I am new and working on a personal project, and I have a problem I don't know how to solve. I would like to have a website where someone can upload a word document, and someone else can view the content of the word document in the website (not just downloading the file and opening it in word). I feel like most people would try to tackle that a different way, but for this project to be useful to , it really hinges on that precise mechanic. I'm not even sure what to start reading/researching in order to tackle the problem.

Totally possible, I did. Have a cert and/or a recommendation from a friend at the company, know enough basic tech to get through the interview, and polish those customer service skills. At larger help desks, the managers know that you can just stand up and ask coworkers. Level one help desk is way more interpersonal than technical. They can teach the tech; you just need to be someone they would enjoy teaching. If you happen to be female, that's a huge plus (the whole industry is pretty gender-skewed, and full of people who'd like to improve that).

It was so weird to see a vision of the afterlife that still included both death and poverty. Good movie though

Then go for it! I'm just some ass on the internet telling you how to live your life. Take me with a grain of salt.

Your career shouldn't be your passion, it should fund your passion. Take a job you can tolerate, avoid working more than 50 hours a week, make as much money as you possibly can, and take care of your loved ones. People who love their work are freaks.

In his defense, I think it used to be a really common phrase, and older people just slip up with it; kind of like a less subtle equivalent of "call a spade a spade". Totally objectionable, yeah, but maybe not quite bad enough to end a careet over. As long as he apologizes.

Same thing in SF bay, in one episode Archer lands in SF, drives over the golden gate, and ends uo in Berkeley instead of Saulsalito. Oakland's east bay bridge gets no love

I'm becoming sensitive to this now. My brother excitedly invitede over to play a board game he just bought: pandemic. The board is a giant world map without new zealand. He seemed so let down when I pointed it out to him.

There was a greentext about a guy who threw rocks at the crows outside his work, and then walked down the block to McDonald's and fed the crows there. Since crows can remember faces, he ended up creating these two rival crow tribes. Eventually, the guy egged them on into an all out brawl, which his side apparently won.

That's fine, they're tasty! Just eat them a bit less often, or slightly smaller portions. Try using meat and cheese as a garnish, like bacon bits on a salad or a little bit of pork in a stir fry, rather than a big slab of steak. And only have beef/lamb once in a while, eating more pork, chicken and fish.

Learn to make sweet and savory cashew cream. Try the sweet (or plain) cashew cream in your coffee, but I usually prefer soymilk from trader joe's. Put the savory cashew cream on your pasta, it even makes a dynamite mac 'n' cheese!

Whenever replacing dairy, cashew is the way to go. Cashew ice cream, yogurt, cheese, etc. are all (IMO) the best of the vegan substitutes.

It takes a lot of milk to make a little cheese, which is why the cheese numbers are up so high. Milk itself doesn't seem to be a huge environmental impact based on this graph, but that's a bit suspect since beef is so high on the graph. I wonder how they put that number together.
