Here’s how to phrase this more constructively:

“One feature I would like to see is that the Fitbit would remind you to get up and move. This is not currently included.”

This does away with your personal opinion no one cares about and lets people make their own decision with the added information you’re giving.

You obviously didn’t actually read the decision or understand the plaintiff’s claims. This is specifically about sending repeated emails to your contacts, when you didn’t authorize those repeated emails.

I spent six years working at a Lowe’s (paid my bar tabs through college and part of law school), and a lot of this is good advice. Some minor additions:

The first time I actually asked for a raise I had quite a bit of data to backup the numbers I was looking at. I had regional and national averages based on experience & job function as well as the Rule of Thirds on my side. For professional services (architecture, engineering etc) salary should be about 1/3 of the

I’m someone who’s really tried to go the non-anti-perspirant route, even though research on the safety of antiperspirants is pretty up in the air tbh, but when it’s not the dead of winter I just can’t do it. I hate having visible sweat on my clothes, smelly or otherwise.

Cold water and not so much detergent.

Same here. The only time I use hot water is when I’m washing my sheets to try to get ALL the pollen out (I have severe allergies to Earth, basically).

Good points for non-techs to consider! I actually wrote a quick essay on Medium.com some time ago similar to this, called it “Five Rules for Dealing with Computer Techs.” https://medium.com/@mnmltek/five-…

Me: “Yes, as I said. They’re like thick dotted lines, four of them at the bottom”

what about if the door and hinge has been painted multiple times to the point that I

As a former Wendy’s employee, I can also attest that it’s FANTASTIC for finding all the small cuts on your hands you didn’t know about when you empty a bucket of pickles, soaked in pickle juice, at the end of the night when you’re restocking.

I’m not a road maintenance guy, but I work in traffic engineering, so I have some background. Usually 10 miles of road get blocked off (or the equivalent on whatever job) because setting up traffic control takes a while and moving it every day is going to take an hour or two to do set up and take and moving, so it’s a

Museum curation: every time you tell me “I don’t really read labels, they’re boring” it makes me want to die inside. Do you know how many degrees someone had to get, languages they had to learn, and how many books they had to read to find out about this really really cool, 3000 year-old artifact? And how long it took

Welfare Caseworker =/= mean that I enable lazy people and give them your hard earned tax dollars.

Have not yet moved into the actual professional world, but I’m always annoyed when people assume that law students just sit around learning the laws. That’s really not how it works. Sure, we pick up a bunch of stuff, and the basics for a lot, in the process of learning how to be a lawyer. But my family and friends

Programming is very much a communications job. If you can’t write a basic email or learn how to make a point in a meeting, you’re going to be a bad programmer, even if you’re good at coding. You’re going to spend at least as much time communicating as you are typing.

As a former tech support person, and current web/computer developer, instead of “innocent until proven guilty”, it’s “dumb until proven competent”. You always have to assume the lowest common denominator until they show they actually know what they’re talking about and you can say “Go to services.msc” instead of

Software Engineers don’t fix your personal computer issues. If one more family member asks me why their printer doesn’t work I’m going to lose it. I’ve already explained to them that all I do to fix those problems is type the problem into Google, and follow the instructions.

Try crossing your arms over the bar instead. It’s legit for heavier weight too, I’ve done over 315lbs.
