Sitting down with a good movie and a bowl of tide pods.

Tomorrow: 3 Million hacked smart fridges were used to spread misinformation that the 3 million toothbrush story wasn't true.

I'm in NYC and a big mac meal is $13 including tax in midtown according to their app. The one in the article is at some rest stop in CT and is almost certainly some franchise owner gouging, which is the real reason prices are so high.

You are my hero, I looked for something like that but hadn't found it. Thank you!

Any of the ads that have started autoplaying when I turn on my FireTV Cube. It pisses me of so much I'm actively avoiding the shows and movies they're promoting.

I'm approaching 40 this year. Around 20, I missed an important uni deadline, and meant the degree I had planned would cost me an extra year I couldn't afford (like literally couldn't afford the tuition). Managed to finish, but with a degree no one would recommend. Was absolutely panicked.

Ultimately, ended up very successful in a job in a country on the other side of the world. Met the woman who is now my wife of 13 years, had some amazing adventures, moved to a few more different countries, changed industries again about 10 years ago, and worked my way up to upper management again before leaving that field too.

TL;DR No, stress has brought me nothing but misery, I have no regrets except that I didn't enjoy the ride as much as I could have.

Learn new stuff as you work, or as hobbies (my entire second career started as a hobby). Don't be afraid to "fake it till you make it" and keep an eye out for jobs you didn't even consider as a possibility. I personally avoid corporate gigs, smaller independent companies are more likely to notice you and use you for the skills you bring. Life can fly by, enjoy the ride.

They need to calm down.

Everything's all right then?

In her defense (vomits quietly), it's really getting hard to keep track of all his legal proceedings.

It took me like 10 minutes to figure out what this post was about. Feels good to know I'm qualified to work on the NPR social marketing team.

Fun fact from Wikipedia:
Ileana Garcia won in 2020 against incumbent José Javier Rodriguez by a margin of 34 votes.

Alex Rodriguez "ran" in the same race as a third party candidate, and despite not campaigning, recieved over six thousand votes. Likely because he shared the same last name as the Dem. Former Republican State Senator Frank Artiles has been arrested for bribing Alex to run and Alex will be testifying against him as part of his plea deal.

No wonder she has a soft spot for criminals.

“we’re not convinced it’s legitimate,”

Wow, that's terrible, maybe someone should introduce some legislation to regulate these monsters...

I never understood the You Have Failed Me trope. If I found myself on the side where failing, or being too successful (being a threat) equals death, I'd switch sides as soon as I can. But I suppose this is just the human nature of fascism, and perhaps baffling to non-fascists.

It's 37,000 pages of documents.
$18k is for paper copies ($.50 a page)
$5,500 for digital, to cover the cost of scanning and redacting.
Or he can come to the office to review the files for free (though he's claiming the travel costs are prohibitive).

The likely perpetrators are in jail for theft from his son and have been ordered to pay $330k to his family. Prosecutors don't think they can make murder stick.

I feel for the grieving father, but I'm afraid my outrage meter isn't dinging on this one.

Psh, my fetish is thrusting into an empty vacuum.

Even in financial terms "sustainably" always pisses me off. None of these companies are trying to sustain, they demand constant growth to be happy. Never ending growth is never sustainable.

This one drives me crazy. Wife and I were walking home late from a night out, wanted McDs (alcohol was involved). The only options were drive through and app ordering for drive through pick up. Thankfully the woman at the uber pickup window let us app order and pick up there, but they aren't supposed to...

I just watched, he does jump in once or twice, but seems like satellite delay awkwardness mostly.

After laying out the question, "what are the (details of the) allegations of Biden's supposed insurrection" Sanchez gives him loads of time to look like the fool he is.

The video for those who'd like to watch and are hitting the RS paywall:

It's pretty hilarious, he clearly didn't come prepared for the most basic of follow-up questions.

Honestly, that sounds amazing, and illustrates why, "can you explain this gap on your resume" is such a bull shit interview question.
