People don’t have 20 year careers, true, but maybe this could be covered under a “stay to play” kind of contract, similar to what I’ve heard about for some training.
“Yes, we’ll send you to < big dollar training > if you agree to stay 2 years past the graduation.”
Insert < LASIK eye center > and see how that reads.
I bet to some people it reads lawsuit and holding healthcare hostage against being a wageslave.
Okay, we get it. You’ve got a motorcycle. Everyone in a two-mile radius knows it. Now clamp a muffler on that thing.
But… But… Loud pipes save lives!
(No, they don’t. They just piss everyone off in a big way.)
You know that’s saving some lives right there.
What prevents me from working on certain documents isn’t the content, or a mental block.
It’s the tools.
Fsckin’ MS Word. Pages. LibreOffice. Google Docs. The lot of 'em. They all suck.
The dog did not twist his toe so loudly I heard a crack, and I do not have to go into work first thing tomorrow morning to x-ray it. He will be magically healed by the morning.
The power of positive thinking.
(It’s not working on my cats, I have one of them on a Pig Dewormer now… no idea what I’m doing here)
Well, guess I can say it wasn’t his toe. Because it wasn’t. He blew out his ACL. Two weeks of rest, the re-evaluate and see if we do the surgery. Great.
Ouch. I know what that feels like. Hope things go well!
Our neighbors down the street have a bunch of loud two- and four-wheeled vehicles they ride up and down the street regularly. One of them has a muffler now, but there’s another that is RIDICULOUSLY loud. (These are the same neighbors with dogs that come up the street and bark at us in our own yard. Not sure who I want to turn the hose on first, the dogs or the loud motorbikes!)
There was a guy in IHOP the other day talking on his phone while he was eating. I wouldn’t have cared, if it hadn’t been on SPEAKERPHONE at TOP VOLUME. So EVERYONE got to hear his work benefits conversation!
People of the world: Speakerphone in public is rude. RUDE.
Should have started answering the questions for him.
I’ve seen a video where a comedian does that, sort of… he pretends to have a call near a loud cell talker… only his end of his fake call very nearly matches what you’d expect from the remote end of the other call.
So his speech almost answers the loud talker.
There is not a major gas leak at the (only!) entrance to my subdivision, and the children and I can come and go as we please. We are not at risk of having to walk almost a mile to the only open road so that DH can pick us up for DS6’s baseball game tonight. Things are fabulous here.
Thankfully I believe it’s the law in Indiana that if a subdivision is over a certain size there must be more than one entrance. The old folks division by us has more than one, but it’s a crappy gravel road that goes though someone’s farm. But the two super rich neighborhoods only have one each.
We have 4, off of two different roads.
That has got to suck though, at least it’s just a leak and not an explosion.
This is the small side of the subdivision, so we only have one entrance. I prefer it that way in most cases, because it really cuts down on traffic. The biggest issue is that it’s 90+ degrees today, and walking is just a pain in the patootie with three kids and baseball gear. We have to trespass across the golf course and annoy a bunch of people by walking through their yards. Luckily it sounds like it’s back open for good, so hopefully DH will be pulling into the garage any minute and it’ll all be over.
Asking if I would like to install an optional upgrade is not really optional if you’re going to prevent the old version from working until it is upgraded. Why does Wikipedia do this with their AWB program?
Google, Yahoo, what the fnck did you do to the Android apps? I don’t get notifications anymore, and when I go into the Gmail app, I can’t read the latest reply in a conversation.
And the Yahoo Mail app? It’s almost as bad as the desktop site. Five minutes to find out if my email “sent” or not? Waiting several minutes to be able to delete something (i.e., the delete button is grayed out for several minutes after checking the boxes - the delay while deleting is worse).
I seriously wish I could get my professional address to go straight to my phone, but that’s one horse I don’t have a big enough stick to beat.
Pardon for the necromancy here.
How the hell does Flash know an update “to fix security issues” is available when my computer is not connected to the internet, and has not been for the past several days?
The fact that this pop-up even exists tells me that Adobe is going down the toilet.
Because more than 24 hours has passed, so clearly a new vulnerability has been found and a patch issued
