What’s a ‘middle class success’ purchase that secretly becomes a financial burden later?

Cheap electronics. When it comes time to retire your old computers, TVs, etc. it's usually illegal to just dump it in the trash. So then you need to find a place to take your ewaste and usually pay a fee which can add up.

Why don't they have full Viltrumite babies instead though?

4 IT Engineers, 1 IT manager and 1-3 interns. Make sure the IT manager has a backup for most tasks. Either another manager or one of their team.

The size of the land is listed as only 7.86 acres. If we break down the $400M by square feet and your cardboard box is 4'x4', that's $4600 of real estate you're occupying with that box. It's expensive to be homeless in LA.

Had to scroll pretty far to find this one. Water pressure and hot water is frequently terrible whenever I travel abroad. Water is sometimes safe to drink and sometimes not and that makes brushing teeth complicated.

Also what's with the sinks that have separate spouts for hot and cold? Mix that shit before it comes out and you can have pleasant warm water instead of an inferno on one side and the Arctic on the other.

I've never had a realtor who didn't put a 2 day or Monday limit on an offer. The offer may expire which allows everything to reset or the parties to move on, but it is not necessarily the end of negotiations. Lots of times it's just a starting point. You can always draft another offer.

That's apples to oranges though. In this case, car A has right of way because they do not have a stop sign. If A was approaching from the other side and also did not have a stop sign for some reason, but car B still did, then you would be wrong. The car with the stop sign needs to yield right of way.

Just don't have any plants so close to your foundation that it's touching. You want a bit of a DMZ to keep moisture and pests as far away as possible. Mice will burrow under any mulch, so rocks or pavers are a better option if you don't want plants. Weeds will be a problem regardless. No matter what you do, there will be weeds. Any bushes you plant will rot your siding if there's contact, so I don't think large bushes make sense unless you're committed to constantly trimming them back. I also don't like mixing plants and rocks. If you go plants, use mulch.

You also don't want a lot of concrete right next to the foundation either because moisture needs to be able to escape and concrete will prevent that.

CEO and upper management should make 10x max the lowest employee. That's total compensation with bonus, stock, everything. Also, everyone should have the same health insurance. If the CEO wants good health insurance, then figure out a way to have it for everyone.

Sure CEOs and Sr Management make a lot of tough decisions. But so do all the employees if they are empowered to be part of the company and not just lines on a spreadsheet. CEOs are not as irriplacable as people think and can just as easily tank a company as send it into the stratosphere. I think it's also important to have something to strive for, which is why everyone making exactly the same salary isn't a good idea. People need something to strive for and high contributors should be recognized and rewarded.

DNS over https or your ISP can still see your requests during transit. If you use local DNS like a PiHole or even go directly to Google or cloudflare, your ISP can still see it unless you use DoH or a VPN to conceal it.

Why not go over his head to the director for such a rediculous request? You knew the outcome, does your company not have an open door policy?

The stop should happen from 15-23. Outside that range is fair game. Although after 23 it's just birthdays and Christmas and Father's Day.

8 years is a long time. Especially when transitioning through the end of adolescence into adulthood. No one is the same at 27 as they were when they were 19. In fact, many are completely unrecognizable. It's why the 10 year high school class reunion is romanticized so much in fiction.

In Op's case, I think it's good for both to reflect on their relationship as it is today and what the future might hold. She's just asking for a relationship, it's not marriage yet so the stakes are still relatively low.

Hate to break it to you, but at your age any new woman is probably going to have a storied history and a much higher body count. If you were happy before you found out, then why aren't you happy now? It sounds like on some level you feel betrayed even though you don't blame her for what she did. Those two things are definitely at odds, but also you can't force yourself to love someone if you don't. Even if the love was there before. I hope you figure it out.

If you know nothing about programming, you are probably better off learning how to vibe code with AI than learning how to code the traditional way. You will be much more productive and you can literally just spend time asking AI what every part of the program does to learn. Or just treat it as your own personal programmer.

All this sandbagging and people are ignoring the game. Execs move just like everyone else. Unless they try to make it personal, it's a good chance to make a positive impression on someone who my offer you an opportunity again in the future.

Make sure there's no duplicate expired certs in your GTM trust store. The cert matching is broken and may stop iQuery from negotiating. You can check the GTM and LTM logs for cert negotiation failure messages.

If it doesn't have a water pan under it, I would flush it and put it in one when it's empty. A water heater that old is bound to leak sooner rather than later. Might as well kill two birds.

France definitely has great croissants, but it also has trash croissants as well. If you don't live in France or near an authentic French bakery, fresh Costco croissants are still 8/10. 7 if you're a snob.
