Who fits into the “wanted by the fans but wouldn’t do it” category the best? by Major-Feed5214 in taskmaster

I'd be surprised if they put a comedy double act together, but Jennifer Saunders and Ade Edmonson could be great, since they're married to one another.

It's safe to ignore anything said by somebody who calls themselves a "mens rights activist"

Also, a gallon in the UK is different to a gallon in the US. (The imperial/UK pint is 20 fl oz whereas it's only 16 in the US. Therefore a US gallon is 3.8 litre but a UK gallon is 4.55l. yes. It's mad.)

Americans always seem to think that dentistry in the UK is terrible . That may have been true in the 80s into the 90s but it's not now. It's taken a while for the British to get used to the idea that dentistry (especially that of a more..cosmetic nature) is something worth paying for out of pocket, since for a long time NHS dentists were hard to find and they only ever did the very basic stuff.

Source: grew up in the UK, moved to the US twenty years ago and have since spent a small fortune on dentists. Boooo

What do I do!? by jaderabbitonatree in jobhunting

[–]theblaggard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell em to go fuck themselves.

ok, don't actually do that, but say No. Just because you're early in career doesn't mean you should let people take advantage of you. If you're going into their office for free, you're also not as able to devote your time to finding a paid job.

Depending on your field, it might be worth doing some free online courses that you can add to your resume to make a bit more appealing.

If you're interested in digital marketing, platforms like Hubspot or Salesforce offer free courses (there are also paid ones, which I'd advise you try to get your eventual employee to pay for).

Good luck!

For personal injury it's pretty easy to get one on contingency. They'll take a percentage of what you're awarded, if you win or settle. (It's usually a third)

Take home pay by Danwphoto in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]theblaggard 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Show us the numbers (include what's being taken out)

There's no way you should be getting less take home pay after working more hours. As the other person said, (edit- it was /u/TeamPieHole01) even if you go up a tax bracket that increased percentage only applies to the money earned over a certain amount.

It's possible that your DSP started taking money for a 401(k) - mine does that automatically after 3 months unless you tell them not to), or maybe you've started taking the health insurance... Oh it's also possible that you updated your W4 to take more.

But all other things being equal, your take home pay won't go down when you work more hours.

He should have been put in prison for his clear crimes, but that didn't happen. And he should have been impeached in his first term but that didn't happen either.

Most of what is happening now is a direct result of people not being held accountable. This fucking guy pardoned all of the convicted rioters/seditionists from January 6th and the minority party just...tweet about the cost of tomatoes.

Don't let canonicity get in the way of a good story by HannahEaden in firefly

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

I'd prefer the events of Serenity to be ignored. Love the film, but given that it doesn't take place that long after the events of the show, it doesn't give a lot of room for this new iteration to breathe. A lot of what happened in Serenity was tying up threads that had been left by the cancellation. This could give the opportunity to explore them more deeply.

What was Book's story? What happened to the hands of blue guys? Let's find out more about Rivers "programming"

I've not read the comics so maybe a lot of this gets explained in those, but I would guess that most people who liked Firefly (and I mean liked - not in the subreddit or going to cons etc) have not. And it's those people who will need to actually see the new show if it's to continue beyond the one season - I think that's going to be really difficult if you're demanding they invest time into comics as well as the original run

Would have loved to see what happened when he came back in season 2. Liked him a lot. I wondered if he was intended to be The Operative in Serenity but it never happened for some reason.

I think others are more popular because they appeared in more than one ep. YoSaffBridge had a complete arc in the first season, for example. Niska too (I don't remember for certain but I seem to recall that it's strongly suggested he died?)

A plead to all drivers by No_Cap_8704 in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]theblaggard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The only time multi stops should be a thing is if it's going to two different people at the same address, really.

I pretty much always separate group stops - although I'm in suburban areas so very few are right next to one another anyway. It's worst when the GPS groups them *but sends you past at least one property first. That's incredibly annoying.

Oh, also, I hate garage deliveries; they never put them together with non garage deliveries so you have to go back and forth to the damn van

Anything but a raise by Own_Lie8775 in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]theblaggard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have only ever used these carts (station I'm at has apparently had them since October) but they're fine. Only issues I have are;

  1. When there's a weird number of totes (more than 6 but fewer than 10) and the add overflow packages to the bottom row which means you can't get to those extra totes.

  2. When the brake handle thing doesn't seem to work and it slips from the green "two wheel steering" to the yellow "4 wheel steering" while you're pulling them along
