It's amazing what they can do with computers these days.

I can't tell what that thing is that pops off as he lands, flashlight maybe? Please tell me he didn't ride down that thing with his gun. I am proud to see slides and playground equipment in general is on the ACAB side.

I've never worked for anyone but the family biz. I still daydream about starting my own shop, but I'm pretty sure that when we start having kids, I'll be moving to the south of France, and idk if it's nearly as simple to start a construction firm in the EU.

Fortunately, I've always carried a card, so I'm sure I could get work as a journeyman anywhere.

I'm...curious as to what the cutoff or requirements are for using a phone. Like, can you listen to podcasts or whatever while you're driving or does that count against you? From a layman's standpoint not knowing the industry my impression is back in the day you all just bullshitted on CB radio while driving constantly which seems neither better nor worse than using a phone. I mean if you're using it to watch shows or something while driving that's a problem, there are just many other things phones do now that radios do, and I'd assume you'd be allowed to listen to the radio?

I’m enjoying Diablo 4 after about a week of playing it, got a lvl 32 necromancer.


- this game is really loud and noisy.
- it also feels as easy as Diablo 3, I can kinda do whatever I want and still kill everything easily including bosses
- it makes me want to buy Diablo 2 remastered

D4 gets harder when you unlock the higher difficulties and do nightmare dungeons and stuff. Game has good bones. Needs more content overall.

D2R is truly great. I had so much fun playing through it and I finally accomplished my goal of beating normal, nightmare, and hell on hardcore. Beautifully remastered game!

I've had a little more trouble later on with my necromancer not melting everything in front of me at the end of the main campaign, single target DPS on bosses is iffy with my build. Or I'm just bad at this, this is equally possible.

But all Diablo games are basically grinding games, and it gets harder to grind when you want the better gear? I'm a ways in and I am not confident I can unlock the higher world tiers.

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/lizzo-dancers-weight-shamed-pressured-touch-nude-performer-lawsuit-rcna95161

Here's a not inherently right wing rag reporting on it.


NBC posted:

The dancers accused Lizzo — a performer known for embracing body positivity and celebrating her physique — of calling attention to one dancer’s weight gain and later berating, then firing, that dancer after she recorded a meeting because of a health condition.

The suit, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court and provided to NBC News by the plaintiffs’ law firm, also accuses the captain of Lizzo’s dance team of proselytizing to other performers and deriding those who had premarital sex while sharing lewd sexual fantasies, simulating oral sex and publicly discussing the virginity of one of the plaintiffs.


There's a bunch of other poo poo too. Yuck.

Now I know I was in the wrong, I would read Twitch chat (and chat in Twitch chat) but the company had a "Don't touch the phone while the truck is in motion" rule that I violated all the time. I wasn't even supposed to check the GPS / Google Maps while rolling, and I did that often to make sure I used the proper entrance to a store. I didn't even use a heatset with hands free answering. I guess I got lazy because my old job didn't care.

Back on the job hunt I guess.

Depends on the state I imagine, for me I get paid while actively traveling as well as when I’m with a client, but not when I’m just kicking it at the hotel or whatever, if it’s 8-5 it’s my considered part of my salaried hours but outside of that it’s OT.

It's the same here, you get OT for travel and when you're actively working or with a client. The coworker going to Connecticut was doing it on weekends since that was when thpse visits could be accommodated so wracked up OT since she also had to do her Mon-Fri 8-5 too since we're short staffed. I got took a 3 week vacation 5 years ago using only comp time in part due to travel time OT when I got assigned to help out in a office that was outside my normal commute.

When I lived in Wisconsin and was hourly and had to travel (fairly frequently) for work, and this was 13 years ago, I was on the clock from the moment I left my apartment to the moment I got into my hotel room, I was on the clock whenever I was on the conference / convention floor, and I was on the clock from the moment I left my hotel room to when I got to my apartment's front door.

The sales & marketing assistant wasn't particularly adept at booking air travel, so I'd wind up with six-hour layovers in Minneapolis or Detroit or Philadelphia or wherever, so I always looked forward to the paychecks after those trips.

I rack up some ridiculous comp time going from Guam to the east coast for a conference, as the clock starts from an hour before I walk out my door until I get to the hotel. The average flight span from when I get on a plane here is like 22 hours, and that's with the minimum layover margin. My comp time for this year will exceed my annual leave accrued.
