The real question is : who is Jay?

If I had one...

Now I gotta see if I have such a grate...

 

I bought a sandwich yesterday which was a hot sandwich (in this case it was a Cuban but could be cheese steak or meatball or chicken parm or whatever). I only ate half and put the other half in the fridge. What's the best way to reheat it?

Microwave seems to destroy the bread. Stove top seems to be uneven and burn the bottom before the top is warm.

But I could of gotten a $25 gift card for best buy as employee of the month...

This almost happened to me. Back in 2006 I didn't have a license and relied on my mother to get to and from work. She got off her work an hour after me and was about 30 minutes away so I had atleast an hour and half to kill everyday.

I would walk to best buy about 5 minutes from my job and walk around. If people looked confused or were looking for a employee I would help. One month I had the manager approach me and he told me I got enough recognition at the check out that I qualified for employee of the month. The issue was I was not a employee. He gave me an offer but it was 3 dollars less an hour then I was getting at my real job so I turned it down.

Can he stop pooping for 3 days if he eats all all those beans and corn?

Like I said in another reply the image is from 2012

[–] vrek@programming.dev 1 points 2 days ago

The picture is also from 2012 so I don't know what was bought/sold/merged/divested since then

Did my image show up for you? I tried to upload a bigger picture with 10 companies and every brand name they owned

The logic(and I don't agree with this) is that let's say Sally spent 550 dollars on catering. If she would have searched around she possibly could have found a comparable caterer for 500. By not doing that sally effectively stole 50 dollars.

This may be outdated but still really scary

I know people who work at Raytheon. It's a hot line for telling on your coworkers. That's it. So you find out Sally used her sister's catering company for a luncheon, you don't like Sally, you call the number, they "verify" and fire Sally.

 

What I mean is everyone wants both. And I'm not talking huge differences. I don't mean go from 30k per year to 120k per year or going home sweating everyday to watching Netflix most days. What brought the question up was I was in hospital and the computer the scanned all the medication and machines into was on my right side of bed and Iv pole where all medications were on my left. Nurses also had to deal with wired scanners which they had to hold up above the bed to walk around. Not a huge problem but cover 30 rooms with 4-16 different medications to swap out per day was probably a major pain(nurses can chime in disagreeing).

Another thing I've seen is people in a warehouse with systems logging all locations a product could be in and saying yeah we have some of that in one of these and they have to walk around to check several locations to find which still has some.

So you want a 2k-6k raise... If your job was easier how much would that make you stay instead of just demanding a raise?

Edit: this is not a real situation but say I have 4 employees under me and an extra 25k in budget. Would you prefer a raise or to improve your job?

 

Unrelated to topic but I was in hospital recently and nurses came around to do vital,blood pressure oxygen temperature.i was having a high blood pressure. Often I lay with crossed legs but a nurse told me to uncross my legs and blood pressure went down. Why why cross legs increase blood pressure ?

 

Obviously like prescriptions are different to ensure safety and dosages and such. I mean like the notes to show that you or your child actually went to the doctor. Has anyone ever called like "hi, yeah so I just wanted to confirm my employee John saw your employer yesterday and confirm they are a real doctor"

I can't imagine any manager actually has enough free time and enough pettiness to actually do that, am I wrong?

Running Debian sid and it mostly works (still struggling with Nvidia drivers for video). Last night I was watching a video and everything was fine, sound worked. Son was in room "asleep". I left to use bathroom and then he came looking for me. I don't know what happened while I was in bathroom but now I hear nothing out of speakers. If I reboot into windows sound works so it's not a physical issue. Reboot back into Linux no sound. Boot off flash drive Linux, no sound but I think that was always true and was a alsamixer issue on flash drive Linux setups. Volume on YouTube turned to 100, verified not muted, volume in KDE at 100 and not muted. Physical volume on speakers at 100, volume knob on keyboard at 100 and mute not engaged. All volume sliders in alsamixer maxed out. Simple setup, 2.1 speaker system plugged into sound output on motherboard no mixer or fancy equipment.

Son is non-verbal and severally autistic so I can't ask him. Whatever happened was almost definitely an accident but I can't figure out what happened. I see like a lighter bar moving on the KDE volume slider which seems to match expected video audio so I believe KDE is receiving the signal to play sound but nothing comes out of speakers. He struggles to feed himself soup or cereal so it's not like he found some super secret command and is playing joke. Something seems to be accidently hit and is blocking sound... Maybe a mute hot key not synced to main audio controls so it's not obvious that it's active???

Edit... This is solved. KDE mixer and alsamixer made no change but changing the output in pavucontrol fixed it. I have no idea why or how. Thanks for everyone who recommended it.

 

Those companies were all found to be pyramid schemes!

 

Well first someone would need to put a bank inside a whale...

 

I'm not looking for Chromecast but I have a Linux system hooked up to a TV and ether net. I want a way to pick a YouTube or Amazon prime or Netflix video on my phone and display it on the TV via the Linux pc. Is that possible? If so what software can do it?

 

I don't expect much but I found an old pi I bought probably 2016(may of been 2017). It was supposed to be a pi-hole but was never able to get the dns forwarding to work on my modem. It still works but wanted to somehow convert it to a regular distro(it's based on a micro-SD and I don't have any more microsd readers). I wanted to set it up as a basic system I could ssh into a terminal. Not expecting anything fancy or even graphic based. A lot of stuff I want to learn/practice "work" on windows but are native to Linux, like vim/neovim nmap gcc etc. Is this feasible? Am I under estimating what's possible with it?
