I used to think following the news would help me be prepared. It mostly has not.

Remember to back up your phone.

I don't know your situation, but some time with a spreadsheet is called for. Figure out how to stretch things.

Clearly, this drifts from your original question.

Aim for higher paying jobs. That filters lots of crap. Legit jobs will take more thana few weeks to pay you.

If the timeline is a few weeks, look elsewhere.

Sorry.

Remember all thay resistance he faced in 2016? Gone. That shit takes decades to build up and was out of steam four years ago.

After that I have no idea.

I am sure Meta will find another place for it somewhere on Earth.

You don't count as the "a person I've met". I appreciate your efforts all the same.

I have never met a person who can isolate the moment when X became known to man.

The fuck does that even mean? The second? Is he asking for a dateand time? How many people has he asked? Could any of them look it up?

Older I get, the more carving out exceptions leads to more corruption and cheating.

Good article.

I like a certain unremarkable car from the recent past. As they are repairable currently, can one just buy all of the parts new and put it together?

Are there any parts that aren't sold new?

Have you done this?
Are there any tools to help one get all of the parts?
Any communities?

The Mighty Ducks (midwest.social)

"The Mighty Ducks" did a good job featuring Minnesota. "D2" did a shit job. Even called Minneapolis a "po dunk town". I think the writers had nit watched the first movies.

The lines are long. The food is expensive. Everyone in the group wants to eat something different. The food taste is a gamble. There are few places to eat.

Does everyone stick together and wait in all of the lines? Split up and meet at some location? Eat on the way to the festival and just hang out?

It often feels like there are only 3 productive hours in typical American white collar work day.

What if we just cut out the rest?

Edit: Some great responses. So responses must have also been said about the 5 day and 40 hour work weeks.

Religious Landscape Study (www.pewresearch.org)

In the USA, 3.1% claim Atheist, 4% Agnostic, and a total of 22.8% "Unaffiliated".

In Minnesota, 3% claim to be Atheist, 4% Agnostic, with a total of 20% Unaffiliated.

Posted as I often feel there are few Atheists in the USA. Turns out Atheists are under noticed.

I keep getting a red banner saying “Toastify is awesome” when updating. What does it mean, and what should I do differently?

How would one actually calculate the full "fruit of labor" in work that includes several people doing different tasks?

How to calculate between people doing the same task producing physical items seems easy. Add in customer service, sales, and development, and it seems easier to focus on what other groups pay for those skills, which is not what I want.

It also seems looking at the difference between having the role, and not. However some skills are mandatory, just less involved.

Feel free to simplify, but different tasks is a must.

I don't like subscribing to nonphysical things. I can read a physical paper a month after it arrived. Digital is faster, but I tend to lose it before I have read it.

I need a recipient in my pocket. Too often my virtual thing is lost, my device fails, or things reboot and I don't have my secure 24 digit password with me.

I won't subscribe to a digital only anything. Physical and digital is nice.

Edit: They don't even have to be identical. A digital daily with a monthly print would be nice.

Hello friends. Work email is crushing me. The ticketing systems, plural, email me on everyone's tucket. (Because some people only work tickets via email and others through the web interface.)

Are there any email clients or servers that allow new email to land somewhere other than the inbox? Or allow my view to start elsewhere?

I declare email bankruptcy daily....

Send whiskey.

Edit: I was unclear.

I have filtering, but those all happen after the mail is in the Inbox. I get a quarter second of crazy emails and previews and things moving, then they are gone. (Outlook sucks.)

I don't even want to see that shit. Not at all.

Last Thursday, the medical colossus UnitedHealthcare applied for an emergency exemption that would fast-track its takeover of a medical practice in Corvallis, Oregon, in a letter warning regulators that the practice might close its doors if the merger were not approved right away.

Funny how a month with 28, sometimes 29, days costs the same as the months with 31 days.

Pretty sure I will be asking a lawyer, but I want to learn more words and concepts first.

A possible new job wants to own any intellectual property I create and wants me to declare anything I want to keep as my own. This seems normal in my industry as they will be paying me to do some thinking.

Issue is that I have a number of ideas I have been developing. I am going to float some of them as products in my own time, though this may be years from now. Most of these are outside the current market for the company as far as I know.

How is this typically handled? I presume I don't need to have copyrights or trademarks prior and can just list tentative titles.

I am also a little unclear on the spread between "intellectual property" and "an idea I am playing with".

Thoughts? Concepts to investigate?

Edit: I did Internet search this, but I have not found working keywords.

were being punished that morning by Runions for not waking up the women and for eating Daniels’ food without permission

Any time a young child is in trouble for eating someone's food, it is a huge red flag.

Any time a child is responsible for an adult's schedule, it is a huge red flag.

This article is about child abuse that lead to murder.
