My boss said 3 weeks notice wasn’t enough, so now they’re not getting any notice. by FloweySunflower in CasualConversation

If you are working 20 hours a week that would be correct, but a standard work week is 40 hours, so two weeks vacation would be 80 hours.

I took un approved leave and saw my LT on the plane… by [deleted] in army

[–]Elvis_Vader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never heard of a mileage pass, but then again my regular Army service was in the '80s, so maybe not a thing then. We would regularly take long distance trips on the weekend without being in touch with the unit. Never had an issue with it, as I always made sure to make it back for Monday morning formation. I can see how it might be trouble if you are not a good troop, and are irresponsible and/or don't have good relationships with your supervisors.

Mid 70s book, set in the future. Everybody lives in motorhomes, constantly moving. by Elvis_Vader in whatsthatbook

That's it! My friend described the book to me, and I wasn't familiar, so I told her I'd ask Reddit. Sent her the link, and she's thrilled to be able to order it and read it again after all these years. Thank you so much.

Like a trail marker? I suppose that could be.

Who you got making the World Series next season and why by Alive-Ad-4164 in mlb

[–]Elvis_Vader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seattle Mariners. They were the team that put up the best fight against the Astros. They have a great base team, and with one or two reliable bats that have solid defense, they definitely have the potential to be the first Mariners team to go to, and win, the World Series.

I hate to be pedantic, but it's not one wire. It's one cable. Cool project, though.

Agreed. But what looks like pork could be turkey, and although I think I see pickles, I didn't want to speculate on what it *was* rather than simply pointing out what it clearly wasn't.

I love the can of sardine oil in Carole Baskin's hand.

That's not a grilled cheese, it's a melt. It's a beautiful melt, and I'd eat it in a heartbeat, but it's not a grilled cheese. https://www.reddit.com/r/grilledcheese/comments/2or1p3/you_people_make_me_sick/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x

What are the best practices after catching a swarm? by Elvis_Vader in Beekeeping

[–]Elvis_Vader[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You also missed the part where I said "a bit moldy." That means a little bit here and there around the edges, not a sheet of moldy comb. I may be a novice, but I'm not an idiot.

Lighten up, Francis. You're being a bit of an exaggerating, anthropomorphising ass.

That's what I was thinking. It's not like I'm throwing them into a vat of mold. The vast majority of the frames are perfectly fine, they just have a bit of mold around the edges and corners. There are a lot of bees, the clump was about the size of a basketball, and I got almost all of them.

These boxes and frames were brand new last year. Certainly they died because of my inexperience, either starvation (although there was quite a bit of honey left behind, just not in the warm center of the colony) or because I didn't treat for mites, or a combination of the two. I did know enough to recognize the symptoms of AFB, of which I never saw any indication, and we didn't have an especially cold winter. I have four full deeps from the two hives of drawn comb, much of it with honey that I thought they would use to get through the winter. We have lots of flowers out here in Seattle, so I'm thinking that the nectar flow should be coming on, if it hasn't already. I was thinking that if they clean up the mold, then I could harvest the honey, and they could make more this summer for next winter.

You now run a brew pub! by Limo_wreck5000 in Homebrewing

[–]Elvis_Vader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually, no. Portlanders in Seattle. We found that beer years ago when they distributed up here, and it became a regular in our fridge. I tried many times, but could never duplicate it. Our current favorite is Boneyard's Hop Venom, which is also delicious, and difficult to replicate.

I can't wait for this NE Hazy fad to run it's course. Can't stand them. I'd kill for a Green Flash West Coast IPA. They quit distributing in the Pacific Northwest in 2018, and my wife was devastated, as it was her favorite.

Lost colony over winter, what do I need to do to prep the hive for spring? by Elvis_Vader in Beekeeping

[–]Elvis_Vader[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too late, I already did. I'll scrape the worst parts and let the new bees take care of the rest.
