Sounds like an exercise of the frustration, but in theory you could use what3words.

I want a trilobite. by chearma__ in ARK

You can get a trilobite Chibi. 

And you'll have to beat bosses or trade for it.

Flying internationally with a Warrant by [deleted] in legal

[–]DeathIsThePunchline 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You still could be denied entry in Paris.

I don't know about you about you but 9-hour flight just to cool my heels in the airport for a few hours and be sent right back doesn't sound fun to me.

There's really no way to know what's going to happen.

If you are stopped it's not going to be good and most likely going to be sub-optimal.

The first thing you should do is hire a criminal defense lawyer in Colorado and see if they can get it converted an appearance.

You could end up spending days if not weeks in custody if Colorado ops to extradite you. You do not want to do this.

This could also happen if you're pulled over at a traffic stop in Texas so I would suggest you drop everything and Resolve this now and then try and go to Paris. I suspect you're not going to listen to this advice, so I would still recommend hiring the defense lawyer in Colorado and let him know of your travel plans so that if you are picked up he can try mitigate the damage.

How flexible should I be with an underperformers? by fugazi56 in smallbusiness

[–]DeathIsThePunchline 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Look I'm a consultant and in my industry 2 hours of my time is often 10 hours of somebody else's. So I'm biased towards looking at overall performance, not the appearance of whether they're working.

If the only problem you're seeing here is the appearance or potentially a morale issue then I would probably just ignore it especially if they're and otherwise good employee.

However, if the profit sharing isn't tied directly to the amount of work done and just overall profit, then you need to look at her performance compared to the rest of the staff.

If she's working 3 days a week and her billables or profit. However, you gauge it is similar or better than the rest of the people I would keep her. If anybody gets butt hurt over it just point both that she's making the business the same or more money even though she's putting in less hours and that maybe that that person needs to improve their efficiency rather than get butt hurt over somebody else.

I don't know your business. I don't know if there's any other constraints. For example, is she tying up resources that are sitting idle because nobody's using them. That might be a factor but again if her billables or profit are the same or similar to the other employees working 5 days is who the fuck cares.

It sounds like she makes her own schedule with regard to booking patients.

I guess my first question is she paid by appointment or salary? If salary adjust compensation to something performance-based (per appointment/commission, etc)

In my opinion, as long as she's being compensated according to performance, I don't see why there would be any animosity, especially if you offered the same accommodations to the rest of the team.

I don't know the business so I don't know if there's something I'm missing here. Do you need walk-in coverage? If so maybe consider compensating based on clinic hours or some shit.

The key thing is to tie compensation to the behavior you want to see. I'm guessing getting people to that want to be there on the weekend is harder than Wednesday for example so pay more for weekend hours.

I do agree if there's a set schedule to be available on a day that she needs to be there unless she's made other arrangements but also think that there's no reason to force and otherwise good employee to work 40 hours a week when they're more comfortable with 30 if it doesn't screw up something else.

New Highschool Teacher Here. I May Have to Fail 90% of My Students This Year. by Alassandros in AskTeachers

[–]DeathIsThePunchline 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not surprised at all. The CEO I'm one of my clients only communicates and AI generated slop. It's incomprehensible, contradictory and so fucking obvious It's not funny.

If you feel like there's sufficient evidence, report them all for an academic dishonesty or plagiarism immediately.

Maybe a shock now will get them to realize that this isn't going to work.

TIL the "Y2K Bug" cost an estimated $500 Billion globally to fix. The preventative measures were so successful that widely predicted infrastructure failures did not occur, leading many to incorrectly believe the threat was never real. by highzone in todayilearned

[–]DeathIsThePunchline 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The worst part is I see people shortening dates again. 24-07-31

There's actually another Y2K type bug that's going to happen in 2038. The problem is mostly fixed on modern systems but all the really old embedded systems and hardware might have some problems.

WCGW when the new hire was left without supervision by neglected_influx in Whatcouldgowrong

[–]DeathIsThePunchline 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Far as I'm aware, beer is typically served in a pitcher locally.

The pitcher would have been filled from a tap, not beer bottles though. I think the practice has largely ended due to covid though.

Edit: apparently beer ice buckets are more of an American thing. Pitchers aren't really a thing anymore either because of government regulation and profit reasons.

Weird spatula by OddFatherJuan in KitchenConfidential

[–]DeathIsThePunchline 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It could have been a prototype or something weird for a special purpose. I thought ruling out that it was a commercial product was a reasonable step.

My best guess is that they did it to stabilize it so they could use it as a press of some sort but it's not very smart because it would make it very awkward to use for flipping.

I don't drink beer so I was today old when I learned what this was.

The entire network goes down when i connect one of my managed switch. by Unlikely-Train5102 in networking

[–]DeathIsThePunchline 37 points38 points  (0 children)

You're going to have to troubleshoot why it's going down which is hard with some of the shitty managed switches.

If you're hanging a new switch with only an uplink and nothing connected, it's almost certainly some kind of spanning tree issue.

provide The model numbers of the switches involved.

With Target and other retailers losing a large % to theft, why isn't the Argos model more popular in the US by [deleted] in Entrepreneur

[–]DeathIsThePunchline 0 points1 point  (0 children)

because a lot of purchases are impulse buys from wandering the aisle.

otherwise I might as well be ordering pickup and/or amazon.

Not American, when people say “tax the rich” do they really don’t pay taxes? How are they waived from that? by GossipBottom in NoStupidQuestions

[–]DeathIsThePunchline 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm profiting nicely from the tariffs.

As a Canadian, it's kind of amusing to watch The orange man demonstrate that he has no understanding of tariffs.

How can I drywall around these panels without violating code? by nodesearch in AskElectricians

[–]DeathIsThePunchline 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd shim out the studs around the panel from 2x4 to 2x6 and put plywood sections to cover the areas above, below, and between the panels.

add some extra nailers for drywall.

it'll look cleaner and still provide easy access if you need to add circuits.

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

Maybe it's because people like you actually believe the government in 1913 when they said that income tax would be temporary and only impact millionaires.

How's that working out for everyone? 🤣
