For a sec I thought this was a chrorpleth of how much people were paid to make choropleths

Thanks for the suggestion I’ll follow it up!

Thanks, I hate it

Use a piece of leather or some multiple sheets of masking tape

I think the issue is Apple guards their wallet so tightly that basically no jurisdiction can get their IDs in it

I think it depends. If it’s a quick thing that requires no clarification, email or text all the way. But if you need to tease out fine details, a phone call is much faster and easier.

In my country, 2G phones could interfere with radios with that da-dada-da-dada sound. I know people who have personally had that happen to them while trying to land airliners and it made listening to ATC more difficult.

I don’t think it’s an issue anymore though.

I will in the US as per your country’s unfortunate custom. But at home? Fuck no.

This. I’m happy with weekend surcharges, so long as that’s going to the staff being paid properly. If you want staff to get paid better, do what literally every other workforce does and bake it into your business.

Anyone marking an assignment with a TurnItIn report, who is also in possession of half a brain, knows to read through the report and check where the matches are coming from. A high similarity score can come about for many reasons, and in my experience most of those reasons are not due to cheating.

How’s BYD going? They seem unstoppable
