I think there’s lots of factors going on here too. Products were less often considered disposable two or three generations ago. A manufacturer wouldn’t offer 6 versions of nearly the same thing to capture all price points. Things used to be

In that specific situation there’s likely training because operating a saw can be dangerous and incurs liability, not because Home Depot wants to impart knowledge to customers.

At this point in my life I've mostly given up asking employees questions. There's only "fishy" answers to be had in retail and there's not generally a competing store with more knowledgable employees. It seems like

Yeah, I went into a Home Depot store that wasn't my regular location a couple weeks back looking for dowel rods. Trying to speed up my trip I asked two different employees on my way to the general area of the store which specific aisle

For the most part, why would I trust random employees at a store? Knowledgable retail sales employees have completely vanished outside of niche "passionate enthusiast turned their hobby into a business". Homebrew shops, gun stores

Likewise, if we want to solve an industry-wide or global labor ethics problems we need industry wide or global solutions. Tariffs, taxes, regulation, trade agreements and embargoes solve these scale of problems and we do it all the time. Ma

Sorry dude but your comments on this thread are the standard Apple-hater stereotype, so forgive me for not believing you care. Where's the outrage about Playstations, XBoxes, Dells and Pixels made by Foxconn? Nowhere, because nobody ca

I think it's as simple that for every "Apple can do no wrong" out of touch fanboy, there's about a half dozen "Apple can do nothing good" commenters online that are angered by Apple simply continuing to exist.

I'm no tax lawyer but it would seem like a kidnapper wouldn't meet the criteria for having legal custody of a person and wouldn't qualify for any relief of their tax burden. But given that a large number of those type of kidn

My kids wear masks to school too. My oldest is probably not as heavily impacted by this but I feel like my younger child has been (started K in 2019). He doesn't really know what his friends look like, he doesn't get to see facial

I really like Poetry for my own uses but as a semi-infrequent Python user my struggle is dealing with other people's Python repositories that aren't using it. I can never remember all the differences and subtleties between virtual

The problem will be a lack concentrated deposits making post-collapse (and new) industrial efforts much harder. A pile of rust from one tractor in someone's back yard is not going to be worth the effort to mine and refine. Possibly an

A locksmith (or interested individual) can rekey a lock. The pins and keys are the cheapest part of the lock too, which is a contributing factor towards why locksmiths lean towards destructive entry. They get to be lazy, the method can&#x27

I literally did not make the claim that no wagon options exist anywhere in what I wrote. What are you even arguing here? Why even make that strawman? I compared SUVs to sedans and trucks because those are more available by volume by a long
826.
by evilduck 5y ago
I'm not ignorant of them but there simply aren't that many wagon options on the market new or used and peak MPG isn't the only metric for purchasing a vehicle.

And far more utility than a traditional sedan, I own one of each and my midsized SUV that covers a lot of small truck use cases. I can strap things to the roof racks, I can open the back and lay down the seats and carry small and extended c

Frameworks and library authors could stand to do more in-house. It's also on devs to vet a library for maintenance concerns like sprawling dependencies.

Recruiters have absolutely no say in what companies will ultimately pay, they negotiate within the budget a company sets out. Who ever gave you the impression that they have that power? I've been on both sides of this table and when a

It's not clear to me that you really understand the hiring process at all, which might explain your strange negativity. How is a recruiter getting you more money (and increasing their commission) or landing you a job quicker bad? As a

by evilduck 5y ago
Because it's nonsense gibberish that won't help you. You can completely lie to a recruiter about your motives if you want. Revealing personal information isn't required, but presenting yourself as hirable is. It's not so

I'm in 100% agreement and generally dislike information asymmetry jobs, but it doesn't mean they can't help your prospects when you are talking with them. Your judgement of a recruiter as a person isn't generally relevan

How else should an uninvolved outsider view someone who can't keep drama out of an introduction call with a stranger besides as a toxic moron? You can certainly voice displeasure with your current working arrangement tactfully (who&#x2

There are a lot of negatively slanted replies in this thread who sound oblivious to how hiring works or sound like people who have justifiably been passed over. Even the phrasing of "what answers are they looking for?" sounds a li

You can just click the skip button and use an iOS device without any account. Whether or not people want to do this is an entirely different conversation but Apple does not require it. You do better and stop moving the goalposts and lying.

Oh, so you don't have those options to install Retroarch from Nintendo and you're ok with the Switch needing to leverage a hack to freely do what you want? How is this a qualitatively different situation from Apple then?

How can you ignore Android, the dominant platform, existing and providing these exact things for you? Why hasn't this magic-capitalism argument won or at least out-performed already?
