Also don’t get packages delivered to your house because badguys can steal them. Also don’t keep money in your wallet because badguys can pickpocket you. Also don’t use computers because badguys can steal your passwords. Turns out the proble

You have a 5-year old computer. I'm a professional and I make a living writing software. Investing ~4k every 3-4 years on fast computer is a no brainer to me.

That is effectively what the GPT4 based AI Assistant is doing. Except when I did it, it was python and pandas. You can ask it to show you the code it used to do it's analysis. So you can load the data into R/Python and google &quo

I requested PTO to attend a family wedding. My boss approved. While I was out on PTO, during an exec meeting, the CEO asked my boss about the status of the project I was on. Boss forgot or neglected to mention I was on PTO, and the CEO remi

I have the climate control to resume, so I don't often need to adjust it. I also use the siri shortcut to start climate control a few minutes before I leave the house.

(also a driver of a 2023 id4): That switch between rear and front windows is mindbogglingly terrible UX. Other bad UX: I also only have one user profile setup and I have to hit "okay" every time I start my car. The self parking fe

IANAL Many states and many companies are “at will” employment. As long as the termination isn’t for protected reasons you may not have much in the way of a civil law suit. Ask me about the time I was “fired” for taking a vacation that my bo

Sorry my comment wasn’t clear, lots of Americans pick up their cellphone, as I do, and yes it’s not safe, even when done rarely.

Lots of American drivers do exactly that. I’m guilty of it.

Until you’ve owned a Great Dane and see how much joy they bring you and your family, I don’t think you could understand why there is a desire to help their longevity.

It's very hard to imagine any electrician advising a DIY homeowner to install a 240v line on a live panel. It's not difficult to do, which was GP's original point--though you need to take safety precautions (in addition to re

First, it’s a bit more complicated than that—unless you went ahead and installed a 60A line without checking if your service(s) can handle the additional load. Advice like this is what gets people to screw up. Second, what’s the material di

This isn’t a shitty idea. The board fired it’s CEO and the next day is apparently asking him to come back. At this point, I don’t care how it resolves—the people who made that decision should be removed for sheer incompetence.
