two - five years isn't much if you're going to be rich. unhappiness is part of life. and when you get rich enough, just quit. because you will be able to. if you're not going to be rich in any case then the answer is simple:

why not just buy something, rent it out and keep doing your job? it's not like you need to be on it full time to rent out a place. even if you have to do quite a bit of diy. i rent out rooms in my place and it's just a perfect si

you can always choose to do this. cancel your internet subscription would be the first thing to do. then you will be more productive in your free time. guaranteed. now that is a radical step but it has worked for me. what is key is creating

i dont say this a lot, but it seems this judge is biased in this case. to say the forum post was likely only intended for 'fellow modders on that forum' is not 'reasonable' at all, since generally, in all other cases, &#

a surgeon is considered replacable? they just might be the least replacable professionals out there. i don't know what he is thinking. doctors are the elite. at least where i live a surgeon can out-earn even government ministers and CE

i just worked through books (you know the ones with animals on them) and online courses like in school. i don't think stackoverflow is a great place to learn programming, it's only good for looking up specifics.

there is no good reason to use c++. it is verbose, needs two files for one class, it can cause memory leaks and security holes like no other and last but not least you need to be on the mensa list to be effective in it. really we can make t

its their competition. their rules. they get paid by the cinemas probably so it makes sense to ban competition which is killing cinemas.

really a net loss of two million on a revenue of 167000. that revenue is way too low for a company with global reach. a single person can make that much. my 'revenue' was 40k ish but at least i'm making a profit. so i'd

stand up has to be the one good thing about scrum. the rest is just boring meetings which cost too much time entirely. but 5 minutes i can spare each day. the daily accountability it brings keeps managers from firing me (i have been fired w

i think its an improvement over real prostitution for sure. also it kind of negates some of the power women have over men. isn't it better if women are not put at risk of stds, no human trafficking et cetera? i could buy a sex doll or

Yet half the web runs PHP. Why? PHP offers good functionality out of the box. Unlike these languages where you will need a hundred-thousand dependencies to build a cms. That is also why porting PHP to .net is not as simple as porting any o

last time i checked there was still a street next to the Dam with ten or so of these operations. They're not going away anytime soon. But you have to realise pot stinks immensely. it is no fun to have a street smell of weed. So some re

the thing when you build an illegal building to live in, is that it should not be obvious that: 1. a structure is here. plants should be used to hide it. 2. it should be not obvious someone lives there. so no windows or fancy shit. it sho

I really do not understand why anyone would would want to lend a startup money these rates (14%). it may sound like a high percentage but... - nobody is ultimately responsible for the debt. if the company runs out of cash, money gone. you c

these processes are beyond fixing. if you absorbed into a corporate monolith that values 'best practise' you'll just have to put up with it. however this really would not happen at any shop that is concerned with saving money

your whole nordic block has a population of 26.6 million. That's similar to Texas, not the us. in other words, what is applicable to those places may not translate to such a big country. if you start expanding it to be similar in size

another way this can happen even if there is demand is collusion. if businesses decide together to pay a certain amount for a certain job, then wages won't rise. if they decide to not pay more than their neighbour, they also won't
