God love my mother, but sometimes getting her to actually express her own preference instead of trying to guess what we want/what would be easier for us is like pulling teeth

I think the idea is that you have the flexibility to work 10 hours one day and then 6 the next, or 50 hours one week and then 30 the next. If you aren't allowed to work OT and have to stick to a stricter schedule, that can be a bummer, but also this is very much about getting corps out of paying

it doesn't make me sleepy either, which also means that most OTC sleep aids are useless because they're just diphenhydramine in a different package

I actually think there are several likable characters on the show (including a couple I hated when it started)! But it is very stressful and many bad decisions are made that are frustrating to watch

I think it does everyone a disservice to call it a "comedy". It messes with viewer expectations!

Yep, so much of the point of these classes is teaching you how to make observations, ask questions, do research, write clearly, etc. The facts you learn may be forgotten (or proved wrong!) after the class, but the SKILLS hopefully stay with you!

If you find yourself with souvenir cups from assorted ballparks, fairs, amusement parks, whatever, they are great for parties. Especially if they are different from each other - people can keep track of their cup!

Only the last one of those really makes sense to me! If I don't know who the PM is, just saying "The PM" (of where? Which one?) isn't useful (unless the role is the only important thing) Just using the name doesn't necessarily clarify who that is or why the action matters, esp to a foreign audience

Also we don't have knighthood here so we don't have real familiarity with it. But yeah, calling someone by their first name is less formal so it seems weird to add a title - like saying "President Joe". (We do do it for some roles, like ministers/pastors sometimes tho)

How else would you specify which PM you are talking about? (Or explain the role that person has?)

I think the fact that within hours of our party dispersing we started looking at dates for the next one tells you a lot about who T and I are as people.

Over the weekend, I found a tiny pink plastic shoe on the ground near my office. I placed it at eye level, on a wooden post, by the stairs. This morning, on that same post, was this picture.

I think because people like to think that a) money they are drawing now is "theirs" because they paid into the system and b) money they are paying now will be available to them in the future to draw on. Reminding folks that's not how it works isn't necessarily popular

"Christian" is a very big tent. Christians disagree with each other about a LOT of things - theology, ethics, metaphysics, etc. Some Christians do terrible things in the name of their god. Some do beautiful things. This has been true as long as there have been Christians.

MS Project and Smartsheet will calculate the day something will be done if you give it a start date and a task duration, but neither will work backwards from the due date to tell you when to start

I don't need time blocking though, I am talking about big project schedules. E.g. I tell the computer that the thing needs to launch on Date X and that it takes Y business days to build, the computer tells me to start building on Date Z.

I don't need an AI to summarize my meeting notes. I DO need a project scheduling tool where I can put in task durations and the final due date and it tells me when work needs to start.

I think the IDEA is that you made the decision absent the coercion of money, and so someone giving you a thank-you gift after doesn't taint that. But of course if you know/expect that you will receive said gratuity, that will impact your decision!

Yeah, basically. There are canonically folks who eschew replicators and similar tech. Replicators also do require both power and raw materials, which obviously you have plenty of but there may be better methods for transforming them when you're not on a ship.

certainly plenty of people have used their jewelry to great effect this way, but that's a lot more portable than any kind of gold/silver bar (or even coins, honestly).

Spelling Bee, Wordle, Connections, Strands, Vertex, Crossword. I don't usually bother with the mini. Spelling Bee is more of an off and on throughout the day, the others are in the morning usually, and then the crossword usually in the evening, but sometimes I do it earlier.

yeah, I'm an Elder Millennial married to a Gen Xer and we met at a Happy Hour and then were casual friends for a few years before we got together. I don't think any of our married friends met on an app, though I did date some people I met via online dating sites pre-app and pre-swipe interface

We definitely screened calls in the 90s - my Dad was a big believer that the phone was for our convenience, not other people's, and if it rang during dinner we just let the machine answer

yes, generally speaking the fine goes to the owner of the vehicle. If it's a company car or some other situation like that, it's up to the owner to recoup the costs from the driver. E.g. if you get a ticket (speeding, parking) in a rental car, the rental company will bill you for it

I feel the same way and get annoyed when my various mapping tools tell me about a speed camera HOWEVER I am informed by people that the knowledge of the camera gets people to slow down, which is the goal, so I get it. (if you were driving the speed limit to start with you wouldn't need to, but...)

My Mom mostly wants to watch baseball on TV in the evenings now that it's in season and I find myself glad because that means we can save up the short seasons of scripted television for the winter and we'll have a bigger backlog
