When I was in high school I was in a electronics program. They won a grant for a ham radio station with repeater and everything. It was valued at about 150k around 2000. It sat in a backroom never set up. The school would not spend the $150 in bolts to mount the antenna to the roof.

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.

My luck I would leave my ID and then get pulled over on way home...

"license, insurance and registration..."

"look officer, you probably won't believe this..."

Too many people being fucked?

Ok, so which alley did you buy the ID in and what type of animal fur was the dealer wearing?

Think back... XP had many complaints at release too, wasn't till sp2 or sp3 it was actually decent.

Yup! Bought an android phone on Amazon. I got a bunch of ads for phones or incompatible accessories. Amazon... You know I bought a android phone, why are you selling me a lightning cable? You know it was a pixel phone, why are you selling me a phone case for a Samsung s series phone?

I'll piss off a bunch of lemmy users with this but... I don't mind ads. I hate useless ads. As you said, ads about teas or coffees would of been useful for you. 99% of the time if I buy something I don't need more of that, maybe some associated stuff but not that. If I buy a video card yesterday I don't need another one. Sell me the latest games. Sell me da monitor with high fps/resolution to show off what the video card can do. I buy a clothes washer, I don't need another one. Sell me detergent. Sell me fabric softener.

How have all the advertising companies missed this?

Well you gotta admit a place with bluegrass isn't paradise... It's probably Kentucky!

That is one reason another is one my company does often. See in most cases you get hired as a contractor, so no pto no benefits no holiday pay etc. So let's say a manager has a contractor who is really good and they want to make them a permanent employee. First they have to convince upper management that the manager deserves a full time employee. Now they have to create a job offer, open to all internal and external applicants. They need to collect/sort resumes, they then select a series of people to interview. Now in 99% of cases the recipient is already choosen and the interviews don't matter but they have to put on a show. Then the manager has to explain why the other applicants are worse and the employee who is still a contractor actually deserves the permanent position. Then only then will the contractor be offered a employee position.

Also we must keep 20% of all the workforce at each site as contractors. So full time positions only appear when either a bunch of contractors are hired or employees quit either of which throws off the ratio. We have lost many great employees due to this policy.

I don't know about Georgia but at least in New Jersey that's not allowed. Not only that buts it's defense choice of attorney.

Several years ago, I was in legal trouble. I was recommended a lawyer by a distant family friend. That lawyer happened to be the wife of the lead prosecutor.the lead prosecutor was immediately dismissed from the case and another prosecutor appointed.

I got off with a light sentence and have cleaned up my life. That said who knows what would of happened if I had a different lawyer, the prosecutor was notorious for being hard and firm in his cases. I probably would of fared worse but he couldn't touch the case and a junior prosecutor was assigned. As I said different state so different lawyers but kind of makes sense. You can't monitor opposing benches communication or shared knowledge or deals...a lot of political questions not typically worth dealing with.

Yes, and those are the ones I make.
