Can we make this the norm?
  • About 5 or so years ago I was walking around the downtown area of my city with my wife on a night out. Temperature dropped lower than I had expected so we stopped into a local clothing store and I bought a light jacket real quick.

    After the transaction I pulled out my pocket knife, flipped it open, and cut the tags off and shoved them in the pockets before putting the knife away.

    Guy that helped me find the jacket and rung me up responded to that with, "That was hot!" Then gasped and said, "Did I just say that out loud?!" and blushed.

    I looked at him and said thank you and smiled and my wife told him that it was ok. We all laughed then and we left.

    Gotta love friendly stuff like this.

  • Converted from Nonexempt Salaried to Nonexempt Hourly
  • No, what I mean is that salary guarantees you get @ least 40 hours of pay (assuming salaried full-time). If you show up for work and they send you home, as a salaried employee you still get paid. Or if you finish the alloted work for the week early, you still get paid for 40.

    After all of that is when non-exempt comes into play with OT pay according to federal & state regulations and any contract guarantees that go above those regulations.

  • Converted from Nonexempt Salaried to Nonexempt Hourly
  • Salary non-exempt guarantees you're paid at least the 40 hours a week + overtime.

    I'd push back and say that this is a terms of contract change and get your peers to do the same.

    Edit: I wouldn't be surprised if they do this and start reducing hours for various reasons. And from there it's reduction in benefits duce to not hitting certain hours. It's a pattern that's been seen in various industries before.

  • Republican senator renews push to make daylight savings permanent
  • They keep getting stalled because they proposed bills to remain on DST instead of not participating. To remain on DST requires US Congressional approval and the bills were ignored and were never brought up to vote.

    Washington is looking at putting forth another bill to stop participating in DST altogether since that only needs to pass the state legislators and Governor sign-off.

    I'd prefer to stay on DST permanently, especially on the summer solstice where the sun sets super late and you can enjoy summer. In the end, I just want to stop dealing with the fuckery of DST.

  • Joe Biden got the job done.
  • That's because the anti-Biden propaganda coming from Russian bots & alt-right astro-turfing is effective.

    The astro-turfers are everywhere (including the fediverse) , and a ton of them present themselves as "concern trolls" since it's a little harder to identify them that way.

  • this actually happened rule
  • A spouse, housing, and 2.5 kids is quite a lot of motivation for people to work in the coal mines knowing they'll be at high risk of lung cancer.

    Now switch the damage to groups unseen instead of yourself. Yep... People just trying to survive.

    It fucking sucks.

  • European crash tester says carmakers must bring back physical controls
  • Dumb terminals were extremely prevelant throughout the 80s and into the early-mid 90s. Most people just didn't know that they were "dumb terminals" and either just thought they were early desktop computers or just heard them referred to as a "terminal". That same library didn't update their dumb terminals to actual computers until the mid 90s, but they did however remove the light pen in favor of a keyboard at some point well before then.

  • Netflix Poised to Raise Prices in 2024 as It Continues to Gain Share of TV Viewing: Analysts
  • PS4/5 supports Jellyfin over DLNA.

    AppleTV supports Jellyfin with the Swiftfin app and the Infuse app.

    Jellyfin has built-in configuration support for Homerun HD with their Live TV/TV Tuner module.

    It's not as elegant as Plex, but it is FOSS and is avoiding the enshittification that Plex has started. Plex hasn't gone to total shit yet, and is still a private company, but there's been quite a few shifts over the last few years that were not customer focused decisions. If they ever go public I'd give em 2 years before they go to total shit.
