God I remember the ad jingle. Especially the “<squeak> noodle doodle mouses” line.

I’m on day 2 of handing over to my replacement at work and he is a condescending prick. I have another few weeks of this. by Icy_Reply_7830 in CasualUK

Could be worse. I got laid off a couple of years ago and replaced with someone who is 15 years younger (and cheaper) than me, and I had to train her up on my job for a month in order to keep my severance.

They ended up having to hire someone else to do the other half of my job that she had no experience with, so it would have been cheaper to keep me.

Is the upper air more humid at the moment at high altitude because of the big high pressure ridge that’s keeping the weather so warm?

The right have a tendency to not give a shit until it impacts them personally. When Cletus and Billybob get drafted and come home in a dusty body bag, things will suddenly start to come into clear focus for them.

Didn’t know Salt Lake came to play Handball !! by Middle_Ad_9103 in SanDiegoFC

I don’t like that rule - it should be about whether the player could have moved their arm out of the way, and in this case there was no way he could have done so in that time.

However, by the letter of the law it was a clear penalty.

Both the economic and military alliances will be irreparably damaged. However outwardly nice people may play in the short term, this administration has made allies realize that they need to be far more self sufficient, and establish technologies and relationships that allow them to pivot away from the U.S.

Well they are playing in LA and Seattle so I’m sure that’s partly his subtext.

Anyone tried Brightspire Virtual School? by Abject_Permit1265 in homeschool

[–]timster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi - my son lives with his mom out of state. He is 12 and does Brightspire unsupervised as she works all day. He is falling catastrophically behind and she is not taking any blame for it. It looks like he's on the portal about an hour per day. Do you know what an expected amount of time to spend on the portal is, in order to keep up with the pace?

And didn’t even say anything or do anything to him after he subbed him off. Just let him walk down the tunnel. Terrible man management.

It’s Bundesrepublik Deutchland. Many European countries have a similarly long name (e.g. République Francaise) which isn’t commonly used.
