Yes, the company I’m at all employees are on a yearly salary. It simplifies accounting because you don’t me d to tally timecards and have unique payroll each period.

We’ve had those temps, and sweating all day with AC unit running sucks. I’d much rather put on a sweater if I feel chilly in the Winter.

Lol. I don’t call people often. But when I have free time I sometimes think I should reconnect, however that is rare because I end up doing other things than phone calls.
Just saw my bestman from my wedding after not seeing him in 30 years. I should try harder to connect with others 😀

I hope this is “Hey babe I’m back from my hunting trip early, wanna grab some grub at our favorite place”, and not “yeah my profile showed a suit, but I always have to be ready when outside in case something kicks off, ya know”

I’ve tried explaining this to my wife but she doesn’t get it, because when she is alone she is lonely. When I’m alone I’m fine, I enjoy the moment or free time or however it unfolds.
She used to try to preset get together time with friends for me if she was out of town. Lol. Imma be fine. Movies, books, poetry, artwork, call a friend from 20 years ago, sleep,take hikes, sit on porch with cofeee watching leaves blow in the wind…etc
- Comment on Intuitive explanation for conductor diameter v. electrical wavelength? 1 week ago:
I guess you could think of it like blowing across a large bottle you get a deep resonance, and blowing across a skinny tube you get a higher pitched tone due to the wave change.
So on a large one, in wires, you compensate the length to adjust the “tone”

- Comment on How do industries that provide goods like lumber or livestock maintain output when their goods take a long time to develop but get used/processed in a short period of time? 2 weeks ago:
It’s the difference between lead time and production period.
Let’s say GM rolls off 1 car out of the assembly line every hour, it doesn’t mean the work they do to build a car only takes an hour.
Maybe it takes a week? (I’m guessing) to get from frame to finished vehicle. It means the first six days are just filling the plant line, and 7th day they plop out a car an hour as they add one frame to the input at one an hour, but lead time is a full week to get car X from start to finish.

A meme acts as a unit for carrying cultural ideas, symbols, or practices, that can be transmitted from one mind to another through writing, speech, gestures, rituals, or other imitable phenomena with a mimicked theme.
Memes carry a lot of meta data that is unspoken, a single meme can be worth a thousand words

Ha. Corporations. TD bank did this to my kids Savings Accounts. When in one day and accounts had been archived due to lack of deposit or withdrawal activities. Like WTF they are 8,10, 14, how many transactions did you expect they’d make.
- Comment on Park benches don't "open" until 10am 3 weeks ago:
In metro Vancouver area theyve bought old hotels and other buildings and set up barrier free housing. But it doesn’t totally fix it because some, due to mental health, still don’t want housing (or rules that go with housing) and some are destructive and start fires.
Its a super tough problem that needs a root cause fix in early childhood years when kids need a good life.
A former addict/homeless person also mentioned that all the comforts, and safe injection sites, free clean drugs, etc just insentivized them to keep using, since there wasn’t hardship to force change.
Its like a no win situation, right now.
- Comment on Microsoft Paint and Photos Embed Server-Issued GUIDs as Invisible Watermarks in Locally-Generated Images 3 weeks ago:
In the last 5 years (in the west) it has gone from 1% to 5-6%. So instead of 1 out of 100 people you meet having a Linux aystem, 1 out of 20 might. That’s a significant change. Before trump in the white house it may not have eclipsed Windows use (even though their market share has been dropping for a decade), but with Trump threatening the world countries have seriously reconsidered dropping Microsoft Products for sovereign security. Without a Microsoft product there is no reason to run a bloated MS OS anymore.

Since COVID some Conservative people I know have become like those animals that can’t comprehend things that didn’t happen right in front of them.
My kid is a teacher (in Canada so they are paid really well). But its solely on them to develop all the lessons and gather everything needed. They are working to do this after hours and weekends.

- Comment on The FTC is cracking down on companies that charge you a "personalized price" 4 weeks ago:
That’s a different issue, if the selling price doesn’t cover costs it gets adjusted, its meant to prenet citizens being ripped of by price gouging practices or like the bread price fixing scandal we have in Canada.

- Comment on When I was younger my father taught me how to box. Using my fists. How come in movies or tv shows it's all about hitting with the elbow now? How does one train to hit with your elbow? 4 weeks ago:
Because it is the movies. If you are getting in close enough to use your elbow you are also putting yourself at risk of being hit/injured/grappled.
Boxers with long arms can strike an opponent suddenly, with less risk if being close to somebody.
Best offense would be catapulting large rocks from a safe location, but this doesn’t make for good movie melee scenes :)
- Comment on That's just science 4 weeks ago:
I’d have to go back and find the science article, but it was something about sunrise, sunset which would often provide end of spectrum red or blue, while full daylight provided a lot of green light spectrum. Plants having to balalnce processes in full spectrum would overload/oveheat so they evolved to reflect or transmit through 80% of that spectrum.
They mostly use red and blue for photosynthesis because those seem more steady during daylight hours in various seasons and hours of the day. Cloudy day still gets infrared end through etc.
The green overlaps into red and blue zones. Its not so much that it is higher energy than blue, but a wider amount of spectrum total energy the plant wants to avoid.
- Comment on That's just science 4 weeks ago:
We have diverse geography, and genetic diversity. Obviously this plant worked out a way to use the high energy of the wide green ranhe, without overcooking itself. But if you compare all plamt leaves and grasses of plant life green is the most common.
- Comment on That's just science 4 weeks ago:
Plants look green because the green spectrum has a lot of energy, and to stop over heating and leaf burning and messing with the delicate photosynthesis, plants reflect or let green mostly pass through and only use about 20% of green soecturm energy, while mostly use all of red end and blue end… At least that’s what I heard on a science show.

Try dried fried onions. They always have them at Indian Grocery stores, or dutch shops.
You can skip whole steps in recipes of browning, caramelizing onions for sauces , stews, etc just dump a few tablespoonsfulls in. Also makes excellent brown gravy base with some soysauce and Marmite.
