I used to work overnights and that is exactly what happened. In fall you work an extra hour and get an hour of overtime. In spring your shift would be an hour shorter. The company I worked for still paid us that hour so we got paid for an hour we didn't actually work which was nice.

Tremors

Looks like a B movie, cheesy horror flick.

It's got a great cast with supurb acting. The script is easily one of the tightest ever written. Every line is important to the overall story. And it's just fun to watch.

Conservatives are always finding new ways to make children afraid of going to school.

And Nixion didn't have a public tantrum about it because Nixon had more class and was a better person than Trump.

And I don't mean that in a good way.

Clinton might have done things that were a lot worse. They should release the Epstein files so we can all check.

I honestly don't understand why they don't do that all the time.

He probably thinks that Alaska is on the far left and Russian is on the far right because he doesn't understand globes.

Someone who is nice to you but rude to the wait staff is not a nice person.

I'm sure she was perfectly lovely to her neighbors. I'm also sure she is normally awful to those she perceives as beneath her.

This should be a thing. Every time something horrific happens it needs to be labeled as "Trump's America."

And I don't mean things like natural disasters. Increases in hate, poverty, brutality. Things that Trump stands for and causes.

Maybe lead and micro-plastics? But that's just a guess.

Overriding or adjusting payment isn't an edge case. The article says the reason they refused was company policy. They had the option and said no.

If you work for a company that has a 401k then you need to sign up for it. If the company has a match percentage then that is the absolute minimum you should contribute. And when you are younger you should set it up as a Roth so you pay taxes on it now.

This isn't a thing you should do at a certain age. The younger you start the better. The money just comes out of your paycheck, same as taxes.

Plus a microchip in case something happens to the tag. That way any vet can identify your dog and get you reunited.

The picture in the article is him as Gurney in Dune.

Since you are a fan of the books and you have already seen the first one, you should watch it, even you were disappointed with part one. You may find you like or you might be just as disappointed. Either way, it's about a 3 hour commitment. If you don't like it, don't watch it again. If you do, you've found a movie you enjoy.

Really bad take. All stories borrow elements from other stories but this took it to a rediculous level.

Saying that Star Wars stole from Dune because both Paul and Luke are names that appear in the Bible or because they both used electric binoculars is nuts. And that's just a couple examples.

Yup. Trump wasn't corrupted by power. He was corrupt before the power.
