This reply is pretty good.
I enjoy messing with these types of projects from time to time. Definitely get the punch tool and stand. Helps out tremendously.
I also enjoy having the crimp tool in the bag for making connectors, drops, or other situations where I'm not jacking into a keystone.

re: Reimbursement for PTO (paid time off) when leaving an employer
Posted by Monday on 6/8/26 at 2:44 pm to madamsquirrel

Louisiana law is you have to be paid for accrued time. It is not this way in every state.
In reference to my previous (above) comment. Our company had worked out some deals with employees for longer notice times for turnover. In return, the company would pay them a portion of their sick time. At that company, unused PTO rolled over to sick time. We didn't use very much sick time due to the WFH ability. That employee never received any of the (verbally) agreed to sick time payments. So I didn't take any chances and used up all of my vacation and a good chunk of my sick (that was previously unused PTO)
quote:
I'm seeing that benefit pulled back more and more often, and companies not paying any accrued time on the way out
My last company started pinching pennies and gave a couple people grief about not paying out their earned PTO. I didn't know the legality of it so I used all of mine here and there before I put in my notice. I got to play a bunch of golf before I put in my notice and didn't have to worry about causing issues with the greedy executives.

Defense rests, court dismissed until closing arguments
After returning from an extended lunch break, the defense team announced it was resting its case, and the court was dismissed for the day.
The jury will return on Tuesday, at which time it will be sequestered.
"I'm not going to rush you, so we'll just play it by ear tomorrow," the judge said to the jury.
Again, Judge Roach instructed the jury to go home and not discuss the case, and not get on social media.
"Don't get on social media, they don't know what the heck they're talking about," said Roach.
Court will resume at 9 a.m. on Tuesday.

124 lb bell
:speechless:
:lol:
I just got a 35 lb kettlebell to do some movement at home on the days that I'm not in the gym. Did some this week and while I know I will need to increase weight, it made sense for me to buy one and then I'll buy a bigger one in another month or two.
I like starting with the 35 because I can concentrate more on technique while working on overall strength. Fun fact: I put some planks in with my kettlebell routine and it made me feel very mortal. :lol:

I'm not sure why people get up in arms about "cheating" in college football. If they thought that the big, successful programs were clean then idk what to say them.
Same with Will Wade. He just got caught with his hand in the cookie jar. I'm sure other coaches across every other major sport try to put levels in between to insulate them from consequences should they get caught.
I was thinking earlier this week though that I miss when the money had to go through the back door.

are they worth it
As stated multiple times here, they are worth their weight in gold. We have 4 also in the south upper and it saves the hassle of having to keep people out of our seats. It does never fail that most games I have to tell someone to move because they are sitting in the chairback in my physical seat. Small price to pay.
Very surprising. I thought all softball players were lesbians.
My question is: Is there a way to see what money schools have? GT having 1 million and getting 5 million to push them to 6 is different than say LSU having 7 million already with no 5 million anonymous donation.
I did assume that. I've never been team speedbump but I'd rather the hassle of that than a kid getting run over. With the feral children in our neighborhood, I'm surprised it hasn't happened yet. Hell, if I wasn't paying attention and driving slowly I'd have hit one a few months ago.

Overall my HOA is pretty good. Occasionally they do annoying things
Same here. My only real gripes have been that: 1) they are not enforcing the cars in the street rule. Of course my two neighbors across the street have a vehicle there 24/7 which make it difficult for my wife and i to get in and out of our driveway. I'm no snitch though. 2) Not sure if it's within the HOA purview but we have cars routinely doing 45 mph+ in our neighborhood. Speed limit is 20 and the street is pretty narrow.
Next house will be rural and not in a subdivision though.

Doubt we see this one come back. I guess I’m happy for Suarez but I never enjoy the ones that end in rain.
This is fricking nuts.

I’m not putting anyone in prison for any drunk driving related 1st time offense
I know that you have to be trolling at this point but by your logic, I can drink all day and decide to drive home. At any point after that decision, I can kill someone. Then, all that should happen to me is a breathalyzer be installed in my vehicle? This is a top 5 all time bad take.
I would posit that when you get into a vehicle to drive while intoxicated is intent to harm others. 1st time offense DUI where you get pulled over, I'm cool with a breathalyzer. Injuries from something avoidable - jail time.

take on maybe things you wish you had known before having kids and what advice you would give to first time parents.
1. Don't listen to everyone else (for the most part) about what you should and shouldn't do. Your experience will be your experience.
2. Splurge on the things you will use often. That cheap stroller is ok, but if you plan on using it, get one that will hold up and be comfortable for you and the baby. The rest of the stuff doesn't matter. The kid will play with an empty water bottle for 3 hours and never touch the $50 toy you bought. :lol:
3. Be on rock solid ground with your wife and try to have a plan for as much as you can. Those first few months will be hell on you guys so having a plan on how you can support her, the baby, and yourself while not getting enough sleep is key.
4. Childcare. Figure it out early.
5. Money. I just dropped $400 at walmart to restock and less than $100 was not baby involved. :lol: Seriously, just plan to spend more than you think at every turn. Ours has turned out to be a big arse baby and has grown out of every single thing we had planned for the first two years of his life. He grew out of the infant carrier around 3-4 months so we had to buy car seats way ahead of schedule. Diapers, swaddles, wipes, formula, food, toys, clothes. Never ending.
6. Enjoy it. The firsts are the most amazing thing. I look at ours every day and can't help but be amazed that my wife and I created this tiny human. He learns something new everyday and I can't wait to teach him the rest.

Only way I would accept a job as a teacher if my pay was tied to student performance would be if schools and teachers were empowered to actually remove bad behavior from their classroom. I would gladly sign a waiver to allow 24/7 recording of the classroom so that parents can see how abhorrent some of their kids' behavior is.
Some of you must not have an educator in your lives. These classrooms aren't filled with model students eager to learn for the day.
I've had some version of this typed up trying to reply for 10 minutes.
Every parent should have to spend an entire school day shadowing a teacher once a year.
I like the idea of recording of the classroom. I like the idea of actually documenting and punishing kids for their behavior. I'd like it if the admins were actually held accountable. None of that will happen though.
ETA: Fire about 40% of administration employees and give that money back to the teachers.
