"Cascading burning diesel fuel..." Stop it, you're makin' me hot.

Don't you kind of expect that there's going to be some of that on a US-based site with a largely US-based membership? Don't be like my countrymen who travel abroad and complain that nobody speaks English.

No vaccine is 100% effective, so some people who are vaccinated will catch the disease. Since the vast majority of people are vaccinated, it's no surprise that most of the victims were vaccinated.

Well, you could:

(1) Not give your boss the number. Grapple the expectation head-on.
(2) Give your boss the number with the caveat that at some places the reception really sucks. "Gee, boss, sorry I missed your call. I must have been in a dead spot!"
(3) Get a Google Voice number, and give that to your boss. It's up to you whether or not you forward it to your phone.

Now, that is a good idea.

I wish I had mod points so I could rate this Funny.

On the off chance that you are serious, I suspect that the fraction of employers who would welcome such an arrangement is very low, especially if it were an open-ended arrangement. I imagine everybody would be much more comfortable if you start the new job later, and give extended notice at the old job.

"We're hoping to reach a whole new audience of people, some of whom will be shocked by graphic images that maybe they didn't anticipate seeing when they went to the PETA triple-X site."

Fighting with a tsuba-less sword would be folly.

Besides, Beatrix Kiddo: tsuba. O-Ren Ishii: no tsuba. Who got the top inch of her skull lopped off?

On topic, I LOVE Star Wars. I even loved the prequel trilogy, except for Jar-Jar.

I also loved Scalzi's article, and the article in Cracked about the blunders (like, why didn't the Death Star just blow up Yavin and let the blast wave take care of the rebel base on its moon?) Folks need to be lightening up.
