Reply to comment by flutterbyasaurus in LPT: turn off "auto display images" in your email to stop hidden read receipt trackers by flutterbyasaurus
This is true, but with a caveat.
They don't block them. But they do route all images through proxy services. Because of that, the sender can see that the image was in fact opened, and if it is truly unique to your email they can see that someone (presumably you if you're the only one they sent it to) opened it. But they will not see your IP and thus be able to derive where you were when you opened it.

Labour laws vary depending on your location and if you have a contract or other working agreement - you would first have to ask your HR department and confirm with local laws.

Duck.Com has free email addresses that strip out trackers before forwarding to your main address. They also report how many trackers were found.

Think of it this way. If you're suing me, and you send my attorney a settlement proposal. If you see no evidence that the attorney forwarded it around, a reasonable assumption is that I wrote it off quickly. Don't assume it's definite but it's workable information to inform your decisions on the case.
More to the point, if you see that email has gone to 5 other people in the firm, and an IP address registered to my insurance company, you can infer that they're evaluating it for potential settlement or at least a counter-offer.

LPT: Ask your boss. Answering questions about leave or pay issues is literally his job.

Clarify with your boss, but I believe in many cases you can get holiday pay or use PTO on days you should have off to get some sweet, sweet overtime

Reply to LPT: When you get a new lock, buy a new house, or something like that always save one of the keys for future copies. This can be the safety key you leave with someone, but the point is never to use it, so when you do wear down your key, you make a replacement with the pristine one. by pSilver68932
Someone doesn't know how locks and keys work.

This is so legit. If something is so important, someone will tell you and then you can decide to read about it or not.

Reply to comment by vertmart in LPT if you struggle with depression or other disorders preventing ADLs, you don't have to eat a full meal or even get into the shower in order to have tiny successes. by nip_pickles
Maybe give protein powder a try, I use pea plant protein mixed in coffee and it tastes alright, fills me up, and is an easy meal

All kinds of kitchen supplies will burn. They aren't putting them over the gas flame. Flur is highly flammable should we keep that out of the kitchen too? This is a helicopter parent warning.

I'm going to try having baby wipes and baby powder in my dorm room. Depression has been hitting hard, and I try to shower, but I only end up showering around 4 times a week. It's really hard to do things, even if I know its better for me.

Unfortunately, your food advice does not work for me, as I am a fat ass who has issues with eating on the exact opposite spectrum.

Reply to comment by Emp-Ape in LPT: If someone shows you their art, find at least one detail you enjoy: by Grass1323
This is great! I've always wondered about the process of creating art that is so bad it wraps around and becomes very interesting. Like watching a car crash. How long did this take? 16 hours!? How many of those hours were spent staring off into space? Could you explain why you kept going instead of trashing it at like hour two?

Sorry, photos are not the way to remember people and things. Please grow memories, not photo albums.

Ask for clarification but it sounds like they're asking if you'd rather get bonus PTO or get the Thanksgiving pay.
