American, not well connected, graduated right after the housing market crash, so I suppose it could be the last one. I don’t quite believe it myself (with people proffering 500 applications just to get one position) but I had a similar expe

A good sellers agent with experience will stage your home for sale to get you the maximum possible sale price. For sale by owner is definitely an option, but it’s kind of similar to being your own lawyer. A good buyers agent won’t pressure

Alcohol actually has minimal effect on me aside from impaired coordination and feeling ill the next day, feeling a bit stupid & foggy. I just don’t enjoy it much. I do think my lying improves due to lack of inhibitions about lying (I’m

I’m fairly quick but the first thing out of my mouth is rarely correct. I’ve learned to tone that down by not responding immediately with an answer. My immediate response is almost always a set of considerations, and then I walk through my

I like my error messages to eschew anthropomorphisms. Tell me what went wrong so I can figure out how to fix it. I don’t care whose fault it is or how very sorry they are for the mistake. Even saying “the website you are trying to contact i

Physical objects are literally the worst thing to sell. As a fellow software developer I urge you to stay the hell away from hardware. So many things that can go wrong with a physical device that you can do nothing about. Also, it’s expensi

Not really, the original set had “defense” backing because of the Cold War, because nukes are useful for making, well, nukes. (As well as being an alternative to fossil fuels in the situation where that supply chain broke down). Which means
