Solutions for dishwasher-resistant ways of marking a plastic container? I use similar containers to some of my coworkers and want to make sure they don't accidentally steal them when everyone's stuff gets dishwashed. I have tried carving my initials into them but that's still not super obvious.

Whoozems are mostly dishwasher resistant stick-on labels you can write on with a sharpie and it stays better than right on the plastic. They're for baby stuff so you'll get stylish cartoon owls on the labels as a bonus.

I cannot envision any other circumstance where I would be washing my personal dishes in some communal work-based dishwasher where my shady coworkers can then steal them.

sleepy gary posted:You are allowed to buy whatever kind of lighting you want. You'll need a fixture with a ballast and the lamp itself. They are not being used much anymore and they cost a lot to buy but they are definitely available. I meant is there anything I (a moron) can buy and plug right into my normal outlet in my room to make it cool and single-wavelength orange. These all seem to just be the bulbs themselves. Would they screw into standard sockets in lamps and stuff?

These all seem to just be the bulbs themselves. Would they screw into standard sockets in lamps and stuff? There's a mandatory electrical part called the ballast that the bulb needs to work. If you buy one separately you'll need to do some DIY electrical stuff to wire it up to the bulb and to your mains power. Here's a dutch guy on youtube doing it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cj566A-KFHk Then you'd need to build something to actually hold the lamp and all the wires etc too. If you don't want to do DIY electronics and furnituremaking you could make like this guy on a lighting enthusiast forum and just buy one of the huge outdoor streetlight fixtures on ebay:  https://www.lighting-gallery.net/gallery/displayimage.php?album=2117&pos=9&pid=62520 Make sure to get a bulb that matches the wattage of the fixture.

I cannot envision any other circumstance where I would be washing my personal dishes in some communal work-based dishwasher where my shady coworkers can then steal them. I have a dishwasher at home but why would I bring home a dirty container when it can get washed at work for 0 effort and come home clean? My coworkers aren't shady, it's just if there's a bunch of identical containers it's pretty easy to forget if you already took the one you brought the day before or whatever. It would also help me not accidentally steal theirs. I should mention there is like one type of container available from our grocery monopoly that is particularly good as a lunchbox so it is very common to use the exact same container.

How about just pooling the containers and not worrying who takes which one then? Maybe even get the employer to buy a small pile of them.

I want to say that depending on the kind of plastic a Sharpie (or more professional permanent marker) might be more dishwasher resistant. Something like this (though I can't find people selling them in single digit counts) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004N84B4G?ref=emc_s_m_5_i_n&th=1

Sharpie makes a super-permanent marker that, although it will need reapplying, should last longer than a regular marker on plastic.

Remember me trying to delete my Uber account? Uber won. The privacy regulator got back to me with a five page document I had to sign for. The gist of it is: the regulator deals with the acquisition, processing, and storage of data not website/app accounts. That if Uber has an right or obligation to retain any data after I have asked to leave the service, they can have it readily accessible in the form of a user account they do not close. And as for the fact that the data I've provided continues to be processable e.g. I can open the app and repeat my last trip and it looks up what that last trip was, it can be inferred I am giving permission for this to be done with my continued use of the app. For other things, it can be argued that I have not revoked my permission given that I have not deleted my account. I have tried to do so and asked that it be deleted, but again the regulator cannot pressure them to delete it. They understand that's a big loophole but they don't know what the outcome of continuing down the route would be. They're willing to proceed, but, as some of my correspondence with Uber has been in English I would first have to pay to have a government translator translate these communications. (I asked by phone whether this would be a problem and was told it shouldn't be as long as the staff at the regulator can read English, which they should be able to.)

mystes posted:I would suggest mentioning it because they're pretty much guaranteed to notice it eventually and demand that you pay it and it will probably be more of a pain if they notice later. I sent several emails to them and got no reply. Since the rent was due today, I went into the office. There's a new person working there. The previous lady who was super nice had been replaced. I explained the situation. She was borderline snotty about it which is odd because I was trying to give them more money. She took my check (definitely got a receipt) and she said she would look into it. By the end of the day, the current total was amended (instead of changing the total, they added an additional "rent" charge of $50. The payment was posted and now I'm good for the month.

