Absolutely! There are a ton of cheap and easy ways to get calories these days. In the past we didn't need to worry so much about people understanding CICO. However, now we have two options: 1. Education 2. Banning a ton of food-types.

Man, is no one getting that this is self-deprecating, sarcastic humor? It's not meant to be serious. At all. They got rid of the jack, after making fun of others getting rid of the jack, and now they're bringing it back. The only

I do have that, actually. I'd very much like to not rely on that, though :) My post you're responding to was a little dramatic and really just a response to the idea that I cared about whether the actual work gets done. I just car

If they specifically mention race in the listing, then it's probably a program specifically meant to help a company's diversity. I definitely do not fall into that category, and would feel that I'm actively hurting that effor

Is everyone forgetting that they have a ton of cameras, sensors, lidar, etc on their cars? Messing with the cars means they have a full 3D video of you doing it.

This is already mostly the case in San Francisco. You always have to assume someone is going to jump out from behind a parked car to cross the street in SF.

That's not true. Projects, internships, and interviewing skills are how you get into companies as a uni student. GPA is maybe required for some, but it's definitely not the only thing a uni student should be showing.

I'm talking like 2012-2015ish here. I was never asked for it specifically, or asked why it was not on my resume. A few big companies asked for my transcript, but that's all. I don't even know if they looked at it. I had about
