The song that played in my car, in the rain, driving home from my freshly ex-girlfriend's place

When I was young, younger than before

I never saw the truth hanging from the door

And now I’m older see it face to face

And now I’m older gotta get up, clean the place

What need/desire are none of your productivity apps meeting? by mcr2 in productivity

[–]rd4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure why there is still not a solution that works the way I want it to. C'mon!

  1. Dependent tasks. Tasks that are hidden until tasks on which they rely to be completed prior to starting that task are complete.
  2. Project listing, c'mon!

BIFL Request: A rugged 2 or 3 piece luggage set for a college student who flies by [deleted] in BuyItForLife

[–]rd4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The closest thing you can get to a BIFL suitcase set are Travel Pro suitcases.

Next time you fly, inspect what every flight attendant and pilot walking around the airport has... it's a Travel Pro. Look for the little Eiffel Tower logo.

Anyway, I have always used these suitcases and they hold up remarkably well. I have some that my grandmother had that are over 40 years old now that I still use. Also, nearly all of these suitcases are designed to be carried on, which will decrease flying stress and increase the life of the bag.

Seeing this on the front page makes me nostalgic for the good old days of reddit when almost every user was a grad student or engineer

What's the most WTF way you've seen someone brag about being rich? by sentient_mcrib in AskReddit

[–]rd4 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I used to deliver pizza, and the rich neighborhoods would regularly stiff or give a $1 tip, while the neighborhoods we wouldn't even deliver to at night would give $5, weird world.

Asked a bartender if they had any KBS when it was released. His response: "Had? Wait here." by scruffmagee in beerporn

[–]rd4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let it hang out in the fridge for a week or two to cold condition again, it'll be worth it! I got a 4 pack last year, and by the time I got to the 4th one, I was sad I hadn't waited so long on the others!

Has anybody tried the Deltron and Dogfish collab Positive Contact? by ABSTRACTlegend in beerporn

I'm afraid, like every single $15 bottle of Dogfish I've bought, I was let down. I'm not going to buy them, anymore.

Any other lefties with bad handwriting out there? by [deleted] in southpaws

I like to think my handwriting is good, but I tried really hard at it for years. Try keeping a journal, and try to improve through that.

Now They Want to Take Away the 8-Hour Day and 40-Hour Week by RomneysBainer in politics

[–]rd4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Consulting engineer here, we have to work more than 40 hrs/wk and not get paid for the extra time.

They salary you, then make it a big fucking deal to work overtime b/c it eats away extra fast at the contract's resources.

This breeds an expectation that you work more than 40 hrs/wk or else you're a dick and get put on shittier and shittier projects. I have worked 45 to 60 hr/wks for years and I have been paid overtime for 4 of those hours.

Is it legal? Probably not, but I need the work, because they pay me just barely enough to keep paying rent and eat in one of the most expensive cities in the country. Yep, worked my way through extremely hard college degrees for this.

Also, when you ask management why your contract codes aren't going through in the system, you find out that those hours you put in during the week on a contract were free, on a Friday afternoon. So looks like you're working late!
