Employment is simply an exchange of labor for a disproportionate amount of pay.
Things that colleagues act like is so important, in reality, is not.
re: Driving around central Europe, June/July. Need rental car advice...

Regarding driving to Prague, ask in advance or read the fine print. From Germany they wouldn't rent a MB, Audi because of theft I was told. I had to rent an Opel or Seat to take there. This is anecdotal from a little bit back.
Also, parking in Prague can be weird. They have several underground parking garages where you pull into what looks like a garage door & they take you under.
We used mrparkit.com and we've been several times. The pictures of the garages on their website always made it easier for us to find them.

re: FSLY…anyone back in?

This right here is why I'm going only to ETFs & mutual funds.
Last year I dumped my SPR for $23/share, then it went up 50% before the Boeing merger. In Feb I sold my FSLY for about $10/share.
Both of these I'd been holding onto forever, but soon after I sell them, they rise. But had I kept them, they'd have both gone in the dirt.
Fortunately I got out of SAVE (Spirit Airlines) at a good time, but you only remember the losers.

Did you mean Annecy, France? Or Nancy, France?
My experience is a couple years old.
There may be a deal w/ the rental company ahead of time, but they may also be hesitant to let you drive it to Prague. You have to ask. I'd also ask about vignettes. Renting in Rome, they're less likely to have them attached to the car.
The Swiss require a vignette sticker, but they may have digital ones now. The French have a Crit Air sticker requirement & they've checked part of the time for that sticker on German borders. Czech also requires a vignette that's digital.
Using Waze should show you the static speed cameras. Make sure you can drive a manual transmission.

If we're on time I don't buy the "connection" excuse. It's largely certain types of people who do this & tend to be disrespectful of others in all walks of life.
I've flown Vueling Airlines to BCN & you can't stand until it's time for your row to exit. I couldn't imagine the zoo-like behavior on an ATL-EWR Spirit Air flight.

re: Is there a minimum amount you need to spend to justify using your debit card?
Posted by Kraut Dawg on 3/14/26 at 9:20 pm to shutterspeed
I get how you feel & usually carry some small cash for this reason. However, as others have already said, who cares? We're about to be cashless anyway. And then, using your debit card is risky because of fraud.

I know you asked about food suggestions, mine's about traffic. Know the rules when driving in a traffic circle.
For the ones that are two lanes, if you're in the right lane, you're to yield to the person on your left trying to exit.

Above is the rebuttal of ignorance regarding this subject. Either this person lacks the intellectual capacity to understand proportions or they're being intentionally obtuse.

A better punishment would be to cut off it's welfare, section 8, medicaid, snap, whatever else it gets rather than earns. Make it fend for itself. Send the child to the father. This behavior is yet another example of the anchors we're dragging behind us.

We could do that, we'll probably do that. It's the easiest way.
Or we could stop funneling unearned money to some buck tooth Somalian. Or stop giving money to Jose & Maria who came up from Guatemala for vacation & never left. Or stop giving money to LaSquish'a from the projects & Haileghann Marie in the trailer park for irresponsibly having kids they can't afford w/o an employed sperm donor within site.

The reason for these Teams meetings are to ensure there are no siloed conversations.

I was on nike.com yesterday looking for golf shirts & noticed that there were two White models out of like 60 images. One I thought was a feminine teenage boy but it was actually for a woman's shirt, So a single White male on the entire page. That isn't indicative of American society.

re: African migrant mocks civilization and order

This behavior is prevalent among Africans and is not targeted against Whites whose nations have been peacefully infiltrated. They do this among themselves "at home" as well. It's just their cultural behavior.
Among fellow Africans on the continent, they'll cut off another without thinking twice. Burp while sitting next to you. Feeding with their mouths open & loud smacking & sucking up every grain of rice. Largely, they only consider themselves.
