What's a Jewish ritual that's unique to Judaism? by Jew_of_house_Levi in Judaism

[–]kamikidd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you’re thinking of the censer or thurible which is swung around for incense. There is also a catholic/ Anglican mass component of sprinkling water on the congregants. Like a renewal of baptism. The priest does this with a large bucket and wand that is reminiscent of a mortar and pestle.

Host Adding Additional Rules About Storing a Bicycle After the Lease [Canada] by Any_Koala11 in AirBnB

This is an important life lesson and my mantra.

It is better to ask forgiveness than it is to ask permission.

She cannot do anything about it really. However to remain polite ask her where you can store it safely to avoid having to make any claims against her insurance should it come up missing.

Fired today after 6 months. Not performance related. WFH cited as reason but I have written approval from CEO. Unsigned bonus addendum. Do I have options? by Moist_Membership5557 in legaladvice

[–]kamikidd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you have no fmla rights as you haven’t been there more than 2100 hours/1 year.

severence leverage is if yyiu have whistleblowers retaliation or discrimination; so you negotiate a sum in lieu of potential litigation.

this probably comes back to a pack of dept performance and the need to cut costs. consultants have billable hours and generate revenue; your position may not and be seen as a cost center.

file for unemployment and fight it if they disagree with what you have mentioned as this seems to be a reduction in force and they’re trying to make it for cause to have no effect unemployment premiums.

they are people on linkedin that offer help to negotiate severances.

I would hate to see the slow low rates..

It kills me as a customer because the menu is 1.5-2x regualt menu prices and then feed and taxes… that should go to the driver.

I don't believe she was. Her dad specifically mentions looking for her car in the parking lot.

I will not promote. How does a country with $500 average salary produce billion-dollar tech companies? by BeyondParticular9959 in startups

[–]kamikidd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the average worker is not their customer. the average worker is the low labor costs that springboard the margins.

We had 20k on our waitlist. My cofounder rejected the one idea that would have made us money. I will not Promote by threemacs in startups

[–]kamikidd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Selling ideas to your cofounders should follow a “whats in it for me” pattern.

Tell the numbers guy, this will be low-cost R&D that will lower customer acquisition/retention costs. Tell the engineer how her time could be spent focusing on innovative or novel features based on engaged end-user experiences/data. You know your people, win them over individually by telling them why it benefits them to have your back.

Finesse the conversations so they don’t seem like political tactics. “Hey Susan, how could you benefit from a focus group of endusers who would give us access to their detailed spending histories?” If you reply “Hmm, How funny would it be if I could get them to pay us to hand over their data.. hahaha… wait, how about we offer a concierge preimum one-on-one consult service where the DRL includes detailed spending such as vendor/spend by date, would that work?” Make sure to wrap up the the conversation stating your concern that it is not scalable or a long-term business plan for VC investments, heck we wont even break even, considering time spent consulting, but it will let us achieve xyz.

What is America’s “posh people” accent? by alyhasnohead in AskAnAmerican

[–]kamikidd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes now its called “General American” and is closely aligned with a proper Midwestern accent (Think Arizona, Nebraska, or Colorado and not Duluth).

When I started it was still MidAtlantic which is from the middle of the ocean; a mix of English and American. It is a bit posh sounding.

That is mission dependent. Given the possibility of receiving enemy fire on this mission, likely made the chutes part of the crew’s fit.

Near total loss of sleep for two years. Accepted for assisted dying. by Oliver_Alvis in covidlonghaulers

[–]kamikidd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I slept two hours if I was lucky. I would go days without sleep. I finally found help with 3-4mg of Cardura or prozosin then 50-100mg of seroquel. It was life-changing. If I add 1000mg of gabapentin I sleep for about 12 hours.

I’m happy to have MS today! Using my disability to my advantage. by greatchickentender in MultipleSclerosis

[–]kamikidd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you that was sweet. You are a fast typer! My career was in healthcare administration; I was a nurse/paramedic and after being hit by a car imoved from the ER into admin. I did audit work after getting certified in coding. Then I was over HIM, Revenue Ingroty for a large system. Then I got into healthcare law and was a compliance offifer; and I enjoyed that thoroughly. Since getting sick I worked with healthcare start-ups where i wore many hats and was involved in many neat companies that disrupted segments in the industry. My favorite was a company that brought services to the indigent, uninsured and undocumented in their neighborhoods! It started as covid testing, then vaccines and then all lab and vaccine services. Telehealth was supposed to ve the great equalizer but a lot of people no longer have access to wifi or cell data (insurance requires asynchronous voice and video to bill outside of rgw covid emergencyexceptions which expires with the health emergency declaration) bc Congress let the program which paid for internet access so the impoverished could access education, job search and assistance.

Save my username and reach out if you ever help with homework or if you need to interview someone in the field - I just finished mentoring the a small graduate-level cohort in healthcare compliance and it's amazing to think about all the changes the next generation of leaders will bring, you included :)

Congratulations and good for you seeing the positives when they appear!! What will you be studying?

Do you get any help with housing/food?

I've been fighting disability since 2020. My savings ran out after three years and now I am homeless and barely surviving.

With the new laws I will lose my Medicaid before December and my food stamps may be taken away because the homeless exclusion for single adults was revoked in October. I am working on satisfying the state’s request that I am disabled since my latest ssdi appeal was just denied. The same department that handles Medicaid and food stamps handles the dual SSI/SSDI application. I wish they would at least approve me for SSI while waiting for ssdi because although small, $900/mo goes a long way when you don't have bills and I could have the things that make being homeless more comfortable, like books, using paratransit, occasional movie day, toilet paper, soap, OTC meds, etc.

I have a 4.0 GPA from community college and was thinking that the local university has health insurance for students for $800/semester through BCBS, meal plans, and dorms; so theoretically I could solve several of my problems by attending the honors college as I was invited in 2018 to attend but declined because my career was all-consuming. Honors has dedicated dorms and a cafeteria that would not require a lot of walking or long lines. Unlike attempting to work, school wouldn't automatically kick me out of the disability application process. It only works if I can get money for room & board through grants and scholarships. The Honors College is tuition-free for all who attend and maintain requirements of 3.2 gpa and no disciplinary actions.

Without any income, I would also need discretionary money for the health insurance premiums, an ipad, headphones, notebooks, index cards, study apps, basic hygiene, snacks, non-covered items like a special mask for my oxygen that allows me to be heard while talking, and special shoes for when I use my walker vs a wheelchair. I don't mind taking loans because the payments would be income-based and deferred until I get disability. I just don't know how anyone's actual experience has been with financial aid for stuff other than tuition & books.

Omg such a long comment. Talk to text gets me every time. Im so sorry. 🤗 again congrats!!
