What's your opinion:
If you're applying for a job at a large corporate firm, in the section "Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability" - do you think it makes you more or less likely to get an interview if you say you have a disability?
In theory it shouldn't change anything, but in reality... what do you think the net outcome is?
- Probably makes no difference as long as said disability doesn't prevent you from doing the jobspl33nidoru
- In which case, is it even worth mentioning ?spl33nidoru
- Those are mandatory questions in the US.zarkonite
- I would ignore the question entirely. Nobody needs to know about my giant, unwieldy penisscarabin

The other morning, up the stairs, Alexa was talking alone, and our devil black cat was staring at her. I jumped from the studio to the kitchen for a coffee, where the echo dot is at; she stopped talking and the cat turned and looked at me like I was interrupting something...
I was terrified, the stupid machine can communicate with our cat, they're up to something!!
Tried not to make eye contact with the cat all the morning. In lunch-time, when I told my wife the story, she started laughing like crazy.
"She was reminding us of our nephew's birthday!!"
"Yes ok, surely you are right...* "

The laundry room for my apartment is in another building, just out back, and as you walk in there is a cabinet for clothes that people have forgot or left - odd socks and whatnot - and on top people leave books they no longer want, kinda friendly like - all types - audiobook cd's, cookbooks, fiction, kid's story books, whatever. This morning I go in to start my wash and someone has left a hardback Gregory Crewdson collection. Bet your golden, hotpant-clad ass I am having that.

A week ago I was still wearing shorts each day but now I'm hunkered over an oil heater with a jeans and a thermal on and I had to wear a heavy jacket to come into work and was sodden by the time I got in.
Bugger. Winter came fast.

Though, TBH, summer in Bavaria wasn't very convincing to begin with this year.Continuity - Same. From shorts to shirt w/vest in a pair of days. Thanks god the robins are back to our garden :)OBBTKN

When someone asks yo auto expand on a topic, reply:
"I can speak about that..."
or
"I can speak to that...."
Seems the modern way is to say 'to' instead 'about'. How can you speak to a topic? You can speak 'about' it to someone, no?

Backing up from a machine that only has USB2.
Second tranche - 92,642 items. I've still got two more lots to do after that too.
This is going to be a tedious afternoon.

- is it a Windows machine? you could just open it up and hook up an SATA drive directly.zarkonite
- prob is I'm consolidating all my internal drives to one USB-only external (to start again and also have off-site backup) - never thought when I bought USBNairn
- tbh, 80% of it could probably get binned without any consequence. The problem there is the 'probably' not being 'definitely'.Nairn
- It's amusing to me how small this little drive is,compared to the four internal drives and all the old externals I have, yet is still bigger in capacity.Nairn
- AND is powered entirely off a single USB. All my externals require an additional power source (thereby implying how old they are haha)Nairn

Any of you use room air purifiers?
I just finished my usual Sunday housework and, like always, I was shocked by the sheer amount of dust that settles on surfaces after just a week.
So, I'm thinking of getting something like this:
https://www.mediamarkt.de/de/pro…
Do they help? Should I even bother?
- Yes. Run a good filter for a few hours and you smell and feel the difference.nb
- That seems overpriced. Get an ugly dumb powerful one.nb
- (Probably does nothing against Covid.)nb
- Haha! I don't need it to suck up Covid, I just need it to help with the amount of dust I have to clean off surfaces every week.Continuity
- mediamarkt is only good to look up the product, everything is overpriced with a decent 15-20% minimum marginsted
- I bought two these, really good.
https://www.amazon.c…utopian - I have had the Levoit Air Purifiers for over a year because of my seasonal allergies, they really helped a lot.utopian
- Thanks fellas, I'll have to look into it. Bonus points if one of these things could help me not wake up every fucking morning all congested.Continuity
- Make sure it's an ionizer.sea_sea
- For allergen, get HEPA filter for air purifier. For your dust problem airpurifier won't help much. You need to take a look at your air duct and furnance filter.pango
- No air ducts, and it's hot water heat through a radiator.Continuity
- Replacement filters are expensive. You should just be regularly dusting, sweeping, vacuuming. Then use the hepa filter to purify the air.nb
- Just clean your room guynb
- I do, once a week!Continuity
- +1 for Levoit. I also have Awair that integrated with humidifier through IFTTT to level humidityzaq
- maybe you just live in a dusty area. shut all your windows.pango
- I have two Phillips ones in our home, we are really clean but the hepa filters get heavy with fine dust every 6 months. The replacement filters are $50slappy
- Dust comes from 3 place: pollution/constructi... outside, clothes you wear and your skin. Solution = close windows, be naked, use moisturiser.shapesalad

I checked today on COTD thread and have to ask what the f is going on there?
Is there an anti-NBQ00 thing going on?
And I'm not even talking about his posts...cause I'm pretty sure if someone posted half of what he posts they wouldn't be downvoted.
So what's the story?- https://www.qbn.com/…sted
- seriously?! no, he's getting downvotes way before that post.oey_oey
- in that post he opens up and doesn't act like an asshole at all.oey_oey
- he thanks everybody for the advice and sounds pretty sincere.oey_oey
- someone judges him for being something but that person too checks COTD so?oey_oey
- there must be something else, it feels a bit like bullying for me somehow.oey_oey
- It is bullying, however some users are a bit butthurt by the existence of the COTD thread so he (NBQ) is an easy target as he posts in it.PonyBoy
- It's easy to feel 'justified' in your bullying / hate when you get a lil QBN mob to join in w/you. NBQ00's a big boy though... handles it well.PonyBoy
- so they check on COTD just to downvote? that's really childish. why not doing some constructive shit like promoting feminism?oey_oey
- I would like to see that but I also quit that thread cause some people's comments and posts are worse than posting a picture on COTD...oey_oey
- whatever, it seems he can handle it. I was just curious, I don't really want to start a discussion and be judging people though I did a bit as a reaction.oey_oey
- my posts get downvote as well I just don't post as often.pango
- https://media4.giphy…sted
- To be fair everyone else gets downvote as well. He just posts more often than everyone.pango
- awwwww bullied T_T
https://i.pinimg.com…pango - NBQ / chukkaphob gets downvoted because he posts basic, dehumanized sexual treacle. i only downvote him when it's egregious, however.sarahfailin
- "cause I'm pretty sure if someone posted half of what he posts they wouldn't be downvoted"

eBay is useless now. Before it was antiques, used junk, rare items of joy.
It's essentially now: warfair + amazon + alibaba + a bit of old junk.
