Not your problem. That employer clearly doesn't care about you, why should you care about them? Move on to your new position.

Um, yes? 2.5 hours is terrible. Besides a daily commute, many flights are more than 1 hour. Also, it'd be nice to not have my device die immediately if I forgot to charge it three times a day.

Agreed - there's a big difference between having it on and off.

It's a shame that a lot of those nicely new and rehabbed homes will be likely be destroyed by their new tenants.

I'm continually surprised how the smallest people seem to stomp the loudest up and down the hallway.

No. Fuck that. I don't normally curse on here, but I think it's warranted. I own a great pair of over ear, noise cancelling headphones. But I shouldn't have to risk damaging my hearing because management thinks having develop

Not the best comparison. Besides being a requirement, you pay into social security based on the assumption that you'll get benefits when you're older. If you paid for 20 years and then the program went bust and you didn't rec

It depends on the context, but of course developers are considered superior to the tester. That's like saying doctors are considered superior to nurses. If you just look in terms of knowledge required, the amount you need to know to be

Super beat that you need to sign up for it to view the logos it produced. Enjoy the fake email I guess.

I didn't realize they had added that to their policy. While that's awesome, I still see a ton of them on there. From some quick googling - https://www.amazon.com/Sentey-LS-4232-Headphones-Microphone-...

I feel like I'm looking at a Sharper Image catalog. Lots of neat, expensive, completely useless things (for the everyday person) that I'm surprised anybody buys.

I can't stand the "incentivized" reviews, and found this chrome plugin to be really helpful, it basically goes through and tries to remove the fake reviews for you and give you a new, more correct score without them - https:

Seems cool, but would be better if they included an option for tab functionality. Can't replace safari without that.

It's sad how what's supposed to be an open and democratic platform, isn't.

I think the main issue here is not to burn a huge chunk of money when starting a new life together, especially when the amount spent is usually a lot more than they can really afford.

A diamond ring loses a large amount of its value when you purchase it, because engagement rings don't really ever sell for what they bought them for. If he uses that MBP for work, it is a return on the investment as it allows him to ea

To be fair, I don't think people spending their money stupidly on overpriced things is specific to one gender or the other : )

For the tax cuts, seems like it'd be pretty helpful for the lower and middle classes from what he's posted here - https://www.donaldjtrump.com/policies/tax-plan

God what a nightmare that would be. As if open office spaces weren't bad enough.

What about property taxes? I know people who have paid their house off in full and still pay 12-15 thousand in property taxes each year. Additionally, even if the house is paid off, you're still on the hook for all repairs, maintenance

Stock being certainly higher risks than housing and still people invest a lot in stocks. I would say low cost index funds are a much lower risk investment than a mortgage. They also have the advantage of being very liquid in the case of a

I too, share in the goal and passion of making monkeys. In all seriousness though, I'm surprised the number is even as high as 27%. Unless you're working for the Peace Corps or some charity that's trying to do some real good

I like VR, but I agree with you. I'm happy Nintendo is trying something different again, even moreso that this actually looks like a good idea (as opposed to the trainwreck of product and marketing that was the Wii U). It's great

Don't worry about what this article talks about. If you're a writer, or an artist, or a musician, etc and are having trouble getting things done, the solution is as simple as this: Set a time slot everyday where you will sit down

This was one of my biggest concerns when I tried out the Note 5 for a few weeks. Not being able to quickly and confidently silence my phone with a switch made me paranoid it would be making noises in meetings and such.

That's a cool story. It's nice that you were able to help a coworker like that.

Also, uberpool is terrible. Can easily make a 20 minute ride 60 minutes depending on how many other fares they pick up/drop off on the way. I took one into the city once to try it out. Normally a 20 minute drive, we stopped and picked

I hope you negotiated an appropriate salary for the extra 25% a week you're apparently working as opposed to the standard 40 hours a week. There are jobs with flexibility that don't require that amount of time.

It's also known as "fuck you money", and there's a really good scene with John Goodman in The Gambler about it - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdfeXqHFmPI So many people, especially in tech, work jobs
