[Urgent] [USA] [CA/CO] How can I protect myself before being fired as a misclassified contractor? - Lemmy.World
Hi, Couldn’t find a good place to post this. Hope it’s ok here. I am working a
job where I have discovered I am misclassified as a contractor. They are
(probably) about to fire me - I requested switching over to a W2 and they
responded with a curt email and a request for a quick call tomorrow. I strongly
believe they are going to terminate my contract. I am in CO, but the contract
says the laws of CA will apply. How can I protect myself before and after this
call, especially since I am considering reporting them to the IRS? Thank you

It won’t let me upload a picture but I will try adding it to the comments. But I
have an HP Envy x360 and did a cheap/sloppy “repair” of the left hinge (cold
welded it). When I was putting the screen back on, I ended up shattering a place
which fell out, about 2 inches x 0.5 inches (5 cm x 1.27 cm) near the right
hinge, and then a smaller area on the left hinge which has stayed in place. The
screen itself is fine - it’s below the screen where the hp logo is that is
broken. Is there anything (cheap) I can put on it to keep from breaking further,
like electrical tape or something else? I can’t afford to buy a new screen (or
hinges) which is why I cold welded it in the first place. Thanks for your help

Screenshot of a Facebook post which says: This was literally mailed to me
[redacted] knowing our neighborhood, we're fairly certain it was a neighbor.
don't care WHAT your beliefs, political stance, religious beliefs are... you do
not threaten ANYONE... especially like this... over a MAGA flag. So we posted in
our neighborhood group. "To ANY one that thinks this is funny.. You have an
issue, SHOW your face. Come talk to me. Threaterning a COMBAT VETERAN & a family
with young children? Absolutely DISGUSTING. And I thought being called a Nazi by
our neighbor was bad. HA! Funny how it's anonymous."

didn’t get a screenshot of the “statement” from town officials…which is somehow
worse than the screenshot above.

I lost my hearing aid today. I looked for it for 10 minutes. I enlisted the help
of strangers. … It was on my ear. The End.
Why doesn't Google Meet recognize my mic/camera, but other video conferences work fine?

It was working fine a few weeks ago, then randomly stopped detecting mic/camera.
Did Google get tired of me not using Chrome? Lol I have an old HP envy 360
(internal camera and mic) Fedora 41 with KDE Plasma Firefox browser Zoom (app),
Updox (browser), and a few others still work fine. I set it to always allow
camera & mic but no dice. Old forum posts sadly did not fix it either :(
Did anyone work harder not smarter this week?

Did anyone work harder not smarter this week? - Lemmy.World
I certainly did. I was taking a wooden box apart and realized I grabbed the
wrong bit. Rather than go get the correct one I used my extremely hard head and
decided to make the wrong bit work. The screws were not fooled. On the bright
side, I successfully turned a <5 minute activity into a 2+ hour project. Go me!

Hi my fellow Lemmings and friends! I need to get a second number, and I would
prefer not to use Google Voice. I have an Android phone and it needs to be a USA
(+1) number. What are the reputable, privacy friendly apps for this? It would be
amazing if it was free but I will not hold my breath on that. 😸
How do I make sure to bundle myself and my dog up properly in -20F windy weather?

How do I make sure to bundle myself and my dog up properly in -20F windy weather? - Lemmy.World
You helped me a lot with my move! I appreciate it. The forecast for my area next
week has temps as low as -20F (-28C), with a lower windchill (I think around
-30F/-34C). We will have snow on the ground but I don’t believe it is expected
to snow on the coldest days. Side note - we are around 4500ft/1372m above sea
level. So far the winter has been pretty mild and hasn’t gone below 0F/-17C at
all. Snow has also been sparse with I think less than 2 inches (5cm) each time,
quickly melting. So I haven’t gotten a chance to really get used to such cold
temps. We can get some pretty fast winds. I think it mostly sticks between 20-25
mph (32-40 kph). Also a very arid climate. I have a hard time getting my home
above 30% humidity. Not sure on the outdoor numbers. Is there anything different
I should be doing for myself and for my dogs? I feel like these temps are
dangerous for exposed skin? Not sure. One of my dogs has medium length hair and
the other one is short hair. For me I have stuff like longjohns, thicker
sweatpants, sweatshirts, windbreaker, I also have a wool coat. Then like thicker
socks and some fur lined boots. - I’m thinking I need to add a scarf or
something for my face and then also make myself wear gloves? I have some
sheepskin gloves so I was thinking of putting on like regular winter gloves and
then the sheepskin over it? For the dogs they have a wind resistant fur lined
coat and then some winter shoes. So I’m guessing they need something for their
head - I have a soft head covering for them but it is slightly too big and keeps
falling over their eyes when we practice wearing it. Do I need to get them
something that covers their legs and belly better as well? I was also wondering
if I should even be taking them out at all when it’s that cold. I mean I know it
is that cold often elsewhere but they are used to the dry heat of the south of
the US and I don’t want them to end up not wanting to go outside ever again
haha. I still feel very unprepared for winter weather so I hope my fellow
Lemmings can help!
