    It looks like the average is 11 PTO days a year according to Forbes, with nearly a third of employees getting zero. I myself get 24 days a year with it going up to 29 in about a year. That said I’m terrified of being effed over by layoffs so I’ve been hoarding them like a dragon for the payout, which is arguably way way worse than having a nice federal minimum of PTO days.







  • I believe sometimes bad actors will purchase goods from themselves using illegally obtained payment information and then actually send the goods to the victim to try to argue against the chargeback and/or make the victim think “hmm maybe I did order this…”. Or they could be trying to make their devices less likely to trip fraud detection systems for a larger haul. Not sure how well this all works though. With more expensive things (phones, TVs, etc.) I’d think they’re planning on swiping the package before you get it, but with coffee I’d be shocked if that was the plan.







  • I have one of those. I spent most of my life confused why when I scratched my left ear, it made a waxy feeling in my throat and made a horrible smell, but nothing like that happened with my right ear. After I got married, my wife asked if she could “pop the pimple on my ear”, and she squeezed around that sinus and it oozed this horrible white goo.
