Thank you. Don't blow up in public. Go ahead and post a negative review, but keep it rational. That you ended up homeless is too much information. Post details about the experience, not just your interpretation of the emotional state o

This review should get pulled. If the reviewer posted this under his real name, then he should remove it. This review will kill his reputation, which will cause more problems than anything mentioned in the review. If it's not a real na

This is probably more for showing off the sort of capabilities which are needed in a manufacturing environment rather than front-desk security (don't be chicken, get over here and fight!). That probably explains the disappointing ritua

Anyone else first hear about the Ainu through arcade games? I didn't remember which one, but a Google search brings up Samurai Shodown, which looks familiar. The character was Nakoruru.

Some of the reason for obesity might be fast food but some of it is just rising incomes along with unique cultural things. For example, in the Philippines, you look healthy if you are chubby and people show concern if you are skinny. People

In the Philippines, the customers seem to be of a middle class or higher. Most people can't afford to eat in McD's unless they want to spend half a day of pay or more to eat a Big Mac meal. That attracts more of the same.

In the Philippines, the fast food restaurants have the appearance of being relatively high scale and the food is relatively expensive.

Just like you learned the back-end stuff. Practice, practice, practice. Just as you went through multiple levels of understanding with the back-end, you'll do the same with the front-end. Here's an idea. Do you do any sort of jour

Does anyone sleep on a hard surface? I generally don't, but when I get a migraine, I can't stand to sleep on a soft surface. I also can't deal with pillows. Maybe the reason is that I can put my body in the exact position I w

No work is interchangeable. Some manufacturing jobs get close, but certainly not programming. I have heard this idea of programming jobs being interchangeable but I haven't seen it in the real world. This must be the work of a snake-oi

It's not generous. They aren't running a charity. There is a market rate for work and that rate isn't limited by geographic location. It's your ability to sell which will get you that rate. As a developer, you have all t

I don't disagree. In your scenario, time becomes more of a concern than the money. After a certain point, you just want whatever is easiest for the people involved.

That's 10 days of labor in the country I'm living in. Even decently paid people here might need 3 days of work to make that. And yes, it seems like a lot for something which requires very little action from anyone.

Good to know, it was a BPO ATM which I tried. I wonder why they raised the rates from 200 to 250? Currency fluctuations? That seems like a lot of money for something totally automated. That's probably one of the few services in this to

I just paid 250 pesos at an ATM the other day, that's up from 200 pesos. Take a look at coins.ph - the service has apparently built some connections with a lot of local money options. You can even put money back into it via 7/11 i

I predict the price of whoppers goes up 1000% in Russia and you have to be in the Russian Mafia to even afford one. And even if you can afford one, don't let them catch you buying one. They will take over the supply. Drive-through: I&#
