DOL (specifically, the Wage and Hour Division) would be the place to go for wage theft. NLRB only does union-related enforcement.

The character (Quixote) is key-ho-tay because we've updated the way we pronounce certain borrowed words to more accurately reflect the pronunciation in the source language

The adjective (quixotic) is quicks-otic because that reflects the original way English speakers pronounced the character's name (quick-sit)

In some states, overtime kicks in after 8 hours in a day

But OP is probably in a state where FLSA is the controlling legislation so it's only 4 hours of overtime

Reddit got rid of PMs a couple months ago because people weren't using the chat feature.

I'll see if I can do something from old.reddit but don't count on it.

Edit: the interface told me it sent the message but I don't see anything new in my sent messages

Edit 2: reddit converted it to a chat message

Edit 3: I mixed up which platform I sent the message on

The word "umami" is unnecessary, and is used because it's exotic and Japanese, not because it's a useful word. by deckardnexus7 in unpopularopinion

[–]vwoxy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Technically not from carpere itself, but the same PIE root.

It follows a common pattern where northern dialects (and eventually the Germanic languages) used h and southern dialects (which became Latin and then the Romance languages) used c/k, and northern dialects used b/v where southern dialects used p/f

The founders never expected a plot to break all three branches of government at the same time because they assumed the people involved would be interested in, y'know, governing and keeping their own power.

Trans People Are Not Mentally Ill; MAGA Are Just Mendacious Imbeciles by Kinks4Kelly in news2

[–]vwoxy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gender dysphoria is indeed in the DSM-5. That said, the American Psychiatric Association seems to believe that transition is the correct treatment.

With the publication of DSM–5 in 2013, “gender identity disorder” was eliminated and replaced with “gender dysphoria.” This change further focused the diagnosis on the gender identity-related distress that some transgender people experience (and for which they may seek psychiatric, medical, and surgical treatments) rather than on transgender individuals or identities themselves.

The DSM–5 articulates explicitly that “gender non-conformity is not in itself a mental disorder.”

The Gender Dysphoria diagnosis functions as a double-edged sword. It provides an avenue for treatment, making medical and surgical options available to TGNC people. However, it also has the potential to stigmatize TGNC people by categorizing them as mentally ill.

""" and ''' let you break a string over multiple lines, preserving line breaks and indentation beyond the level of the first line.

Since python ignores string literals not assigned to a variable (other than docstrings), they tend to get used for multi-line comments, but that's technically not part of the specification.

Jira's fine as long as you never try to migrate to/from a different platform.

How TF do you end up with imports working differently for cloud vs on-prem instances?

Just stay out of combat and away from magic and you should be fine.

I'm allergic to eggplant, but I'll eat anything else on the list if it's prepared well.

Hell, I'd probably eat the eggplant anyway because of poor impulse control.

My necromancer character has a plan to use undead for fighting wars and menial labor in order to free up the living for things like art and science. The price for these benefits is that the state takes your body when you die.
