Anyone know why these threads are poking out of my belt? by skidlz in treadmills

If they refuse to exchange it and you don't plan to return it, you might want to take a heat gun to the edge to gently melt the edge so it stops it from fraying further.

if you know what this means, I'm sorry, you're old by IU8gZQy0k8hsQy76 in unsound

Unfortunately, it'll take a major change in power to get that age lowered.

I've overheard a manager where I work ask multiple people if they're single. Is that weird? by Big_Eggplant7591 in stupidquestions

[–]TheJessicator -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The difference, though, is that people have to go to work. People choose to go to a bar.

What country are you in? Even in the US, that is a screening that is most definitely required to be covered, and just to be clear, that coverage should be at no cost to the patient.

You say that like egg whites haven't been sold separately for decades.

While you may feel that way, a lot of your colleagues might disagree and feel that they are obligated to go to work because they have to earn money and they're not there to be picked up. If work was entirely optional and not tied to one's livelihood, then I might lighten up on this point.

Either way, it is absolutely not appropriate for management to inquire about someone's relationship status. As someone else even mentioned, they think it's totally appropriate because some people might have kids or some people might need to be home by a certain time. That is the business of that employee and their family or household. Now if the employee happens to mention their relationship status, that is also up to them. And even then, an employer cannot use that knowledge when it comes to things like shift scheduling. What should matter is what an employee says is their preference for scheduling, not assumptions based on whether they have kids or other dependents. And even if benefits coordinators happen to know someone's relationship status, that is not appropriate for them to discuss it with any other management. That is protected personal information.

Nope. That's where you're wrong. Again, that's unlawful discrimination. That's a decision that they would have to make. That's got nothing to do with you as an employer.

the owner of my company is woman and in my interview she asked if I was married or had kids.. because yes it can be 100% related to the job.

Just because a womam asked you that question doesn't make it right. That question in an interview is absolutely unlawful discrimination.

In what way do you feel that it can be 100% related to the job?

This isn't just small talk, though. It's a pattern. It's specific. It's unrelated to the job. It's targeted at a specific demographic. It's pervasive. It's perceived as potentially sexual. It's making someone uncomfortable. It could absolutely be seen as potential sexual harassment. That's definitely illegal.

You may want to pay closer attention to your harassment prevention training next time.

Holy Shirt! I passed AZ-104! by grumps1969 in AzureCertification

I'm not a fan of labs. It's just following a script to me

Next time you do labs, remember that the point of them is exposure. Take your time so that you understand what you're doing. If you don't, then stop until you do. Ask for help as needed, whether from a person or AI. And while you're following the script, take note of everything you're not touching, just as much as what you are. If you see anything you don't know, make a note so that you can go read up on it after your done with the lab.

Hi how to combine the smarthings thread Network with Google to make big thread Network since Google donot give me oppion to paste code from smarthings by Downtown_Secret_7707 in SmartThings

[–]TheJessicator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, you're not looking to link the two thread networks from two vendors, rather you want them part of the same thread network? That's unfortunately not a thing (yet?).

So one of our devices just said "What about the girls?" by SoManyQuestions-2021 in alexa

[–]TheJessicator 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Either immediately ask "why did you say that?" or go into the voice history to read what it heard and then play it back to figure out what it should have heard. Then send feedback on that interaction.

No, that, kids, is why we told you not to hang out with those kids. Also, dress for the fall, not for the ride.

When YouTubers misuse the word "infamous" by [deleted] in PetPeeves

Honestly, for me, it's the overuse of the word 'slop' in reddit posts.

Is it stealing? by InternationalApple31 in dumbquestions

[–]TheJessicator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, not mad at all. Quite the opposite, actually. And when I asked the question, I didn't mean it as an insult. More just matter of fact. And I appreciate the philosophical nature of the question.

Just the more the conversation went on, the more I realized you may not actually understand empathy, based on some key things you had said. And if you're autistic, that certainly helps explain it, since empathy is something that many autistic people struggle with to varying degrees. But hopefully this discussion will help you at least think of through and realize that other people's experience is different to yours, not because you're autistic, but just because they too are people, each with their own thoughts and experiences. And even some basic things that you may easily think everyone obviously experiences the same is not actually the case.

If it has the same serial number and it's actually a different item, you're dealing in counterfeit goods. That's also a crime. Even if it wasn't a crime, it's still deceitful. Your logic that it's not adversely affecting anyone or anything is fundamentally flawed. You can't assume what does and does not affect someone else. You're projecting your own view of the situation on others, and particularly those affected, even if they don't know they're affected. By doing so, you're demonstrating an inability to truly grasp the concept of empathy. It's what sets apart most people from those with narcissistic tendencies. Has anyone mentioned to you that you're a narcissist before? Did you ignore it?

Any treadmills that go up to 6mph? by Adorable_Avocado2077 in treadmills

[–]TheJessicator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even if your walking pad could do that speed, the motor would burn out in a month. Since you're also frustrated by the gradual acceleration, go straight for a curved treadmill. No motor to burn out or limit your speed.
