I'd recommend hiding it. Here's why: Your future salary expectations likely have a basis in your current salary. Prospective employers know this. Prospective employees know this. If expectations are stated, with that understanding

If autonomous vehicles are a success, then there may be surprisingly few totaled cars in the future, compared to what we see today. I'm excited for that and agree with you that some really cool stuff can come out of the salvage of the

A truck, carrying live Pacific hagfish, spilled the cargo in a 5-car collision. Hagfish produce slime to escape danger, and thus slimed the cars onto which they landed. There was no melting involved.

Extensions/add-ons were the #1 reason I switched from Chrome to Firefox on my mobile device. It supports uBlock Origin & others. It's worth a try if you haven't done so lately.

Legality aside, which other posters have covered: I dealt with a local mechanic (small shop) earlier this year who, when it came time to settle the bill, said he will do debit/check for no fee, or a 2% fee for a credit card. In additio

This is pretty amazing. I've been using a Windows program called Agent Ransack [0] for finding files with regex, but this Everything program is so much faster. Incredibly so. Thanks for the tip! [0] https://www.mythicsoft.co

My suggestion for people who find cruise control makes driving boring, disengaging, and thus more dangerous is to instead focus on other aspects of driving - perhaps unobvious ones. It's surprisingly effective. Personally, I use cruise

I agree that separating them would help in this regard. We should; however, consider why it was done this way. I can only speculate on the matter, but tend to think it was bundled with payroll for simpler accounting (assuming tax deductible

Burning wood is not carbon zero. It is the reverse of carbon sequestration in the sense that atmospheric CO2 was once converted to wood by the tree, and now the wood is being burned and the captured carbon release back into the atmosphere.

As someone who has crafted thousands of complex regular expression rules for data capture, here is my take: 1. This is a fine idea to aid regex newbies in crafting their expressions. I see this as a gateway instead of a longterm tool. The e
