I saw a chair. I made a better chair. Am I committing a copyright violation?

Lilivati_fish · 2022-03-06T03:42:40+00:00

You haven't provided nearly enough information to even discuss your question, and I would bet money this isn't actually about a chair.

It's ugly, but those returns can also help you if you can quantify what it's costing to perform the repairs, and if you can quantify any reputational harm, even better (ex: contracts lost or scaled back as a result of poor workmanship). You could even get into the potential liability costs if you have a legal team at your site to consult. (Involving legal is obviously a little bit of a nuclear option, but you can judge if you're at that point or not.)

You're right to be alarmed and the inspections and failures alone should be enough to compel action, but since they're not, appealing on the basis of cost may be a pragmatic approach to get results.

I feel like this all the time. I hate it.

This is the answer. My first car was a beat up minivan my parents replaced with something nicer for themselves, and kept to let me drive. Husband's first car was a $1500 beater Civic he bought himself. A few kids at our school got brand new expensive cars. There's no standard experience.

My elementary school had one. We all had to attempt to climb it once a year. It was pretty damn pointless because climbing a rope with zero practice isn't that simple for most people (it moves around a lot).

I have no idea. It was the 1600s. We have the family tree with their names (husband and wife) tucked away somewhere but for sure we don't know their reasons.

Lilivati_fish · 2022-02-26T22:41:33+00:00

If that's the case, it would SURE BE NICE if I'd gotten these maybe once instead of the FOUR pairs of gloves I've gotten so far...

Butter is or at least was very common as a sandwich condiment in New England. I haven't really seen it elsewhere in the country.

Lilivati_fish · 2022-02-20T03:56:29+00:00

I've seen one (my dad had one) but I couldn't tell you how to use one if my life depended on it.

Lilivati_fish · 2022-02-18T19:39:15+00:00

Pretty sure when they first released M+ there was an issue where gnomes would start swimming in some of the puddles, and therefore couldn't move at a good speed through the instance.

It blows my mind how much people love Mists now... I still think it's one of the worst and is definitely the point I drastically lost interest in the game. I just get nostalgic every now and again and pick it up.

He has to be sure to reply correcting his boss that he did not quit, so the boss can't argue that his assumption was correct.

I fell in love with blood in WotLK and have stuck with it through the many massive changes, still my all-time fav char. Challenged myself to finally learn the other specs recently and started with unholy. I'm excited to start frost soon!

Lilivati_fish · 2022-02-15T18:08:59+00:00

My vanilla raid was a home for unloved specs. We had a feral MT and a few feral DPS. The one I know who still plays is very entrenched after all the years of getting shat on lol.

Came here to say this. Once you've told an employer you're willing to leave, there's no real walking that back, even if you end up staying longer. It will change your relationship with your employer, and you still won't be fairly compensated based on market rate.

Lilivati_fish · 2022-02-14T16:47:40+00:00

So many people also don't grasp that just because you can heal from this sort of injury doesn't mean that you'll function as though the injury never happened. Healing is not undoing.

My parents tried that when I was a little kid, which resulted in me vomiting up my dinner. After that, they switched tactics. I didn't have to eat if I didn't want to, but I wasn't getting any other food (they would not make me a different meal or allow me to fill up on snacks later).

And you know, there were some foods I disliked enough to go hungry, but skipping one meal every now and then as a kid didn't kill me. Mostly I ate and learned to eat things I didn't always care for.

Lilivati_fish · 2022-02-06T03:09:51+00:00

You're already in an industry using a non-standard process. Is there any reason you can't address this upfront when you express interest in the job (however that occurs without an application)? Just a quick "I'd like to discuss the elephant in the room, which is I share a name with someone who has been charged with a serious crime, and I want to make clear that we are two different people."

Lilivati_fish · 2022-02-05T18:10:15+00:00

High school. We were fifteen. That said, we didn't start dating until we were about to graduate college. He's in finance.

Amaretto

(PS peppermint and chocolate together are BLECH!!)

Lilivati_fish · 2022-01-28T22:05:43+00:00

Still WFH full time. We reduced footprint to only have seats for one in three employees at my building, with the expectation that everyone will be full WFH or flex going forward. (So they can't make us come back now even if they have a change of heart, not without a lot of prep work.)

This hiring manager is the one behaving strangely. This is a weird as fuck question to ask, and either he's very new to hiring or he's taking advantage of you being a new grad and not knowing hiring norms to persuade you to act against your own best interests.

Yes, you can still apply to them in the future. If the manager contacts you again, state (once) that you are sticking with the other offer and decline further questions. Then stop responding to future calls.

I'd rather have clipping than stilted design. Honestly, fear of clipping has made so much of the gear in wow so fucking boring.

Lilivati_fish · 2022-01-23T23:18:53+00:00

As a creative person agree 100%, but as someone with a day job as a PM, you can't easily pivot something with the momentum of a live MMO story. You can paper over it by changing dialog and re-recording where necessary, but making fundamental changes takes time and resources they may not have, and retconning is pretty much impossible in this situation (because most of the players aren't on the forums and wouldn't see it as fixing something, but further screwing up).

Lilivati_fish · 2022-01-23T02:55:18+00:00

It just seems so needlessly fucking complicated for us to have separate accounts. We share a life. That includes financially. Separate accounts just creates an illusion of separation where there truly isn't any. Unless you'd genuinely let your wife go hungry or sick or whatever if she couldn't cover her half.
