If you're into books, it's also the first book in the Southern Reach Trilogy. The movie was good, but the books really flesh out the situation. I was sad they didn't continue the movies with the rest of the books.

Yeah i always thought that was stupid. If thats what it means, I wonder if that means it will count towards the 8 hours you actually work? I wonder if companies would want to pay people for the extra hour vs losing an hour of productivity.

Trading off breaks for going home an hour "early" actually sounds like an interesting proposition for office workers, for people that work outside or in a factory, not so much.

I feel like I spent to much time in the sun today...

Why is nobody talking about this?

It would also eliminate the need to pay time and a half overtime on the seventh consecutive day of work for people working at least 40 hours a week,

Am I missing something here. Do these people get paid overtime if they work 7 days in a row, period, as long as they work 40 hours a week? Or does this mean if you work over 40 hours and 7 days in a row, you do not get your overtime pay for the 7th day, even if that puts you over 40 hours?

While i understand many people dont work 7 days in a row, I'm unclear as to why eliminating overtime pay, in any capacity, isn't a bigger part of this story. I understand breaks are important and it's not right to take that away, for various reasons, but to eliminate any form of overtime pay is also a big WTF. Idk, this isn't a thing in my state

And then there's this:

The bill, if it becomes law, would require employers to pay workers while they are eating instead of giving them a break.

Are they supposed to eat their sandwich while working? The break is only as long as the employee is actively eating? If there's no break, how are they eating, at all?

Idk. Not like its unusual for me to be dense, but these things really make no sense to me.

That's what happened to me. Needed a printer in the middle of covid, ASAP. Nothing I researched was there, so I had a limited time to just pick a printer. Hmmm, this HP seems ok...

3 months later, there was no way I used all the ink. WTF. Go to buy more, and thats when I realized my mistake. !@#☆$%^&*

I've heard good things about the tank printers

I almost had a thought about one article I saw about how patriot front was seen being helped into the trailer by the local police force. Of course the article went on to conclude that PF must be FBI in disguise... They couldnt possibly be the same that burn crosses.

Kava. I thought it was the way I was describing it. But they'll go straight for hard liquor that tastes like shit.

Pretty sad when I'm relieved, instead of annoyed.

Thank God there are others who have found these stupid captchas. I thought i was being flagged as a boarderline bot when nobody knew what I was talking about and assumed something completely different.

Theyve been riding around in uhauls for a few years now. They did arrest an uhaul full of patriot front members in Idaho a couple years back. But they all got charged with conspiracy to riot not lack of safety violations.

Guess the police have gotten so used to truck fulls of these idiots making appearances, they escort them out and just let em go...

Hmm well TBS created it, but it used to come on sat mornings on regular broadcast (NBC) where I was.

It was voiced by tons of well known names, ran for 6 seasons, had a horrible live action movie made with Don Cheadle. Idk I personally didn't watch it, but it came on after something I did watch. The only thing I can really remember about it, is it's theme song...
