In my last job when I started I would log in as soon as I got there and if I had anything to finish up I would do it before I left. I didn't mind as I'm a team player. This resulted in me doing 20- 30 mins a day unpaid but I liked the company and liked a clear desk. Fast forward 2 years and my father in law was terminally ill. We got a call from the hospital telling us we had to get there ASAP as he didn't have long left. I told my manager and left at 3.45 (core hours were 10-4) the next month my pay was docked for half a day. I had already made 2 hrs extra unpaid that week but they told me they couldn't make exceptions and the extra I did was my own decision. Allllrighty then! I came in on the dot and left in the dot. I did this for 5 years, I worked to the letter of my contracted hours. My manager was talking to a new starter and in my earshot she told him she hated 'clockwatchers' who left on the dot as this doesn't show company loyalty. I leaned over and replied loyalty works both ways and being docked half a days pay for attending the death bed of a beloved family member when I'd already done more than my weekly hours was cruel and unfeeling. So I show the company the same level of compassion they showed me. After all rules are rules and exceptions cannot be made. The new starter started on the dot and left on the dot as did the whole staff. I dread to think how many extra hours they lost over the whole department over the next few years.
I worked for a hotel chain restaurant as a busboy, and had lots of other little side jobs besides working the floor, mostly helping to move stock off of pallets and stuff like that. Sometimes I would clock out a little late if shipments came in later or it was a busy day + large shipment always guaranteed another hour on the clock.
We got a new manager who looked at my timecard during her first fortnight as a new manager. She was real aggressive with me, asking me why I clocked out so late, like "So what's up, you're playing video games on the clock for an hour? Hm? You just hanging out getting paid?" (The rec room had video games). I explained that I was unloading pallets and she said "you're a busboy, that's not your job. You clock out at 9. We have a payroll to make and we can't do it with people working extra hours because they didn't work hard enough during their shift."
OK, fine.
Finally, about a month later, it was summertime, and we get this really late delivery of a bunch of dairy items. The head chef received all, and then had me start unloading it. This is at 8:45PM. I told him, "Chef, just to be clear, Miss Weatherbee said that I have to clock out at 9."
Chef: "Well, I need this thing unloaded."
Me: "I've got 15 minutes and then I get in trouble if I'm not clocked out."
Chef: "Do your best."
8:46PM, go get the dolly. The dolly was taken by the banquet people, so I find it and start moving stuff.
8:53, first load on the dolly.
8:58, unloaded and back to the pallet.
At 8:59, I stopped what I was doing, left it all there, and walked directly to the punch card machine. 9PM on the dot, I punched out.
The next day I got a call from the HOTELS GENERAL MANAGER, asking me why I left all the dairy on the pavement. It was left out overnight, and hundreds of dollars worth of stock was spoilt.
"Yes, I had to clock out at 9PM."
GM: "Did you think it was a good idea to leave the milk outside?"
Me: No.
GM: Then help me understand why you didn't put everything away.
Me: Miss Weatherbee was very specific that I was not to clock out late to unload pallets. She said that's not my job.
GM: Did it occur to you that the Chef needed to know this?
Me: I told him I needed to clock out at 9pm.
GM: We've lost hundreds of dollars and wasted all this food.
Me: I would like to go back to the way it was, instead of having to clock out right at 9pm on my evening shifts.
GM: Don't do this again, clock out when the job's done.

For reference, I'm talking about the model where an observer inside a train shines a light upwards, and the light ray follows a symmetrical, triangular path back to the emitter. Now, for me, that would make perfect sense if it was, say, a basketball. Since the ball is travelling on 'top' of the train's frame of reference, as soon as we throw it upwards, it has some horizontal momentum that will also carry it forward in a parabolic trajectory (according to an outside, stationary observer). Assuming no wind resistance and no acceleration of the train after releasing the ball, it should end up right back at the observer's hands -- who would only perceive the ball going upwards.
After reading about simultaneity and Einstein's postulates, I would expect the light ray to just travel upwards and stay behind the observer. Although photons have a momentum, they can't be 'carried forward' by the light emitter, thus they shouldn't have a horizontal velocity component.
Everything else makes sense to me, and I can follow the math that arises and leads to time dilation and the gamma factor. I'd still like to gain a more clear understanding of this model, though.
