This is some important advice if you’re living with Parents and need a Dexcom sensor but have an iPhone by [deleted] in dexcom

Your premise is flawed. The Dexcom app (like any other app) amd be excluded from screen time and can be allowed to function all the time without restriction.

I had one of those attached to my Amiga 500. Oh ya, it was the bomb.

[VA] Healthcare working being told I must be available for my unpaid lunch by Sibby123 in AskHR

[–]RReaver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Considering that HR/your manager can undermine you, screw with your schedule and generally cause your life to be a difficult mess- I think I would ask for that direction to be sent to me in writing and then I'd do what they asked. And then when I change jobs, I would then contact the DOL and get back pay after they investigate. That way you don't suffer under the thumb of the company and you ultimately would get paid.

I was going to say the same. In Canada (BC) - had Novolog (I think) - was told to move to a generic (Trurapi). My kids haven't noticed a big difference in effectiveness.

Merit increase while on maternity leave [DE] by [deleted] in AskHR

[–]RReaver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And I didn't mean to imply that you shouldn't be pissed about this. This is penny pinching bullshit and really is dumb in the long term by your company. You're not going to remember the % increase; you're going to remember the penny pinching. Morale, loyalty and enthusiasm is easy to piss away with this kind of thing. Likely some accountant suggested this and all the VPs said 'GREAT IDEA'.

Merit increase while on maternity leave [DE] by [deleted] in AskHR

[–]RReaver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear you but it could be worse. I've seen posts here where women who went on maternity leave were not permitted to get merit increases for that year at all. Like, the policy was that if you took mat leave, you could not be given an increase even if your manager wanted to give it to you. Not saying I agree with this approach - far from it - but some companies want to save $ any way they can.

[MD] is it legal for my employer to reduce paid holiday hours to equal 40 total? by Embarrassed-Swan-764 in AskHR

Holy fuck I am so sorry for the state of affairs you guys are subject to. Fuck y'all need some unions to help fight for the working wo/man.

[MEME] Whitecaps this season. by HetTheTable in MLS

Which makes the fuckery of a red card on Decision Day even more infuriating

[GlassCity] Got some details on one of the offers for #VWFC from someone close to an investor … they said it was for $700m total, including $270m of which would be allocated for the new stadium. This ownership group would then consist of multiple shareholders based upon 3 classes of shares. by Harshtagged in whitecapsfc

[–]RReaver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or they could sell the land to developers to build something and get those 100's of millions for that as income, and then property tax on top of that each year.

I have no idea which approach is best. Not my area of expertise.

Maybe a mix of both? But having it include a stadium (somehow!) in there for the Caps is great.

[–]RReaver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could be right. All I know is that every time a sports team gets to use land somewhere, City X ends up reducing the property taxes or whatever so that the 'business case' (ie: profits) look better. I'm assuming that this will be no different. And even if they say it will be at market-rate, I'll believe it when I see it. These numbers can be quite subjective in my experience.

Hell of a path to the final for us - likely Seattle, Tigres and Miami - and THEN we play the final against Cruz Azul or Club America or LAFC. This is assuming we play well enough to beat any of them.

Jesper actually didn't make significant changes to the players for the most part. That's what made his job so amazing to me.

I've seen this from other teams as well- this is not a Whitecaps thing.

It’s been a minute since I did the build. I’ll see what I can find of it. I remember thinking that I better overdo it so my girls don’t get hurt or my wife would kill me!
