It doesn't have to be for altruistic reasons, I'm betting the USA would benefit from having an influx of immigrants from a developed nation that shares our values.

My problem is that if I order online, there may be a few ingredients out of stock for a few different meals, and I end up having to go shopping anyway because I have 3-4 meals without all the ingredients. If I went shopping in the first pl

For Godot, there are actually some companies that you can work with who will make your game playable on consoles[1]. It's a pain that it has to be done that way, and the devs said it isn't a trivial amount of work, but I remember

I think the worst thing I've seen popping up on Nextdoor is quarantine zealots reporting people to the police for leaving the house for "non-essential" reasons. The most recent example I saw was a hairdresser using Nextdoor

It's suprisingly hard to move there if you're from the USA. I looked into moving there after I got out of the military, and had no chance because I don't have a degree. The fact that I have over a decade of work experience

That brings back some nostalgia. I remember playing one of the early Sim City games and that was one of the types of power plants you could set up. It had a small chance to malfunction, causing the beam to miss the collection station and

Yep, the new Steam library being a bloated web app is what forced me to install more RAM. I normally don't close out of applications when I'm not using them, so I was always hovering around ~6-7 of my 8 gigs of RAM in use. Then

Their description of what recruiters do seems like discrimination. They said that recruiters would deliberately go out of their way to find diversity candidates, instead of treating everyone equal. That matches up with a leaked email wher

I'm not blaming them, I just legitimately don't see how they could offer another service when they're already booked solid and don't have any drivers to spare.

Not sure how this is going to work, even the standard service is completely booked until next week at my local Walmart, unless they'll reserve some drivers for the 2-hour service.
