No severance doesn’t effect your eligibility for unemployment. It does often reduce the number of claims however. Many people live off the severance until in runs out, then claim employment. You can also claim unemployment while still actively receiving severance pay.
Severance is usually tied to a non-disclosure agreement. If they want to enforce them, compensation is usually required in most states.
I went to a very small public university campus that a few years before was associated with a massive state university. They were still mostly independent but we’re getting all sorts of pressure to conform to the larger universities policies on research etc. At my school the professors all taught and did little to no research.
As part of their ongoing arguments they had all juniors/seniors in both schools take a standardize tests at the end of their core degree courses for a year. My tiny university averaged 90th percentile. The large university averaged 30th percentile. The difference having highly qualified dedicated teachers.
Yep as soon as the game is launched, LAYOFFS!!!
Sharing profits with the people who actually did the work is anti-capitalist.
The OS desktop environment has stagnated over the past 15 years.
Many businesses have transitioned from a 3-4 year rotation on desktops/laptops to every 5-6 years today. Hell my work laptop is 6 years old and I don’t forsee replacing it for another 3-4 years. For work functions there is no significant improvement to upgrading more frequently today.
So if they launched W12 next year, widespread adoption will likely not occur until 2032-2033 or at the Win11 EOL whichever comes first.
The developers today are working on a system that will not become mainstream for 8+ years. They want to launch in the next 2 years knowing it will not be adopted for years.
They ignoring the reality of today’s market and building to meet the latest fads. It’s Windows 8 all over again.
BYU aka happy hunting ground for rapist.
As a university it has an extremely high level of unreported rape and sexual assault. This is because reporting the rape often leads to the victim being punished, kicked out of the university, and all credits lost.
Potatos are very destructive to the soil.
They have to be dug up (lots of cultivation). This breaks up the soil structure causing all sorts of issues with porosity, nutrient and organic material loss.
Because of the diseases and pest that attack the growing tubers, growers use fumigants/biofumigants. These are indescriminate killers that wipe out all sorts of insects, fungi, nematodes, and bacteria.
Potatoes leave very little organic residue behind when the tubers are harvested.
Any crop that follows potatoes suffers from a “yield drag” for 2-3 years as the soil recovers.
Out of the all starchy foods we eat, potatoes and sweet potatoes are the worst for the soil.
I find that a string of swear words works wonders for many sites when they want to be all picky. Add in a random symbol/number and presto a “Secure” password.

Windows 11 UI is a downgrade from XP.
Windows 11 is also deeply unstable. I haven’t had this many program crashes, errors, and other bullshit since Vista and ME. Windows 10 had it’s annoying quirks but it was at least relatively stable.
I have saved myself the headaches with UI changes since the Win8 clusterfuck when installed a 3rd party taskbar/menu.
Its a fucking stupid and manipulative question for the employer to ask. No employer should give a fuck if somebody took a couple years to travel, take care of family, or just couldn’t find a job.
What they are really asking "Are any of the time gaps in your job history, a job that you got fired from with cause? "
Instead of being little shits about it just ask the actual question straight out. The shock value of asking a real non-bullshit questions in an interview has paid off many times for me when hiring.
Now is the time to strike while the iron is hot.
Tomorrow,
“Hey boss, after unloading that truck yesterday with the pallet jack, my back is really sore. If it doesn’t ease up I might need to go to the doctor today.”
Next safety meeting/safety suggestion box in a week or two.
“I really think the company should invest in electric pallet jacks. They are not that expensive and will cut down on potential lower back injuries.”
Van driver shows up.
“Hey do you guys have a dock or a ramp?”
The pallet jack is offered as a sacrificial lamb.
The van driver curses and groans and sadly takes the offered pallet jack.
… Takes cover and starts reloading, only to have a medic jumping like a bunny appear from the smoke and headshot you 3 times from the hip.
They are also totally not using cheats as they go 95:8 in the round.
I vote for squash/pumpkins. I have a bunch of those as well as corn.
Honestly most of the issues with OneDrive are from one setting:
Files On-Demand - it’s turned on by default. It uploads all the files in the drive to the cloud and then deletes them from the local computer. Its absolutely, fucking stupid and should be banned.
AI hardware is a sales pitch without a clear product. Consumers have no clue why they would want to buy something with AI on it.
For most consumers AI is a webpage that kids cheat on homework or adults attempt to cheat at work with. It makes ugly fake pictures with all sorts of weird errors. Its also the annoying as fuck answering services that you have to yell at 4 or 5 times to get to a real person.
Why would an AI PC be desirable?
It’s worth $30 more per year. Aka it’s a subscription rate hike.
They hiked up all of the subscriptions. Then made it confusing as fuck to subscribe back to the one that you had.
It adds flex to the container for variations of atmospheric pressure. It’s what they mean by the fill levels.
Milk containers are filled by weight. The exact volume of the liquid can vary slightly based upon the atmospheric pressure.
If the container has no flex the top will pop off or the sides will crush in with pressure changes say when a truck drives over a mountain pass to deliver the milk.
The real solution would be for the EU to mandate an standardized open source connection platform that all car companies are required to support.
I currently use android auto on my truck. I had to make a bunch settings modifications to make it semi-functional. It took me months to figure out how to get it to do what I wanted, when I wanted it
It’s called Bi-color corn. It’s made by creating a hybrid between white and yellow corn inbreds. The seeds are all yellow. The resulting corn (F2 seeds) display a yellow:white ratio of 3:1.
The color has zero impact on flavor, texture or sweetness. It’s all for visual impact.
