I have not heard "timecard fraud" before, but it does seem a more accurate term.

Thanks for the comment. A sibling comment points out "time theft" which I have also heard regarding an employee not working, so to speak. I can honestly say I did not read economic policy pieces until quite recently in my life, so

For most of my adult life, I worked hourly jobs in low pay positions and "wage theft" always meant me, the employee, stealing from the company by not working every single second I was there. Interesting to see it defined the other

There was no internet component to moviefone back then. I think you are narrowly defining "dotcom". It was acquired by AOL, which made it a subsidiary of a "dotcom" which entangled it in the overall dotcom bubble. I thin

They had participants carry a folder between two points, one contained papers and one contained money that they were told to conceal and hand off to a person wearing a hoodie and sunglasses. They compared the way the participant walked.

Came here to say a similar thing. The reaction can say a lot about the person's opinion/impression of you. It might be too much to try to correct for other people's insecurities; however, if you find that a large portion of p

I wonder if you ignored spelling what the results would be? ex: kodi, codi, cody, etc. all grouped together.

I have found one of the best ways to be a skeptic is to be clear what you are skeptical about. Example: are you skeptical that the oceans will rise at all or just that they won't rise to X level? Skepticism is often interpreted as dism

I think the parent is maybe using hyperbolic language, but I think, at least from my direct experience and second hand accounts, it is fair to say that, especially entry level and foundational, courses in STEM in US universities are used to

The naming conventions in Ethiopia are different than the western world. My Ethiopian friend explained it to me that the first name is their name, second is father's name, third grandfather's. I'm not sure about the hyphen th

In the US, it depends on the state. Many states have policies or laws about taking pictures in the voting booth. There's quite a few articles about this from the 2018 election.

This is very context driven. I find that myth lists with regards to health topics are helpful. They usually have links to studies and generally aim to dispel common misperceptions. They usually spur me to read more into each myth, especiall

As a single anecdotal datapoint, I haven't bought a new phone since my iPhone SE, and I got that on an installation plan. I also have not upgraded my OS for quite a while either. Ultimately, I can't afford to just buy a new phone

I'm guessing it's related to the hummingbird plugin they used.

It's not exactly true that all services in a local municipality are funded solely by local funds. For example, in your state of Georgia the state pays a share of public education. Most states' largest sources of revenue come from

True, but "rich" is fairly subjective. I also don't think that point was implying that only rich people could afford homes, but that the suburban "lifestyle" and the associated costs of infrastructure were being &q

Fair enough. Critical thinking is a way to think about a problem that does not guarantee similar conclusions, nor does it imply that it can used effectively for all problems.

Thank you. I would add to this that prior to it coming before the judge there is the leverage of "We can get 600 mil now or go into years and years of litigation that we have a non-zero chance of losing, and all we have to do is agree

Fair enough. I took this as questioning the tribe labels: "they seem to be claiming that anyone who identifies as 'conservative' is part of the 'wing'..."
