Gotcha, yeah I don't have a ton of data which is why I said I was likely in the minority. I do appreciate the insights though as my current position is only guaranteed through 2026 because of our project. Hopefully we get more projects and it continues but it's good to know that the industry is (unsurprisingly) screwing over more and more salaried employees.

I'm probably well in the minority here but I'm curious how true that statement is across the board. Or maybe I just work for a great team, lol. I rarely put in more than about 30-35 a week with exceptions of crunch-time deadlines. I do pull some odd hours because we have a team in India but can just take comp time later in the day or week to offset that. I'm paid (by most standards I know) quite well too.

That said, this is great for the folks that will benefit! I really hope this helps push for a larger reform. Far too many people are getting screwed over by shit jobs, shit hours, shit pay, shit benefits, etc...

He (the candidate) it just targeting key swing states. That's not to say others won't follow and file similar lawsuits which is quite possible. The real question is what happens with them and do they have an real impact.

I'm curious what you do where you are salaried with that low of a pay. Totally understand if you don't want to share though.

I've heard that before but really wonder if it's true. My last encounter with (I believe Mormons though it's been a LOT of years ago) was while we were eating dinner. The front door was open with the glass storm door closed. They came to the door, knocked, then stared at us while we were eating dinner as a family. We stared back and they proceeded to knock another 3 times before leaving. I mean, regardless of what you are at the door for that's just rude as fuck so how would they expect a nice response?!

something something gay wedding cake. Last I checked LEO isn't a protected class. And they aren't even denying LEO, just those that come in on-duty and are armed. So yeah, get fucked pigs.

Do you remember what it's called? I should add it to my watch list.

For me it's anyone that comes to my doorstep trying to sell something (including religion). To get to that point you have to walk past TWO "no soliciting" signs. That makes the person blind, incompetent, or both.

Many utilities offer bill discounts if you install a thermostat they can control during peak events. Some even will install radio-contolled switches on water heaters. Electric utilities have a VERY strong incentive to try and shave peak load during high-demand events.

Source: I worked for an electric utility. We even took our buildings off the grid and ran on generator during peak-load events. It was cheaper to burn diesel then contribute to the load.

They don't even care about the fetus though, it's just an excuse to oppress women.

I was in Deadwood SD this summer, I'll have to check out the series. Thanks for the suggestion!

Usually around 74F in the summer but I'll bump it if the temps outside hit the mid 90s. 64 in the winter, I like it cold. I run a portable AC in the master bedroom during the summer while we sleep. Bit of a story there.
