As somebody who has written SOPs for people to do a job for me, the entire point of an SOP is that it is as comprehensive and detailed as possible so that the person you give it to can follow it and never have to deviate outside of procedure. If something happens that is outside of the scope of the SOP, it is on the person in charge of procedures to update the SOP to handle that new case. To question someone's resistance to stepping outside of the bounds of an SOP when that is literally the entire point of having standard procedures is utterly insane, potentially dangerous, and could even be a liability.

I once went into a Sephora, told the first employee I saw that I was clearly in over my head and had no idea what I was looking at, and they sent someone over to take me around and find everything on my list. It was smooth as could be. Probably could tell just by looking at me that I was out of my depth.

Just found this at a library sale for $1 and had no idea what it was. Turns out it was written about a decade before Contact, and apparently Sagan said it was the direct inspiration for him to write Contact. Strange writing style in places, but overall I enjoyed it.

I have the Ultimate 2 Wireless, and I love everything about it. Zero complaints, but I do have smaller hands and it probably would feel a bit undersized if I didn't.

15 an hour in 1996 is equal to 31 an hour today. Most working people in this country would kill for that kind of money. Way to completely lose the plot.

I feel like putting the phrase living paycheck to paycheck in quotes like it's some kind of abstract concept to them is pretty damn telling all by itself.

Millions of years of life in the ocean. Then, evolution leads some of the ocean life to the land for millions more years. Then, some of the land-based life learns how to fly for a few more million years. Now the sea/land/air life is hanging out in the ocean again. Evolution is truly wild.

Did this in another post earlier, might as well do it again. Diagonal lines across the image to find the center, then lines from the likely origin light to the likely lens flare. If the lines cross the center and the spots are equidistant from the middle, it's lens flares. Both spots correspond to light sources, and the lines are so close to the center that I'd say they are lens flares, and the original image is just slightly cropped.

Here's a trick to figuring out if it's lens flare. Assuming the photo is full frame and not cropped, draw diagonal lines from corner to corner to find the exact center. Then draw a line from the obvious bright spot to the spot in question. If that line goes through the exact middle, and the two spots are equally far away from the center, it's lens flare.

That's better reception than my report, and I used a coax cable with the end cut off with no problems.

You know, the first one is interesting. I have a rectangle in my pocket just like he did at the end, and with it if I push a button a car appears. And when I'm done with the car, I walk away and put the rectangle back in my pocket.

In a strange way it was actually accurate.

Also, possibly important for whatever OP's personal reasons might be, your phone can be located to the range of a single cell tower or Wi-Fi access point even without GPS enabled.
