What’s the teapot a reference to?

Sopuli.xyz/c/aneurysmposting comes close (sorry, can’t remember the proper formatting for sharing community links.)

I got that reference! Surprised to see it out in the wild.

They’re complaining that their admission of being wrong was getting downvoted, not about the main post.

I guess it depends on the employer. I don’t do office work myself, but according to what I’ve heard from my wife about her jobs in banking adjacent fields, she has a few different queues of things to do that everyone takes from.

The way you phrased this could go either way: were you never taking on more work, no matter how obviously it needed to get done, just because you weren’t explicitly told to do that job? Because that would be a fair criticism in my estimation.

That’s not what they are saying at all. They’re saying small vehicles aren’t even safe in crashes with other small vehicles, let alone with bigger vehicles.

Mind explaining why?

Obviously, it would still be stacked against the employee, but the biggest thing would be that the person under investigation could sue the law firm and hurt the law firm and their client through social media or by encouraging unionization if there was any proof of misconduct during the investigation.

Why?

Context is important. Literally the next couple verses in both passages say something along the lines of "The disciples asked, ‘Then who can be saved?’ Jesus said, ‘With people it is impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God.’ "

According to the Lexham Bible Dictionary, “most scholars reject this interpretation because the meager textual evidence most likely can be attributed to speculations about this verse by some church fathers.”

According to the Lexham Bible Dictionary, this interpretation “dates back to the fifth century and suggests that kamelos, the Greek word for camel, should actually be read as kamilos, which denotes a rope or a ship’s anchor cable. … However, most scholars reject this interpretation because the meager textual evidence most likely can be attributed to speculations about this verse by some church fathers (Origen, Cyril of Alexandria; see Fitzmyer, Luke, 1204; Barclay, Matthew, 239).”

They also disagree with the gate interpretation, saying that “Scholars have found no historical foundation for this view, and no evidence supports the existence of such a small gate in Jerusalem’s walls.”

Just because you shouldn’t trust them doesn’t mean you’re not allowed to interact with them. It just means you need to be careful.

“Only” 1 in a hundred Americans are PhDs? Thats far higher than I would have expected.

A few things to remember to add:

1. False positives
2. Abandoned utilities
3. Utility maps and GPS coords that were never made, were never updated, or are flat out wrong
4. Contractors who will make every excuse and lie about what happened
5. Random people asking if your digging for gold and worried if you’re going to tear up their lawn

That’s neat but it also seems a bit bulky.

Ouch, that hurt my soul. Good job.

What does this have to do with Nascar? Is it just because of all the advertisements on the side?
