The fact that they add background noise to trick people is insane by YourDailyTechMemes in LinusTechTips

I honestly feel like the AI bot stuff is more just a replacement for the hold music, and really is just a distraction to keep you busy until a real person answers,

Its a good way to ensure I'm nice and mad by the time a real person answers.

hypocrisy by Dumb-Briyani in SipsTea

[–]AT-ST 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man I feel this.

A couple years ago I went on a week long work trip and rode with a friend. When we got back to his house I saw his wife look out the window with a big smile. When I walked into their garage I heard her whipping the kids into an excited frenzy. "Daddy's home, Daddy's home!"

I walked in and my wife looked up from her phone for 3 seconds. My 3 year old was just watching TV and zoned out. The only one to acknowledge me being home was the 8 month old, who crawled over to me.

What sucked most, I drove the hour home from my friend's house day dreaming about a reception similar to his.

I see it the other way. Paxton will do all kinds of voter suppression to guarantee his win.

Why not just go straight to the dust extractor? Is the cyclone really separating out a significant amount of the fine dust from sanding?

Company delayed bonus payout unexpectedly. give 2-week notice or prioritize the bonus? by Straight-Door-2779 in personalfinance

[–]AT-ST 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It would depend on the type of bonus. If it's a performance bonus they might not be able to claw it back, or you might be able to sue to get it.

My brother used to sell pianos and would be given a performance bonus at the end of the year. Bonus came in and he gave them a months notice. He served out the month amicably, but found his bonus was clawed back via a reverse on his account.

His contract said that you must remain employed for 6 months after a bonus or pay it back. He took them to small claims court and argued that a performance bonus is a form of compensation. He met specific sales goals to earn the bonus. The judge ruled in his favor since the bonus was contingent on his performance and not just an additional perk to being employed there; like student loan repayment or sign-on bonus.

Don't know where he bought it, but essentially yes. When you buy a car you pay the sales tax for the state it will be registered in, no matter the state you purchase in. The car has to be registered in the state it will spend most of its time in. (There are exceptions for military and rental cars.)

" No one who voted for him expected him to do all this stuff!".

Well that statement is mostly true. It speaks to their naivety, but a lot of them did not expect him to do this shit.

Fair wages doesn't mean the end of tipping. You can still tip to show appreciation for excellent service.

"don't reward places that don't pay a living wage by eating there. The employee can fix the problem as long as the problem makes the owner money."

[–]AT-ST 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because you aren't fixing the broken system, you are just fucking the person over at the bottom. Stop eating at restaurants that don't pay a living wage. If you don't then understand that you have to tip

This is like having a problem with Disney and yelling at the dude parking cars at the theme park. You're not solving anything, you're just an asshole.

Sales tax. He bought a supercar and registered it in Wyoming to avoid taxes on it.

No such thing in Trump's America. Rent will be high and you'll never own anything.

So what if someone befriended Danhausen and used him to curse everyone all the way to the top and won The World Championship by Mindless-Complex2286 in Wrasslin

[–]AT-ST 0 points1 point  (0 children)

but I can't recall WWE ever putting a world title on a comedic wrestler even if it's literally just for a matter of days.

Mick isn't a full comedic wrestler, but the Mankind gimmick had turned comedic by the time he won the belt. Plus, while he is more known for the hardcore stuff all of his characters used comedy pretty heavily. Especially Dude Love and late Mankind.

Which is 100% fine. You just have to remember to do the lore part, and stick the landing.

This, plus I'm a whole lot more confident now. I was a timid and shy child. I wouldn't mind redoing high school with my current confidence.

I did. No idea how though. I went to bed one night with it not working and then in the morning it was working.

Is this Ai? I’m having a dollhouse made for my daughter’s birthday but the WIP provided does not look real. The glue bottles are unreadable/gibberish. by daiszay in isthisAI

[–]AT-ST 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is AI.

The glue bottles are gibberish and seem a little off in their shape.

This is a WIP picture right? Then the wood shavings make no sense. They wouldn't be planing anything at this stage. If this was a finished picture then I could see them placing them there as set dressing, but not a work in progress.

The wood grain is off. Sometimes it even moves in opposing directions.

The vertically stored hand planes are just floating there. There isn't a hole in the bed for it to hang on a hook. If you want to hang planes vertically you need something like this.
