If your dog is ever running and you can't catch them act hurt. Pretend to fall and hurt your knee. Most likely it will come back and check on you and you grab it, unless it's playing with something else then good luck

So one of the reasons I'm moving is to get away from this. I have this intersection by my apartment. A few hundred feet behind the assassin is a highway intersection, and the road the victim is coming from has 4 huge apartment complexes.

There is no light. Making a left there(which leads to a outdoor mall) during rush hour requires atleast 3 virgin sacrifices...

It’s either from a non-English speaker or Ai.

They swapped the wrong words.

I’m not a lawyer but my understanding is that determination comes down to 3 points.

  1. An employee uses company tools and materials. A contractor supplies there own. If Amazon supplies a truck I think this would lean towards employee.
  2. A employee has set working hours. A contractor sets there own hours. I think this leans more on contract cause I thought the point of flex was you make your own hours.
  3. An employee can only work for one company at a time. I don’t mean you can’t have 2 jobs but you only can do one at a time.

Are you allowed to be both Amazon flex and work for like UPS?

I agree and disagree. I am also a software developer atleast in title(mostly do validation stuff). The issue in the factory I work is almost everything has “software”. Almost everything there is based in software, the operators are really only there mostly to put the part in the right place and sometimes plug it in. I could hire almost anyone do those jobs so the pay will always suck. Yes I respect them but mostly the job just requires a pair of working hands. Pure software companies may be different but I still think the only field to grow and have decent pay will be helping to automate stuff.

The other thing I noticed is the younger generation seem to be less experienced with computers.

Yes they have used computers most of their lives but when I talk to interns for example the number of them who don’t know what the POST on a computer is or how to use a command line is astounding.
