The entire scam of unlimited PTO is that the company doesn’t have to pay out any unused time when you leave.

It certainly doesn’t increase the time off you get while still at the company. Studies show people take less time when it’s unlimited.

I get to listen to clients go off on meandering rants about illegals, socialists, woke culture, the gays, the trans groomers, etc on a daily basis.

I go Joe Friday mode and stick to “just the facts” of what we’re working on and I move on to the next crazy.

Wizardry was great. I’ll never understand how I lived in one of those ultra religious eighties homes that wouldn’t let me play D&D but wizardry, Ultima, and bards tale were just fine.

This goes through high school now? Granted it’s been quite a few years, but as a child of the ultra 'murka fuck yeah Reagan years, I can’t remember having to say the pledge after elementary school.

Raised my daughter in Texas, and they expected the pledge AND the Texas State pledge. She considered that absurd at a very young age and I think she just stayed silent. But even then, I don’t recall her mentioning it after elementary school.

That’s why you make suckling baby farms. Way more tender than their pork counterparts.

Now I wonder about elephants given that they have funerals and mourn their dead.

I tried via search and failed to prove it, but I’m nearly certain this was an old Facebook satire page.

I’m so old that the last time I wrote a research paper, it was on a word processor with no Internet connection or spell check.

Given such constraints, I can’t fathom the concept of waiting until the end to add all the references. If I didn’t do it as I went, I’d have surely died.

I should add that we always read each other’s papers before submission to get a second set of eyes for errors, misspellings, and grammatical quagmires. It was mutually beneficial as the reviewing made us all better. Is that still a common practice?

I don’t think they’re allowed to eat the cake anymore. They have to throw it all away at the end of the day instead.

No idea where OP lives, so this is local to me in Texas.

Some liquor stores sell cigarettes, some don’t.

Those that do generally have a very limited selection (Maybe two options) and charge about 50% more than one would pay at a convenience store.

Fortunately for the smoker in Texas, the best prices are usually found in gas station convenience stores that are open 24/7, so OP’s issue is strange and foreign to me.

Lunch?

Time?

The words you speak are strange and foreign to me.

I didn’t wake up this morning with the knowledge that I’m about to move to Pennsylvania and convert to being Amish.

We would have to first value education, and that counts for parents and home life as well.

Instead, we’re at war with education trying to water it down as much as possible if not outright eliminate it.

PayPal was so far ahead of the curve. I’ve actively avoided using them for a long because of something that happened many years ago. I sense that young people see it as a boomer app.

PayPal could’ve been the big bank of the Internet and they fucked it up.

The shareholders will not like this concept

Well sure, but if you spend the ten thousand, will you get sixty thousand of free labor production in return like you will with the incarcerated option? We’ve got to look at net profit, people!

Shitty Boeing aside, how are they eating up there? I don’t know anything about space station food logistics, but if a planned week has turned into ten weeks, surely there must be a resource strain.

Edit: Google search says they can regularly send up unmanned supply ships.
