I have less of an issue with that. The other two issues were more important to me. You can’t win them all

Missouri is my home state. I am glad this passed. Everyone should have the right to make their own decisions about their body.

Also, minimum wage increases seemed to have passed as well.

Wal-Mart does a lot of things I don’t agree with. Their labor practices along with their sourcing and many other things make them the last place I will shop.

I sound agree price isn’t always the best factor to determine a monopoly.

Walmart use to go into a town, sell everything cheap and drive everything else out of business.

It’s one of the many reason I hate Walmart.

Growing up we have a cool downtown area. It wasn’t big but had a bunch of small stores. They all closed within a year of Walmart.

I think it was just a limit of how quick everything ran back then. Also, this was an IBM system that was checked, double-checked, and triple-checked because it was a mission-critical system. IBM used to be known for quality hardware. Hard to imagine because they are such a crap company now but that was the equivalent of a google back then.

My first pc had a tape drive.

It isn’t a disk driver since the OS is not loaded yet. It is the hardware identifying each disk in the SCSI chain. Not sure what else it was doing walking the bus much I know finding all the disk was the longest part.

I think mine takes like 2 minutes. It’s ten years old. I’ve putting off upgrading to the cost of videos cards

I will date myself. These machines had a lot of memory as well which added to the slow reboot. I think it was 16 gigs.

The r series for IBM took forever. The p series was faster but was still slow

The more disk you had, the longer it took. It walked the scsi bus which took forever. So if you had more disk. It took even longer.

Since everything was remote, you’d have to call hands and they weren’t technical. Also no cameras since it was the 90’s.

Now when I restart a vm or container. I panic if it’s not back up in 10 minutes.

In the old days some of the servers took at hour to reboot. That was stressful when you couldn’t ping it at an hour.

No I decide. I plan around my work.

5-6 weeks? If you add what I take off I’m well over that. I’m around 20 holidays. 4 quarter days. Birthday. 3 weeks mandatory. I’m minimum 12 weeks a year.

Have no interest in hiring you. You don’t have the skills or work ethic to work where I work. Look how you’re arguing about something you have no knowledge about. That isn’t the type of person we’d hire.

Oh please, then you could just “decide” to take every other month off and nobody would care, you would get paid the same,etc , you can’t tell me that’s the case…

Maybe someone like you would do that but I enjoy working. If I don’t have my deliverables in then I would get terminated for performance. I take plenty of time off.

Right, so 3 weeks vacation and you can’t even decide when to take them. Sounds like a pretty shitty deal to me… No. those are in addition to as much vacation as you want.

It seems that way, yes, so what good does “unlimited vacation” do?

It allows me to take off as much as I want. With three weeks mandatory and twenty days for holidays, I take another 4 weeks off. How much more time does someone need?

What’s next, are you going to tell me that your company is like “a family”? No, it’s a job. We also have 9 months of paternity leave as well. My coworker was out most of the year spending time with his newborn.

I decide.

On average? 4-8 weeks.

If you had read my comment, you’d see we are forced to take a eeek in July, two weeks for the end of the year and 20 holidays.

I take very little time off. I feel like I’m already off most the time.

Pretty standard now days. The only limit is I have to get my work done and it can’t be more than 4 weeks at a time. Oddly it can’t be used if you’re sick. You have to use sick time for being sick. That’s only 12 weeks but that’s when disability would kick in.

The average American has 11 vacation days a year.

I have unlimited plus my birthday off, once a quarter we all take off, a week for 4th of July, two weeks for Christmas and new years plus twenty holidays.

This is pretty standard for any job I’ve had.

The default for acquisitions should be no. Too many large companies buying small companies.

It’s lemmy. Most people don’t get a small business is often tradesmen, the local restaurant down the street or that weird quirky store in your neighborhood.

They’re also the ones struggling hard right now. I’m no fan of Harris but based on the limited article, I support the idea.

We need to make it easier for the average person to start a business and have some prosperity.

I seek out small locally owned businesses as often as I can.

It was the model for a very long time. It was all about renting excess capacity. It was a brilliant move. It wasn’t till much more recently people turned it into a business by buying properties just to air bnb.
