I have never viewed my employer as family. I have been laid off though. My manager and HR were in the room. They handled it incredibly well, and I have spoken of them very highly for years. I can't imagine I'd feel the same way if

There was a button museum at the time, though I never made it in. I'm not sure if the museum is in the same spot as the restaurant was, as I was there in 2017. One block over from the museum, there was recently a partial building colla

While it may be dirty sourced electricity, there are still significant benefits many people don't think about. As (or I suppose now, if) the grid moves towards cleaner electricity sources, the total emissions go down, where the ICE veh

The best demonstration of the delay is typing Calc in the Win+R Run dialog. There's a difference between instant and "way faster than Word". On Windows 7, you could hit enter and immediately start typing numbers and it would

I'm on a Pixel 10 for these instructions, not sure if other manufacturers offer the same options. Modes is an available option in the tile list. You can go to Modes, create a custom mode, and under display options you can set greyscale

Relatively famously, the Nevada public pension investment manager relies entirely on indexed funds. He has one person he works with on the investment side, avoids the expenses of consultants and a large office, and maintains incredibly low

Salt Lake City area is not particularly cold. It definitely gets hot in the summer, and snow in the valley melts within a day or so. Looks like the cedar rapids site is also closed loop, with the full buildout being a hair over 1 gigawatt.

That experience is ridiculous, I'm sorry you had to go through that. My cousin is a teacher and is trying to support one of her students who is very food insecure. She's currently putting a box of food into the kids backpack every

After I visited Iceland where it's mandatory, I liked the improved visibility so much I turn my lights on for every single trip. It was not a takeaway I was expecting to have from the trip.

My brain couldn't decide which word to use. I asked my mom when someone had moved into their condo/condominium, which came out as condom.

It's great to see an automated method for this, even if it still needs to be reviewed by an expert. Back on the 2011-2014 era I was on a team which helped make materials available for a chemistry grad student. I wasn't aware of th

My understanding was they don't pay interest on tax refunds, but you pay interest on unpaid tax liabilities. Do you have a source handy? My Google-fu is failing and only bringing up interest on unpaid taxes.

I've seen Saturday for payroll week start. It naturally makes sense to align other business calendars accordingly. It does get funky with overtime. If weather cancels a Monday-Friday shift, you might schedule a makeup shift on Saturday

6-week December threw off a bunch of reporting last year for my company. The reporting group was not aware of the 6-week fiscal month, and the date dimension table didn't reflect it. Thankfully no particular harm was caused by it.

Late reply, but that experience was actually in grad school. I was involved with research as an undergrad as well, but it was definitely confusing from how I stated things. I was funded through a DARPA grant. It was definitely not a trainin

A coworker used to work in a meatpacking plant. There were two people who had the exact same name, first middle and last. They worked in the same department and in fact on the same machine. They were both named Jose. One went by, pronounced

In my AP Statistics class, we had a few weeks after the test before school was out. We had to do a statistics project, and the teacher didn't particularly care what it was. We were checking which candy was most popular from a giant bow

Yes, doubling your income and maintaining your lifestyle would make a huge difference. In many cases such an extreme bump isn't reasonably available. I believe GP was more referring to the rough rule of thumb is to have 25x your annual

To put some guesstimates on it: Say 50k average cash compensation (low for tech, but most businesses aren't tech). Health insurance, social security, medicare, 401k match, etc. would add to this number. 10k employees * 50k/year &

I wish so much we would adopt rules like the EU has. * No significant rewards because the fee is capped at 0.3%. * Chip and pin because that decreases fraud more than chip and signature. For many businesses, a 2-3% fee is so much of their
