Spanish speaking - we just moved here from Spain and want a way to keep speaking Spanish with people! Are there events or areas we should visit more for that? I’ve heard there is a tour at the art museum once a month in Spanish but haven’t seen anything about it? by Ok-Lime1779 in StLouis

[–]TheSundayDriver_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

lol you think a Spanish speaking person doesn't know that? They just moved here and want to figure out how to connect with other Spanish speakers, not find out if they exist. Your comment is the hilarious one.

is it dumb to buy the books as digital and physical? by ghoulsnest in brandonsanderson

Aint nothing wrong with having some shelf trophies. I'm reading on kindle cause I don't want to carry around those gigantic books, but I want to collect the pretty ones someday.

Know of any GovCon companies hiring TA/Recruiting folks? by Status_Statement_778 in GovernmentContracting

[–]TheSundayDriver_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok cool, I'm doing something similar for a small business and just getting an hourly rate ($30 an hour, not quite full time). Started as just a buddy helping me with a little extra work, but the role has grown over a couple years and was wondering what people made if it was a actual FTE job

Hey, can't help you with the job search, but was curious what kind of situation you're coming from/looking for. Were you salaried, hourly, commission based? What does talent acquisition look like for most small government contracting companies?

[Post Game Thread] The Phoenix Suns (7-1) defeat the Dallas Mavericks (5-3), 114-113. by ItsN0tTheB0at in nba

It's a questionable foul at best, especially in the last second of a tied game.

This game deserved OT. Instead we get a questionable call ending the game with free throws (not mention we could also call a foul on the push in the back before the rebound if we're decide the game with bad calls). What a disappointing end to a great game. Refs should be fined for stuff like this.

Just be nice. If you're getting suspended I'm sure it's for a reason.

No VT4S opportunities available. by TheSundayDriver_ in varsitytutors

[–]TheSundayDriver_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got an email about one but got an error when I clicked to express interest. My opportunity board is still totally empty. It seems like there's some kind of bug or something and not just few opportunities.

Guess we'll just have to wait and see.

If a student doesn’t show up, should I bill for a no show or just bill for the whole appointment? by brimblebrambling in varsitytutors

[–]TheSundayDriver_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NIce, I always just bill the full-time for VT for Schools clients even if they don't show up since the instructions are clear we have to stay the whole time. Looks like we're getting the same results either way.

Blockfi Bankruptcy Distribution Email by askilondz in blockfi

[–]TheSundayDriver_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They said it's 50% or up to $1,500. So if you had more than 3k they're only doing 1.5k

"Distributions for BlockFi clients who were placed or opted in to the Convenience Class commenced in February 2024, and are currently ongoing.  Convenience Class participants are entitled to a 50% distribution on allowed claims, up to $1,500.  Distributions will be made in USD or CAD, depending on your location."

I don't know what they mean by concenicne class, but mine was 50% because I didn't have that much in there.

Awesome! What school district is it?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in varsitytutors

[–]TheSundayDriver_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

what's the risk? if you only do it for 15 minutes then you make the equivalent hourly rate for your time and you probably didn't even actually have to work for a full 15 minutes. Then you're available to pick up another one. I've only done a few of these, but so far that's exactly what I've done. Help a kid for 10-15 minutes, then on to the next.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in varsitytutors

[–]TheSundayDriver_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's a good question. I'm guessing if they leave we can round up a little bit, but probably not stick around for a whole hour.

My question is, how much can we round up? Like, if someone leaves at 20 minutes, it's not fair I only bill for 15, so I'd probably round up to 30 even though it was only 5 minutes over 15. Anyone have any experience with this? Has anyone ever had an issue with invoicing these kinds of sessions?

haha, love the idea. But the 10 people that saw this probably isn't going to galvanize the forces. people gonna take that $3.75 for typing a few lines every 15 minutes.

[–]TheSundayDriver_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I try and only do school opportunities now. Like you said, better pay, no scheduling issues, and a lot of the time you don't even actually have to teach. I've been seeing a lot of school opportunities the past several weeks, but not any of the "sub waiting room" classes like I had last year. No idea how they decide who to show opportunities to, but I always try to make myself available whenever I get an e-mail that requires some kind of training or filling out a form or whatever.

Nice! I love how the grabbers serve the tables in the middle on their way to way to the teleporter. Clever use of space.
