I just have one of those cloth ones to have a uniform surface no matter where I'm using the mouse (during my uni years I was getting major differences between my desk at home and the desks at uni so for the price of a beer I found a convenient way to avoid the annoyance). And yes, I should have spent more time studying and less playing games, but we're all goons here.

Is it legal for a non-handicapped person to drive a vehicle modified for handicapped people (with like a hand-operated throttle/brake)?

Yes, so long as the modifications themselves are in line with federal/local safety standards. You would just have to remove any handicapped driver labeling stuff and don't go around parking in handicapped spots.

is it just me or spotify isn't showing the current song on the top of the radios page anymore and I can't like/dislike songs unless I click on the radio and do so on the music list. e: oh I guess I can like/dislike on the bottom bar, but still did they really remove the flip book of latest songs played on the radio? why? program666 fucked around with this message at 00:01 on Mar 8, 2016 |

I'm trying to play a game on my computer while I screenshare the video and share the sound with a friend over skype. I found ManyCam (https://manycam.com/?os=mac) to do the video part, but what's a way to route all of the audio from the game directly to him without sending all of his own skype audio as well? I'd prefer a solution on mac, but PC will work as well. I know you can screenshare with skype directly but it's kinda laggy and not nearly as good as ManyCams.

Do we have an ask/tell thread for small business owners? I didn't see anything like it in BFC, and I don't know where else to look. I am curious what the costs associated with owning and operating a restaurant are. Things like markup percentage on raw ingredients, utility bills, non-wage costs associated with employees, etc. Right now I have neither money nor time, but eventually I hope to have both! (Google didn't help me find numbers on these; only general platitudes from sites that I suspect make their living selling my email address.)

What are the Californian laws for job duties and titles? What can an employer say when asked about someone's job experience? My manager is giving me some major management experience but I'm not sure if it's verifiable if I were to try and find a new job?

My manager is giving me some major management experience but I'm not sure if it's verifiable if I were to try and find a new job? I'm not sure if there are laws, or if there are standardized titles. Many places have a policy to only confirm employment, time range, and official titles. If your manager loves you, they might give you a glowing review, lying in your favor. Your new prospective employer may not even bother checking in with your references.

My manager is giving me some major management experience but I'm not sure if it's verifiable if I were to try and find a new job? From what I understand, employers can basically confirm that someone worked for the time time period they said they worked, and at the position they worked. There's no actual law against being more descriptive, it's really more of an HR thing. So if you were an otherwise were a model employee, but got fired for banging the boss's wife, then it could potentially become a legal issue. Employers will want to check your references, and a previous employer cursing you to hell and back could cost you a job and make you drat near unemployable. There have been lawsuits filed over this kind of thing. So the general plan is to basically just confirm true statements of employment, even if you fired them. So Mr. Smith here worked from April to May stacking boxes. Yep, he totally did that. As for why he was let go in July, no idea, I don't work in shipping. thrakkorzog fucked around with this message at 13:44 on Mar 8, 2016 |

thrakkorzog posted:So the general plan is to basically just confirm true statements of employment, When I'm checking references on a potential hire what is NOT said is more important that was is said. I also take into account the business I'm calling. Most megacorps have pretty strict rules about what they can say/do for references. Smaller companies aren't usually as policy-driven/conservative about that kind of thing.

Our babysitter said her car (2015 Ford Focus) was stolen, and when she looked into it I guess she found out that that's a common car to steal, but people just steal it for the tires supposedly? Why the heck would that be the case?

It's pretty hard to steal a car and drive it around with getting caught, at least you can sell the tyres on, probably for a mint given the price I have to pay for my new one.

I think at this point resume fluffing is pretty much standard. The into paragraph on mine is nuts. A marketing/PR client of mine wrote it for me and while everything is techenicly true, poo poo sounds way more impressive then it is. Sadly the two greatest complements I have ever been given at work are too informal/vulgar to put on a resume.

Yeah, where I work all we do is confirm the dates they worked there and whether or not they are eligible for re-hire. We don't even confirm job titles. It's not a law, but it's a practice to limit our liability.

Is there a way in Windows 10 user selection screen to just click the user and login without a password? My wife and I are the only 2 who use the PC, we don't want to type a password every time we switch users. eta: I've done the netplwiz thing and the regedit thing but that only works for one user and only on startup. We'd rather just do away with passwords altogether. http://www.intowindows.com/how-to-automatically-login-in-windows-10/ greazeball fucked around with this message at 22:14 on Mar 8, 2016 |

Said about me, by a 70yo Chicago Teamster, to my Boss who was visiting the site: "that boy of yours over there is a motherfucker who knows what loving time it is, I'll drive a fork for him any day". And, a producer sometimes I work for once got me hired for a gig that I invoiced like 10k for by telling her client: "you should hire bongwizzard, he is really helpful and clever, I'm sure we can find something for him to do". Both incredible complements, both not interview anecdotes.

HMS Boromir posted:Is there a way to save an image being displayed using the weird css sprite function that, say, the little images for the games in a humble bundle use? If you use Chrome you can right click the image, click "Inspect" and then find the URL in the developer tools. They're declaring it as a background-image and also a data:image (meaning there's no actual image file, they've converted the whole thing to base64 and include it in the CSS), that's why you can't just right click and save the thing.  From there you can right click + open in new tab, and then right click + save. You could do this in any browser really, but the terms for things will be different.

Any public figure who is not paying a social media tendering company to do their social media for them is being shockingly dumb on a couple of levels. You have to think at least agents who depend on their clients not self-immolating to make a living get that by now. If a TV show does not similarly understand that, there's a lot of drugs being done to keep them isolated from reality. Anyone who depends on the public not hating them to make their living should look at Iggy Azalea as a hallmark case of why celebs should themsleves stay the gently caress off of social media, and let someone do it for them. kapalama fucked around with this message at 06:23 on Mar 9, 2016 |
