Musk makes up some history with his child. Child comes on Twitter to fact check him.
  • I remember contemplating the conservation of mass when I was about 4. Except I didn't know what it was called. My mom gave us a piece of Double Bubble. My sister cut hers in half and declared she had more than me. I distinctly remember thinking how are the two smaller pieces bigger than the one big piece.

  • Abandoned dog
  • I just adopted a dog that was breeding stock in a puppy mill. She bonded to me right away but has major separation anxiety. Even if I'm gone for 5 minutes, she goes nuts when I get back and acts like I've been gone for months.

  • Performance Review [Mr. Lovenstein]
  • Look, I've never been sick and not been paid for it. And I've never had to get a doctor's note or anything like that. That would be the inevitable result of unlimited sick days unfortunately.

  • Mom didn't go to school
  • Your kid was learning the public school curriculum in a remote setting. This is vastly different than mom or dad giving them dubious materials from a religious company selling home schooling crap.

  • Gen X is in charge now, and boomers are being shown the door
  • The dates for these generations are not set in stone. Lots of organizations use 1965 to 1980 but the US SSA uses 1965 as the start.

    People born around the transition points are going to have more in common with each other than with people born earlier in the date range. Especially when you consider families having kids a few years apart but each is apparently a different "generation".

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation_X#:~:text=U.S. news outlets such as,born between 1965 and 1980".

  • Performance Review [Mr. Lovenstein]
  • Well I've worked at a few places where they've transitioned between the two methods. They just end up taking your vacation days + sick days and calling it PTO. So you end up with the same number of days off but a bit of flexibility on how to use them. If you have a great year and don't get sick, that's 5 to 10 more days you can take off without pretending you are sick. I don't see a big difference if my 36 days comes out of 1 bucket or two.

    Also, a lot of places don't have caps on sick days so if you don't use them in a year, you can carry forward into the next year.

    Very few places will give unlimited sick days.

  • Performance Review [Mr. Lovenstein]
  • I've worked at companies that do both. There are pros and cons to each. Sick days are usually not paid out if your employment ends. But if you just have PTO, that would be paid out.

    The worst of all is so called unlimited PTO.

  • Performance Review [Mr. Lovenstein]
  • I've worked at companies where sick days are part of PTO and others where sick days are separate. In the past 2 years, I've had 1 with pti covering it all and 2 with separate vacation and sick accruals.

  • "30 minutes or it's free" back then was wild
  • That was before the internet. If they type in the wrong address, no free pizza.

    Driver shortages can be solved by raising pay.

    But you have to agree that a pizza shouldn't be sitting out for 50 minutes before it leaves the store.

  • I've had it with reddit

    I think I finally reached my breaking point with reddit (about time). Earlier this month the humorless admins of /r/teslamotors banned me for posting a video of my custom charge port cover. A day or so later I mistakenly posted on the sub using my secondary account. That's on me. The /r/teslamotors admins gave me a permaban and reddit gave me 7 day site ban. I can take my lumps so whatever.

    However, apparently I commented today on /r/teslamotors using the account that received the permaban. Dumbass reddit gave me another 7 day site ban for ban evasion. WTF? Either a software bug allowed me to comment or /r/teslamotors lifted my ban for some reason.

    Neither of those constitute ban evasion IMHO. I'm also tired of using old.reddit.com in phone browser since they killed apis.
