Yes, I am. Or if you’re asking in earnest there’s a meme of the format: “You can’t trust quotes on the internet - Abraham Lincoln” - the joke being Lincoln couldn’t have written the joke for the internet was not yet invented at the time of

I’ve wondered, for the Average Joe, if that was the case (is it?) Anecdotally, I’m used to getting recruiters for Bay Area firms reaching out for, say, a 50k jump in compensation. On paper that’s a great deal more but rents always seemed ex

In case anyone is unaware, those little buttons on the side of the screen can and usually do mute the ads. In 99% of the time I’ve tried the 2nd from the top, on the right hand side mutes them.

What type of appeal would one need to file in order to re-litigate facts? There exists charities involved in, say, DNA-based exoneration. Is there less room for non-DNA based appeals?

Would that rain have previously had somewhere to run off to, i.e. is over-development plus a lack of infrastructure projects to blame here? Or was the city already heavily developed like this and the storm just that much worse? I’m used to

Lots of firms do use a “results oriented” model, I work for such a firm and really try to work only at firms with those values. But we’re very much out of the broader societal norm here. Amazon checking that employees show up to work is ver

As the saying goes, it’s a “legal” system rather than a Justice system. So long as you follow arcane procedure and precedent, the deeper facts don’t matter and don’t get much respect from the system.

I find it interesting but for the diversity of “why” I have an Italian American friend who weirdly into the Roman Empire, kind of in a weeb kind of way but he’s a tatted up (Roman Republic full back piece!) Army veteran who would Kimura my

I feel for your ex, I have three (3) in office visits covered by my insurance that are overdue as of August. I’ve had to go back and forth on the phone in a Kafka-hell to get my insurance to cover a covered visit because of some opaque cler

Herbs should be anyone’s starter for a garden and absolutely makes for an easy break-even. We had a great run with heirloom (Cherokee Purple) tomatoes this year, purchased for $5.99 per plant at Lowe’s. Our raised bed cost about $100 to bui

My mother has a Jeep Patriot with a water leak where it kept getting into the ceiling lights, drip on the interior, or on the driver even. After 3 or 4 trips across the county to the dealership she threatened to invoke the Lemon Law on the

Picking Java feels interesting given that it’s a database. I would love to know their justification for the choice. Although - I have known a trading firm that wrote their platform in Java, offloading any disk and network access to some lim

Truth be told - we’re looking at ditching them but with banking, home, and auto we are likely stuck with them for the fact of inertia. Our mortgage was immediately sold to another firm, so there’s no nicety on the part of having a consisten

If you want to buy a home you have to pay it, even if you’re past the seven years window. Or at least that’s what USAA did to us. I had a credit card debt of about $700 after a failed startup that, when I called TD, I was unable to pay. It

The TV cart… That’s probably the memory for many (most?) grade schoolers, isn’t it? Was in a gifted and talented class that morning, we had the budget for a dedicated TV in the corner that stayed on all day with a global map showing the tim

You’re not only not kidding there can be wild disparities in opinion. I have a type of bentgrass in my lawn (South Carolina, Transition Zone) lawn considered to be either a weedy grass or a desirable grass used on some golf courses. Of cour

I don’t wish to pry in asking this but… How do you afford something that high? Were you coming into this with a trust fund or are you one of those 300k+ per year engineers? I make 130k and feel my 220k mortgage (7.5% interest sadly) is scar

I’m all for using a private accountant to handle taxes, but boy does TurboTax shit the bed on anything more complicated than a 1099. Sold a house and had a disbursement from an LLC this past year and TurboTax was under the impression we owe

As we move to more abstract systems I wonder how well we (as in companies) are keeping basic systems management capabilities in place at a personnel level. At $DAY_JOB we recently scuttled most development efforts for a week for our teams.

That raises a sticky question of how much is enough relative to the cost of their incarceration. From a pure problem-solving standpoint, we could and probably should raise that rate by a few dollars to be put in a trust disbursed upon relea

I live in the country and frequent the Dollar General for those little daily things. Jug of milk, a freezer pizza, some cat litter, a pack of beer and some hot dog buns. I don’t but these all at once in a single trip, I go there 3 or 4 time

Some firms simply hire nothing but Seniors. You trained up a Junior-Mid-Senior? Cool, well offer him 20k more and call it a day.
