I find np a worse message when taken literally. If I even have to write an email, it’s at least a little problem. yw allows for a problem you solved for somebody without suggesting that it doesn’t come at the expense of other priorities. Both will be interpreted the same way by almost everyone, of course.
You’re welcome to ask things like that of me. This is within the realm of stuff I will gladly do for you.
“Locally made” makes it sounds like they’re bringing them home from the farmer’s market in a canvas bag.
Yeah, I’m not running goatse linux.
It seems like a company that would require employee-purchased headsets would already require employee-purchased laptops. Do you know of any? Honest question; I don’t, but my bubble is pretty small.
It’s a square root of negative one. A sneaky way to get two answers with one question.
The number of times I walked out of the shower without using soap plus i times the number of times I soaped at least twice to avoid that scenario.
When it’s above 100, people who have options for something lower will generally go for them. Similarly for under 0. OK, so as [email protected] pointed out, such sensitivities might be specific to US culture, but theoretically, how much would we have to expand the 0-100 Fahrenheit range so that 0 is too cold for pretty much everyone and 100 is too hot for pretty much everyone? 0 goes to -10, 100 to 140? A new-Fahrenheit degree would still be more precise than a Celsius degree.
because otherwise the shareholders eat you alive for not chasing infinite profits.
I think that while the threat is real, the threat being a major motivator for upper management is largely illusory. It’s absolutely there, but it’s not making them do stuff they’re not already keen on doing. Nobody weasels their way up the ladder to do non-profit-maximizing things, occasionally getting reprimanded for not maximizing profit and always one stray “the old phone’s fine” tweet away from getting canned. They’re willing and enthusiastic profit-maximizers.
If I had a nickel for every time my boss fired somebody so humiliatingly that they forgot to take their jackets with them on the way out the door, I’d have two nickels.
I didn’t observe this myself – she e-mailed everyone she didn’t fire asking if any of us wanted a jacket and went on to describe the ones her victims were wearing just last week.
Oh wow, I got an Eve V years ago because it could do that and thought it was a budget Surface, so I always figured the Surface could do that, too. Now Eve’s out of the game and I’m looking to replace mine. Does anyone do that anymore?
Does the keyboard work while detached? When I travel, I like to plug the laptop into the TV and control it from across the room with a wireless keyboard and mouse. It would be nice not to have to pack a separate keyboard.
There were basically 3 channels for a while – ABC, NBC, CBS. But yeah, their brand has really diminished.
My surplus labor value at my first job, my second job, a few jobs in between and my current job.
