Southwest's service is pretty thin in some places. Highly likely you won't get a flight the same day if you cancel to avoid the 737-HCF. Then, you have to explain to Great Aunt Greta why you won't be at Thanksgiving. Better

You can look up the plane by its tail number. But you're still at the mercy of the airline. If they do an equipment swap, you're not entitled to change or cancel. You'd only have the option not to fly, forfeiting the cost o

This is a weird statement. There's nothing exclusive about the Model 3 or the criminally ugly SUV. Now, if you meant to say that the Model S is exclusive, you'd be right. Buying one of those puts a person in the exclusive club o

I'll just say it: They don't pay enough. Someone who can pass their interviews and earn $300k in SF can just as easily earn $150k in Mayberry. And that $150k goes a lot farther in Mayberry than $300k does in San Francisco. I&#x2

Sounds like they're doing all the things that have a hope of working without voluntarily dismantling their economy. We should envy them, not drag them down to our level.

No. He'd get just as C&D'd if he taught people how to make "Kleenex-style tissues" from wood pulp or "Ford-style cars" from spare parts on eBay.

Terroir matters. And most of the price difference results from cachet anyway. A benefit of living in France is that there are plenty of great wines available for less than 10 Euros. They don't get exported because, I'd imagine,

I don't miss the office at all, and I never want to go back. If management asks us to go back full-time, I will start looking for another job. I'm happier and more productive than ever. I never want to go back to rotting in a c

I guess you're referring to the sham McCarrick report? Getting thrown under the bus by the crowd who wrote it is a sure sign of sainthood.

Great engineers are engineers who build great software. Estimating is not and never was part of the job. Don't be guilted into thinking you aren't great just because you don't have a crystal ball.
