Small-Scale Question Sunday for March 19, 2023

Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?

This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Culture war topics are accepted, and proposals for a better intro post are appreciated.

The white-collar job fell through with a surprise weed hair test.

I'm suspicious. Maybe they were looking for an excuse to fire him? Or some sort of defense or civil engineering company that takes drugs seriously?

In my limited experience my employers wouldn't dare drug test engineers. Far too many would get caught for weed and it is massively too hard to hire competent engineers.

This was day 1 of the job, they'd never mentioned it, and it was in the deep south. Pretty stupid IMO, even down here everyone smokes.
