   bad documentation and API over charges

   First, the docuemtnation is out of date... for node.js, anyway. This meant that I had to patch together parts of the docuemtnation to get the API to work. Then, as the articles are paginated. the API charges 50 token for each page of the query, when it should be 50 tokens for the entire query. Therefore, I'd been charged 5,000 tokens within minutes. (Note: it's $150 USD for every 10,000 tokens)

   I asked for a refund, explaining the pagination issue, and was told that I made a mistake.

   I've requested my money back from the credit card company and provided them the proof of faulty documentation and billing.

• English to Latin translation requests go here!

  These words come from Lorem Ipsum, dummy text used by graphic designers to showcase a font or typeset, rather than distract the reader with the text itself. It looks like Latin because it comes from De Finis Bonorum Et Malorum ("on the limits of good and evil"), one of Cicero's most lengthy works of Latin literature.

• First Afghan and Halal bakery opens in Henrietta

  I bet it was lost in translation. Looks like a copypasta from https://lipsum.com/. The reference to not just PageMaker, but Aldus PageMaker is a clue to how long it's been around. The site has a number of other issues, too, but it's still better than third-party sites which exist only to drive traffic to delivery services or their POS. Source: about 1 year ago

• Gave my two weeks notice and boss wants me to take on additional work

  I think that the OP should write the manual, interspersed with actual content but mostly filled with lorem ipsum that appears to be written text but would actually require it to be read rather than flipped through. It's what books/newspapers used as props have when it's not a means of communicating anything to the audience. Wasting time doing the useless manual will take away time from productive activities.
