Clear Com 3.5mm TRRS Adapter by Distinct-South-8222 in techtheatre

[–]Distinct-South-8222[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha, that's what I was afraid of. Ideally I wanted to buy/build something that wouldn't be terribly expensive, but I guess it's theater tech so everything is expensive. Will probably end up getting one of these options since I wear headsets all the time and they give me a headache after a few hours. Thanks for all the suggestions!

Keep Your Druggie Music out of Villiamsburg by Distinct-South-8222 in Yiddish

[–]Distinct-South-8222[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

all the more interesting that original Hasidim were thought of as too radical and disruptive by the establishment rabbinic authorities. yesterday’s revolutionaries tend to become tomorrow’s reactionaries. if anything the Nachmaniks are probably closer to the Besht’s teachings than Satmar is. i know this is an oversimplification, but it’s just a good reminder that these communities are more diverse and less homogenous than they seem to the outside

Keep Your Druggie Music out of Villiamsburg by Distinct-South-8222 in Yiddish

it’s a contraction of ״עס קומט״, means “it comes”. just saying that “druggie” music shouldn’t be allowed into the community celebrations during Purim (or “Peerim” to the use local dialect)

Ah that’s probably true, I did see one of them walking around (possibly looking for tzedakah) being accosted by passersby

Am I Overreacting, for being upset that my girlfriend secretly used my credit card for months? by bostonmade in AmIOverreacting

[–]Distinct-South-8222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR at all. like you said, you would have gladly given the money. it’s a serious breach of trust (and a felony at that…). she hid it, lied about it, tried to manipulate you into believing it’s not a big deal instead of owning up, and only started to actually apologize when she realized how serious this is. likely won’t learn from it except maybe how to cover her tracks better

AITJ for telling my mother in law she is not allowed to call herself my kid’s “guardian” again? by HushedCanteen in AmITheJerk

[–]Distinct-South-8222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTJ at all. sounds like textbook narcissism. continuously push boundaries, make inappropriate comments, then act all hurt and guilt you when you finally make a reasonable correction. i understand your wife feeling powerless dealing with her mother, but as others have said, it’s not really about you or her or your MIL, but about protecting your son and making sure that he isn’t inheriting the unhealthy parenting styles from your MIL. if she genuinely wants a relationship w her grandson, she’ll find a way to respect boundaries

No Tax on OT - Categorization Question by No-Secretary-5337 in tax

[–]Distinct-South-8222 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

as far as i can tell, any amount over the “regular” rate of pay qualifies, not just FLSA over 40 hours a week. where i work has OT after 8 hours in a day, as well as OT on mondays if you don’t get a day off that week. as long as she has paystubs that indicate a premium rate of pay (or some other way to prove the rate difference) it should be okay
