I’ve actually heard it the other way: if your employer knows you have cancer or other disability, they have to try even harder to fire you to ensure that they could survive a lawsuit.

Power. Control is a byproduct.

They want power.

OP, you may be in lawyer territory. Not to sue the insurance company, though it may come to that.

A lot of these companies will give riff raff (you and me) the run around.

But once an attorney enters the picture, they have to get their attorneys involved and typically corporate attorneys aren’t cheaper than one you hire. So the incentive to resolve the situation quickly is higher.

At least for a short time. So a short phone call from your attorney to them will often get the attention of the right people.

So I had to look this up.

My information was based on an article that I read back in the early 2000s and it looks like it’s been debunked.

As if they would ask permission.

We’ll be fucking your wife now while we install features on your computer that you didn’t ask for. If you’d like to be notified when we’re done, please go fuck yourself.

I thought the UI looked familiar.

I never got that error when I downloaded MoBo patches.

Don’t cars have carborators? Are carborators edible?

I don’t know anything about cars except they go vroom. I know even less about chemistry.

MIT is obviously is trying to trick us into removing our protection!

If ad domains can be resolved to their IPv6 addresses, it means that they are not blocked. Your device connects to the IPv6 address and serves the ad.

I can’t remember what the problem was but my window to rollback was closing so I reverted back to IPv4 only and pushed it to another day.

Not in the US. The number of people who trust PayPal absolutely amazes me.

PayPal is not a bank. Regardless of what they write on their site, they aren’t regulated as a bank or insured as a bank.

They have the legal authority to close your account and take your money for any reason. There are countless horror stories of people trying to get PayPal to release their funds only to find out they have no legal recourse.

I stopped reading after “subscription-based”.

Alt right have a love/hate relationship with LE right now

On the one hand, they are the instrument of fascism.

On the other hand, they see it as unfairly being abused against their Dear Leader. Thus, the only fair thing to do is to use it unfairly against their enemies.

I’ve known good criminals and bad cops. Bad priests. Honorable thieves. You can be on one side of the law or the other. But if you make a deal with somebody, you keep your word.

Cyber criminals want to make more money like anyone else. So if they get a reputation of going back on their word, they aren’t going to get their next payday.

What paying the ransom does is empower their next data exfil and let other hackers know you’re willing to deal.

I’m not saying there aren’t bad actors out there.

Fuck Ticketmaster.

In an age where cities are getting less and less tax revenue, replanting new trees that don’t fruit is often more cost effective in the long run.

And even if you did hire a crew, they aren’t going to get every piece of rotted fruit. Animals, being what they are, will bury or hide them.

Fun fact: many cities had issues with female fruiting trees because their fruits would rot on the ground, causing bad smells and rodents. So they replaced them with male trees.

Unfortunately for allergy sufferers, this increased pollen counts exponentially. But that’s not all. Because these trees can “sense” that they are competing with other male trees, they produce even more pollen than they normally would.

Edit: My information is outdated! It was based on an article that I read back in the early 2000s and it looks like it’s been debunked.

Revert the code and claim credit for it again. 😜

Did you know that nine women can deliver one baby in just one month?

OP: not only was this a great solve, you wrote this very well.

If you haven’t already, I’d do a RCA for your company and send it to your manager and manager’s manager.

And keep a copy for yourself.

There aren’t many engineers that can code and write well.

Another “study” by the woke liberal science ivory tower. It’s a fact that women don’t feel pleasure.

The irony of the doctor’s name not being in the headline…

His name is Dr. Eithan Haim
