It depends - are their arms broken?

I eat one big dinner each day, so I go around 23 hours between meals. It takes a little acclimation, but I don't get "hangry" anymore and can go much longer without effect if something comes up and I have to delay eating.

J is superior. Not only is it the most space efficient, it's safe as the recessed plug prevents incompletely inserted pins from being shorted out if a conductor were to fall atop them.

If I had known I was going to be living in the Clown Country, I'd have gone to clown college so I could be better prepared.

That sub is surprisingly toxic, even for Reddit. I skimmed a few comments sections and the smug/schadenfreude levels are off the charts. It's people curating stories of people's anguish so they can mock them and act superior. How sick.

The romantic fantasy novel?

Their given name is Doggo and they're just trying to reclaim a little part of themselves.

That has been my experience. I sometimes hit up the more niche subs for advice and the experience has gone downhill.

Doing the Lawd's work, Prof!

All hail the Bag Lord!

He was a two layered onion: onion on the outside, rotten onion on the inside.

It's crazy because I grew up "knowing that's just how things were". I'm brown and my name has way too many vowels, so I knew to keep my head down when the police might be involved. Then I learned that's not the norm everywhere in the world and my mind was blown.

 

I couldn't find a more appropriate place to post this. It's a bar in Reykjavik. Cool place, would recommend.

 

Seriously people, use the fucking fan. It clears away odors and covers up the sounds of your dropping a deuce. If you want to stew in your shit smell and revel in the music of your magical poop plops, do so in the comfort of your own home. If you're a guest and the bathroom has a fan, turn it on. We don't want to share.

Sorry friends, that's at-will employment, *and you still can't be terminated for any reasons that are protected by law, but we're not here to discuss that. Right-to-work laws mean one thing: that non-union employees cannot be required to contribute to the cost of union representation.

The Taft-Hartley Act of 1947 prohibits "closed shops", where union membership is a condition of employment; however, union represented positions can still be required to contribute to the cost of that representation. Right-to-work laws prohibit that requirement, allowing employees in union represented positions who choose not to join the union to also choose whether or not they contribute to the union's costs, i.e., if they pay dues or not.

I see this mistake frequently and thought folks might want to know the correct information so they don't unintentionally perpetuate it.

Edit: updated to include link to info about at-will employment.

Halp! Calibrating touchscreen on Panasonic CF-30

Hey all! I've been having an issue I can't figure out. Suddenly, I realized I'm in the heart of Linux users! I can ask here! I'm a total noob, so please be gentle.

I installed Xubuntu and got everything but the touchscreen working properly. The touchscreen works but the cursor is consistently off a bit, with the least error in the center of the screen and increasing as it moves to the sides. I've tried running xinput_calibrator but it doesn't help. I attempted to run libinput.calibrate-touchscreen but keep getting a "is a Wayland compositor running?" error message.

Any suggestions?
