I’ve just realized I’ve stopped buying stuff at Amazon that I can find at other, more reliable, stores. Recently I bought a new laptop at BestBuy, even though it was a $100 cheaper at Amazon. Legos, headphones, stuff for the kitchen… all bo

In my case the bees (Africanized bees) were really aggressive. Some kids were throwing rocks in their beehive a few seconds before my sister and I passed by (that was in an almost deserted public street). The bees were really angry and we

Unfortunately no. It’s a very simple app that doesn’t get in the way. I tried using others that were bloated and it was hard to do simple things. I basically need to create multiple routines and have a timer between sets.

At least on Instagram for iOS, you have the option to tap the Instagram logo on the top left corner and choose "Following". It will only show posts from the accounts you follow and, at least for me, there are barely ads there.

At least in the US, there are regulations for placement of a propane tank that depends, among other things, size and capacity of the tank.

Fair point. I was just pointing out that caring for it is not that hard. Basically same thing I do with my non-stick minus the oil.

When I cook with my cast iron, I wash it by hand using regular dishwashing soap and a non-scratching sponge. Dry it and then coat with a bit of oil before storing it away. Easier than caring for my SS where from time to time I need to use B

My experience is that you might be able to fake up to a certain point. After that, the interviewer can keep throwing curve balls and see how the candidate will approach those. Of course, it all depends on the problem given. I’ve seen system

Systems design questions are the only part of interviews that I actually like and find useful for evaluating actual knowledge - I mean, I think it’s harder to fake it than memorizing a bunch of problems and their solutions on Leetcode.
