No shit, Sherlock. I went in early Monday through Thursday, and had PTO Friday, so I’m only getting paid straight time for the early hours I worked. I knew this going in.

That’s what I was thinking. This isn’t rocket surgery.
Or even brain science.
ok, but, which one is more daredevil though?
brain science sounds like a lot of boring sitting around room stuff. rocket surgery, i’m pretty sure, involves fixing an imperial-sized fuel pump with metric tools while ripping through the upper atmosphere and there’s 45secs till everybody dies.

“This actually happened to me, but it was with then-senator Pete Wilson. I missed the outrage part.”
Yeah, much as CNN wants this to be an issue I’m not seeing it. The employer is writing the check and isn’t asking anything unreasonable.
It’s not even news, other than some sort of TDS on display.
Well, I think it’s a bit unreasonable. I’m almost positive it would be out of scope of the employment contract, and being told you have to go or miss pay or use benefits would frustrate me.
Damn. Suthen is right. I should know not to believe anything CNN claims. The part of the memo I can read says it’s about overtime pay for attending the voluntary event.
They are contracted to get 56hr/week if the plant chooses to close for a campaign speech I don’t think the workers should lose those hours or be forced to do something not related to their job. The plant was closed so they couldn’t go to work as usual, it was Trump or stay home.
So I was right originally? It’s still CNNs fault cause the read more button wasn’t working!!!
That’s how it sounds to me there is a Pittsburgh Post Gazette article that makes it less murky.
Right or wrong I dunno, but they own the factory. If it breaks the conditions of their contract, sue.
Agreed.
True.
Those contracts typically guarantee 40 hrs, but the company can demand up to 56 hrs if needed (at time and a half) without having to beg the union to get the extra hours out of the workforce. Anything after 40 but less than 56 is usually at company discretion. Having read both articles, neither mentions a guaranteed 16 hrs overtime. They are either leaving that out intentionally because it hurts the narrative or it’s sloppy reporting.
Call it a trust building exercise.
Given the location and the workers involved, I’m guessing just about all of them were excited to participate, it was likely only a couple grumblers who notified the media. This isn’t exactly an event for subscribers of the NY Times.
Imagine what CNN is going to do when it finds out that unions take money out of workers’ paychecks to support political candidates.
Retired here, wife too. Yes, every day is a weekend day for us but I find ways to be productive…sometimes.
“Washington (CNN)Workers at the Pennsylvania petrochemical plant where President Donald Trump spoke Tuesday were told that if they didn’t attend the event, they either had to use paid time off or receive no pay for the day.”
Huh. I think what they said was if you want to take time to go to the Trump rally we will pay you. If you don’t go to the rally then show up for work as usual. Way to go CNN turning that on it’s head like that. What a bunch of mendacious shits they are.

Just overheard some free speech guy on tv just now. He caught my ear when he said “Antifa is emboldened because we are just being defensive. we aren’t taking the offense but that may change if they keep pushing.” And then something to the effect of if the cops wont do their job and root these people out we will do it ourselves.
‘if they keep pushing’ they mean keep exercising their right to freedom of speech and expression.
And it’s horseshit. They’re making things worse by fricken showing up to places they shouldn’t.

So this weekend (sorry to be OT so soon) we are without the Heir, as he is gone to his senior class retreat. *(huffs into paper bag: he texted me a few times, he’s fine, and the social worker sent me a text too to that effect, with a photo of him getting ready to swim with a cute girl).
To celebrate, yesterday we ended up with all Lord H’s ideas: let’s go for a swim ! Let’s take the dog to the dog park! Let’s go to this restaurant early like old people~ we even had a coupon!
Best part of the day was the dog park. She did GREAT! first time. I felt some nerves letting her leash off, but she sniffed, ran, frolicked appropriately with other dogs – and let other people touch her. This was great proof of how far she’s come in the last few months. She came when we called her, checked back on us without being called . . . it was like an amusement park for her. So glad we have been to training since April, it just made us learn about her, instead of hoping she’d learn on her own.
“and the social worker sent me a text too to that effect,”
Was he holding today’s newspaper?
Should he have been?
I thought it was standard for a proof of Life image.
I’ve had Wonder Dog at one of the local off-leash dog parks. They are much fun, so glad it worked out for you guys.
I brought treats – and pretty soon all the other dogs figured out I had them. It was like candy at Halloween, the dogs lined up . . . waited, took a treat, trotted off.
That’s awesome. Our local dog park has been a lifesaver. My lab can run all he wants and I don’t have to worry about him.
If you have a dog beach available give that a go. It’s what doggie heavan looks like.
This is good news.

This stuff might become a problem for us.
You mean that people might fake a file that says things you never said? I’m not too worried.
I’m not very worried; we use a neural-net-based denoiser in our software, and I was quite surprised with what it is able to do — but also what it is not.
It is truly amazing how it can remove noise from an image, but on the other hand, if the image was not generated using the specific set of algorithms for which it was trained, then it will completely fail — meaning, you give it two images, which look no different to you, and it fails horribly with one, and succeeds amazingly with the other.
My takeaway from this is that although it may be difficult for a human to detect AI-mimicry, it will not be difficult for a suitably-trained AI to do it, and furthermore that such a detector should be expected to both outperform a generator, and also to defeat entire classes of generators.

