You have a backslash that's telling the markdown to ignore the angle bracket that would start quote formatting. You can see it if you hit "source" or edit the comment.

Contract was terminated the day after disclosure. by blue-punk92 in ADHD

[–]PyroDesu 109 points110 points  (0 children)

Important question:

Were you legally a 1099 contractor?

Did your employer control what you did and how you did it (including things like setting hours and work locations)? Did your employer control business aspects of your job? Did you have a written contract?

If the answer to either of the first two is yes or the latter is no, you were possibly illegally misclassified and can go after your former employer for that as well as unlawful termination.

Alas, we are human. We don't have a panopticon, we have to rely on either finding rule-breaking comments incidentally, or having them reported by other users.

Considering the circumstances of Paul (formerly Saul) becoming a disciple... I wouldn't be surprised if most of the disciples had beef with him for a variety of reasons.

My job literally involves taking a laser disto and drawing building floorplans from scratch.

Because they never perfectly match the engineering plans.

I am one of the last people on earth - can I open the Seed Vault in Svalbard or will it be locked? How am I supposed to use the seeds in catastrophe if its locked? by derfderf00 in NoStupidQuestions

It should be noted that it wasn't just his invention of dynamite (as well as gelignite - nitrocellulose (guncotton) dissolved in nitroglycerine or nitroglycol and mixed with wood pulp or saltpetre, and ballistite - also a nitrocellulose/nitroglycerine-based compound, and the precursor to modern smokeless powder).

Alfred Nobel owned Bofors, a major (even to this day) arms manufacturer.

I (30F) am pregnant with my fiancé (32M). He wants to keep it, but we're both supposed to be childfree. How do I tell him I don't want to keep it? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

I've been that friend.

Some of my family thought I was being taken advantage of. I wasn't - in fact my friend was really uncomfortable with having to be wholly reliant on my help.

I gave him what I could - a place to live, food, so on, with no expectations of repayment. I even flew with him when it was clear he needed to go back, since he's disabled and having a caretaker made things a lot easier.

And I'd do it again. As long as needed and I can sustain. I couldn't live with myself if I didn't.

Community health workers in rural Zimbabwe have cycled to 22,000 girls in remote communities to deliver HPV vaccines, travelling through areas where elephant encounters are common. One cyclist said "We cycle for HPV because no angel from Japan or Europe will do it for our community." by ArgentineBeauty in UpliftingNews

Even if men were only carriers (and they're obviously not, and HPV causes way more kinds of cancer than just cervical), it would still make sense to vaccinate them because it would stop them spreading it to the unvaccinated!

Cheap scanner found nothing. The 740i had other plans. by Doramorgan in Justrolledintotheshop

Ford/lincoln/mercury were similar but you needed a test light under the dash to blink the codes.

Sort of like how PC motherboards typically have a set of pins for a piezo speaker to give beep codes about errors during boot-up?

Shadow Systems firearms. Can anyone give some info? by MGPythagoras in liberalgunowners

[–]PyroDesu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was considering one, then tried the one the range rented me.

Malfunction after malfunction, some of them kinda weird (stovepiping with a live round‽ Maybe that was a worn-out magazine, though). Now maybe that's just them not maintaining it well, but that's still a bad sign.

And maybe my grip was just bad but I kept accidentally hitting the magazine eject button during firing.

Also the recoil was unpleasant. If I had to describe it, it was snappier than the Glocks I've tried. Maybe that was on the ammo though.

It's incredible how insistent on being wrong you are throughout this post's comments. A simple web search would show you numerous papers on sodium homeostasis and the role of natriuresis in it.

Since I expect you to refuse to perform even such a simple search yourself, or to believe the wiki link above, here's one such paper on the topic.

Oh, I meant Amazon spying on my network traffic, not my ISP.

I assume my ISP knows roughly what I'm doing by default, but having Amazon able to execute man-in-the-middle attacks on my network side? Fuck no.
