Do they not remember your decision? Most sites I visit never have them and if they do, only need to select it once.

I get so frustrated when I have to do _anything_ with my Microsoft account that never needed it before. Installing and running docker on windows was a nightmare lol

Seems its quite easy to get arrested for posting stuff online too. I hardly ever agree with the content but scares me to see people getting arrested for what amount to opinions.

I think this is a big part of it. I remember growing up reading Harrison Bergeron (in school) and always thinking there's no way such a system would ever come about by the will of the people... yet SF proves people are all too happy to

It's been a thing every since I can remember. Whichever side losses claims some sort of voter fraud. Fraud exists and should heavily be punished but I think its effects are overstated by everyone.

Jw, how do you use it everyday? When I fist got a VR set, I was blown away because I was expecting a "cheap gimmick" but it really felt like something new and amazing. Only problem is, its rarely worth the effort to get it up and

This is silly, IMO. Google does the same thing sometimes, when it presents just the text result first (usually from forums). It's been downright incorrect sometimes but using the context and clicking the link, you can find an answer.

1. I really doubt its being used to the extent that this article implies 2. How much of that 10% is actually significant? If a week or so difference in the start and end of the measurement makes a big difference, I don't think the pri

Nothing new. Family from Eastern Europe had to deal with this bs with communism. It was always the fear of neighbors “ratting you out” made everyone paranoid. You had to be on board or risked being “taken away.”

I think the chances of getting killed in a random stabbing is low in SF… and this is from someone that really hates going into any city. However, the crime in general… that’s not something one can claim is “cherry picked.” I know of severa

and ironically, WFH will only make things worse. I don’t “hate” the city but have no idea why anyone would start a business there in 2023.

I feel like at least ~10 years ago you could justify it. At any rate, I think its safe to say the best days are behind.

Even better, government workers in the US get pretty generous PTO too. It works on a bit of a "banking system" but 25 days + holidays isn't even particularly impressive for a Government position of that seniority. https:&#x

No, it wouldn't be on par with FAANG but it would still be 3-4x higher. An "IT Specialist" at the US Treasury gets paid between $150-180k. https://www.usajobs.gov/job/716266700
