You must work in a role where your input is valued and you have a degree of autonomy, your calendar is a collaboration tool to work with other people.
Most jobs aren’t like that, and bosses will use your calendar to micromanage you instead of supporting you
It’s about direction of rotation, does the wrench turn left or turn right, there isn’t the same notion of up and down / in and out because that portion happens when the bolt or nut turns. Also, anything rotation is moving the opposite direction on the other side of the rotation, so if you have to tighten a screw that turns towards you it’s the opposite
I remember having a demo for giants: citizen Kabuto, it was a weird and fun third person shooter. The thing I remember most is the initial quest giver guy and the way he would say “huuungry” something about it stuck in my brain
We found a used older one, used it just about daily for a couple years before my dumb ass left it in an oven that was too hot (some old ones only got to like 400F apparently) and caused a bunch of cracks. We messaged le cruset and after sending them some pictures and a sob story they sent us a brand new one.
Doesn’t need to be a new one or le cruset, enameled cast iron is just nice generally in my experience
Enameled cast iron is definitely a thing, our le cruset Dutch oven is a work horse
4·2 months agoSimple and easy are not the same thing. Sure, enriching uranium is simple, you just centrifuge it so that the heavier, less stable isotopes separate from the bulk. Simple.
The reason it’s relevant is that most working people do not earn salaries, they earn hourly rates. I’m a welding engineer earning a salary, working with maintenance men and welders and operators who all earn hourly rates. Every company I’ve ever worked for has both salary and hourly and also an HR department.
The situation you are describing does not align with the vast majority of working people’s experiences.
Not defending either side, but how often do hourly employees get raises based on performance at your wife’s company? You say performance should lead to salary increases, but what about the majority of people who only make hourly rates?
Making them deal with the linguistic juggling of the Fey is how to have fun with rules lawyer players
Should be holding a flood, there’s even an outtake from one of the voice actors.

8·3 months agoFired for any reason is “at will employment” you can leave for any reason but also we can fire you for anything that isn’t protected.
“Right to work” is even worse than that, it means that you get all the benefits the union faught and clawed for without having to pay dues. As in you have a “right to work” without any pesky interference between you as an individual and the multimillion dollar company

8·3 months agoI’ve always had fun trying to say ever letter in most words. Like that french knight in Monty Python, “I blow my nose at you, so-called Arthur king, you and all your silly English k-nnnigggets” which is hilarious to me because french words dont use like half the letters in them usually
My wife does that, I’ll ask what she want to do “next weekend” on like Wednesday but that doesn’t mean the coming Fri, Sat, Sun to her, that’s “this weekend”
I can’t deny it does make sense to me somewhat, last is previous, this is current, and next is the one after current, but next and this for weekends are the same until you get to Thursday in my opinion.
Its perfectly reasonable to acknowledge your ego and even fuel it at times, as long as you keep it in check and don’t let it get inflated or “go to your head” There’s a difference between “I’m capable of doing anything I want to” and “it’s acceptable for me to do anything I want”
