I'm looking to get a hole drilled toward the bottom of a 22oz beer bottle that I'd like to use as an incense burner. What type of store should I look at to get this done?

Where is a cheap place to buy new Bluray cases? Specifically, I ordered the X-Men Trilogy on Bluray, and one of the movies came with the part that holds the middle two discs broken, so it slips around when it moves. Also, while not a functional problem, the Mad Men Season One set came with a painted-on logo at the top of the case, and when I removed the protective tape part of it peeled off, so I'd like to replace it. The X-Men movie case is a standard sized case that holds 3 discs, and the Mad Men case is the same size as Breaking Bad Season 2's case (slightly thicker), which has the silver lettering. Anal, I know, but I want these things to look nice.

Widescreen Dubbed Subtitle AC3: What the hell does this mean? There are two different versions of American Gangster available for Best Buy's 2-for-$20 sale, one with this label, and one without. I speak english, and while I wouldn't mind having alternate languages available, I want it to be English as the main language.

If you have to return an item to Amazon because it was defective/broken, does the shipping get refunded as well if you ordered next day or two day shipping?

My grandparents mailed me a check for my birthday, but I'm currently living 18 hours away from the nearest branch. They have an e-deposit option, but I need to scan both sides of the check, and I currently don't have a scanner. 2 questions with this: 1) would well-lit cell-phone pictures work? (I'm assuming NO), and 2) Are there any stores that have scanners available for brief use?

My bank has an option to deposit checks by taking a pic with a cell camera using their app. There's that paypal thing guy above mentioned too. If the paypal thing doesn't work I'll try just snapping some photos and uploading them to the bank.

Is there a way to find a list of all 'real' universities in a particular state/region? Every time I try searching for lists, 75% of what I get is online, for-profit, mostly crap places. I'm in the Denver area, if that helps at all; in-person community colleges would work for a list, as well.

In regards to a medical flex account, I'm trying to figure out ways to empty my account if I find myself with leftover money at the end of the year.

My roommate came down with the flu last week which spread to me over the weekend. I called out of work yesterday because I was feeling horrible and today because I was dehydrated and exhausted. I just got a call from work stating I need to bring in a doctors note for missing 2 days, which I don't have because I know my body and knew that I just needed to sleep and hydrate which is all that the doctor would have told me. Will a walk-in clinic examine me and give a note of 'this guy is OK to work now' or am I SOL?

Thanks for the replies. Luckily I have good insurance, so the cost isn't the issue. I just don't really know how this works since I've never had to provide a doctor's note before, and since I'm mostly fine today (just exhausted, dehydrated, and definitely not in working condition) rather than still presenting symptoms I just don't know exactly what I'm supposed to ask for now.

If I have a problem with the way my supervisor is enforcing a company policy, will I get in trouble if I specifically name her when talking to our HR department? The long & short is she and her assistant show up 15-20 minutes late every day, and enforce rules that punish the regular staff for showing up literally a second late (it's computerized). I really want to talk to HR about providing a buffer for employees that have extenuating circumstances (this morning a loving Semi stalled on the on-ramp I take to work and I got marked up for being 2 minutes late), and I want to point out the fact that my bosses enforce rules they choose not to follow which leads to lower employee morale, but if bringing them up could cause me to get fired, I'll just stay away from that point.

I appreciate the input, but my question was in regards to my own protection, and whether I could get in trouble if I mentioned their names to HR, not how fair the behavior of my supervisors is. I want to voice a concern but I've never had an HR department before, so I don't know what is OK and what isn't to say. I'm not going to roll in there and say 'gently caress my boss, she's a total bitch', but I also don't want to go in and voice a logical complaint and risk my job because I named my boss in my concern.

kedo posted:You can try, but it's probably not going to go well for you unless you can report it anonymously. HR can't magically fix the issue without talking to your supervisor (and perhaps her supervisor), and when that starts happening your name may get dropped. If your supervisor has the ability to make your life miserable and you tattletale on her, your working life is going to suck. Unfortunately no. I've voiced my concerns regarding the policy twice with her, and the reason I got so fired up about it this time is the last time we had a discussion, I was standing in her office when she told me 'If something comes up, bad traffic, computer problems, whatever, just let me know! We're not trying to be unreasonable.' So much for that. And the only reason that our department has to use that phone system as opposed to using the payroll system to clock in like 80% of the company (which allows for +/- 7 minutes before it rounds up or down) is we technically fall under the 'student services' branch of the university. The other departments under that branch have metrics that they have to hit regarding contacting students, but we don't. We're rarely in contact with students, but need to use that phone system so the other departments can transfer problem students to us. I know for a fact that other departments allow employees to work a bit late if they arrive late to even things out, several of my friends in other departments routinely arrive at 8:20-8:30 and stay a bit late to get things done. It's just maddening to me that our department isn't following the rules of the majority of the company. Fork of Unknown Origins posted:Edit: Also 'My boss keeps getting mad at me for being just a little late' is really really really likely to backfire on you, even if you follow it up with 'but he's late too.' This is a very good point, and I think last night I was seeing red for a bit when thinking about the whole situation. My boss has a boss who I work directly under for ~25% of my responsibilities and is mostly reasonable, but the more I'm thinking about it, the more I think the least painful thing to do is just shut up and take it.

