…the French, in principle, rarely distinguish between fact and impression.

The author comes out swinging and still manages to bore quickly.

Smells just like the Brexit gamble.

Salaried employees get paid by default. Someone has to notify accounting to not pay the person, not the other way around. This has been the process for every company I have ever worked for, or owned. I am not saying that what you are saying isn’t true, I am saying that it is fucked up.

Name a more iconic duo.

Tech bros and inventing something superfluous that nobody asked for that will literally bring misery, suffering and death.

It isn’t a stretch. I can’t speak to other states but in Texas, it is almost guaranteed. I had added an edit to my previous comment. The fact that it was approved before we submitted our objection tells you enough.

Severance, you’re right. Unemployment is likely still on the table depending on the state. In Texas, the person can file for unemployment. The company can challenge saying they were a no show but the employee can argue that it isn’t true. It is just easier to allow unemployment to just cover it.

EDIT: I once had a guy work for two week as a 1099 and he still filed for unemployment. That got denied because he was never an actual employee, but had we not noticed the claim in the mail, he would have gotten paid.

Take two weeks vacation. Get paid.
Miss two weeks of work. Get paid.
Get fired. Get two weeks severance and unemployment.

Homie quit and got six weeks pay plus unemployment benefits.

Honest question: What does Microsoft expect people with no Internet access to do?

Genocide is bad.
Oppression is bad.
Racism is bad.

Those don’t seem like difficult concepts to grasp.

The Independent getting sassy

HYPE!!!

I not sure if this helps you at all but I use Pop!_OS on a Thinkpad with touchscreen. On it I do A LOT of PDF work, including forms and signatures. I have had no problems at all in four years of it being my main system.

Note: I do not use pressure sensitive stylus inputs like the Wacom or iPads use.

They gonna braindance choombas that can’t cope with meatspace.

Everything about modern Republicans screams middle school.

My first choice is Pop!_OS because my graphics cards are NVidia, but you said that you don’t like their DE. My second choice is LMDE (Linux Mint Debian Edition). It is boring and stable and gets out of your way.
