The sim just holds your subscriber number. I would assume any car with any ability to reach the outside world to be vulnerable, whether it has a sim in it or not, and regardless of whether that connection’s with a cellular radio, WiFi, satellite or other

Sounds shady

Some people have trouble absorbing them. I have the opposite problem. Half of a standard 5mg gummy is more than enough!

Nevermind that, what’s in the glass? Water? Vodka?

Give me brave new world all day - it would be vastly preferable to whatever this shit is.

Yeah, we’re the people who’ve been sounding the alarm for 20+ years. I’m tired boss

Amazon owns Ring, so it makes sense

I can carry a basic conversation - certainly enough to get by and be understood. Last time I went to Quebec though, most locals were like “hell naw” and assumed I couldn’t. Here’s the thing though: this was without hearing me speak a single word. They had an uncanny ability to just guess my primary language by appearance alone. I’m guessing they could tell I was American, maybe based on subtle mannerisms.

This is in Montreal, btw, where French and English seem to coexist as two primary languages. I did spend some time around the Mont Mégantic valley area, though. (A super rural area between the border and the cities, basically farm country vibes). There, I encountered people in the tiny village markets and service stations whose English was definitely worse than my French. I was able to get some practice in with them, but I could tell they didn’t necessarily like it much, haha!

A 21st century bum with a bindle full of salvaged ram?

And here I was thinking you were such a good person! /j

eyyy

Good for them then lol

Technically correct, and that is the intended spirit of “at-will” - but that’s the very thing I disagree with. I need this job, and it would represent an immense hardship personally to have to drop everything and find a new job which might not necessarily be any better.

We need more serious protections against that. At the very least, firings should always have a valid reason, and I shouldn’t have to fear getting cut when I tell my employer to pound sand after they try to double my hours. There should be a cap to begin with on uncompensated hours.

I took it to mean there were some oedipal dynamics going on, but nothing sexual or romantic per se.

You are assuming an ideal case where the homework is challenging enough and meets the student where they’re at. That is quite a rare educational experience IMO. There also has to be the right amount, so that students are working and getting that practice without getting burnt out. More often homework is “busy-work”, or doesn’t go hand in hand with lessons, and there’s way too much of it. I’ve even seen it used as punishment or retribution.

Unfortunately, if you work in the US, you are salaried (i.e. paid a fixed wage, not by hours worked) and make more than $684 per week (which would be very hard to survive on), the concept of overtime basically doesn’t exist.

My company could order me tomorrow to work 80 hours next week and there’s not much I could really do about that.

If you live in a state where employment is “at-will” or “right-to-work” (which is actually the opposite of what it sounds like), they can just get rid of you without cause.

I am lucky to have a boss who functions as a shield from all bullshit coming from above him. I refer to him jokingly as our “shit-shield” haha. He regularly goes to bat for us, but most people are not so lucky.

A touch of nutritional yeast does wonders

If our assholes had taste buds, you better believe there would be a whole category of dietary supplements aimed at making our shit taste good. Then there would be a backlash movement consisting of people who are proud to shit naturally and taste it.

It really hits with the addition of a couple small rocks

Nice! I misread you not txing to mean you weren’t licensed yet, my bad!
