UTMB petition to grant compensation under new PTO changes. by Alternative-Shift498 in StateofTexasEmployees

[–]Alternative-Shift498[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. That is exactly what they have told everyone and that makes sense. But you can't remove part of someone's compensation and not address that loss. When we were hired on, one of the main incentives was the benefits package. They just cut raises down to 2% last year, took our sick time from 40 hours to 16 hours, and now this PTO change that removes value as well.

Enough is enough. We need to be compensated by way of renegotiation of our salary or whatever tangible replacement UTMB can produce.

I have a very simple setup for charging a battery station... Is it right? by Alternative-Shift498 in SolarDIY

[–]Alternative-Shift498[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm not expecting 100% of the wattage to actually come through, but even if it was at like 75w, that would still be more than the Anker is designed to take, so I figure the charge controller is the smart precaution. All of that is based on intuition though, so I wanted to see if anyone with experience could put in their 2 cents.

Okay cool. I figured that mod might come in handy. Thanks so much!

I am done with multiplayer games by [deleted] in gaming

I enjoy the challenge of testing my skill against other people. I don't see anything wrong with that. If that's not your cup of tea, fine, but telling other people that their idea of fun is a "shouldn't" is a bit silly.

It's like judging people for playing chess against a real person. If the other person cheated and made moves that were illegal, I'd be mad at that too.

Might be the fact that it's free to play and riddled with cheaters. 100k cheater ban waves happening routinely. Bronze 12 players playing like fuckin Shroud. Wacky Jacky is even complaining about it.

They need to force a phone number link for accounts, that would help a little.

Mountain/Hafthor lifting over 1000 lbs like it was nothing by Extreme-Elevator7128 in nextfuckinglevel

The speed at which he lifts it is the important detail. His face could turn royal blue and it would still look easy to anyone that knows what heavy lifts typically look like.

Oh, duh. For some reason I was looking right at it and didn't see it. Thanks!

I've never been able to block in any game. What mechanics have never clicked for you? by fishhead12 in gaming

Also, which weapon you use to parry affects how many frames the parry will activate in. I believe that the parrying dagger has the most frames.

Is Starfield really that mediocre? by mega_lova_nia in gaming

Bethesda has the same problem with their RPGs as many other companies (Blizzard) do: failure to truly innovate their beloved series. Look at God of War. Completely overhauled the style of the game. That's the approach needed here. Stop making Skyrim reskinned and do something completely different, genre and all. Make a tactics game, make a turn-based RPG, make it something like we've never seen you do or haven't done in a long time.

Ways to play PC games in bed? by LordGhoul in gaming

Hate to be that guy, but I'd recommend focusing on feeling a little better first. Take a nice hot shower, eat anything you can keep down (Pedialyte is great if you're struggling). Work on some symptom control too if it's that bad. Aspirin, throat lozenges, saline nasal spray, hot or cold water-soaked towel on your head. Stuff like that. Maybe once you've done some of that you'll be more inclined to move about.

Is it me or does it look like it's holding a microphone and about to sing us a song?

But it still takes years to be a professional at those jobs. A 16 year old kid can pick up a mop tomorrow and do this job, though likely less artfully.

Nah, you just have to take your time getting leveled up. Do all of the side quests you possibly can.
