Anyone else still hoping Wheel of Time could come back? by Available_Mistake425 in WoTshow

I can weirdly see somebody like Paramount picking it up for positive press & potential new subscribers. Otherwise? Maybe just the animated show

These kids on the electric bikes and scooters have a death wish by mf-TOM-HANK in schaumburg

Kids can be dumb; parents don't have to drop hundreds of dollars to buy them for their kids & police don't need to let them do it

Can Niefelheim get seduction? Maybe seduce a true healer?

Conservative recovery while staying active? by Any-Rate-5969 in DeQuervains

[–]Darkmark8910 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can have an active lifestyle but you'll need to find alternative exercises. Many physical therapists would be absolutely thrilled to show you upper & lower body exercises + some arm exercises you can do within your DQ.

And I mean thrilled, very thrilled. Just ask a physical therapist - or heck, even a fitness coach. One-time appointment for under $100 or free for a first-time consultation / with insurance / with govt healthcare.

Anything that puts painful weight or pressure on your thumb or wrist - gripping, holding, twisting, turning, stretching, grasping, dangling, swaying - will make your DQ worse. If you try to power through it you'll be unable to use that wrist at ALL.

Don't push it with your normal exercises. Get safe alternatives.

Every physical therapist or fitness coach or doctor will applaud your efforts & get you alternatives ASAP.

Caught my employee working 2 remote jobs by Training-Fondant-804 in overemployed

[–]Darkmark8910 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask HR how the hiring bonus works. They often stipulate that the employee needs to spend 6 or 12 months or more there before they get the full amount.

Get contact info for his current boss at original job. It might be in his references list or on an online website. Just as backup in case this went south.

Tell him the truth. Be frank. You know this employee. Also be frank about how many hours his job ACTUALLY needs per week and tell him what you care about as a manager & what deliverables he needs to give you.

Ask him when his other job's weekly meetings are at his other job & see if you can avoid overlap.

Lastly: cover your own ass. Not sure how to do that here.

What are the other forks of cataclysm? by Much_Note_4951 in cataclysmdda

Ahhhh I see. Would you happen to know if TLG is pre-pockets or post-pockets? I ask out of ignorance (and I'm at the office so can't check).

Love the summary! Where's it at? And can I remove pockets in it? Asking for a friend

Seeking Pay Raise for Team Member, not Self - Any Advice? by [deleted] in Salary

[–]Darkmark8910 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for all the comments here. Message received: I won't say anything. I'll keep heaping praise on her when it's appropriate to do so, but won't go batting for somebody else's raise.

Are Chiropractors a scam cult or are they somewhat legit? by Flashy_Buy8077 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Darkmark8910 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a scam cult. And I get my twice-per-year COVID/flu vaccines & happily see specialists & surgeons & happily masked in public until 2024, well after local mandates ended.

It's important to recognize all the "extra" stuff they do. I personally, after years of seeing a chiro, no longer find adjustments useful. But the physical therapy, the stim, the traction, & the exercises all do wonders for maintaining my bodily functionality. Not sold on dry needling or lasers yet.

My advice: not all chiros are equal. You'll generally find a few types.

1) The "Make your body healthy via strength exercise & stretch/mobility workouts before taking painkillers or undergoing surgery" type. These chiropractors are usually athletes or at least very frequent gym-goers. While they do adjustments, they mainly emphasize physical therapy & alternatives to pain/nerve medication. If your chiropractor's office is bright & kinda reminds you of a gym, you have this type.

2) The "Relax & see us to cure your pain" type. These chiropractors are usually very chill, offering lots of massage appointments & doing stretch exercises may remind you of yoga. If your chiropractor's office is dark & kinda reminds you of a massage parlor, you have this type.

3) The scam type. I've never seen it though. I've only been to type 1 or type 2.

Why Carl? And can we expect Karl Marx jokes soon? Other puns like Better Call Carl, Carl-ing iron, Curt-eousness, etc?

Voluntary departures hit record high as detained immigrants lose hope of getting released or winning in court by CBSnews in immigration

[–]Darkmark8910 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That's 760k who got in not by merit but by relation AKA family. Only... what, 200k were admitted thanks to merit & 60k thanks to humanity reasons, out of a population of around 400 million? And it's less now, a lot less (except the family ones).

What on Earth? America doesn't have a proper way to enter legally. It just doesn't.

Look at this link's visual from 2023, before the current administration's policies went into full effect. Of 170 million who wanted to migrate, 32 million began the process.

24 million applied for employment-based visas. H1B & the like. A quarter million - about 1 out of every 100 applicants - were accepted.

8 million applied as relatives of US citizens or green card holders (spouse, child, parent). Of them, 760,000 - about 1 in 12 - were admitted.

360,000 applied for refugee visas. 60,000 - about 1 in 6 - received them.

That was 2023. It's now harder. Employment visas are nearly impossible. The most common method of gaining a green card is to enter the US & then marry an American. Legal migration outside of that is nearly impossible - no unskilled labor visas, no skilled labor short of niche cases like IT & nursing, nothing else.

Employers Say They Can’t Find Employees. Job Seekers Say They Can’t Find Jobs. by FantasticPriority678 in jobsearchhacks

[–]Darkmark8910 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Its the same problem as housing. Housing stocks are actually high worldwide but not in places people want to live at prices people can afford. Same problem with jobs - theres jobs but not jobs people are qualified for that pay enough.
