About 25 miles. About 30 years ago, I had a stint with meth, short-lived, thankfully. I walked from the north end of my city to a suburb south of the city to my sisters house to detox after a bender and running out of money. Funny thing, in retrospect, I had just enough money left for bus fare but when I got on the bus, I was still so sketched out (paranoid) that I couldn’t bear to be around other (sober) people. So, I got off the bus immediately and walked. Not my finest hour.

You’re stating that “not guilty” doesn’t mean “innocent.” I’m adding that “not guilty” doesn’t always mean “guilty but got away with it.” Which part confused you?

Similarly, “not guilty” does not necessarily mean “guilty, but we couldn’t prove 100%”. So, a lack of conviction is not evidence that they did commit a crime, as you’re implying. This is especially relevant to rape cases.

Perhaps I wasn’t clear. Employees are clocking in early and not performing work related duties, and employees are clocking in before they even show up to work. What I meant by my last question is that employees are stealing wages. I know that won’t be popular, and it’s not at all to say that employers are worse at it, but your comment on the subject brought into mind because it’s definitely related.

I see this quite often as a manager. Shift is 8-5, hour lunch. Per policy, deviance must be approved by the supervisor. I get people all the time clocking in at 740ish and not starting work until 815ish, circle jerk around the coffee pot. In fairness, I SHOULD dock that time, but I don’t. Write up for violating established policy. I had a guy a few days ago, clocked in at 8, text me at 815 that he is running late because he can’t find his clothes (what?!). Who’s stealing wages in this scenario?

According to stats I’ve read for my state, most of wage theft is former employees, whether they quit or were terminated, not getting their final paycheck in the time frame dictated by law. I don’t really see this as wage theft, because IN MY EXPERIENCE, tracking down former employees can be difficult, even if they quit yesterday.

This NOT to say other forms of wage theft don’t happen maliciously.

Funny you should add that last sentence. My first day as a restaurant worker 30 something years ago was entirely sitting watching videos.

Have at it. A big nope from me. I watched a couple of videos of guys climbing those things and working on them and about died of anxiety. Even with all the proper safety gear, I’m sure I’d get a ways up and just freeze in fear.

I’d rather take on some of the other “nopes” in this thread; military or law enforcement. I could be a lazy ass do nothing cop for a day. Seems to work for quite a few cops.

Cell tower or wind turbine repair.

That and “sus”.

I am a big fan of the whole LOTR series. I saw a trailer for The Hobbit and thought 'whats this trash!?". Never watched the movie. No regrets from all the things I’ve heard.

I love this, absolutely using at work! Thanks!

With the right equipment, proper preparation, and proper knowledge of use, heat treatment can be the most effective, especially on mass infestations. I’ve had training and used this method professionally many times effectively. But it’s not a DIY home remedy.

Awww

I don’t disagree at all. Renting can be more practical for many people for many reasons. The reverse is true for many others that want to buy a house, like me. It’s just the original comment “Don’t buy a house” isn’t necessarily a life lesson, more like ymmv.

Idiot.

Don’t go with the low bid.

College isn’t for everyone.
