Working Time Directive Puns

I've been at this job for around 3 and a half years now. Pretty happy with it.

We get paid time and half after hitting 48 hours, which is rare, but happens occasionally. And as I work in a supermarket warehouse, it's become clear that we will be hitting 48 hours this week, and probably for many weeks to come...

The issue is, my employer has apparently decided awhile ago they will no longer be paying this, decided not to tell us for whatever reason (they probably didn't think we would be hitting this again since getting the shifts under control).

Now, the problem is I've since moved home and I don't have my contract. From what I've found out at work (not 100% certain but seems likely), it doesn't mention time and half in the contract, however when we signed our contracts we also signed another document to say we are happy to work over 48 hours and this is the same document that says we do get time and half.

What are my rights here? It isn't contractual, but it's going against the agreement we made regarding working over 48 hours. So surely once I hit 48 hours I can just leave?

I have not signed any document agreeing to work over 48 hours a week, yet my average week has not been under 50 hours since I took this job and additionally I've only been scheduled on evenings which destroyed my social life.

I'm hoping to leave soon but how should I demand my rights without pissing off management?

Edit: I'm in England.

1. Get 500 citadel hits in Aircraft Carrier.
2. Get 100 fires in Minotaur or Venezia. (You guys not have secondaries?!)
3. Earn 2 200 000 free xp in any tier 1 ship (No flags allowed)
4. Sink 140 allied ships.
5. Get 120 ram kills in a DD (French only)
6. 180 double strike in a CV of course.
7. Do not get spotted entire game 400 times (German BBs)
8. Survive 15 torpedo hits in 1 game, lose it and be last in your team xp 150 only.

I hope WG could use some of it next year, when we get another free (Pobieda T11) ship o.O

Firstly, apologies if this is the wrong place for seeking technical help! I'm working on my Final Year Project and have run into a significant problem, and the official Amazon Developer forum seems pretty inactive. I've posted on there too but I assume links are discouraged for new redditors so I'll just re-post the problem in full here. It's a long one so I'll highly appreciate any help!

I'm building a semi-complex Alexa skill, with two intents that I'll call Intent A and Intent B. Less than a week ago, before I'd fully finished Intent B, I was able to switch intents from A to B when I offered this to a user, by using the Dialog.Delegate directive with an updatedIntent attribute. It looked like this:

directive = {
  'type': 'Dialog.Delegate',
  'updatedIntent': {
    'name': 'IntentB',
    'confirmationStatus': 'NONE',
    'slots': {
      'slotA': intent['slots']['slotA'],
    }
  }
}

This worked while Intent B only had a single slot (Slot A) which was prefilled from the same slot in Intent A. However, when I fully implemented Intent B by adding a second slot (we'll call Nav), this intent switching stopped working (sort of, stick with me).

I know that when switching intents, all of the slots for the new intent must be included in the Delegate directive, so I updated it to look like this:

directive = {
  'type': 'Dialog.Delegate',
  'updatedIntent': {
    'name': 'IntentB',
    'confirmationStatus': 'NONE',
    'slots': {
      'slotA': intent['slots']['slotA'],
      'nav': {
        'name': 'nav',
        'confirmationStatus': 'NONE',
        'source': 'USER'
      }
    }
  }
}

When switching to Intent B, Intent B immediately uses an ElicitSlot directive to obtain a value for Nav, which is used to navigate through a recipe. This elicitation works perfectly when just using Intent B from the beginning of the session (i.e. not switching into it from Intent A), however when switching from Intent A the elicitation doesn't work and I instead get the error message:

A valid slot of the intent being processed should be specified for slotToElicit in "Dialog.ElicitSlot" directive.

Why is this happening? I re-iterate that this usage of ElicitSlot works perfectly fine when using Intent B from the beginning of the session, it only fails after the intent switch. I've checked the JSON outputs from both cases and they are identical. I have no idea where to start in debugging this. Plea

Curious to see some concepts!

Excellent article :)

I had my doubts on whether directives 6 and 7 were even possible to complete on time and still earn Puerto Rico, so I decided to math it out. Preemptive apologies for any formatting issues, this is my first post and I'm learning how this thing works as I go.

I'm going to ignore everything before directive 6, simply because that's more math than I'm willing to do. According to Sub, you have 4 days (96 hours) to complete directive 6 in order to earn Puerto Rico for free. I assume 6 hours of sleep/day and 1 hour of not playing WoWs/day for these 4 days, leaving us with 68 hours to complete directive 6. All of the numbers used to complete the missions in each directive are my estimations based on personal experience. As such, there are no estimations for carrier specific missions, as I have never played carriers and don't know enough about them to be confident in any numbers I could guess about them. TL;DR at bottom, if I remember.

Now, my directive 6 math:

Earn 20.2 million credits: At 700k credits/game, this mission will take 30 games. At 1 million credits/game, this mission will take 20 games.

Earn 150k base xp: At 1k base xp/game, this mission will take 150 games. At 2k base/game, this will take 75 games. At 3k base/game, this mission will take 50 games.

