Without those, you should likely have died before you were 5. You know what, I think you're right, you should have died before your 5th birthday.
- Had a CEO who extolled how much better open plans were, how vibrant it made the workplace, and so on and so on... Years later she admitted it was just to save money. I refuse to call an open office an "office" - that vibrant office she described back then? Full of people wearing headphones to block out all the noise they otherwise couldn't escape.

- We haven't used Chromebooks, sorry. For scanners a number of cheap to pricey ones were tried. On the cheap end I don't have the exact model number but I think it was about $30USD from Netum, as well as using apps in cheaper smart-phones using the built-in camera.
I'd guess it's the scanner though, I don't think those control characters are supposed to be sent.
- I'm not familiar with that scanner, however that sounds like a scanner issue. I haven't had that issue with GS-128 with the couple scanners I & colleagues have tried. I did a google search and in the Amazon reviews there is someone purporting to be from the manufacturer saying to email them to learn how to make it work, with regards to FNC1.
- After learning kiswahili in Tanzania I went to Uganda for a vacation... At the bus terminal a bwana eventually pulled me aside and told me to quit speaking kiswahili there, because only the thieves spoke it there. I wasn't sure if I should be offended or humiliated. Anyway I went with english/spanish/swahili mixing after that cause brain. Either way skinny dipping in the blue nile was great.
- I just got into woodworking as a hobby to keep me active - physically and mentally. So, actually, I do actually want a rather nice drill. The hole it creates is a byproduct of mind, body and tool.
And on safety, what I really want is a sawstop. I'm super super careful, but uh. I really really really don't want to lose my fingers and have them sewn back on. Safety is a really good quality to have, even if it's not idiot proof, even if I can lose my fingers in so many other ways with so many other tools. I want that little bit more, anything just about to not end up in the E.R.
- You're excluding this part:
> I had never received any feedback indicating my performance was poor. In fact, it was exactly the other way around: I’ve never had a role that was such a good fit for my expertise before. So I asked if he could detail better where I failed. He refused to..
It is completely unprofessional to fire someone having never given any feedback. Startup or not.
