large scale "boots on the ground" invasions are pretty hard to sell to the american public. they don't generally want to see american soldiers die without a good reason. retaliating against the people who harbored bin laden i

yeah I'm kinda confused also, and I only graduated a few years ago. other than the (very important) minifridge, I doubt I spent more than $50 on "dorm outfitting". nor did I see "dorm outfitting" as some conspicuous

I think datacenter tech is a good example of one that should actually be in house, and not even for the sake of fairness. I imagine after a while these people must understand a lot about the company's infrastructure, albeit on a low le

I wasn't around back then, but I kinda doubt that it worked that way for most people (other than outliers like the flamin hot cheetos guy) or that it could work that way today. my grandfather started out as a more or less unskilled fac

that's kind of a weird strawman. I don't think people (in general) love scarcity, but you don't have to think too hard to realize that some desirable things are inherently scarce. even in star trek, there are only so many pen

according to BLS, the median is more like $110k: https://www.bls.gov/ooh/computer-and-information-technology/... anyway, the median figure doesn't tell you a whole lot by itself. the median rent in the US for

uber eats orders come out to be much more expensive than door dash, grubhub, etc. idk why this is the case, but this is why I don't usually use uber eats. they do usually have a better selection of restaurants, I'll give them that

I dunno whether it would be considered hacking, fraud, or plain old theft, but if you hadn't returned the BTC, this would be a clear example of exploiting a bug for financial gain. if nothing else, the operator should have some legal r

there isn't really an exploratory aspect to (vanilla) CS. it's a competitive shooter with a small number of small maps, and the weapons are pretty clearly balanced with this in mind. mods and community maps are a different story,

I think it's reasonable to complain about the loss of the native app when one of the key selling points (imo) is the pleasant UI. I don't really understand the almost-automatic hatred of subscriptions. if an app has ongoing develo

it's very much a trade off. I too remember going to independent record stores when I was younger. every once in a while, I got into a cool conversation with someone who worked there and discovered a new band. much more often, I left em

I think your advice to relax and focus on slow, steady improvement is on point, but imo you are really overstating the bit about low expectations for new grads. no reasonable company will make a new grad solely responsible for some critical

I don't think that's entirely fair. I have a limited amount of energy to spend on social activities in a week. just because I decline many of your invitations to hang out doesn't mean I won't clear my schedule to help yo

to some extent I'm just regurgitating what the owner told me. the guy was a bit neurotic. he would obsessively compare his prices with all the other local takeout places. there wasn't really a cohesive business strategy in the pri

it depends a lot on the kind of food. I once asked the owner about this when I worked at a pizza place. the "house salad" was almost straight profit; lettuce, tomatoes, onions, etc. cost basically nothing when purchased in bulk. t

if someone is mostly feeling secure about their appearance, it doesn't really matter. but weight can be a very sensitive subject, and you can't really know whether it is or isn't for someone you don't know well. in the w

I dunno, I think it's better to just not comment on weight at all unless you're good friends. what if you're wrong and they actually gained weight since you last saw them? or what if you're right and they have an eating

I don't really see how. the income phase out is close to the median individual income for SF. I also have a hard time seeing how it will meaningfully reduce congestion when roughly half the residents are fully exempted. seems more like

there's a third situation. suppose I spend roughly the same amount of money every month as I earn. on paper, this means that I should be treading water, at least. but my wages actually hit my bank account a week after the end of each p

YMMV on that one, especially if you travel with others. I rented a nice apartment just outside the center of raleigh for about $115/night including fees. it had a full kitchen, living room with futon, and two bedrooms. I really doubt w

you're right about t rowe, I confused the story about them moving their main office (to harbor east) with the fact they've opened an office in owings mills. apparently the reason for the move is safety concerns downtown, which is

I'm a lifelong resident, but I can't say I share your optimism. the per capita murder rate is still well above the worst years in the 90s, with 2019 setting an all time high. the population is still falling, rapidly in poorer neig

I'm not exactly sure what point you're trying to make here, but I don't think two different formats for encoding formatted text with images constitute different "mediums".
