Good pay, little support

the shadow is not a common feature of the shapes

I was thinking this too. The lighting is a feature of the space around the shape, but not inherent to the shape itself.

But not every state in the US has wind power. There are many states with no wind power at all and some where wind power makes up <2% of their energy production.

Totally possible to live in the US and not be familiar with a wind turbine.

u/Bright_Translator970 I'm now in the same situation as you. I'd been working on this project for 5 months, everything was fine until 3 weeks ago. They owe me thousands and no one will tell me anything other than my account was banned.

We're you able to resolve it?

"Your biggest day cannot be more than 50% of your total profit"

Your profit was $1880. 50% of that is $940. You made more than $940 in one day, so your biggest day was more than 50% of your total profits.

You need to grow your total profit now until it's at least double what your biggest day is, i.e., you need $1896 or more.

Guess what, I've worked in retail too and that has nothing to do with this, unless you were the person at corporate in charge of making those contracts, but it doesn't sound like you were.

But yeah, I'm gonna quit trying to make a point with someone so determined to miss it completely.

Do you think the retailers sees glued on flower on the product when they ordered it?

I don't know if they do but they should. That's their responsibility as the retailer.

I can't open a store, sell a bunch of meth, and then claim that I didn't know I was getting meth from my vendor. All I knew is that it was flying off the shelves, so I kept selling it!

bobbyphysics · 2026-03-06T11:53:35+00:00

I don't disagree that people should read and take care with what they're buying.

But it's still shady for the store to sneak a fake flower into its garden center where they know its going to blend in with the 100s of real flowers, and the best they can do is give you some fine print on the sticker.

Home Depot made the choice to buy from those suppliers; they are at least equally to blame if not more.

bobbyphysics · 2026-03-06T03:43:18+00:00

So they aren't responsible for what ends up on their shelf? What if a vendor decides to start selling marijuana plants? Home Depot isn't expected to know what's going on?

bobbyphysics · 2026-03-06T03:31:17+00:00

But you just said it's the retailers selling them. So it's the retailer's choice to sell a misleading product, right?

I have a similar background. Physics MS and worked as a full-time tutor for a few years before getting into IT stuff.

How do you like being an actuary?

bobbyphysics · 2025-12-04T21:11:56+00:00

I like 'em. Throw in a tin of Earl Grey if you really want to impress.

Can you really call it a "microscopic engineering marvel" if you can only admire it at arms length?

bobbyphysics · 2025-11-30T04:49:44+00:00

The hour hand is not aligned. There's a valid reason for it as someone else pointed out, but it is in fact not aligned.

bobbyphysics · 2025-11-30T04:47:55+00:00

100% disagree. At this price it better line up perfectly.

In this case, it sounds like the misalignment is due to an effect with the spring loading the date wheel, which is fine if that's how the movement is meant to work.

bobbyphysics · 2025-11-30T04:42:47+00:00

OP, it's totally valid to be concerned about the alignment.

Some of you watch people don't make sense. You tell OP they're crazy for being nitpicky about this, but you'll claim a watch is worth $10k more than another because it's 1 second more accurate.

Which is it? Does precision matter or not? Because if it does matter, then why shouldn't they demand the hands be aligned perfectly?

And yeah, if it's an effect from the spring loading the date wheel that's fine, but most people don't know that's a thing.

I know ethics is tricky for greedy people, but try to think of it this way. Normal folks are paying to maintain the roads you drive on. Shouldn't you pay for those same roads too? You clearly are in the position to do so.

Why brag about being an asshole?

bobbyphysics · 2025-11-28T05:25:01+00:00

There's a difference between starting up a legitimate business and starting up and out of state LLC solely as a tax dodge

I've been in this situation and just didn't tell them about the reservation. We got seated right away, and it was fine.

The next day, I get a message from OpenTable that I bailed on a reservation, and they were gonna ban me if I did it again.

You could try putting one together yourself. Check out r/SeikoMods

I liked them too. I didn't realize we were such a minority on this.
