[quote]Why do they know about raises other employees got? [/quote] Because people have big mouths. Very unprofessional....

[quote]You you realize your potential is capped out and come to terms that you don't deserve a raise?[/quote] :lol: no. But I don't scream it and grumble to my co workers about it. I deal directly with the people who make things happen. ETA: I also said in my OP when things don't break yo...

There's been some things happen in our office that aren't exactly equal among the employees (mostly regarding raises and their timing) and a couple of people are being quite vocal and annoying about how "it isn't fair". I will say that I am in the same boat as that group but thankfully my dad and g...

Was just thinking about this. Feels like everything blue collar continues to fade. Which really sucks because that is really the backbone/heartbeat of America. It’s nice to go places that are unique and not exactly like everywhere else and aren’t overwhelmed with millions of people and the stress t...

Is the word that’s struck out cracker? Is that a word that deserves striking out?...

And to think because of dumb qualifying rules the US is gonna miss out on him for the Olympics. Shameful. ...

I was standing outside my apartment watching the parades and a very drunk woman was walking against the parade. She hit a pile of bids and completely lost her footing. Fell about 6 feet in front of the of the float so the tractor was already well past and couldn’t see anything so it kept right on mo...

[quote]I'm happy he is back but why announce that before the season even airs? That was the huge cliffhanger from season 3. Doesn't make any sense to just spoil that this early IMO.[/quote] Because they know they’ll get more casual viewers that way. Creating a great narrative is secondary. Most p...

[quote]Underrated—having a friend with a “homebase” on St. Charles—basically tailgating with an ice chest full of beer on prime real estate, with a bathroom easily accessible. [/quote] :nana: this is correct. Fortunately for me I’m that friend with home base....

[quote]Bluetooth is not aptx or bidirectional so that's out. USB may be your best bet. You could also get a streamer and plug it directly in a digital input on the receiver. It's a little behind the times unfortunately. If it had eARC instead of just ARC you could possibly stream to it from your ...

Yeah I bought it June of last year but it was likely an older model when I bought it. Plex is a great suggestion as I already have an extensive plex movie library through an NVIDIA shield client. ...

What's the best way to play high res music on my receiver. Can I play it through the usb port via Amazon Music HD? Stream it? I know this is kind of open ended but I'm a beginner to the world of HD audio. My receiver is an Onkyo TX NR-585 so it should be able to handle WAV and FLAC files up to ...

[u]Moonrise was pretty bad and that was the movie that sorta got me to thinking that maybe it's time for him to move on from that style of movie making.[/u] I feel bad there are people that didn’t enjoy moonrise kingdom. It’s great. A really good coming of age type of film. ...

[quote]Probably, but some of those people have likely been ghosted by potential employers in their job search. I think employers should start to recognize that. While your company may not be guilty of it, it's hard to blame people for abandoning common courtesy when those same courtesies haven't bee...

[quote]It is ALWAYS TRASHY as frick to bring up politics and religion in places of business,[/quote] I have co workers who do this constantly. Both sides too.

The inspirational quotes are always so bad. The worst part is they clearly never take their own self posted advice. ...

I have found in my short time on this earth that people who make terrible decisions are far more vocal (whether literally or figuratively) about those choices. And there’s a lot of people out there that make bad choices. ETA: also even just a decade ago there was barely an outlet for these decis...
