Today I learned! Thanks. That actually made me feel better.

Is this the plan to run with Trump as VP and then resign so Trump can take over again?

Putin is what I imagine it would be like if a Bond villain won.

What about “special military operations” which is what Putin was calling his invasion of Ukraine?

His words are worthless.

My SO’s company asks for presentations if a candidate for certain high-level positions make it to final rounds of interviewing. It’s pitched as being a “high level overview to start a conversation, not a TED talk”. They also pay the candidates for the time to put this presentation together. I think it’s something like $200, but I am not sure.

Being asked to put together a presentation is not necessarily bad, but being asked to put in your personal time without compensation is a red flag. It speaks a lot to their culture and expectations of personal sacrifice the company likely asks of their employees.

I’ve actually been in this situation when I was working as a sys admin at a webhosting company. First I played a lot of games. Once that started to get boring I taught myself how to code which set me up to transition from sys admin to development work.

I hear it when it’s playing on a car radio or in an ad or on some show, and I acknowledge how music can spur an emotional response when used effectively, but I don’t regularly listen to it.

I’m assuming everyone here listens to music somewhat regularly

As somebody who does not regularly listen to music, I am curious why you would make this assumption.

Is it less common than it used to be or are you just becoming more aware of it?

Amid his disappearance, the football team has advanced to the Virginia regional final, scheduled for this weekend, during their 12-0 season.

I can only imagine that somebody asked “How’s the team doing?” and the reporter, instead of getting reactions from the players, just looked up their season performance.

Assuming that I am aware of the perfect predictability machine and it’s affect on the situation: I move to the other side of the lever and push it. They predictability machine would be correct in its prediction that I would not pull the lever and nobody has to die.

Some of them got side jobs, but others simply couldn’t afford the child care or gas they needed to work.

So his plan is to penalize the poor and reward the more financially affluent? Sounds on brand for him.

One byte at a time?

I thought the pic was 3 cookies and was all excited. Then I read the headline. I probably should not be left unsupervised in a lab.

Ahhh yes. The old “can we do this again, but closer to the midterm elections” play.

Guess it depends on what you think signals a strong economy.
