The point is usually they don't want bins outside all week long. So then you have to codify that with a "When is ok?" Generally you might go for some time the day before and some time the evening after collection. It's

> "I don't want to WFH because..." Ok, sure, but nobody is trying to force you to. The correct phrasing is probably "I would rather not work with a mix of remote co-workers" . Which is very different, though I

I am going to be very sad when I find I can no longer buy a car without bullshit like parking sensors, auto braking, digital screens, tracking/logging and so on.

Not the poster, but the implication is that all white students are highly privileged in well resourced school districts. It's not technically what was said, but I agree the implication is pretty strong and unreasonable. You can have

I feel like there is a difference between sharing a love of music and sharing a love of the same music. I believe I would struggle with someone who loved no music and/or with whom there was zero overlap. But I'd not expect to

I would not call any of those growth at this point, nor are they companies with strong fundamentals. Like, just my pov - but their years of growth are done and the competition is in.
