I’m in the USA and I get 3 weeks paid vacation, 10 paid holidays, and 2 “personal days” which are also PTO, and more sick time than I am ever able to use up. I think I have over 200 hours of sick leave PTO accrued.

This is not a basic entry-level job though, it’s after climbing the career ladder for years. It would be much nicer for our country’s folks if everyone was allowed as much PTO by all jobs.

Making any excuse to not learn how analog clocks work is what’s really a weak assertion. It’s not that fucking hard.

Sounds like you just didn’t understand. Each hour of the 12 on the clock takes up 30° of the circle, and we measure time in cycles of hours, minutes, seconds that all match up well with the 360° of a circle.

It helps give people a geometrical understanding of the cyclic nature of time.

Yeah, I set the toaster on fire once also. I had read online that you can make cheese toast in there if you turn the toaster sideways so that the cheese is on top vs gravity. It might have worked if the toaster hadn’t caught fire. I had to throw it out the front door into the yard

How many medals do you have?

It’s really not if you have the right setup at home, instead of using somebody else’s servers. Like nobody has a NAS or their own servers?

It’s much nicer not worrying about who can get to my files in the cloud, when they’re not in the cloud.

What are you doing in the bathroom, Keanu? I thought you were driving a bus???

Audiobooks are also passive listening which is not cognitively absorbed as thoroughly as active reading. IMO you have not “read” a book if you just listened to someone read it to you. Reading with your own eyes engages more thinking processes, forcing the reader to think more about what they’ve read.

Perfection

I don’t think we asked about you, did we? Anyway, I hope you find some relief from those problems.

I have actually done this too, I have pics of the darted roach somewhere. I think it took me 3 shots to get one to hit it.

The roach does not die from the dart, it’s just going to keep moving until you pull it down and squash it or something. I wouldn’t recommend it unless you just want to get some live target practice and need to kill a roach.

LOL right, tell yourself whatever you need to

So are you people in this meme just on your phone all day looking at stupid phone apps? God, what a waste of life.

Smartphones are just boring little tools guys. Don’t make it your life. Be a real nerd, get a PC, and surf the web where there are no limitations set by apps. Play some video games, look at porn sites, do some online shopping or whatever. If you’re done with all that, go outside and ride a bike or something.

It was not a Bass Pro Shop then. It was The Pyramid, concert venue / arena.

I saw Jimmy Page and Robert Plant play there in the late 90’s. It was totally awesome, they played almost 3 hours of Led Zeppelin and Page/Plant songs. John Bonham’s son Jason was on drums.

Streaming in general is great. Streaming services are a mixed bag of results, but overall our options are excellent at this point in time. You can have streaming services with no contract, pay for one month and abandon it if you don’t like it. There are also numerous FREE streaming services with lots of great content.

It’s important to understand the above in the context of how it used to be before Streaming was an option. There was basically only the option to have a cable or satellite TV on contract, or use OTA antenna TV, or watch everything on disc / tape. So yeah I think streaming is great.

Having said all that, I buy anything I want to keep perpetually on disc. 4k Blu-ray for movies and CDs for music (I bought 3 albums on CD over the last couple weeks). Games don’t fit on discs anymore so I try to get stuff on GOG when it works out.

I’ll be fine, because I have access to quality healthcare here in the USA, like I’ve been saying already.

You could really use some work on your tact. Perhaps you could get some mental health treatment in your healthcare utopia there.

I’ll give one tip for free: if you want to gain the sympathy of someone you’re speaking to, you don’t tell them “fuck you” at all, because that is quite tactless.

Removed by mod

Nowhere did I ever say anything like that. Not once did I say “the American healthcare system is perfect” or great or even good.

What I said already is still there where I said it before. Please do not make up your own interpretations of my words, because you cannot speak for me.
