  Funny story of the at one about 10 years ago I rented a room in a house with these two old(60+) alcoholics. We split the cable/internet bill, normally it was $270 a month ($90 per person). At the time I was about to move across the country and was doing business trips back and and forth. This month I was there for about 1 week. The cable bill came in and it was close to a grand.

  They wanted me to pay $350 and I said no! I called the cable company and asked why it was so high. They said it was from like 14 porn movies being purchased all from one cable box(I never even unboxed mine) over a week end. They gave me the serial of the box and I checked all the boxes. I found out who it was, I payed my $90 dollars and told them to figure out the rest. I moved out the end of the next month, never did learn what happened to the bill(wasn’t in my name thankfully).

  At one point in my past I was the “stinky coworker”. I wore deodorant, I showered daily, I washed my clothes after every wearing. My boss did have THAT conversation with me, and started using cologne to cover it. Don’t think it fixed it but it covered it enough that I kept the job for a bit.

  Eventually my mother, who I was living with, bought a new washer / dryer. My stinkiness factor went to effectively nothing. I’m pretty sure there was some mold/bacteria/whatever in the old washer that was causing the stink.

  It may not be the stinky persons fault, and they may not even know what’s causing it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How was trying to get a job different THEN vs NOW⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That is one reason another is one my company does often. See in most cases you get hired as a contractor, so no pto no benefits no holiday pay etc. So let’s say a manager has a contractor who is really good and they want to make them a permanent employee. First they have to convince upper management that the manager deserves a full time employee. Now they have to create a job offer, open to all internal and external applicants. They need to collect/sort resumes, they then select a series of people to interview. Now in 99% of cases the recipient is already choosen and the interviews don’t matter but they have to put on a show. Then the manager has to explain why the other applicants are worse and the employee who is still a contractor actually deserves the permanent position. Then only then will the contractor be offered a employee position.

  Also we must keep 20% of all the workforce at each site as contractors. So full time positions only appear when either a bunch of contractors are hired or employees quit either of which throws off the ratio. We have lost many great employees due to this policy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jimmy Carter Casts His Ballot for Harris in Georgia⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is out of curiosity but if someone casts a absentee ballot and then dies before the vote is counted, does it still count?

  On one hand I see “dead people shouldn’t vote” but on the other “he voted when he was alive and it was only counted when he was dead”?

  I know this situation doesn’t normally come up but is there legal precedence?

  To be clear I respect and Carter and hope he is still alive for quite some time but him being in hospice and voting brought the question to mind.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So is the global IT crash fixed yet?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hold up… You thought maybe you downloaded malware (which in this case that was not the only cause) so you took it upon yourself to reinstall windows on a company issued laptop?

  1. Why are you trying to fix it? Submit It ticket and it’s their problem.

  2. If you suspect malware alert it security immediately. Many malware act as a gateway to lock other systems. Yes you might get in trouble but I’d rather be yelled at for downloading something then yelled at for infecting my company servers will ransomware/malware.

  3. Atleast in my company a computer connecting without a company supplied image of windows will be denied. Completely understand you not connecting to the internet.

  4. This problem was not caused by you but could of been… Take this as a lesson to be more proactive in the future.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Either way, I'm getting super drunk.⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Another fun similar idea is drunk chess. Each piece has a value(for example pawns is 1), there are tables you can look up it’s standard in chess. Each piece you take, you take its value in shots(highly recommend shots of beer). There are strategies this brings up. For example your opponent hangs a queen in early game, you can take it but now you would need to 6 shots making you likely to mess up the late game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pros and cons of getting a job at a very small software company? (14 employees)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Long story short… Most of the money the company earned was from the credit union. I went through a depression phase and tried to kill myself (I’m doing better now) so I was inpatient in a mental ward for about a month.

  The credit union got a computer security audit from the ncua(similar to fdic but for credit unions). My boss could not access any system. No servers, no firewalls, no intrusion detection systems, nothing. I had the passwords but was unable to be contacted and “documentation was a waste of time”.

  They failed the audit. Credit union basically asked “we pay you for computer security, we failed an audit for computer security, so why do we pay you?”

  Contract was lost and company went under shortly afterwards.
