They a root canal to get to the bottom of this

“Tell me what you see as it’s starting back up” “It’s still the same screen…” “Ok, maybe it didn’t work. Walk me through your steps to restart it.” “I pressed the power button on the screen to turn it off. Press it again to turn it on.” “Oh, ok, ya. Click the the lower left corner of the screen with your mouse, then the power icon in that window that just popped up, then the word restart. More steps means it’s more thorough, so it should this time.”

This only serves to justify my secret low key paranoia that my like is like The Truman Show… I wish my parents were better about limiting some of the movies I was allowed to watch growing up… Arachnophobia was another lasting damage banger…

I mean, good idea but terminal execution. The hand just has to move opposite to the rotation or even just move to where you’re going to be.

Around 7% for a 5 bedroom house, including property taxes. I got lucky, landing a $106k purchase and then getting a $110k salary a few years later.

I hate my house, but it’s mine and it’s 7% of my base salary. It’s lower than mine and my employers combined contributions to my rpp and rrsp.

I dread my renewal next summer…

I didn’t even notice that, amazing!

This took so long to modify via Gemini but I FTFY, all credit to someone else but it’s a glorious edit.

Not gonna lie, I thought this was going in a different direction. Like, the hubris, it could have reacted by swarming him like he was food to a hungry, sentient blob of nightmares.

It’s the opposite of that plot. In that episode, Mr Burns blocks out the sun in order to force everyone to use more electricity to increase revenue for his nuclear power plant.

Probably not this route lol but I’m picturing a plate of roasted potatoes, a garden salad, a bean salad, surrounding a chicken leg that’s going untouched.

I just found out my 10yo has been lagging behind in spelling because he’s been using speech-to-text on his school issued iPad for class work. He doesn’t have to think about it or try sounding it out, so of course an unpracticed in-development skill is waning. It’s going to be an interesting parent-teacher meeting coming up.

No it’s not.

From the Oxford dictionary:

obstinate or unreasonable attachment to a belief, opinion, or faction, in particular prejudice against a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular group.

From the Collins dictionary:

Bigotry is the possession or expression of strong, unreasonable prejudices or opinions.

From vocabulary.com:

A bigot is someone who doesn’t tolerate people of different backgrounds or opinions. Someone who tells a racist joke might be labeled a bigot. A bigot can also be someone who refuses to accept other ideas, as in politics.

Absolutely! Part of my team carpools so this is a very real concern for me lol

I remind my team about their vacation and floater days on a quarterly basis and all them to be used. All I ask for is time for me to pivot as needed and if you have ongoing projects that you reschedule planned meetings, document as you go, and ensure access is available to the rest of the team if needed.

I’ve had employees in the past who I’ve sat down and directly asked them to take time off (paid) because they were burning out and would otherwise push through it. I’ve even reminded some of available leaves of absence for situations in their personal lives.

If the business can’t continue without any one person, then the business isn’t sustainable as-is and that’s not fair to anyone. Hire more people if it’s coverage or train your people if there’s skill gaps. Documentation of systems and processes is also crucial.

Back in 2006, mine did. My entire program was issued a laptop and it included all the software we needed, including AutoCAD. At the end of the 3-year program we bought it for a dollar.

Fresh heading? Gotta scale that to get rid of loose rocks and beware moving machinery. Established area? Already scaled, metal screening installed, and possibly shotcrete added which makes it pretty safe. There’s offices down there, with AC and whatnot. Just no plumbing in the traditional sense. It’s pretty neat, but I definitely still prefer surface.

No praise needed, it’s gold and I’m not doing the hard work. I’m in a support role and work on surface. But thank you anyways!

I think the bottom station is around 6400 feet, I’ve only gotten off around 5000 feet but that’s about 2-3 minutes down and probably 4 up. It’s fast enough down that my ears don’t adjust on their own and I have to manually pop my ears about 2-3 times on the way.

Work at an underground mine, and the answer is yes. The hoist is operated by a person that has manual control of the cage and there is a cage tender that uses a belling system to tell the hoist operator what to do. The people hoist at mine is 3 tiers, but somewhere around 10-14 feet height of standing room for each tier and with full doors so you can’t fall out.
