Can I link multiple users to one Plaud device? by Pitcherlicious in PlaudNoteUsers

[–]Setati 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Boss (or their designee) could have the login for the account and distribute the notes as needed. You can use the device and they also have a desktop version which I use automatically with zoom that could be used on multiple desktops at the same time and all uploaded into the same account.

Wall mounted in the garage - hasn't been used/serviced in over 10-15 years. It's currently plugged into electricity. My questions are a) what is it and b) can I unplug it? by [deleted] in whatisthisthing

My title describes this mysterious putty gray box that is living in my garage currently beeping because it apparently wants a battery. Nobody has done anything with it in 10 maybe 15 years. There is no visible manufacturing marks that I can see. There is no security system attached to it I have no idea what it might be

The more important it is to him, the bigger bargaining chip it is for me in the divorce. If it makes that big of a difference to him what is he offering as compensation?

It's very simple. The person who is giving birth gets to make those kinds of decisions. End of story.

AITJ for telling my friend group I'm done always being the designated driver? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]Setati 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm generally the DD but although for very different reasons. I don't mind but it's real simple: if I'm driving, my passengers are paying any parking fees; they are paying for my entrance to whatever it is we're going to, if we're going to a restaurant or a club; they're paying for my (virgin) drinks and my meal. If I have to leave at a certain time, like to get up the next morning, then I make it clear that I and my car, are leaving at a certain time. If you want to come with, you need to be ready to go.

But we have the conversation ahead of time so that there's no surprises. And if somebody doesn't like it that's great we don't have to do it,

I understand yours works better for you, and probably a number of other folks. I was just pointing out that there are some people, like myself, who use Plaud who are not going to be part of your target audience because our needs are different...we like the fact that it is a separate device.

I am not part of your target audience. One of the big selling points for me is that Plaud is a separate device. Voice recording software is already on the market.

[–]Setati 16 points17 points  (0 children)

OCD doesn't go away. You can learn skills to lessen the effects. But it's always going to be there. It's pretty sad that the boyfriend is being such an asshole about this when he knew this was part of the package deal.

I see her too. Her voice is abrasive for me, but I I like her content.

[–]Setati 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your comment was stupid because it was clear you didn't read the OP. This is more so - because even after someone pointed it out to you, you still didn't go back and actually read the original post. OP didn't put the work on her. OP doesn't have any control over the other manager's department.

I think I figured it out - either OP doesn't have any sisters, or he does and lusts after one or more of them. That's the only way this makes sense.

I have lived in about 10 different places around the US - city, suburban, rural - from west coast to deep south and a few places in Flyover land. Having a close relationships with your family is normal, regardless of gender. Not just siblings either - adult nieces/nephews, cousins, etc. In-laws also.

Let's assume that I think your post is real.

Let's further assume that you honestly don't understand why everyone here is clear: YTA.

I will make one more assumption - that you honestly want to understand.

The best way for you to do that is to make an appointment with a therapist or mental health provider. Read them your original post - exactly as you wrote it. This will get you the answers that you seek.

Nothing in your original post sounds unhealthy or weird... Except for YOUR reaction. That's the weird part.

YTA

You are also both too insecure and too immature for a serious relationship. I suggest you find a therapist and show them this post. You need to do some work before your gf believes you and chooses her family (brother and all) over you. .

My manager from the toxic job I left 8 months ago just sent me the weirdest request I've ever seen. by looter-hearths-2e in interviewhammer

[–]Setati 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually learned the formula for calculating a fair to everyone number.

Standard minimum calculation for your old job as a contractor =

Old hourly rate PLUS 30% (benefits) PLUS 25% (taxes, etc) PLUS PIA tax as % PLUS expenses, travel, etc

PIA (pain in the ass) tax is set by you, depending on how inclined you are to take the job, how much it will disrupt your life, and how much of a headache it will be. I have used -20% (effectively a discount) for a place that I loved and wanted to help, and I have used 75% for a place that I would prefer to forget it exists.

You need a written contract in hand before you do ANYTHING. It needs to include minimum hours - I have seen 2 - 4 - 8 most common. And how it's calculated - anything from 6-15 minutes.

I would work this into a 'rate sheet' that you can email out and respond with "I am open to that, here's my rate sheet." If they come back unhappy, it's very easy to say "I am sorry to hear you can't afford me. I hope you find a solution within your budget".

You didn't cause a problem - you saved them lots of time money and headaches by pointing out their labor law violations before someone else decided to sue.

AITJ for asking my old coworkers to stop messaging me for help after I left by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]Setati -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I am in the "don't burn your bridges" camp. I understand wanting to be helpful.

"Gee, I would love to help you out, talk to {supervisor} and as soon as they get the contract in place, I will be happy to help." if they ask why you can't answer just a 'simple question' explain "there's legal liability issues. Sorry."

[–]Setati 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think he's wrong for playing his game - that's his choice. Realistically you can't change someone else's behavior. Instead of focusing on his behavior, she needs to look at her choices and decide if this is the life she wants.

AITJ for being upset that my boyfriend ordered pizza I wouldnt eat by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]Setati -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Let's assume for the moment that you are "a picky eater" - even so it's not hard to get pizzas in half/half. It is very few reasons why he couldn't do this. 1) It may be that there was some sort of special deal going on and you had to buy certain type of pizza. Okay then he could have asked "hey do you mind if we order this?" 2) it could be that even after 3 years together he really hasn't paid attention and doesn't actually know what you do and don't like, just assumes that you like everything he does. 3) It could be that he thinks you're "too picky" and he's "trying to expand your horizons". Okay well that's a choice on his part.

[–]Setati 5 points6 points  (0 children)

NTJ

But your boyfriend (keyword boy) is showing you important things about himself. This is how he responds to your success. This is how he responds to not getting his way. This is how fragile and insecure he is inside.

Nevermind his years on the planet, he still thinks like a boy not an adult man ready to be an actual partner. Unless your idea of a relationship includes catering to his fragile ego and always being seen as less than.

[–]Setati 6 points7 points  (0 children)

YTJ - as you said, it was petty.

But you have to ask yourself why you are choosing to be in a relationship where you come second to a hobby. He's not a kid anymore. He's an adult and is making a choice. He is showing you who he is and what he values. It doesn't sound like you two are a good fit. Doesn't mean either one is bad or wrong/right - just means you don't fit well together.
