can take pure water at a standard atmosphere of pressure and measure the temperature that it freezes. The other marker (bo - Zorcàs Jul 1, 13:32

    - this -- nm - Zorcàs Jul 1, 12:33
- But 32 *is* the freezing point of water -- nm - Tyego97 Jul 1, 12:25
- couse the temp water freezes is dependent on the salinity -- nm - Dándukini Jul 1, 12:24 4
  - then that's not water, but a saline solution. -- nm - Reagen Jul 1, 13:34
  - sure but it taste like nothing then :) -- nm - Dándukini Jul 1, 12:39
  - obviously definitions are made using pure water -- nm - Zorcàs Jul 1, 12:35
