I spend most of my time in Ohio and WV. Ohio might as well be in Canada and WV split from Virginia to join the union. Still confederate flags flying in both states. It's not about "heritage" at that point.

All cereals are just loaded with carbs. Some are still marketed as "healthy" though. I think people just like the taste and some of the marketing makes them think it's good for them.

Nexus 4 was the best phone I've ever owned.

As an Android user I'm still kind of interested in this phone. One thing that bothers me on most phones is the camera sticking out the back. It ends up being the point of contact to every surface you sit it on and sometimes the camera

I had the same experience with the same numbers too. Except I've now been at my current employer for about 5 years, after accepting a matching offer a few times. I would never be anywhere near where I am had I stayed at those first few

In my experience managers tend to have their hands tied as to what they can offer. You may get 3% if you ask for a raise. Companies tend to give managers more options when they are trying to keep an employee from jumping ship. This is all f

"Once you have said "you have an offer" it acts as a flag that at you." I've found this line of thinking to be false but so many employees are afraid of this. If it does happen you just leave again, big deal.

BMW and Audi basically do that.

The charging network is the real selling point over the Bolt. Well, looks too but that's subjective.

I accidentally replaced one of my heat pumps with an A/C only unit. So now I have to run the emergency heat strip all winter. I haven't seen any real increase in my power usage. The heat strip was running most of the time anyway b

I'm pretty sure the reason is Agile. They don't think it's possible unless you are face to face at a standup. Also, moving people back to offices is a way to thin the herd without firing people.

I did the same and it's really, really stressful being in traffic for that long. Not to mention turning a 9 hour day into a 13. Working remote has really improved my quality of life now.

I really liked 12 hour shifts when I was in tech support. Working 3 on and 3 off was amazing.

My assumption that burning and inhaling anything would be dangerous has been proven wrong a few times on HN. Users have posted studies that show no real negative effects of smoking cannabis.

Out of that list, only the Bolt is even close to being the same class and that's based on range alone. If they weren't EVs we wouldn't mention them in the same sentence.

FedEx uses USPS for their smartpost packages. There's really no way to entirely avoid USPS.

The way this will work out if mind boggling too. Many employees would be told to go into an office only to then collaborate remotely with their peers in other cities. As a remote IBMer I'm hoping this rumor is false. I was forced remot

I worked for FedEx Ground HQ and that is basically how it works. Often UPS and FedEx trade high volume customers back and forth because they basically make no profit on them but it keeps the network full of packages. I think UPS, FedEx, and

The comcast app blocks streaming to devices like chromecast. This makes me almost mad enough to just cut the cord.