I’m sitting there minding my own when a guy who looks like Shaq’s bigger brother says “You want to see this black dick?”. I shake my head and hope there’s no uncertainty about it. “Well, turn around so I can take a piss”. He just wanted some privacy. Phew.

I spent Friday night in the country at my moms place and that triggered some allergy. I have no idea to what. Happened last two years in mid august. Goddamn it. It is complete bullshit to develop allergies after 33 fuckin years of none of them.I though you either get them at birth or are safe.

I love Hostas.
Who purposely kills hostas? You monster!
I suspect I have a drainage problem near a retaining wall. The flower bed at the base has gotten very wet and stays wet for a long time after rain. That’s where the dead hostas are.
Growing up if it was in the air I was allergic to it. I got allergy shots for 5 years to get better. Couple of years ago my doctor suggests I get tested for allergies. I’m thinking I’m good I got shots (containing minute amounts of what I was allergic to) to get rid of most of my allergies. Took the test. Nurse who gave me the test says she has never seen someone so allergic to what I was tested for. So I got my fingers crosses thinking she is young haven’t seen that many patients. So I went back to the much older doctor to get the results. He starts off by saying he has never seem somebody so allergic to what I was tested for. DAMMIT.
So as someone who is taking allergy shots for the second time, allergies change over time.

How this bartender took a no-nonsense approach to sexism
It’s called riding the NYC subway, fuckwit.
Anyway this guy is really awesome and you’re welcome ladies.

Being attractive is sexual harassment.
I’m sure that chick bartender’s top blouse button came undone inadvertently as she drew another draught of suds.

I read the article. I suspect he was shown the door and I suspect some of his “no nonsense approaches” were over-reactions.
Maybe work somewhere that doesn’t attract assholes?
I haven’t even read the article yet and I think he is both full of shit and an asshole.

Wasn’t there some Italian anti-defamation bruhaha over the Sopranos and Scorcese’s gangster movies? The Offend-o-lympics is eternal and knows no cultural barriers.
Hell yes, let’s Balkanize the population even further by pushing more grievance bullshit. And that wasn’t an ethnic slander, that was a correct assertion that Cuomo is a dumbfuck who overestimates his own intelligence and is also the less talented brother.
I remember there was a youtube or giff or something repeating

People should be nice to those people. Without Italians we would all have to run and jump up to get in our front doors. *Very old joke*
P Brooks = Mike M. imho
Wrong. Nice try, Jingler.
I still think that F. DeAnconia and Brooks are suspiciously similar…
You’re all Tulpa to me.
That’s exactly what Tulpa would say.
Same state. But it ends there. Brooks is taller and has far more hair. FdA isn’t flirting with Tulip, maybe because his wife is ruthless.
It seems only natural that Tulpa would be able to change form in meatspace.
Officials were not expected to release a toll until daytime Sunday. There was no immediate claim of responsibility, but both the Taliban and a local ISIS affiliate carry out bloody attacks in the capital.

Jedliczka says Colas pursued the project too quickly before fully investigating its cost effectiveness.
Of course they won’t. The government subsidized them. I’m surprised though that the French government only dumped 5 million euros into it. I was expecting more.

So what happened in Portland? Today’s AP story mentions that “far right” demonstrators were opposed by “anti-fascists.” The report claimed that the right wing protestors came from all over the country. The whole tone of the report was that decent people would naturally side with anti-fascists.

Stipe Miocic says he fought ‘like a b—h’ before Daniel Cormier knockout, regrets celebration
Ohioans are going to become even more insufferable. Stipe is the goat, though – what a fun fight.
His birthday is tomorrow like my youngest daughters.
“Ohioans are going to become even more insufferable”
Fake news!
He did fight like a bitch. Cormier was making it look way to easy.
Then again, body, body, body, body, body, body, HEAD is how jones knocked out Cormier,.
Remember kids, when in a professional cage fight put some effort into defending liver punches and kicks.
DC with the eye pokes again. Like DC, but I’m sick of that stuff. I’d love to see Stipe crush Jones, but Jones isn’t stupid enough to go up to heavy.
Not yet anyways. Eventually making weight becomes a fight in of itself. ie Cormier

Bernie has a plan
Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders unveiled Sunday a criminal justice overhaul to “reform every aspect of America’s dysfunctional criminal justice system” by ending “for-profit greed” in the system, expanding inmates’ rights and changing how policing works in the country.
According to the plan, if elected president, Sanders — who has long campaigned on ending for-profit prisons — would ban cash bail and civil asset forfeiture, as well as increase the number of public defenders and funding for them to better serve certain communities, according to the plan. He would also enact a “Prisoner Bill of Rights” for incarcerated people that includes rights to living wages and educational training, as well as the right to vote.
——
As part of his proposed criminal justice overhaul, Sanders aims to change the way policing works by “creating an unarmed civilian corp of first responders” that would respond to “low-level” issues like homelessness and mental health emergencies. He would also work to reduce the number of incidents of excessive police force by creating national standards for police that “emphasize de-escalation rather than violence.”
Sounds legit. Polish up your magic wand, Grandpa.
Oh, Bern. You do know you can’t possibly out-plan Liz, right?
“Polish up your magic wand, Grandpa.”
Phrasing?
It’s too Lithuanian?
“He would also enact a “Prisoner Bill of Rights” for incarcerated people”
He’ll just take some of them rights from people who are not incarcerated and give to them. There’s only so many rights government can hand out, we can’t afford it. I’ll take one first and second amendment away so we can have cable TV and free pr0n for prisoners.