When you search my name on Google the first result is information pertaining to a business that was dissolved years ago. It's nothing negative or something that hurts my reputation but I would like it removed. There is no opt out / remove information option on the website and they clearly state that since it's public information, they will not remove it. I have also contacted the site owner to no avail. Google will not remove it from my search results since it technically does not include any personal information (phone number, address etc.). None of the companies that offer "opt out" services has this website on their list of places where your information can be removed. I checked fiverr and there are people offering services to "remove results from Google searches" and they promise 100% guaranteed results within a month. One person I messaged said they can do it for $120. Considering the price is pretty steep and the result is nothing negative, it's something I haven't jumped on but I'm curious - what do they do exactly and is something like this legitimate?

You can make a request to remove results from Google based on privacy regulations, if you can show to Google the original owner of the website isn't willing to remove it. I have no idea how effective that is. Whatever might be the case, if you're an EU citizen you have GDPR protections which basically means you can google a GDPR letter format asking formally for removal, and then if they don't do that you can start a case with your national GDPR branch. Those folks are overworked so they will ask that you've already tried everything in your own power. I'm thinking a lot of those "There were more results but they were removed because of privacy" you sometimes see at the end of Google search results, many of those were also GDPR requests.

Tiggum posted:Check your lease. It should specify how much notice you need to give. Yep, came to post this. We had one of the most chill landlords ever at our last place. She was lovely. We needed to move out a bit early, so we agreed to pay until they found a replacement and the finding fees to make it less painful for her. We moved out and her husband took over and he decided we had to pay all of our deposit as well, to fix the carpets and curtains that were described on the exit survey as "As on arrival". He also claimed we had to pay for the flea exterminators they brought in 3 weeks after we left (And after they'd had a viewing by someone with a dog). Needless to say we are in a dispute with the deposit company, but... man. Don't give any landlord an inch, for any reason, ever.

I have a couple of American education history questions. I’m not sure if anyone here would know the answers, so I’m kind of more looking for how I could go about finding the answers. 1. When did the alphabet start to be taught with the song? (Some of my older patients say they didn’t learn it to the song—so it seems like a early-mid 20th century shift, but I haven’t figured out the cut-off age.) 2. How has the teaching of clock drawing changed? (I learned to draw the circle, then put in 12 & 6 and 9 & 3, and fill in the rest of the numbers. Did it used to be different?) 3. When/how did kids start to be taught how to draw more complicated shapes? (I recall learning how to draw a cube—two intersecting squares, and then you connect the vertices with four lines.)

i went to grade school in the 80's and i don't remember being taught how to draw a clock in school at all. being taught how to read a clock yes, but what you are describing was not part of my education at any point. i learned how to draw clocks just from looking at them i guess, and for a lot of my elementary school eduation i sure spent a lot of time staring at the one on the wall, so i think any additional lessons would've been pointless as for drawing more complex stuff, that's also something i learned less in school and more from like random free "here's how to draw this cartoon character" lessons on the back of cereal boxes and in childrens magazines and such. the type where you start with a few overlapping circles to make a body or face and then start adding features. or books of "connect the dots" where you can end up drawing something quite complex just by going from one point to another in the right order. coloring books also.

I don't think I was ever taught to draw a clock. I also don't know if I was ever specifically taught to read a clock in school, either, but, I know that I learned that at home rather than in school and it's very possible they taught us that in school later and I just don't remember because I already knew how and so I didn't pay attention to it. mystes fucked around with this message at 17:36 on Feb 2, 2024 |

i also vaguely remember being taught how to read a sundial and even how to make a crude one with a stick and rocks if you were out in the wilderness and wanted to know what time it was for some reason, but i think that was boy scouts not school

Maybe the clock drawing thing is meant to be a geometry exercise? Like a practical application of what 30° means and how to measure that on a protractor? Otherwise that seems trivial unless you're preparing for a dementia test.

Yeah we never had explicit lessons on drawing a clock, but plenty on reading them. Once you are familiar with a clock it's not that hard to figure out how to draw one  and instruction for drawing shapes will vary a lot IME, some geometry teachers will focus more on how to draw shapes as well as the math while some will mostly just focus on the math. Some art teachers will do formulaic shapes and some will do things a little more freeform. As for the alphabet song, the melody itself dates back to Mozart but I don't know when it turned into the alphabet song. Wikipedia says 1835 or possibly earlier, but when it became widespread is an interesting question.
