I did the same approach. We used someone a family member used and recommended. We would send her houses we liked, and she would setup the appointments. She would offer her advice when asked, and did a great job handling the various offers w

I had an interview like that last year. It was the third interview that looped in the team lead. The team lead was answering slack messages the whole time and asked me to repeat my answer to questions a handful of times. He apologized and e

I am not sure if I would say Minecraft is the impetus, but a large (if not a majority) of games that come out these days are follow an "early access" style development that Minecraft did. Even large AAA games, while not "earl

Literally just talked to a friend a few days ago who did this same exact thing. He carried a balance for about 2 months and also did not have his account disabled.

I was surprised when my Dad, someone completely detached from the tech world, brought up Google's tendency to cancel stuff. He was a Google Music subscriber and still uses Chromecast Audio. Last year he tried buying another Audio devic

Have you looked into doing drops for pets? Both of my dogs get bad seasonal allergies. Their paws get so itchy they will lick the fur off unless we get them help. The allergies start up in July and persist until the first frost of the seaso

These people are starting to get vaccinated now though[1], which actually causes issues with the study. [1]: https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2021/02/19/9691430...

Well I will say if we were friends on Facebook and I saw that post come up in my feed, I would have just removed you as a friend. Even with context, I don't see how that can be interpreted as anything but shitty.

You very clearly have zero clue what life is like while incarcerated. You should be embarrassed by this comment.

The two things I've seen: 1. People bringing up things representatives of Texas said about California last year during the fires, and using that as ammo. I think this is just a case of people hating these representatives and throwing i

I would just leave it at empathy personally. I've had technically minded managers, but my best manager actually empathized with the issues I was having and advocated for me when I needed it. She basically helped me handle non-technical

I have also used multiple shared Keepass files at work and the issue isn't a lack of smoothness. There have been multiple instances of sync/dataloss issues where you have to refer to an old version or find someone who has the late

As someone who loves Factorio, there is a lot about the process of the game that I don't love. Especially after having 'completed' about 4-5 factories with a friend, you get to a point where you know how to accomplish a task,

If I have learned anything over the last few years it's that things could always be worse, and that denialism will exist in any scenario or condition.

That is certainly a problem. I intentionally applied to companies I had some knowledge or interest in, but I definitely had to bullshit more when I knew less about the company. I tried to take the approach of putting my cards on the table;

I did some interviewing last year. I've been in my current position for about 5 years; I enjoy it, but was looking to see what else was out there. After going through about 5 interviews I decided to call it quits. The entire process of

It's not the same. Twitter is designed to constantly pump content and social engagement at you. Once you start scrolling on Twitter, it takes some effort to put it down. HN is designed to show you 30 "trending" stories at a t

Only thing I've learned is to brush my teeth before taking the dogs on their morning walk. Also my wife has to wear a mask all day at work and gets her 10,000+ steps in before she gets home. No problems in regards to feeling sick.

Yeah I have been pleasantly surprised with how good Amazon's customer support is. In contrast I've had a Google wifi and home device stop working on me, and it was nearly impossible to get in touch with a customer support rep from

I haven't had to restart it, but the app does seem flaky. My biggest issue is the UI; every time I use it I have to relearn how to find the section I am looking for. With that said, I do like how they curate and surface movies based on

I did web dev from 2012-2015, until I moved into doing security engineering. I started doing some React tutorials on the side in December and now have a small project at work that uses it. I do not consider myself a web dev, so I will take

The thing that kills me is the handful of responses of people defending it by basically saying "people will go to the movies after covid", without the context of where AMC was at before covid. Even during it's best years, AMC

Before the pandemic, I worked in a building that had a wasp problem. It was not uncommon for a wasp to fly out of the heating vent and hang out in my office.

This hit mainstream this week. There are people out there now buying stock based on a Reddit thread because they think it will get them some quick cash. I am pretty much in like with the OP in that this is definitely paternalism, and I have

I don't think "While mocking people with disabilities and homophobia is frequent, I have yet to see any racism or xenophobia" is the defense you think it is.

Finding something good second hand takes time and luck. A lot of second hand stuff is garbage because the good stuff is snatched up quick.
