- Comment on Should I ask my boss for tomorrow off? 22 hours ago:
Sounds like you’re salaried. Generally those jobs care about getting your work done more than watching a clock or waiting for phones to ring
If you have a decent boss, explaining what happened and asking if you can just take off a different day this coming week would probably be fine, even if Tuesday isn’t feasible on such short notice. Personally, I’d be gunning for Friday (assuming you have the normal weekend days off)
If that conversation is considered a problem, then it’s time to see if the company’s competitors are hiring for your position

I watched this movie repeatedly as a kid on VHS. What was it about?
Follow-up question: same thing but for The Sound of Music
- Comment on Is it worth investing if I can only contribute $50 a month? 4 weeks ago:
That’s 600/yr and a long enough horizon that most diverse portfolios are likely to be net positive (I’m seeing about 5,000 gained with 8% growth in a basic savings calculator)
I’d spend those 10 years trying to free up cash flow but time’s a powerful weapon regardless
- Comment on Is there a theoretical limit to profit? 5 weeks ago:
Theoretically? I’d imagine it’s equal (or close) to the difference between global money supply and global money supply but I don’t think that’s what you’re asking
- Comment on You don't need to answer this 1 month ago:
I work in the insurance industry (though not directly for an insurance company) and while it’s a small sample size, employees there range from apathetic to rolling their eyes at the “poor CEO needing money for his funeral”
- Comment on Is there an obvious technical reason why the major email services (Outlook, gmail, etc) can't seem to limit recipients' from Replying-All? 1 month ago:
At my work we have something in place that prevents somebody from sending to more than 50 recipients but we control our own mail servers and know how many people are in the largest department
Basically, things like this exist but aren’t necessarily intuitive to set up and defaults would require contextual knowledge

- Comment on What's next? A new poem by Confucius? 3 months ago:
For anybody else wondering about the roughly 1500 year gap, there are conflicting statements between the museum and an article (presumably the one above) written about it but I don’t see any explanation on either side’s reasoning:
- Comment on Not everything needs to be Art 3 months ago:
We talk about freedom the same way we talk about art,” she said, to whoever was listening. “Like it is a statement of quality rather than a description. Art doesn’t mean good or bad. Art only means art. It can be terrible and still be art. Freedom can be good or bad too. There can be terrible freedom.

- Comment on Should I permanently leave Israel? 7 months ago:
Nobody can answer this question for you but I think to the countless examples of people not “getting out while they can” who are now–or were until their death–forever trapped in a bad situation that people today forget wasn’t that bad even within living memory
Is it right for you? I don’t know
Is it cowardly to let a sense of national loyalty compel you to be exposed to the mechanisms of government wielded by untrustworthy actors? No, and anybody saying otherwise is lying to you at best; lying to themselves at worst
