The way paid time off works in WA is that it goes into a fund that you get paid out of for missing work. So, a minimum of one hour of wages gets added to the pot for every full week of work.
I go to therapy weekly, so I can choose to either take my PTO to cover the hour I miss each week, or I can choose to save it for when I actually get sick. Hypothetically, I could also save it for a vacation, but I’m not bougie enough to take a vacation.
Legally, I get 1 hour of sick leave for every 40 hours worked. And this is a pro-worker state, most states don’t mandate any sick leave at all.
I think I’m the reason my high school installed security cameras.
So, we had mandatory parenting classes in lieu of sex ed, but the school didn’t have the money for those rubber babies and just made us carry around hardboiled eggs for a week. I still don’t understand that logic, but hey that’s conservative america for you.
This went, predictably, very poorly. Lots of ‘babies’ got stolen, smashed, and/or thrown out of windows, and this one guy in particular kept being weirdly pervy about it. Being conservative america, the teachers did not care that he was harassing girls about their eggs.
This guy wanted a girl’s egg so damn bad, I watched him put the combo into his locker, peeled my name sticker off the week old egg, and left it in his locker over the weekend.
The next week, there were cameras in the hallways.
If there’s no on/off switch, it means it just goes to sleep and never truly turns off. Low power mode is nice for people who forget to turn things off, but it’s still draining the battery to monitor the sensors, so it doesn’t make a lot of sense for something that’s not used frequently.
The calipers remind me of my earbuds, which are always jostling in the case and disconnecting from the charging pins. I can be in the car and my music will suddenly stop playing on the radio because my earbuds came loose, connected, and took bluetooth priority. It’s irritating, and if anybody has a fix, let me know.
Okay, so as a teenager I was a super nerd and got into swords. I took olympic style fencing lessons first, then got into the ren faire and also did some stage combat. Sadly, I have health problems and I couldn’t keep my knees in place, and had to quit. The difference between those is probably the same difference between WWE style wrestling, and BJJ. One is done with choreography, one is a competition.
They’re both sports. I don’t understand why people think the choreography somehow means it doesn’t have skills or rules? It was the same skillset, different rules. Stage combat was unpadded and used heavier weapons that left more bruises when we fucked up the choreography. They’re different, sure, but the amount of overlap is underappreciated.
Because they need to sell papers?
That dog knows the donkey is in charge
Yeah, mania can present as rage.
No, he just doesn’t carrot all.
We had a sock basket when I was a kid!
Somehow Walmart is leading innovation, launching a butthole logo in '07. Truly ahead of their time.
You can’t just say you made a youtube rant about it without posting a link.
Weren’t they dubbed as ‘donuts’ or am I having a Berenstain Bears moment?
Yes, because it’s so great that they’re trying to run the nation like a business right now.
I will never be able to afford an EV. The last used car I bought cost $2k, and the one before that was $500. Used EVs are ten times that.
Yeah, and while the gas company probably doesn’t charge full price for the installation, they make their money back pretty quickly, so it all comes out in the wash anyways.
In my state, the gas company charges the property owner installation fees on installing a gas line to the property.
So they’re not really out much if a homeowner changes their mind.
And the other other half are Jennifers
Nope, it’s gatekeeping. I installed Ubuntu on my partner’s machine instead of paying for windows, because he only uses webapps. Learning CLI isn’t required for browsing the web, and trying to force it only makes people think it’s useless for basic shit.
Yeah, “author” makes the most sense. They’re usually pro-grammar.
