I thought many companies used PIPs as stealth layoffs or to clawback unvested equity once an employee had mostly completed the project they were hired for? I’m completely unable to grok “business language”. Perhaps like the hippie poster I

Could you have taken FMLA to go part time — I’m not sure but it may give some coverage from the PIP process (while on FMLA can they PIP you?) and then with a full recovery maybe you would have a chance?

Wow, we definitely had a similar path, though my internet addiction started in college where I would download freeware programs and games via ftp or browse through gopher. Used to write long email messages often. News was a big problem for

I am thinking of making the general populace follow common courtesy so less phones ringing in school or church etc. All phones have GPS, I assume we can make pretty well defined geofences without worrying about passerbys

This has always been a befuddlement on my part about keeping large quantities of wealth essentially safeguarded by a single password and account combo which you then store in random after market wallets. Weakest link and all that. I admired

From my families experience, SSI is very hard to qualify for; it’s for when you have not worked long enough to pay into and qualify for SSDI, which is more lenient. I can imagine it’s rare comparatively; especially if you don’t associate wi

I do wonder if perception of time changes as you die — maybe those last moments feel oh so much longer, and you experience them as another lifetime (part of why afterlife descriptions of near death can be so rich). Like ST TNG The Inner Lig

We keep our cars at least a decade. Any color other than white or black will date the car fierce and many age poorly (I mean Teal went cool to lame in a snap — and I loved it in ‘92). Honestly I felt that gunmetal grey would also age/

What exactly is the context here? He’s calling his (former?) customers/litigants idiots and morons? I must be misreading the framing here…

My current car is 15 years old. I dread a new car which is dependent on a windows live or iCloud account equivalent to unlock and operate. Can you still air gap new cars?

Similar problem for working parents, ever minute is spoken for. When everyone is asleep, the dishes are done, and you are alone it’s finally time to yourself. I like the phrase of having “agency” — that really captures the urge.

Any $$ hardware I give my kid will need device tracking, because they will likely misplace it more than once. And once you have device tracking… you have tracking. And the other poster is right, wrist format is best for kids.

It says GPS location, but does it do mapping? That and calling are like the two most valuable features (only 20 contacts, so no group chats with his class?)

In principle I agree we don’t need to track our kids. But when I was I a free range kid in the 80s, there were pay phones at every corner, I carried coins and a calling card so could reach my parents. Now they have to interact with an adult

I was shocked that manufacturers don’t disclose the entire ingredient list for their tear gas. This stuff is inhaled by civilians, the contents should be required to be available to the public.

It’s also a grid roadway as a post-automobile city. Granted they got SF working too, which is pretty varied terrain but it took a lot of training. I guess we can roll it out city by city but will they ever recoup the cost?

So if someone else is at fault, their insurance can total your car? I thought that was only a factor for your own comprehensive/collision insurance. I would expect if my car is damaged and the repairs are $X, that is the other drivers

by nytesky 2y ago
The total valued does not include the significant time of finding an equivalent vehicle at that price in the rough and tumble used car market. It also does not price in the significant risk that a used car of this vintage significant undisc
