No severance doesn’t effect your eligibility for unemployment. It does often reduce the number of claims however. Many people live off the severance until in runs out, then claim employment. You can also claim unemployment while still actively receiving severance pay.
Severance is usually tied to a non-disclosure agreement. If they want to enforce them, compensation is usually required in most states.
Tunis, Tunisia. The old town was something else.
Two lawyers got in a pissing contest on developing the land they owned.
My great-grandfather apparently had a story about it. It involved lots of booze, a prostitute, and a horse. Then again most of his stories had the same theme so the truthfulness of the story is up for debate.
Missoula is a bit odd on a few things. I attended Hellgate elementary - yes that’s the name of the school.
Yep as soon as the game is launched, LAYOFFS!!!
Sharing profits with the people who actually did the work is anti-capitalist.
The OS desktop environment has stagnated over the past 15 years.
Many businesses have transitioned from a 3-4 year rotation on desktops/laptops to every 5-6 years today. Hell my work laptop is 6 years old and I don’t forsee replacing it for another 3-4 years. For work functions there is no significant improvement to upgrading more frequently today.
So if they launched W12 next year, widespread adoption will likely not occur until 2032-2033 or at the Win11 EOL whichever comes first.
The developers today are working on a system that will not become mainstream for 8+ years. They want to launch in the next 2 years knowing it will not be adopted for years.
They ignoring the reality of today’s market and building to meet the latest fads. It’s Windows 8 all over again.
Didn’t the orange moron fire the guy who gave mediocre job numbers last time.
Let’s revise those numbers for reality.
-1,810,000 jobs
Two major things that are hurting Vegas today
International visitors are down due to the orange moron.
Attendance at conventions and corporate meetings are down due to the above stupid decisions. It was a cheap place to hold a large meeting: flights, transit, hotels, meeting hall rental and food were all 30%+ less than anywhere else.
Windows 11 UI is a downgrade from XP.
Windows 11 is also deeply unstable. I haven’t had this many program crashes, errors, and other bullshit since Vista and ME. Windows 10 had it’s annoying quirks but it was at least relatively stable.
I have saved myself the headaches with UI changes since the Win8 clusterfuck when installed a 3rd party taskbar/menu.
The local shops in my area are making a huge comeback. Starbucks killed most of the local little independents around 15 years ago. They did it by providing consistent quality and reasonable pay to their employees.
Recently local chains/independents have made a resurgence. Their secret, heavily recruiting the experienced trained Starbucks employees full-time at better pay and benefits.
Starbucks traffic is plummetting while local companies are expanding rapidly.
This morning I went to the bank and gas station right next to a Starbucks that has been there for 20 years and a 4 month old local chain. Starbucks had one person in the drive-through and maybe half a dozen people in the store. The local chain had a 10 car line and a full parking lot.
In my area the local shops are completely destroying Starbucks. This morning I went to 8
I’ll stop by and talk to David Marriott next chance I see him. I haven’t seen him in almost 30 years when he gave me a ride from the Manchester UK Airport
He was an asshat driver through. 1 star.
Marriott isn’t owned by the Mormon church. The owners are Mormon who follow the church leaders.
See it’s different.
Honestly most of the issues with OneDrive are from one setting:
Files On-Demand - it’s turned on by default. It uploads all the files in the drive to the cloud and then deletes them from the local computer. Its absolutely, fucking stupid and should be banned.
AI hardware is a sales pitch without a clear product. Consumers have no clue why they would want to buy something with AI on it.
For most consumers AI is a webpage that kids cheat on homework or adults attempt to cheat at work with. It makes ugly fake pictures with all sorts of weird errors. Its also the annoying as fuck answering services that you have to yell at 4 or 5 times to get to a real person.
Why would an AI PC be desirable?
It’s worth $30 more per year. Aka it’s a subscription rate hike.
They hiked up all of the subscriptions. Then made it confusing as fuck to subscribe back to the one that you had.
Taiwan “Hey Ukraine, got a few of those navel drones for us?”
Ukraine has shown that a traditional naval power is pretty weak.
The real solution would be for the EU to mandate an standardized open source connection platform that all car companies are required to support.
I currently use android auto on my truck. I had to make a bunch settings modifications to make it semi-functional. It took me months to figure out how to get it to do what I wanted, when I wanted it
Its not that most people are shit drivers, if you could dissect the numbers further you would see a minority of drivers involved in the majority of crashes. I know people who have been in 3 crashes in the past year and have driven under 15K miles.
If you look at countries where the driver training is more vigorous and the punishment for bad driving more severe, you’ll see that accident rate plummet further. This is especially true of traffic fatalities
I have driven more than a million miles in North america over the past 20 years and been rear-ended once due to the shit driver behind me failing to stop. I have zero accidents that are my fault in my driving history. I credit it to going through the British driver training system. It was an absolute nightmare to pass but it made me a much better driver.
Umm… With 2 free computers and nothing on them.
Run down the list and install all the different distros. Test them out for a few weeks then onto the next. Pretty soon you’ll one that you prefer.
A-10 is live target practice for Iran’s domestically produced manpads. It should not be anywhere near this conflict. That they are using it at all shows massive incompetence.
