   The fact that its a recurring revenue scheme allows them to get bonds based on that income. I think I saw that they were planning to secure $18B for a project when it was $15 for the toll.

   I finished the game and immediately went to pick up my phone to check Instagram. Before I started I had just been thinking about how my lack of capacity to focus has been causing me to get nothing done. Not sure how to escape/re-train

   Depends on the company. My company prefers you to have one incoming, but since few people do, we sponsor most people.

   A drug test is not a requirement for a security clearance.

   A security clearance doesn't necessarily mean you have to take drug tests. You do fill out paperwork about your previous drug usage though.

   I think it probably is illegal as well. My company had to settle a lawsuit with the DOJ recently for this reason.

    Profit is not and shouldn't be the primary driver for whats useful economic activity. There is a lot of good work to be done that can't or won't be sustained by the market. Basic scientific research for example.

    What did you end up using? I wanted to make diagrams for an embedded system circuit I made and ended up using PowerPoint. All of the free options seem to be focused exclusively on PCB design and not making nice graphics. Fritzing which is w

    Very different types of lectures. Small chunks of info, lots of graphical representations, etc. These are very different that the type of lectures I had in school.

    Thanks for this! I use u-block, but didn't realize there was an easy option for cookie banners/subscribe. I have been making custom filters this whole time.

    Your replies are moving the goalposts. That didn't happen. And if it did, it wasn't that bad.

    That is just not true. I want to (and do) live in high density housing and I would not be considered poor.

    This is not true in my experience. Every pizza spot is at least up to $1.50 a slice. I have only lived here 2 years, but I never see a $1 coffee. https://www.today.com/food/news/nycs-2-bros-dollar-pizza-slices-r

    Note that this is part of a trilogy that hasn't had the third book released and its been 10 years. I doubt it will be out in another 10, so tread with caution if you don't like to wait on a book release. Amazing book though.

    Yeah it is a pretty nice place to work. Downside is that we are state employees, so salaries are lower than in industry (sometimes). I know several people I work with going this route right now, so some people do it!

    Where I work allows full-time employees to get their PHD and also gives some paid time to write your thesis. You can also propose research projects that align with your thesis topic. Edit: Also tuition is free. https://careers.gt