I got pulled over this morning for being stupid and not realizing my lane had turned into a right turn only lane until too late and was written up for 'driving on a lained roadway'. I've got a mostly clean driving record (5 over from a few years ago is it) and there's no cost on the ticket but I have to call in. I know there's no definitive answer, but is this a type of situation where showing up to court and explaining things and offering to take a class would help get the points reduced?

regulargonzalez posted:Denver is the WORST about lanes suddenly turning into turn-only lanes. It's an epidemic. I've never seen anything like it in any city I've lived in. It's seriously horrible. If you're familiar with the area, Hamden at Colorado blvd. You go up a hill with three lanes, then once you're on the downside, with no signs to give you notice, it turns into turn-only, but just past the intersection it's still a merge lane with an arrow pointing left. Still my fault, just a really stupid setup.

My department is hiring two people for a three-person, entry level team. The two positions are open because one person left due to bullying and the other was fired for bullying the person who left. The existing person is apparently going to be part of the 2nd round interviews. This seems like a very big red flag to me, as I feel like it immediately creates a dynamic in which the new hires will immediately look to the existing person as a superior based on the fact that they were involved in the interviews. Am I wrong?

the posted:No, but I would say that they would look to the person for leadership naturally because that person will know how to do the job and all the ins and outs. Seniority and experience usually means leader ship roles. Oh absolutely, the existing person will be a great resource for how to perform daily functions. I just feel like it's a conflict of interest wherein the existing person will be looking for people they get along with and/or can manipulate, rather than the most qualified person for the job. Obviously team chemistry is important but I feel like that should be a manager decision.

The furnace in my rental property won't stop blowing (cold) air. I tried setting the thermostat to 40 degrees, nothing. I turned the thermostat off, it kept blowing. I shut off the circuit breaker and turned the switch off on the furnace; the big fuse looks fine. The white/red wires don't appear broken anywhere that I can see. It's getting cold out here in Denver, I'm not gonna put up with a busted furnace; I put a maintenance request in, but is there anything else I can check on my own?

The liquor store near me has had a $5.00 minimum for credit card transactions for a while, but about a year ago they started accepting debit card pin transactions. The lady got mad at me today because I wanted to use my debit card + pin to pay for a $2 purchase, which I thought would be OK since I didn't think that credit card transaction fees would apply if it was run as debit. Are there still fees if using a debit card w/ pin?

I've lived in a duplex for the past 2.5 years, and took over the lease this past September when my roommate moved out. The guy below me was in construction so the back yard was always filled with crap (random lumber, a concrete mixer, etc.) He moved out in February, and the new tenants moved in ~3 weeks ago. I was cleaning the yard today since there was a bunch of leaves & whatnot left over from the fall where his equipment was, and noticed that, along the side of the garage there's still a gigantic stack of closed paint cans and what looks to be some sort of industrial fridge. I didn't notice it sooner because it's hidden from the alley where I park and I hadn't been out there at all while the weather was bad. That's stuff my landlord needs to come and take care of, correct? I assumed all of his stuff was going to be completely gone, and even if that wasn't his, it was clearly left by someone before I ever lived here and shouldn't just be tucked away out in the corner of the yard, but I also don't think I should have to pay to get it removed.

It's used for my twitter account and at least one other website that I'd signed up for (most likely, I sent a password reset email for that website and haven't gotten anything despite repeated attempts) so not a tremendous loss, but twitter's being a pain in the rear end about it even though my description has my name on it, my friends following it, and the location is the state I live in.

I know that you can arrange mail forwarding with the post office for your new address, but is there a way to have them only deliver mail to your current residence that belongs to designated people (just me)? I keep getting mail for my old roommate's ex-wife and a few other people that were apparently past tenants for the duplex I live in and I'd like that to stop (and I'd like them to get their letters  ). I've told my old roommate about his ex and I keep writing 'wrong address' and blacking out the street address for the other people's letters but the same people keep having stuff delivered here.

That said, you probably won't alert anyone unless is was obviously from a construction site or something. Just keep em under the porch so ne'er-do-wells don't get too used to it being the anonymous neighborhood dump. Yeah the area I'm in is pretty serious about being green and I asked my duplex neighbor and she said she hadn't put anything in there. I know it definitely sounds crazy but I don't want to get slapped with a fine because someone wanted to chuck out some old paint anonymously (our block was switched from dumpsters to individual bins a few months ago) so I've moved my bins just out of sight behind our fence.
