  I’m a federal employee. Everyone falls in one of three categories: Exempt, Excepted, Non-Excepted.

  Exempt people are expected to come to work normally and they are paid normally. They probably don’t really see a change.

  Non-Excepted people are furloughed. They were sent home Wednesday morning and will wait it out doing whatever they’d like and they will get all wages that were missed when everything is over. They will be paid for doing nothing.

  Excepted people have the worst of both worlds. They have to come to work because they’ve been deemed critical but won’t get paid for it until its over. I’m in this category. I’m doing my job but im taking my time to accomplish anything.

  The law that governs this is the “Government Employee Fair Treatment Act” of 2019.

  I can understand the frustration on most of your points except on this one:

  …functionality that requires that phones have a glass back…

  My Galaxy S24 has a metal back and wilelessly charges without issue.

  You’ve just described the protagonists in most games.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨should I apologize to this friendly manager I had an argument with?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree. If you were wrong apologize. If the manager is as good as you’re describing it will go well.

  You need some ointment for that sick self burn?

  No, no. ‘Aaaauugggh’, at the back of the throat. Aaauugh.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Samsung brings ads to US fridges⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As a reminder, just because the appliance you bought offers an internet connection, it most likely doesn’t need it for core functionality. Your smart fridge can’t get an update if it can’t talk to Samsung.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Samsung brings ads to US fridges⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Wonderful! I’ll take two.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft still can't convince folks to upgrade to Windows 11⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I ran POP-OS for about six months a couple of years ago and ended up switching back to Windows because there were too many compromises. Recently I tried it again with the same problems but jumped to Bazzite instead. It fixed most of my issues but I didn’t like the limitations imposed by the guardrails it put in place to make things easy. I then switched to Fedora since that is Bazitte’s base and haven’t looked back. The only issue I’ve had is the video drivers didnt install right automatically but the fix was three well documented commands.

  After we pump another hundred trillion dollars and half the electricity generated globally into AI you’re going to feel pretty foolish for this comment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DIY restaurant⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Medium, of course. If I wanted it raw or burnt I’d do it myself.

  Why would I want torque resistance at work? Getting torque is the only reason I have a job.

  Are you a transplant here or something? Those answers are all clearly side-by-side Liberty toes. Real Americans are born with that knowledge.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are they even doing this, the grass wasn't even that tall⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I used to mow starting no later than 830. I did it because that the only way to get done before it gets stupid hot.

  Now I pay someone to do it and they typically do it Sunday afternoons.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are they even doing this, the grass wasn't even that tall⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I get extra man points by shaving with one!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨monthly challenge⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Seatbelt cutters kind of have a sixth sense about who they’re supposed to be with and will seek out those in need.

  Bold of them to assume copper thieves can read.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Battlefield 6 cheats day 1 of early access. Depite kernel level anti cheat, forced secure boot TPM 2.0⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Indirectly buyers are making a decision on anticheat. If someone buys a game with anticheat, they’ve made the decision to reward the developer for making the decision to include anticheat.

  I’ve tried mewing at that guy’s grass clippings to see if I could speed up the process. There wasn’t a noticeable difference.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Every female Democrat presidential nominee has resulted in a Donald Trump presidency⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t forget that while Harris didnt win the popular vote, neither did Trump.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you reconcile staying sane while keeping yourself up-to-date with the news?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sometimes its ok to skip a day off news. If I’m feeling beat up just from my normal day I might not have the endurance to take in the news too. So I skip it on those days.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Everything is a problem⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And if it does need internet to function…I’m going to try to not buy it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Americans Can’t Buy the World’s Best Electric Car⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The program started under W and ended under Obama and I think at the end the government actually made money off the deal.

  Don’t confuse this with the COVID PPP loans that were given out by Trump, forgiven by Trump, and then had a lot of the records about them destroyed by Trump.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My world is so much better because of immigrants⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Besides all of that valid stuff, immigration is the only reason the US doesn’t have slowing/declining population numbers like many developed countries now have.
