An army? There were 120 students in the class. Multiply by four classes and that's 480. Even if every student were truant a single truant officer could get to all of them within a single school year. Probably at most three or four

Northrup Grumman is running ads about invisible aliens? What? Do you have a link??

It's either that or a reference to the Tauri civilization that dwindled some 3,000 years ago in the Crimean peninsula. I'm leaning toward the former.

So what? Don't work for a large company if they're not willing to pay your salary.

Yep. But not one recruiter in ten is good.

You determine the value you're willing to work for: not just your employer. It sounds like you've never looked for a job while still employed. Take your location out of the equation: Is another employer willing to pay more for y

Throughout my career I've had recruiters attempt to get me to produce a "salary history". My polite way of telling them to go fuck themselves is to say "It's none of your business and it doesn't matter: This i

According to this site what really doesn't exist is an anime with a male character in it.

I've lead two successful community "unbundling" efforts from reddit. Here are a few tips if you're thinking of doing the same: (1) You HAVE to kill the original community. Otherwise momentum will keep your users using

I've been trying to figure out how to set up a local CA on my (linux) dev machine for a while now. Every time I get started I seem to run into problems. Does anyone have a simple guide for people who don't plan on investing in a

This was in "the late 1980s". Even if we're assuming this was in 1985, $4 in 1985 is $9.36 - $9.85 today. Sources: https://www.bls.gov/data/inflation_calculator.htm https://www.usinflationca

Depends. Oftentimes the shipping problem is the carrier's fault (e.g. UPS or FedEx) and not in control of the shipper at all. Other times they packaged it poorly and it predictably broke, leaked, or melted and it's entirely the

I'm seeing similar things everywhere. I stood in line for a food truck a couple years ago that offered a promotion "$2 off your order if you show us your 5-star review of our truck on [site]." Obviously, you have to do this

It absolutely does NOT matter if someone is identified as press or not. If a protest is declared an unlawful assembly and people are ordered to disperse then journalists must obey the orders given by police too. They do not have special p

If you disobey lawful orders from police this is exactly what will happen to you. I don't understand why so many people are surprised by this.

Yes! The courts do. And this is going to court now. Google is not and should not be the arbiter of truth.

If Fedex and UPS have suspended their on-time guarantee how is your company providing value to customers? Can you point me to any good resources where I can stay up-to-date on the shipping industry?

Same story here with UPS. Ordered a computer recently. Original delivery estimate was last Thursday. Then they updated and said it'd arrive yesterday. Why does a one-time delay incur four days of lateness? In four days I could&#x2
