Re:One Question You Should Never Ask Your Boss on Friday January 24, 2020 @12:29PM (#22140426)
I have a very Task Oriented Job, along with some projects that I manage. I end every daily check in with my boss the same way. "Here are my current priorities and tasks, Do you have anything else you would like me to do as well?". It works great for us, it shows him what I am prioritizing and gives him a chance to adjust those priorities as he sees fit. It keeps there from being any miscommunications or from having priorities.
She has said she hasn't even tried to make a bricklink account yet. Hopefully she tries and is able to order that way.

I'm excited but hesitant to see what happens, as an adult who recently got back into Lego I think there could be some great support given. Or it could all go to hell in a handbasket.

Delicious, that's what it is.

From Their Site:

What is the Life Cycle Analysis Costs of CO2 Incurred in the Mining, Milling and Transport? The Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) of the release of CO2 from mining, milling, and transport of olivine creates an approximately 4-6% loss on CO2 removed. We will always work to minimize the transport distance from the source of olivine, and utilize low impact transit such as rail and boats. Further, many tons of olivine are already mined because the deposits are found above other valuable minerals, such as diamonds (found in a rock formation called Kimberlite). Utilizing these piles of waste rock, known in the industry as tailings piles, will allow us to harvest olivine without causing a significant CO2 output. Further, the dust from mining itself can contribute to the offset of the entire mine, as well as the very ground where the olivine is exposed. It starts weathering right away, and many ultramafic mineral mines, abandoned or active, eventually offset their own footprint and even go towards negative emissions. On of our olivine weathering rate sources is actually these tailings piles. See these studies:

Salaried work has it's problems as well. I have worked at jobs where you're expected to work 60+ hours every week for no extra pay.

Have you thought about a section for special use case fonts like OpenDyslexic?

I work at a decent sized Engineering Firm, I billed 4 Months of time to a project they then outsourced. Then again I'm salaried, but that's still 4 months of wasted effort.

That depends on how complete the combustion is and how well the produced gasses are filtered.
You'd be surprised, in my experience, most jobs aren't flexible on schedule or understanding when you have regular doctors appointments. Chronic medical conditions and disabilities can require many regular appointments. I have 2-3 appointments a month and that doesn't include any physical therapy I might have. My Dad has multiple appointments per week usually. Luckily I found a job that let's me work my schedule around my appointments.
I worked at Food Lion(Southeastern US Grocery Store) as a teenager and they hire people with mental disabilities as baggers. They loved the job and never complained, I was a cashier and bagger and let me tell you it sucks rounding up carts when it's over 100 degrees Fahrenheit, but those guys were just happy to be working and around people who accepted them. And anyone who talked down to or badly about them didn't have a job for long.
Not all Corp credit cards record the name of the person registering them. The ones my company uses are all tied to the company and we internally manage keeping up with who has what.

I think salt with the bigger "meatier" tomatoes is a must, however the smaller varieties are better straight.

Immunizations wear off over time that's why we get boosters, and even having the virus doesn't guarantee lifelong immunity. I had chicken pox as a child and recently was hospitalized for chicken pox as an adult twenty some years later.
Re:CGRP: A new era for migraine treatment on Wednesday January 23, 2019 @01:34PM (#18981093)
I am really interested in how this progresses, as someone who has migraines it'll be great to have another option vs what's currently available.
I am 27 and I've been with my current partner for almost 3 years and we've semi-lived together most of that time. She's currently still at university so we spend weekends and holidays together. Her parents are divorced and mine are married but miserable, also neither of us has any religious drive to get married (I'm pagan and shes agnostic). We agreed early on that neither of us wants to get married or have kids but we plan on spending our lives together.