A popular Cape Cod beach was closed to swimming for an hour after there was a confirmed attack on a seal by a great white shark Saturday morning.
The Atlantic White Shark Conservancy’s Sharktivity app said there was a confirmed sighting and seal attack just before 10 a.m. at Nauset Beach in Orleans.
This is the fourth time in as many days that a shark has been spotted at Nauset Beach.
The beach was closed for an hour Friday after a great white shark was seen by a spotter plane, Orleans officials said. The shark was reported to be 60 yards offshore in front of the main lifeguard stand, traveling north.
Oh, go on, you big sissy. That fish won’t hurt you.

Stunt man
White House hopeful Beto O’Rourke visited an Arkansas gun show Saturday to talk with firearm owners and vendors about solutions to tackle gun violence.
The visit comes one day after O’Rourke released a plan proposing a slate of gun control reforms and two weeks after a mass shooting in El Paso, Texas, where O’Rourke represented in Congress from 2013 to 2019.
“At the show, Beto listened to voters － including many Republicans who voted for Trump in 2016 － about their thoughts on gun safety. In order to make progress, Beto believes we have to meet people where they are, and not be afraid to have hard conversations with people who may not always agree,” O’Rourke’s campaign said in a statement.
——-
O’Rourke’s plan, which also includes platforms to combat white nationalism, calls for the creation of a nationwide gun licensing system and registry, universal background checks for gun purchases and implementing a gun buyback program and a federal “red-flag law” that would allow law enforcement to seize weapons from those a judge deems a danger to themselves or others.
O’Rourke’s campaign promoted interactions he had with gun show vendors and attendees who agreed with aspects of the plan, including a self-identified Trump voter who does not oppose a mandatory buyback program for assault rifles.
Nobody wants to take your guns away. We just want you to be free from fear. You have to buy a federal license to drive, right?
“and a federal “red-flag law”
That’s all they even need. It will be like the no-fly list only way more popular, no one will ever know how they got on it, even be able to ask, and will never be removed from it. The lefties will be recruiting and training thousands of people to make that call, #metoo on steroids. ‘He’s crazy, I saw him cat juggling in his back yard!’ *we’re here to get your guns, you crazy person, and if we’re lucky we might even find a marijuana cigarette while tearing your home apart*.
This shit should be setting off sirens for everyone in the country who actually owns a firearm.
What am I missing. A federal red flag law that does anything other than fund grants for state programs is structurally impossible.
a/ Congress can’t write any operational law that defines and directs the flow of actions because the structures, powers, and names of the state offices vary so much
b/ Congress won’t create a new bureaucracy that is large enough to do the work: special courts, magistrates, whatever would be thousands to empanel and pay.
I disagree. Any local judge could add someone to the FBI database of no-buy list. No new bureaucracy needed. It could consist of one or two sentences. You try to buy a gun, they do the background check and ‘sorry, no go for you’.
What it would certainly do is expand the black market for guns outside the craven criminal crowd to those who are now law abiding.
There is no part of this that is not evil.
Once again none of their proposals would have stopped any of the tragedies that they are soapboxing to push those proposals. They are so goddamned dishonest as to make this guy look like a paragon of truth:

1 minute to Wopner!
And then he paid homage, and kissed the ring
After visiting the gun show, O’Rourke spoke at a rally for gun control on the Capitol steps in Little Rock. He was the keynote speaker Saturday night at the Annual Clinton Dinner in Little Rock, CBS Little Rock affiliate KTHV reports.
I’m not 100% certain that’s going to help.
Last night someone made a bit of a snark about why young people are swayed by socialism and it hit me. Of course they are. They have’nt seen the effects of communism that we saw. The USSR was gone before most of them were born. For a few generations we have been saying and expecting our children to be better off than we were. A decade ago we began bemoaning that that would no longer be the case and that in fact they may be worse off. In some ways it is true but in the minds of the young who didn’t actually experience the life we had before them that might be magnified. We have also been raising scads of kids with the ‘everybody gets a trophy’ mentality on top of that. So I think there are more factors than just ‘I didn’t get what I wanted on a silver platter so daddy government needs to step in’ (which was the accurate comment, I don’t remember who) attitude. A lot of factors contributed to that attitude and coupled with economic realities and lack of experience it seems pretty clear to me how we got here. A pretty convincing argument could be made that we failed them in ways that made the allure of socialism inevitable.
