That... never occurred to me. I am not sure if I can personally but if I can't maybe a watch repair place could. Thank you, kind stranger!

Just to piggyback, this is a common way to deliver audio and is discrete but it drives some people nuts. There are lots of inexpensive bt headsets that use this. I'd try one before I spent a lot of money.

I tried several other app recently put of curiosity and none come close to Sync for usability or aesthetic appeal. Personal preference, of course, but I'm going to stick with this app.

I would like to add "please" to this.

Yes I might but was hoping to resolve this with them amicably first. I work for a high volume ecommerce business and we have customers doing this even as we are working to refund them so I try not use this if I can help it (it's a tiny, tiny percentage of transactions before people start saying we must be terrible at customer service).

I'll try that. I spent weeks going back and forth with swatch support sending detailed info and pics, then they sent me the "bigger" band and it was same as what we had. Also out $50 some for the strap. Sigh.

Not half but a very large percentage. Nothing has made me lose more faith in humanity than this. It's wild.

People are having a really hard time understanding that, yes, he is facing consequences at long last. The next step is seeing if the RNC will foot the bill.

In a city I lived in the built a speed skating ring in the middle of the city for some national winter games and it's used as a free skating oval in the winter and running track when it's warm. That scale of infrastructure seems ok and it's much beloved by the people. However, that's so different from a massive stadium.

You should probably lock your door when sleeping down the hall from him.

The band (not Jim) was the talent for sure. But as someone who was born in '72, I did enter teen years viewing him as the personification of Dionysus (which he cultivated). As an adult, I have no doubt he was an insufferable ass. :)

I have a beloved swatch from the nineties I am trying to expand the band on for my brother (he has MS so I'm trying to help with this as he has a hard time with phone calls, emails, and so on). Even swatch said all they could do was provide a larger band which was the same size (I am out $50 and they are not responding to my emails asking for a refund or replacement).

I'd love advice on this too!

This was true of NFL stadiums for US cities last I checked, which was several years ago. In general this stuff looks like a prestige project that rarely produces enough residual benefit to the hosting city to make it worthwhile.

Also the most insincere and cynical line in any speech he's ever given.

Of course, the people he aimed it at don't really believe it either or they'd maybe read the new testament even just a little.

You are probably very new to working in IT/programming if this shocks you and a clause like this is new to you.

I would ask myself how much a regular salary is worth over the value of a "maybe" idea you are not committed to already.

My personal advice is spend your time and energy honing your skills to increase your leverage with employers. When you are ready to take an idea to market you'll need to understand how businesses work, etc. You can learn that at work. Pay attention to everything.

You could not enforce "everything you do is ours" in Canada. You cannot write a contract that overrides employment law. Seems crazy you could do that but maybe US legislation allows it. I can see this, especially in states that are more "pro employer".

If anyone did, I'd say it was the AG at the time. His father basically got Epstein started and there's no way he wasn't thinking about all the dirty laundry that was going to be aired.

Allegedly, and so forth.

I have signed several of these. If you do it on company time or with company resources, it's theirs. If you do it on your own time with your own stuff, it's yours.

You may or may not be shocked to learn how many "personal projects" get done when people are supposed to be doing the work they get paid for or with resources they are effectively stealing from their employer. This isn't some evil corporate attempt to steal your brilliant work. They are trying to make sure that when you are at work using their stuff you are doing your actual job.

If you have your own things you want to pitch as products you will be giving over the rights to that the minute you work on it on company time with company resources.

If your ideas are good, save money, quit, start a start up, and use your connections to make a good deal with them (sell it to them). Or wait until you are a vested shareholder.

Just... wow.