Earn 350k xp in Soviet or UK cruisers: At 6k xp/game, this will take 58 games. At 8k xp/game, this will take 44 games.

Get 130 citadel ribbons in Soviet, IJN, or Italian BBs: At 7 cits/game, this will take 19 games. At 10 cits/game, this will take 13 games.

Get 7000 main shell hits in Soviet, Pan-Asian, or European DDs: At 100 hits/game, this will take 70 games. At 150 hits/game, this will take 47 games.

Get 2700 torp, rocket, or bomb hits in carriers: I don't know enough about carriers to estimate this, so I won't.

Get 230 torpedo hits or citadel hits in German, Italian, or Pan-Asian cruisers: At 10 of either/game, this will take 23 games. Not going to do more, cause I think this one's already kind of a generous estimate, and I don't know enough about Italian/Pan-Asian cruisers.

Get 7200 secondary hits in German or US BBs: At 200 hits/match, this will take 36 games. I guess Georgia/Ohio could do this well if you were really determined, but I think 200 is a high enough estimate, and enough for my purposes.

Earn 50k base xp in German or FR DDs: At 1k base/game, this will take 50 games. At 2k base/game, this will take 25 games. At 3k base/game, this will take 17 games.

Earn 25k base xp in Pan

This is a mostly automated spreadsheet tool for Puerto Rico progress planning. With it you can take a guess at how long you will take to complete each directive, set what time you log in to play each day, and change how many premium boosts you've purchased. It will then show you what time you will complete PR or how close you'll get.

I started working on this a few days ago and now that Sub Octavian has released the numbers in the "apology" it feels a bit superfluous, but I figure some people might still want to play with it.

This link should make you a personal copy of the Google Sheets document. This link should download an Excel sheet (which might be broken due to number formatting...).

Instructions are in there, but basically just edit the green cells for your time estimates and copy/paste between the yellow cells for the premium boosters you want.

I know the Daily Mission entry is dumb. I intend to update it when I know more about the rewards per easy, hard, etc. Let me know if you have info about that and I'll roll it in later. Also let me know if you improved anything and I can roll in your changes.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I should probably do my real job.

Happy New Year everyone!

So as the title says, I am a new hospice social worker. This is my first post MSW job. My past experience was in pediatric oncology and we only did these once or twice. We just got a new patient who wants to talk to the SW (me) about the advance directive process (that's all the info I have). I know what they are, but I haven't ever really had this discussion myself with a patient before, and the last time I did it was in the fall of 2018.

Does anyone have any tips for this conversation?

Thanks in advance :)

6 days + is a long time to wait for more directives. The dailies don't give you enough to even one run a day. You want people to play this big, new feature? Make it a 12-24 hour turnaround time.

Spoilers for the episode, obviously.

So in the episode there are two planets, one (Brekka) which is able to painstakingly produce a 'medicine' that is extremely vital for the other planet (Ornara) and is treatment for their plague. It turns out during the episode that the plague was actually cured centuries ago, and that the Ornarians simply got addicted to the narcotic effects of the medicine, and the Brekkans know this and exploit this to support their whole economy.

Picard decides to withhold this information from the Ornarians, on the basis that it would be interfering with the Prime Directive and the episode ends with the Ornarians leaving with a large dosage of the medicine, still believing it is vital to their survival.

How would simply telling the Ornarians about the reality of the situation be interfering? I understood the prime directive as imposing principles onto a less developed civilisation. Simply telling them 'hey you aren't actually going to die without this' after a medical examination seems perfectly within the parameters.

It doesn't seem any different to how the crew addressed the civilisation just a few episodes before in When the Bough Breaks where they told the inhabitants that they need to destroy their cloaking technology to stop the damage to their ozone layer and what was making them infertile.

I recently got back into the game after a one year hiatus. I'm now trying to get the Memento for a DPS/Skill Hybrid build.

I got the Acosta's go bag from open world missions, but haven't been able to get the Memento.

I am wondering if it would be better to play on heroic without directives for open world missions or if I should continue with challenging and all directives actives.

I also not sure if I should farm the summit or farm the Manning Zoo today.

Thanks in advance :)

(I'm sorry to also ask this)

UPDATE: Big Thanks to everyone that helped me out and suggested different ways of farming and answered my question.

I repeated level 30 (about 10 times) of the summit and finally got it after getting another go-bag.

Thank you. This community is awesome :)

A little game here when you add all the times all the Captains from TOS to DISCO for violating the Prime Directive times 5 cents.

So like it says I am going through these directives thinking carefully about how my life should be governed near the end. I'm having both positive and negative feelings during the process. I'll admit I've had suicidal thoughts before, so the whole thing is getting a bit too real.

I'm in above average health and don't expect to die soon, but I work in the healthcare field and have seen many people young and old who have either died or suffered a debilitating disease, so I know the importance of having this document on record.

Ultimately I'll need to discuss this with my designated power of attorney, and given some of the instructions I've left, I feel the meeting will be very awkward /emotional. Anyone else have an advanced directive or help someone make one? Is there anything I should prepare myself for, either mentally or emotionally?
