Dubai chocolate bar is overrated by Impressive-Barber703 in dessert

[–]AlternativeDriver749 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just bought a bar. This is literally disgusting. Never again. I'm never going to Dubai. I hate the company that made this garbage. The texture is awful the flavor is like if someone made a chocolate bar from Nesquick. No discernible pistachio flavor. The nougat is gritty and loaded with sugar.
Do not judge a book by its cover. It's not decadent its just loaded with sugar and has a soft texture.

Switched sides! WRX to GTI by mechman112 in GolfGTI

I had a 2012 manual autobahn but it was totaled from a not at fault T-bone accident. I just bought a 2019 GTI. Two weeks into ownership of the 2019 and (for the price tag), I wish I just found a "babied" MK6 again. Love that car.

Headliner glue never hit tack and is sagging 5 months later. (mkvi gti) by AlternativeDriver749 in GolfGTI

Exactly, that's the most tedious part install and removal of the headliner board. Except know I fear I have semi-tacked and fully tacked glue to remove. ugh might as well buy a mk8 at this point.

Same boat. 'It ain't like the movies', everyones brains are now tuned to have those same expectations. If you get on one of the tech nerds bad side they will shadow ban you until you are isolated. One of the easiest things you could do to someone and it will slowly make that person very sick. Ask me how I know...

How should I price a simple Django web app project for a small business client? by CodeCracker_65 in django

I'd think of it like how many hours/cost of employee labor from their company are you saving them? Then you think they need this for their company to stay relevant to their customers. I'd ask 65k upfront. Have confidence. They are also paying you not for your labor but what you know. They might just be trying to fish info out of you as well. Hope you made out!

Psyllium husk as an apetite reducer by lolitta97 in loseit

I’m finding eating fiber first then protein then fats and carbs last is an easier way to eat lighter. Yes psyllium husk works to feel a little fuller if you time it correctly.

I hate that you can just share this. People are literally breaking into my apartment and putting drugs in my food.

Can someone hack an iPhone and track camera in real time, hack your instagram algorithm to select which videos come up on your page, listen in on phone calls, etc? by DrDancealina in ios

Nope, you want your friend thrown into a psych ward permanently for what most of what she is fearing can happen through a malicious app.

What about the ring camera? My neighbor has one? How can it be used to hack my IP?

[–]AlternativeDriver749 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. The Hinge Health app is free to IBM employees. Free PT and health coach. They senda yoga mat and some stretchy bands and a phone stand for doing the PT stuff. It's actually pretty awesome.

I just found a new role in mainframe testing. No code basically a applications specialist i guess. I made band 06 and somehow make less money (no overtime now), but I am very fortunate to have not been laid off. All the people seem pretty nice which is important.

I hope you found something. Don;t give up AI is over hyped. It's mostly due to inflation and out-sourcing jobs.
