> The pay has not scaled and you're working long hours, Monday through Saturday. Not exactly a dream job. This describes my federal job. I wonder how many other federal jobs are like this. My coworkers used to put up with the stre

If the amount is/was under the small claims court level, that would be a vastly cheaper and easier route to take. Rules vary by state, but I believe generally you cannot select an arbitrary amount lower than the monetary threshold jus

How were websites funded when the WWW was first created? Tax dollars, hobby/altruism, university dues, etc. Don't want to spend an arm and a leg for bandwidth? Don't include megabutts of JS, CSS, images, etc. Optimize and

Did they ever remove that 1M+ subscriber chanel that pretends to be SpaceX and show launches only to pivot to a deepfake of Elon promoting a cryptoscam? YouTube allowing that scam channel to get so large is dumbfounding.

I wonder, could an asteroid be traveling at a relative-to-Earth speed of very slowly, so that the impact most like just "setting down" on Earth rather than slamming into Earth?

In regards to some of the other replies: While birthdays are technically anniversaries; I've never met anyone who calls a birthday, an anniversary. Birthdays ≠ Anniversaries. Just like Squares ≠ Rectangles. (All birthdays are annivers

I was momentarily confused as well. Not a feature I ever thought about before, and will probably never use. I'd rather have them implement something simplier like having an anniversary field for contacts and that show up in my calenda

Do you also demand discounts for having a store loyalty card (which necessitates higher prices for everyone else)?

"Accidentally" leave it at the store, or say, "Hey, this was sitting on the bench in the mall outside your Apple Store" and set it down and walk away before they can say anything.

A new scam that I'm seeing is random text messages where the other person thinks you're a veterinarian, or play tennis (and they're oddly worded): > Hello Manny. My customized tennis racket has arrived. I want to play a te

Another user made a good analogy in a recent thread, and they said something to the effect of: it's like self driving cars, the computers can do 99% of it when conditions are perfect, but it's the 1% that can't be programmed

Which is why our (ATC) pay is becoming not worth the job which is why good controllers are quiting or retiring early, and there are lower quality applicants who wash out of the academy, their facility, or skate by until they nearly kill hun

ATC here. It's not always because someone is grumpy or for formal discipline. I only gave a Brasher Warning one time, only because my trainer told me to. I suppose it depends on the culture/facility, but where I learned it, they

When I obtained utilities for my house, none of them required my SSN. The water company asked, but I declined, so they asked for a fax of my DL (which I could have probably photoshopped, but didn't). Just because people ask for someth

That's a good work-around, not really a loophole. I'm glad it worked for you, I have been thinking about doing the same.
