Me too!

Although someone (steam maybe? I don’t remember) updated their system and won’t take it anymore. So now it’s 1930-01-01.

You should try it. It’s like I’m 30 years younger!

If you decide you do want to be a belt and suspenders guy, look up Perry suspenders.

They make suspenders that hook under your belt. More reliable than the little metal clips, no buttons to add to your pants, and you still have a place to attach your Leatherman.

I’ve got several pairs and I’ve been pretty happy with them.

Now we know why the comparison in Monty Python’s song “Henry Kissinger” was

But you’ve got nicer legs than Hitler

and bigger tits than Cher

rather than the other way around.

Really it depends on how your employer handles expenses for travel.

Several places where I’ve worked have had things in place that would stop this kind of thing from occurring (whether that was the intended purpose behind those things or not)

But if they only require you submit the purchase receipt, then you might be able to do what you suggest. But if there’s any info on the receipt that could lead them back to the canceled ticket (confirmation number, etc) then it could backfire on you if they check it. They could probably even use the credit card transaction number to the same end. But I’d expect that to be more involved and less likely unless you did something to make them suspicious.

Possible? Maybe. Risky? Also maybe.

I think you’re misunderstanding what they’re asking. It’s not about scamming the airline or the bank that issued the credit card. It’s about scamming their employer.

I’ve heard so much great stuff about the series, but I’ve heard conflicting things about where to start.

If you were going to start over, never having read any of them, what would be your preferred order?

Agree about the hair, though.

I’m no expert, but because of the way the ovipositor curves around the abdomen, I’m guessing something in Leucospidae

I think it would be more interesting if you could change at will. Wake up and pick your gender line you pick your outfit for the day.

Yep. At one place I worked, we did a big off-site disaster recovery exercise every year.

Most of the time it went fine, but there were multiple years where a restore didn’t work due to an issue with one or more tapes. Either the data and/or indexes couldn’t be read, or the tape physically failed during the restore.

Backups aren’t backups unless they’re tested.
