Many US based companies also do pre-employment background checks. So either OP works for a company that doesn't or they work for a "second chance" company that is OK with violent backgrounds. Either way the company is fine with his background and is very unlikely to fire him for something they likely knew about at hire.

You mean "at-will" states and that functionally means any state but Montana.

Manufacturing, not a ton of behind the desk work required. What little office work is required is still often done on paper or on very manual entry heavy basic excel sheets.

I dont know why tech people always forget non tech jobs still exist. You definetely wouldn't get paid for just sitting in a chair unless you've cracked industrial line automation in a way that should have already made you a billionaire. Still more automation of any kind would also be a good thing in a lot of plants.

It's used to deter pests so just spray some around your property and report the rest stolen.

That's also $15 with the option of every topping known to man ,and if you do add sides theyre enough for a meal on their own.

I work with people who have no email and use flip phones. Knowing how to do basic formulas in excel is something people in my industry put on resumes as a brag. I blew minds with a pivot table last week.

Then tech people will come in like "if you dont c38÷<#æ&÷>h§tg your &÷8]ă2& on your ejẅińë6÷&7g/g5 then youre stupid and support facism, you dumb corporate apologist with your basic windows platform."

Or at least that's what lemme feels like sometimes.

English spelling is weird but thats not really a hard word to spell compared to many others. Epitome is either an e or an i, and I would argue a native speaker would lean heavily towards e as a first guess. There is no way that it starts with a, o, or u for example. That's hardly "every vowel". It's at most 2 vowels and most people would have better than even odds if they heard epitome pronounced correctly.

The US military (all branches) has just over 600 flag officers. If Russia has 1000 that's still a massive difference between the loss rate. (.16% vs .9% or 139% difference) Also the US military also has logistics generals, not sure where you were going with that, could you please expand on it?

I'm not a numbers person so my math may be a tad wonky but that still looks like a significant impact.

If your just saying the army then the US has 218 as a max number of generals. 1 loss is almost .5% (.45%) of their numbers in 23 years. Russia lost almost 1% (.9%) in 2 years. At that pace in 23 years they should expect to lose almost 103 generals or over 10% of their flag officers.

That's a rate of .5% of generals a year. The US is averaging that in 2 decades.

I don't care how top heavy they are; 1% is an impactful amount of flag officers to lose in a year. Even if the impact is only to morale.

For context, Russia has been at war with Ukraine for almost two years. They have lost 9 Generals. The US was in Afghanistan for two decades. We lost 1.

9 is a fuck ton of senior staff in 2 years.

In most companies I've worked for the sick note requirement was 100% due to a few bad actors. We had to ask for one everytime because they wanted to avoid potential lawsuits if we only asked due to a pattern. 99% of people were doing the right thing and this policy just inconvenienced them. Part of the issue is employers making rules based on the 1% of bad faith situations. The amount of time management and HR spent running after doctors notes would have easily covered the cost of that 1% of shitty employees if notes weren't required.

Where do you live that working full time guarantees someone enough money for food and heat?

I've seen pentacles listed as "discs" or "rings" in some less traditional decks and even once as "circles". I've also seen wands as staffs, staves, and batons but if it doesn't have poles those others seem unlikely. Would clubs work or bats?

Note: no idea what an OFADE is or a OFCOCO just familiar with the tarot not with AI.

So most places online that sell sex toys have very innocent names that they bill you under. They will often list it as "you will see this charged to innocent-sounding-name" so that you don't accidentally assume it's fraud on your statement.

There is a tradition of throwing coins into the Trevi fountain in Rome to bring you back to Rome someday.Trafalgar Square has a fountain with a bunch of coins in it.

This isn't a strictly American thing. In fact it probably came from the old Celtic ritual of throwing valuables into water as an offering for the gods/ancestors. So it didn't even start in America. Like most other things we imported it and then became annoyingly extra about it.

But it's listed as a condo, that typically doesn't give you land ownership. Or is OR law different on that?

Is this some sort of weird "for legal reasons we had to post it but we don't actually want anyone to put in an offer" type things?

Like with the super specific H1B job postings designed so that only 1 person (preselected) is likely to qualify. But they had to post it because it's a government policy.

I guess I'm asking how this is helping someone avoid some sort of fee/tax on $169,000?

Edit: Guys condos don't always come with land ownership which is why I thought something was dodgy here. Does anyone know if condos in Oregon include the land under them?

I was part of a small study in the army that attempted to teach us land nav using our preferred "style" (no idea if the study got published). They gave us a test to determine if we learned directions better through landmarks or directions. Overwhelmingly it was landmarks. The US army is also largely made up of men.

I know this is all anecdotal but when lost in the woods most men and women that I know default to landmarks. Older generations of men who were in the military were probably taught to navigate mostly via directions (i.e. compass directions) which may be where the preference/stereotype came from in past generations.

Honestly the craziest part of that lie, to me, was how electable it should have made Hillary sound. She led the coordination of a million person movement in one day for a major event, at so low a cost that it was unnoticeable in any budget, and so seamlessly that no one noticed it happening at the time? That makes her sound like a logistical and strategic badass.

This is true of every artist scene eventually. The SoHo crowd from the 60s, the Beat generation in the 50s (North Beach and Greenwich village), Montparnasse in Paris in the 20s.

The artists of Rome where probably replaced in their neighborhoods by gentrification too, we just don't have written proof. This isn't some new fangled conspiracy. This is the cycle. Artists flock to cheap neighborhood and make it a famous cultural center with their art. Rich people want a piece of that atmosphere and move in eventually pricing out the artists they wanted to rub elbows with. Pretending this is a new phenomenon ignores the very nature of human society.
