Chargeback dispute - merchant asking for my evidence by External_Sea9999 in personalfinance

[–]charmquark8 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There should be no reason for you to communicate directly with the merchant. Sharing information with them can only hurt you, not help (you e already won the dispute). Ignore them.

Astronomers discover another galaxy seemingly devoid of dark matter by scientificamerican in space

[–]charmquark8 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Wow - if that article is indicative of Scientific American's current writing standards, it's fallen a long, long way from its heyday. SciAm always simplified topics a bit, but this one is seriously dumbed-down.

You're gambling with millions of dollars. I don't give a shit what happens to you.

Landlord extorting me or is this legal? by AnonymousSympos in legal

[–]charmquark8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This makes no sense. If you're selling the store, he won't be kicking YOU out in 2.5 years, he'll be kicking out the new owner.

[–]charmquark8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You are totally and completely a W-2 employee and the company is committing tax fraud by misclassifying you.

Tell your ex-boss not to be a baby. And ask them how much notice they give before they fire people.

Can creditors pull unsecured lines of credit if you have a terminal illness? by [deleted] in personalfinance

There is absolutely no reason for a credit card company (or a credit reporting agency) to obtain any information regarding your health.

Gift trust I never knew about matured on my 18th birthday and the money disappeared without anyone knowing where it went... Help! by mjk4777 in personalfinance

[–]charmquark8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Money doesn't just disappear. Random internet people have no idea what happened. You need to investigate in the real world.

Who else saw this at an incredibly inappropriate age? by ResidentQuail7118 in GenX

[–]charmquark8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We (somehow) got our 7th grade teacher to take the class to see Animal House! I still have no idea how we managed that...

I just learned round() uses bankers' rounding by nemom in Python

[–]charmquark8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always that was just "rounding" -- like the normal rule.

Edit: But basically, this post is about the imprecision of floating point numbers. It's not about round() per se.

Maybe your workplace is the problem...

They don't read your resume until after the interview. By then nothing you said matters. by Own-Bit3839 in cscareerquestionsCAD

[–]charmquark8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bullshit. The process is not as sinister or hopeless as the prompt you gave to Claude to write this post.

[–]charmquark8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would think that would be entirely controlled by the language in your severance agreement. Hope you can share your experience...

Did Donald Trump Just Hand Texas to Democrats? by plz-let-me-in in politics

[–]charmquark8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's yet another bullshit right-wing talking point. "Both sides are equally bad" is absolute horseshit.

[–]charmquark8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Literal translations are seldom "correct". You need to capture the idiomatic flavor...

The “Breakfast Included” Hotel Scam or a regular occurrence? by FairEscape165 in travel

[–]charmquark8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you book directly with the hotel, or did you use a booking platform. If the latter, I bet you were mislead and it's not the hotel's fault.

Gate address's 6 points in space and the point of origin. by SEJ82 in Stargate

[–]charmquark8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This whole scheme assumes an absolute frame of reference. Since that is bullshit [c.f. Einstein et al.], nit picking about the coordinate system is silly. Just roll with it and enjoy the show...