Hey again, I deleted my previous post as it was poorly written and I actually figured out how to write a function for a analog clock. Now I need to write another function and the question is as follows (its translated from German so if something is unclear just ask me) " Write another function which for a time in the format h, m with an integer Hour and broken minute (e.g. 5:23:15 corresponds to h = 5 and m = 23:25) outputs the (smaller, positive) angle between the two pointers".
Looking through the internet, it seems I need to use
angle = atan2(norm(cross(a,b)),dot(a,b));
as many sites I have seen posted this kind of code. However, I'm not entirely sure how I bring in the h (hours) and m (minutes) into this function. Does somebody have a tip so I can proceed?
Thanks in advance
Hi synth friends,
I got a new hydrasynth explorer and it's sound very nice, but I got some problems in my clocking setup. Here what I have Boss Rc 300 - - - - midi---alesis hr 16---midi--- Hydrasynth----clock cable----volca beats So my problem is that the volca loses beat match sometimes in a session so I think the problem is the hydra it loses beat sync for just a second and the volca struggles. Anyone has a idea, or waiting for Bugfix. Why on earth the hydra don't send clock via midi out that's really frustrating. Full package synth but this little things they don't implemented. Thanks
Hello everyone.
So I bought a MSI PRO Z690-A DDR4 motherboard, an i7 12700KF and 32 GB Corsair Vengeance 3200MHZ RAM.
I installed a clean Windows 11 Pro and everything was fine until I checked the CPU clock.
It's at 4.9 GHZ and stays that way all of the time. The temps are good ( 25 idle, 45 when gaming).
At first I thought there was an issue with the XMP profile, so I reset the bios to default settings and didn't change anything. Still the same, 4.9 GHZ when idling.
When I enter BIOS it says that the clock speed is 3.6 GHZ as it should be, but as soon as I boot into Windows that changes.
I tried looking for some setting that could be causing this issue but couldn't find anything. I tried updating BIOS to the latest version, that did not help either.
I checked with the NZXT CAM app, with CPU-Z, MSI Afterburner and HW monitor. They all report the same, all cores at 4.9 GHZ.
I cannot find any info or anyone with this same issue.
Any help would be appreciated.
I've recently been having problems with my GPU (RTX 3070 Mobile in an Aorus 15P XD) being stuck at idle speed (210 Mhz). I managed to fix it once by reinstalling the driver but from what I've read in the Nvidia forums it might be an issue with windows 11. Does anybody know if it is really windows 11 or is it something else? I have tried things like resetting the driver with the shortcut, changing Nvidia control panel settings, and reinstalling the drivers but none of them were permanent fixes. I'm willing to stay with windows 11 if there is a simple fix or if it will be patched soon but it seems like my only choice is to go back to windows 10. What are your thoughts?
Hello, I recently got a microfreak and I've been trying to sync it up to play with my friends drum machine (volca drums). I'm using the clock out on the volca and clock in on the microfreak, and I'm trying to run the arpeggiator and sequencer. Is there any way to change the arpeggiator subdivision? When the microfreak is using the internal clock I can set the arpeggiator subdivision rate, but when I sync it up to the drum machine clock changing the subdivision doesn't seem to work. If I use the microfreak as the master clock, I can get the subdivisions to change, but the drums only trigger when I am actively playing an arp/sequence. I would like to be able to eventually use this in a larger context where it doesn't make sense having the microfreak be the master clock as this, and I can't figure out a way around this. Ideally, I want to be able to have the drums going all the time and play the arp on top. If anyone can help me with this I would appreciate it.
CLARITY EDIT / tldr: I have my microfreak synced to an external drum machine, but the arp only triggers in 1/8th notes. Can I set it to to 1/16th notes or anything else?
I have a 2011 CRV with Navigation build in and after the new year itβs started acting up. It thinks itβs Jan. 1, 2002 and this date hasnβt changed. The clock is set to a new time every time i start the car. If i try to adjust the time it just picks a new random time to show. Very confusing! Not sure if i should have my battery checked or update the navigation system. Any help?
My dick sticks straight up when itβs hard, like against my stomach. I can push it away from me, but AT MOST I can push it to a 90 degree angle before I feel like itβs gonna break. I canβt lie on my back and be ridden, and I canβt do doggy style cuz my dick wonβt stick out far enough. If youβre a guy Iβm curious what angle feels normal for you? If youβre standing, can your dick go parallel with the floor or even slightly downward? Or is it normal to be too stiff and stick upward? How can I fix this?
