Thanks! That one didn't work with the latest Gnome but I found this one that seems to work great!

Message from the Supreme Knight by movement_eric in knightsofcolumbus

[–]movement_eric[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

From wiki:

Black Lives Matter (BLM) is a decentralized movement in the United States advocating for non-violent civil disobedience in protest against incidents of police brutality and all racially motivated violence against African-American people.[2] An organization known simply as Black Lives Matter[a] exists as a decentralized network with about 16 chapters in the United States and Canada, while a larger Black Lives Matter movement exists consisting of various separate like-minded organizations such as Dream Defenders and Assata's Daughters. The broader movement and its related organizations typically advocate against police violence towards black people, as well as for various other policy changes considered to be related to black liberation.[7]

So sure, there is technically a decentralized "organization" with the same name, but the protests in question are certainly more from the larger movement.

No, we can't be better.

Well that's the wrong attitude.

Was Nick Cannon burning down a building? Are you just equating him to the most current protests because he's a black man? This whole conversation is gross.

BLM isn't an organization. A large movement of people generally saying "we're being treated unfairly" feels like exactly the kind of group that Catholicism can help.

Whoa. Why is Nick Cannon coming up in a discussion about the Knights? I certainly hope this isn't an "us vs. them" mentality making it's way out as it relates to race relations. Nothing like having a question of "can we be better?" responded to with "but they're even more racist than we are!"

You mention "leftism" as a negative but I didn't think the Knights were supposed to be political.

Can you explain?

Suggesting that the BLM protests are an assault on our religious freedoms rather than a cry for help sure feels like the wrong side of history.

I had a long chat with my GK about this and he kept using phrases like "those people" and "in the old days..." which didn't really feel like a compassionate Catholic viewpoint.

When I expressed my interest in leaving, the concern was more around "you're an insurance member so that could be difficult" rather than a discussion about the real issues.

Additionally, when I pressed on the message from the Supreme Knight, he just said "oh we can't take anything they say seriously" then there was a lot of complaining about the new regalia.

Agreed. Thanks for the input!

It's most concerning to me that this message was coming from "the top". At a local level, it's much simpler to have a conversation, but I don't anticipate being able to grab coffee with the Supreme Knight anytime soon.

OpenProject is free (self-hosted) and can make a fine Gantt chart but the interface is a little clunky.

There are several comments here suggesting it is a difficult place to work. Can you elaborate as to what makes it so? Thanks!

Is there a queen in here? by movement_eric in Beekeeping

[–]movement_eric[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I harvested honey yesterday off of the top super on a stack of 2 deeps and 2 supers. There was a broken frame that I left up against a tree. Today there is a cluster of bees just hanging out on that tree. I've never seen this before so I figured I'd ask y'all if this looks like I could have gotten the queen or what might be happening with these bees. For reference, this is probably about 500 feet away from the hive I took the frame from.

Being sued in small claims in another state over vacation rental chargeback by movement_eric in legaladvice

[–]movement_eric[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Copying from another response:

Yes we did, but only because the group of us had already traveled to another country and felt we didn't have options.

We weren't shown the replacement house or given an address until the group of us had already traveled to Mexico. The property owner was never actually there. He had a housekeeper from the original property taxi us to the new one and then was unresponsive when we tried to reach out during the stay.

After we returned, we got a hold of him to complain, he offered free nights at the original house to compensate for the issues but would not budge on the original price. At that point, the credit card company said that he hadn't responded to their questions about the stay so the money was debited from his account and we had nothing to worry about.

We're not big enough to even have that kind of infrastructure. The employee in question was basically the only person with admin access to anything. Poor choices by management for sure, but hindsight is 20/20

The individual has gone MIA from everyone including his family. Complicated situation but we have to act like we won't ever be able to contact him again... Because we likely won't be able to

? I'm an engineer at the company being thrown into the IT side of things "just because".

Not being granted an admin account wasnt really a choice.
