I have to interview tomorrow for a position (internal transfer) that will probably triple my pay (it isn't a fixed rate position, but it averages to around three times what I make currently), or double it if I decide to work only part time. I feel no anxiety about this whatsoever, and am more concerned about the hassle that going from an 8 hour workday to a 12-hour one for one day is going to cause.

Also, wow, the comments on that article are pretty toxic. What kind of readerbase does that site have?

'Internet article comments' is a synonym for toxic, you know.

Best of luck.

It's a local/regional news outlet, so you're looking at mostly northern Kentucky/southern Indiana.

Also, unless I miss my mark, one of the major commentators on that story is the wife of the guy who shot the drone down.

I just spent about 15 seconds just staring at the News section on top of here...  Before it clicked.

Wondering why the link was the wrong color, eh?

Same here actually, lol!

Also, minor wtf/annoyance: Wikipedia being a bit obnoxious with the 'we need funding please' popup. At least it still only appears once and you can close it and it stays that way.

[Aklyon]

Its exactly the same size of obnoxiousity as last year, I think.

[H4zardZ1]

This website just oozes bad design from every pore, both technical [DETAIL] and visual [DETAIL].

WTF in a different meaning: Facepalm-worthy.

Well in all fairness the US being in cahoots with a major terrorist organization isn't unusual.

The Taliban? they were in cahoots with the USA
Sadam in the Membrane? USA

It's a shame we don't have more world leaders willing to enforce their moral superiority.

Isn't that... all of them?

We would have to create more countries.

[Orange Wizard]

Sorry, I'll rephrase.

It's a shame we don't have more world leaders successful at violently enforcing their moral superiority on everyone else.

[Neonivek]

Is there a Party Mix that exists where everything is good?

There is always a reject chip in all party mixes I've seen.

Also I saw a few snippets of "Unfriended" a terrible movie with an interesting gimmick.

But I don't know why... but one of the major thoughts I had was "Wow, that blender is amazing! I've had mine fail at chopping up refrigerated butter"
