Very similar here. Trying to reframe for myself so I’m less frustrated all the time but I’d really prefer to not have to deal with this for the rest of my life.

$1 “any size” soda at McDonald’s up to 40oz where I live, with free refills. Most everyone I know spent a good amount of their teen and early adulthoods surviving off of cheap food - fast food is incredibly convenient and as cheap as a heal

Similar situation here - I’m slowly starting to look to get up and do something other than focus on therapy and healing. I’ve taken a bit of time off, and I’m struggling still to change my mindset from survival towards more self actualizati

One of the solutions they’re trying now is for the state to give development quotas to municipalities, and threaten to break up single family zoning areas if not. That it’s such a huge issue in 2 separate massive municipalities makes me agr

The cheese and prepared food sections (salads, wraps, cooked chicken etc) are both extremely cheap compared to regular grocery stores, and of decent quality. A slice of brie is almost double the price in safeway from TJs. OTOH meat is more

Kroger and Kroger owned stores turn over employees like crazy - I have several friends who’ve described really horrendous conditions. I don’t think there’s a lot of benefit in their union, that or it was so awful before that even bad condit

It does seem in our world where there is such relative fear of the other that a bit of structure would help a lot. Not sure if this is it, but I think it’s thinking along the same lines. I think about this a lot in that how many relationshi

Was it that the person set up their own Corp to “manage” the relationship, and then took a fee/commission from the contractor in order to gain access to Netflix? That sounds more plausible, and akin to what goes on in the corporate lob

It’s incredible to me that the one being bribed gets a conviction but the corporation doing the bribing gets absolutely no punishment, other than people reading on here knowing Sumo and Netskope have questionable business practices and we’r

What are the fallback plans here in case of a hack like this? Assign new numbers, somehow? Require all financial activities be done in person? The implications all seem awful

Gaming market spends the most of any home electronics user except ultra rich mansion hi-fi outfitters. Entry gaming laptops are $1300, entry GPUs are $400 if you can find them. Not competing against consoles, but against big rig gaming PCs,

I kinda don’t get the branding then, why are the pro’s a completely different fit AND different sound quality, like wouldn’t you want a choice in ear fit to exist for both regular and pro?

No ear caps is instant no buy for me - I literally cannot keep the previous AirPods in my ear and if I do it causes aching, while I can use the pro’s without issue. Or is it just a refresh of the original AirPods?

Kind of surprising to me they’re not making more effort towards game support - maybe someone can explain what the barriers are towards mac support - is it lack of shared libraries, x64 only, sheer number of compute cores? When I see the spe

Not that easily, especially when there are things that are rarely used in actual development that CS courses force you to memorize - it’s hard to know what is important and what is not. Code interview prep books being 400+ pages kind of sho

To get a good setup in JS there’s a ton of things that are nativeish in other languages (at least via IDE) that are wholly exposed via the package management stuff. The upside of the configurability is you can mix and match, and build somet

I installed ESLint into a new project and my package.lock file expanded to 3000 lines. I understand what problem it was trying to solve but the sheer inelegance of it sort of gives everything a jank feel, like you have no idea what’s runnin

It’s absolutely true, and interviews at most companies are set up like “did you take an algorithms course”, with questions like “develop a path finding algorithm (a*)” for web frontend work. I am self taught and got “lucky” finding a small

I also am not strongly on one side there, but I can think of a few incentives for Walgreens to not say admit that certain stores are being closed due to lack of profits (indicating perhaps to investors that they've overbought in many a

Walgreens has the data on this so they can choose to put it up, if they care about people believing them.

Walgreens could easily respond by putting up historical store revenues and profits that show year over year increasing tear from each store they closed. The DA put up numbers showing that in the past 2 years thefts have gone down. I’ll for
