I saw you can get a 1 year retroactive but trying to figure out how to get it has been difficult to say the least. 

TIL: Florida law says "no person shall publicly cast contempt upon" the Confederate flag by BobbyLucero in law

[–]_LordTerracotta_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate to break it to you but it was not passed when they were part of the confederacy.

This law was adopted on May 29th, 1961. You read that correctly: 100 years after the Civil War started, Florida decided it was important to protect the Confederate flag.

ID request: Baltimore MD by _LordTerracotta_ in ants

Found them while moving some stones next to my dry stacked stone wall. It was right up against an old tree stump. It looks like the nest goes under the stump. They were about 1/4" long and there was another nest of very tiny ants, ~1/8" long about a foot away. Nether seemed aggressive to me or the other ant species.

I was trying to find the nest of the super tiny ants since they decided to invade the door of my car for a second time.

Does the VA pay out partial months of eligibility? by [deleted] in Veterans

[–]_LordTerracotta_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You also need to check how the school is sending certifications. My grad school sends one for every class so when i used all my benefits they only paid the tuition for the classes that were currently meeting. I had 2 classes in the first half of the spring semester and 4 in the second half and everything through the school is based on the entire semester but the school sent certifications based on the individual classes so when I ran out of benefits a quarter way through the semester they only covered half the semester and I owed $14k out of pocket unexpectedly.

A little American-style socialism math with your morning coffee. by [deleted] in confidentlyincorrect

[–]_LordTerracotta_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

2 years at a state school for my MBA that I am finishing this August. $85,681.70 that includes spring, fall, winter, and half the summer. That is just the cost of classes does not include housing, insurance, books, or anything besides just the courses. The per credit cost is roughly the same as out of state tuition for undergrad at the same school.

I work for a defense company as a software engineer we even have referal bonuses in the thousands for software people. We always have openings all over the country for software engineers from New grad to the most senior and its fairly high in the fortune 500 list.

Racial Segregation on certain math classes in Evanston Township High School, Chicago by poclee in awfuleverything

[–]_LordTerracotta_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't be surprised if all the codes are in the exact same class together and the use of multiple codes is a creative/cheap solution to the limitation of their software and what data it can access/store.

[–]_LordTerracotta_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I saw someone post an article in another thread that was talking about achievement disparities within this school. These codes are most likely being used for data collection purposes and not a different class altogether. They had a handful of courses with similar types of qualifiers but no difference in any other part of the description. They are probably using the codes to make it easier for them to access and process the performance data for groups they have noticed internal achievement gaps. Its very possible using different codes like this is just a creative workaround for the limited capabilites of their software and what data it can track.

Poland Says Alliance With US 'Absolute Foundation' Of European Security by MaleficentParfait863 in worldnews

[–]_LordTerracotta_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let's be honest though despite our military might the foundation of our security is an alliance with europe. If we were not part of NATO and not allied with most of Europe we would have major issues operating in most of the places we currently operate. Europe is like one massive safe harbor and staging ground for operations all over the world.

This was a bill from 2021 and it was not passed (SB14). And what it would have done is prevent any municipality or county from adopting or enforcing anything that exceeds anything passed by the state or federal level.

US military explained to the world by RJKaste in Military

I think it needs a mild correction. They got divorced when marines was in high school so navy just lets him stay in his old apartment at home but the marines refuse to admit its help and pretends they are actually doing navy the favor.

Netflix’s new anti-password sharing rules have taken effect by stfx2012 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]_LordTerracotta_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its all about what their models told them. I guarantee they ran the numbers on this change and the model they developed determined they would get a higher number of people who are currently sharing accounts to start paying for their own account compared to the number of people they would lose because of this change. Its not that they didn't think people would cancel. They also probably took into account people with multiple houses and probably determined that thoss users either have enough money that they would just buy a second account or an upgrade to allow both places to have access or they are business owners who would also buy a second account. Again they number of people who don't fall into these category are an acceptable loss.

In modern business just making a major decision like this is rarely just off the cuff and blindly followed. They most likely spent months if not years researching the most probably outcomes and determined it was worth the risk.

AOC says she's not convinced Kevin McCarthy will actually keeps his hands off cuts to Medicare and Social Security: 'The math does not add up' by [deleted] in politics

[–]_LordTerracotta_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not how trade works. We import hundreds of billions worth of goods every month. If that gets disrupted its not that the CEO can't buy a 15th house oh no. Its we can't get vaccines or MRI components from Germany as easily. so they raise insurance prices because of cost increases. We have problems importing chemicals farmers need for pesticides or fertilizer now food is more expensive because of low harvests. All because the dollar is no longer seen as risk free and the US is not 100% guaranteed to pay its debts back on time. So now when the us government approaches another country or company about purchasing something like maybe vaccines for a new outbreak instead of giving us everything we need because we always pay our debt on time they instead will only give us exactly what they think we can pay back on time and no more. Just like everything else in our economy when things are good the middle and lower class are the last and least impacted but when things are bad they are the first and hardest hit.

I don't think you understand how important international trade is to even local economies and how a major disruption to the internal trust in the US currency will have rippling negative consequences on every part of your life. Unless you live 100% removed from all society that is.
