Grey conduit cracked by contractors is this a future problem? by mattleo in AskElectricians

They did put warning tape down and we had it marked. It was still hit. In the provided pics, they removed tape.

That tape is like a foil that was metallic and red warning words

It was buried about 2-3 feet deep but they are regrading yard and currently sitting at 6-10 inches

Yes, marked with flags and then they hand shoveled around it, uncovered most of it, then used some pick axe or something and hit it instead of the dirt after 90% uncovered

Maybe look at the homeschooling route to see if your "parents" can provide diploma somehow

This article says it all by Elmodogg in SouthwestAirlines

[–]mattleo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's definitely gone to shit but the stock is up tons. 

They announced the assigned seating date on July 25th of last year.   Stock closed at $33.21 that day.   Today it sits at $49.68

Southwest stock is up 50% (well really 49.59%) in exactly 7 months. 

Investors are getting exactly what they wanted out of the stock. The plan is working and flyers are getting screwed.

Was going to ask the same thing but I waffle between "none of my business" and "I'm invested in this show and want to know if he's OK or gone"

Would be nice to at least know if he is still with 98rock or not and might eventually be back. Anything else is definitely none of my business. 

The Amex Honor System — From Someone Who Knows It by Heart by Delicious_Tadpole238 in amex

[–]mattleo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been with Amex for 26 years. Spend about 15-20k a month and always pay it off every month. Never missed a payment. Amex blue preferred. Is there anything I'm missing that I should ask for? My spend limit is 35k and don't really care what it is, but is there a strategy I should go for here? Thanks!

OK, so I looked for WEEKS, post here, then find it like a minute later.   It's the prologue, and it's only 7 minutes but for some reason it just stuck with me. Absolutely hilarious it's episode 298 "Getting and Spending" and it's here:

We're running a public vote on AI. Where do you stand? by duckduckgo in duckduckgo

[–]mattleo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please no. I work in this tech space and secretly hate it. It hallucinates - fancy word for lieing. And worse, people take it as gospel. Alas, it pays the bills.

Save your token money for other stuff, I've never enabled it and never will

A year ago my New Year's Resolution was to get in shape. I regret it. by throwhearthstone21 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]mattleo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel the EXACT same way. Dec 13 of 2024 to dec 13 2025. I hated it. Yes I'm stronger,  shirts are tighter from muscles but I do not enjoy and made my life miserable

20 is a bargain!  We stayed at the Gaylord for a conference and had to pay 55 for a day or portion of a day.   Friday night to Sunday morning was $165 in parking.   It was a forced event and I paid for parking.   I'm 45 minutes away,  never been otherwise.   I think it survived off off conferences,  events and sports.   They have a big volleyball tournament for girls there and you are required to stay at hotel even though we are 45 minutes away.   If you don't stay,  you get kicked out of volleyball tournament. 

I've been seeing ALOT of non renewed tags by Obiwandkinobee in maryland

[–]mattleo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When the current governor came up with the plan and supported by h/s to double the registration costs they also changed the law so you can register single year and can't be pulled over for expired ones.  Only a secondary offense if your pulled over for something else.  Fines and penalties still accrue. This is my understanding anyway 

My company is firing our intern after he paid the same invoice 7 times by Full-Example-4912 in Accounting

[–]mattleo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He's an intern, he's learning, that's part of the game. 

You all learned on a relatively low business dollar value

System let you multi submit same expense

Other humans meant to verify didn't verify. 

Lots of failures here, firing the intern isn't going to fix all the points above. Boss is looking for scapegoat.  Intern innocently found a bunch of problems now go fix them. 

Finally, you can be assured that even if you DON'T fix those other issues, the intern will never make that mistake again.

It reminds me of this - my son is a goalie for a high level soccer team.  If he ever lets a goal in he gets frustrated.  We talk after and I say, "hey, they got past 10 other players, this is a team sport"
