The positions I usually hire for are very specialised indeed, but I guess it's also comes down to cultural differences. In Norway you would usually specify at which level you know human and computer languages and it would be considered

Hopefully we'll put the CO2 back into the wells [1] and stop opening new wells :) I was quite livid when they opened a new major oil field last year but it takes time to change things. https://www.regjeringen.no/en&#x2F

The biggest advantage of Tesla in EU compared to the other is the streamlined and cheap charging network. If you don't have a Tesla you need like 10 apps for charging to travel through EU and you'll be paying through your nose for

I can taste all these "sweeteners" and they all taste bitter to me. Cola Zero actually makes me wretch. I just drink normal Cola but moderation is key. I have very few other sources of sugar and I eat mostly healthy home cooked (b

What happens if you do this via Alexa, does it just auto-order whatever it finds to whatever price it wants or does one have some control over it? I don't have any of these assistants in my house for obvious reasons but this seems like
