There's a whole spectrum, from misalignment on the proper state of the house, to the feelings of respect, to the increase in household jobs for the other partner. If the husband puts his cup by the sink at night, then picks it back up

Yeah I think the cup is just a symptom of neither of them being able to step into the other's shoes, but it's hard to diagnose without a larger picture. The husband could have said "I understand that this is a small thing tha

That assumes the AP classes would have boosted your GPA. If the harder class knocked you from an A to a B then it would have been a net negative, at least at my high school (AP counted as a 1.2 weighting, so an A in a regular class is 4.0

Depends what you’re trying to build. Sure, if you’re just doing consulting work then go get requirements from a customer and deliver on them. If you’re building a real product there’s frequently not even an existing customer and certainly

For us the “one flat surface” is about cleaning instead of aesthetics. We cook all the time and out range constantly has crap spilled on it. Being able to wipe it down in a quick pass is so nice.

I find a lot of the meat substitutes to be delicious but to me the problem is the nutritional content. A Beyond patty is a great substitute for a greasy hamburger. But There’s nothing that I’m aware that can substitute for lean meat like c

I’ve certainly seen it different because I make sure it happens. What you’re talking about is the human equivalent of tech debt. Occasionally you need to take out a loan, but you had better have a good reason why and a plan to pay it back.

Any thoughts on supporting Avro? I notice there's no issue for it in the Github repo, curious if there is a reason for that. We're pretty much replacing all CSV interchange with Avro (at least where the other side can handle it)
