Not US.
Never heard of 100% taxing here, what I have seen is raises and promotions ending up in a slightly smaller paycheque. Whether that’s due to other factors such as a higher misaligned bracket of state medical insurance or benefits, union fees, I’m not entirely sure, it was more of a warning to watch your first couple of paycheques after a raise.
There is no way this is true NOW.
When I grew up in the 90s this was the case, I lived in a household with a chronically ill parent and was told this by healthcare providers. That’s why I used the word historically, but obviously I should have been more clear.
Trades ringing in, that’s my theory, too.
I won’t commit to saying I can do something professionally unless I’m damned fucking sure I can, because any small failures will become glued in everyone’s memories, kind of like me being around at all tends to stand out. It’s exhausting.
If this is from one of those phone surveys, then the only people answering the phones and actually doing them are boomers. Highly suspect numbers.
I don’t know anyone that actually answers those surveys, even the people that initially pick up the phone.
I think these people are dumb as rocks myself, but it’s interesting to wonder why the bad decisions are made.
NSR I believe has a policy of not charging the costs of the rescues to those they pull off the mountains, to not discourage people calling for help when they really need it, but I’m sure that’s a struggle to justify some days.
When I clear a few time-sensitive projects, a Jellyfin deep dive is probably in the works.
Then yeah, the waiting on the vet sucks but is the best plan. He may need an anti-nausea med. Call them if the email hasn’t been answered by a reasonable time (say after 4-6 hours of their posted opening time today.) Emails are less time sensitive than a phone call.
Food can be swapped or supplemented with plain baked or boiled chicken, rice, and puréed pumpkin (NOT pie filling!) if they’ll take it.
That being said, when I tried to change my country, it started pulling this loop of taking me to new Reddit layout to change my country, then when I switched back to old Reddit view it blanked my choice, which by their documentation probably means IP address location. Repeated that about 3 times before I gave up.
A very convenient technical glitch there….
The newest Passats I’ve seen in Canada are mk5s I think (2005-2010 or something like that). Most common is the previous gens, which is not common at all.
It’s much, much easier to find and afford a small SUV/crossover than a station wagon body style in North America.
Spite is my best motivator, even better than novelty! Almost as good as object panic!
I get that vibe way more from riding a motorcycle than driving a car. Cars are way too insulated from the rest of the road these days, especially with automatic transmissions. I find myself drifting pretty easily in a modern automatic car.
I’ll hold on to my stick shift with my rigor mortis if I can!
They’ll find that most of the peeps keeping the automation from turning itself inside out are also workers, and currently not amused in many cases.
