Ironically I just sold a 2001 Chevy Impala after the transmission went and bought a 2018 holdover Volt to replace it. But those calculations are close to mine. In the case of the Impala, the car with a working trans was worth $3500 and the

^^^^ This. There seems to be a built in incentive for these "salary surveys" for corporate sites like Dice to do this which is why actual salaries tend to be higher. It is funny to watch companies that rely on these and low ball s

Most of the salary surveys on sites like dice show numbers that are lower than what people who know what they are doing actually end up getting. Sites like Blind etc. tell a better story.

I've had this happen as well! Basically I think they use the removal option as their revenue model....until people figure out that their reviews are not accurate.

The people who benefit from this are not the family, but the corporations who have less distracted men and women so that they can continue to make them more money. The better solution is to allow for extra time off to help care for them. So

The fact that you can't get easily legal guardianship over an ailing parent is indicative of the problem with government intervention. Granted, you have a lot more kids who have no problem committing elder abuse. This is what happens w

The unsaid thing with all of this is that the counseling field has become part of the problem with this. It used to be that counselors had more of a religious affiliation which made the more pro-family. These days they are a big part of the

My parents were both in the counseling field. Very few people are beyond redemption. While I fully support this in extreme circumstances, more often than not, from what I've seen, estrangements are more about mental health issues with

This makes more sense....I posted another comment, but the long and short is that you would need to be able to bypass the manufacturers controller to do this, which it sounds like you are saying.

If a car's battery system is not set up for this kind of a charge rate (IE: it maxes at 7.2 amp 240 volt level 2), there is no way their system can just attach to your port and charge your car faster. There are on-board controllers etc

That is true. This has been more of my experience when I've been working with startups and small companies that don't have legal departments.

This is definitely missing a lot of protections for both sides. An interesting story. I have a standard contract I usually use with startups etc. that is written to be fair to both parties and vetted by multiple attorneys. One that I worked

Compared to IOS, Android is very forgiving. That said, it also does a lot worse with battery life. As an Android dev it can be annoying to work around, but I appreciate why they have taken these steps!

The transmission, especially on an automatic, is the thing that often does them in. I just recently had one go on a 18 year old Chevy Imapla and decided to sell it rather than fixing it. The body and interior are in very good condition. The

Human nature being what it is, most people will look out for their interests first. That said, in this case it affects people of all religions so there is a common uniting issue. It is better when, in general, people of all religions can fi
