Blah, Blah, Blah........life is expensive. It isn’t an employers job to pay you or anyone else a living wage. It is for them to pay what the job is worth. If you feel that you deserve more than that - either convince your employers of that or find another job. Is it easy? Not often but that is life and reality.

Maybe I just have a good dealership - but I’ve been taking my cars to the local manufacturer dealership for years for maintenance after we found out they were cheaper than the Goodyear we had been using. Might not be the absolute cheapest but never felt cheated and they took care of us as customers. Now I have two…

Source (never mind I see Whole Foods workers got cut) The only thing I heard is the pay raise came at the expense of the profit share (I think) bonus some employees were eligible for (not sure if warehouse workers qualified for). The same principle applies though - if you are not making enough or feel you are not…

Didn’t they just raise everyone to $15+/hr? If you feel you are not being fairly compensated for your labor - go find another job.

Oh for Pete sake, the article isn’t really about Digit. It is about making the point that sometimes it is okay to spend money on something to save money if in the long run it saves you more than it costs. Digit is just her example of something she has found that does that.

Say there are five candidates running, but the voter ranks only three, and all three are eliminated prior to the last round. As a result, none of their votes will have gone to the winning candidate or the runner-up. In effect, their ballot doesn’t figure in the outcome.

Well, it is a start. I really hope ranked voting becomes the standard across the land. Of course, given that the congressional method for the Electoral College hasn’t taken off - I am not holding my breath.

Got to admit I am surprised we are not reading stories of Niantic’s servers crashing and taking down there other games.

My garlic hack - use garlic powder or minced garlic that I bought from Costco (probably over a year or so ago).

Money exchanges I imagine. My understanding (granted from pop culture sources) is there are places (or nowadays machines) you go to where you give them, in this case, Libra and for a fee, they give you the equivalent amount of the local fiat currency.

This is the main problem with common core (at least as I have encountered it), teachers sending home common core worksheets but nothing that explains the common core method to parents. So it is very frustrating not to be able to help your child - even though you can solve the problem with what you learned.

I have.

Yes, have never folded a single place of bread with peanut butter (or other fillings) to make a sandwich.

I suppose there is that - for me it is just “Ok Google, take a note - Room XXX”. Or at worst “unlock phone, hit the Keep shortcut (I keep the widget on my homescreen), type a note (Swiftkey let me have number row above the letters). Easier to retrieve also as I don’t have to go dig up and around the gallery to find…

 Isn’t easier just to put a note in your favorite note taking app

Actually, they did consult with physicists who pretty much concluded time travel does not work........but if it did would work pretty much the way used in Endgame.

While I believe it may not have happened to you.....it strikes me that has been a circumstantial thing. Although they are rare compared to robocalls I do get unexpected calls nowadays - I get calls that are important from out of the blue (usually kid related). Enough that I had to give up screening calls. I also…

Yeah, but what if someone legitimate is calling you but is not in your contact list?
