I always hate when my own computer says I need permission. “Permission”? I own your damn ass! It should be more like, “Unable to comply due to security settings” - and even better, tell me where the settings are, and add, “Your Majesty”.
Legally I think a resignation is valid upon delivery. CCing the new employer on a resignation email that specifies the effective date should solve your friend’s dilemma. OTOH if he continues to accept payments it would be an acknowledgement of continued employment - which the new employer wouldn’t know about but could be used by the previous employer if there’s ever any sort of legal dispute in which his exact end date is important.
You been DOGEd!
Also take 30x longer to clear their throat. Human: Ahem. Giraffe: Ahem ahem ahem ahem ahem ahem…
I agree, capitalism is just one way it manifests itself. Greedy opportunists figure out how to exploit any system.
When did Meredith at Dunder Mifflin become a vampire?
As a science nerd I think BBT is very funny, even when the writers make such glaring errors as having Sheldon stop his self-destruct device just before its countdown reached zero - even though he modeled it after Star Trek, specifically referenced a TOS episode the self-destruct was featured in, and even used the same password. Any true Trek fan knows the Enterprise self-destruct was unstoppable after the countdown reached 5 seconds - a fact that comes up in the very episode Sheldon mentioned. A deplorable writing error, to be sure, but I think such things are amusing in their own way.
The only remotely objective measurement I know is that enough people enjoyed the show to make it last 12 seasons. Y’all are welcome to your own opinions, but all the absolutist pontificating is pretty silly. There’s no Kelvin scale of funny.
IT Crowd is hysterically funny as well, but it’s written differently (not correctly or wrongly, just different) and was written and performed for a different audience, in a different country. There’s really no point arguing which was funnier.
“I’ve only seen the one episode…”
Sheldon: “You certainly put a lot of effort into expressing an opinion you’re woefully unqualified to form.”
In other words, you have insufficient data to make a meaningful comparison.
Interesting, I never knew that, even though my parents sent me to a Jesuit high school in Portland OR. All boys sadly, but academically fantastic.
Needs a nice steaming cup of black coffee, piping hot.
I’m confused, does OP want to know what people were doing before high fives or what was recently invented?
By “steal” you mean “copy”.
Jesus, I was using Turbo Pascal in the 80s. Had no idea it even still existed in 2000. Flex: I wrote my own BBS in Turbo Pascal and ran if for a couple years in Portland - Tomb of the Unknown Modem.
Just my own perspective lol. I was an old-school programmer before the web era, when computers were in a computer room and we used “terminals” that were just monitors with keyboards. I only had a PC and ball mouse for like 5 years before I got an optical mouse.
At one of my jobs a guy ran the speaker wires from the adjoining cubicle in and out of his own computer so he could mix things into the other guy’s audio, mostly music and talk radio, at very low volume so it sounded like random stray signals. Took the guy like a month to figure out what was going on.
According to the internets, “Liberation Theology” is a Christian movement that started in Latin America in the 1960s, that preaches against oppression. They sound like the opposite of right-wing “Christians”.
WWJD?
