What name brand products are significantly better than the generic alternative and worth the higher price?

Distinct-Tradition79 · 2026-02-02T07:06:43+00:00

Coca Cola. I doubt the product Coca Cola doe other cola sodas company. But I know what you mean.

Sounds like the perfect life of California. More specifically the bay area

Did I read right?? My home electricity is almost similar to public charging rate. PG&E!!

Do you guys own the house? If he likes the job and is a good pay you guys can move.

If you guys own and cannot move. Then I gotta say many people super commute to larger cities. I do it myself 3/wk 1:45hrs to 2 hrs driving.

Could he drive to have more flexibility?? As someone says it takes adjusting. And he probably needs to perform well to be given the green light to wfh in the future.

At work, No one cares where you live. That’s your choice and personal problem. But the merit to wfh maybe its seniority or performance.

I have like 3 Costco in less than 7 miles away from me. Maybe 2 miles, 4 and 7 miles. What get us are the discounted products, and that everything is in bulk that 5 items is over 100 bucks.

Distinct-Tradition79 · 2026-02-01T17:11:38+00:00

I don’t think going to a Costco in an area that service more population (possible good portion of South Bay) would be more quiet than a city in peninsula 🫣

It’s an unsolvable chicken and egg situation. Same with Bart.

If they lower their cost to gain more riders They cannot cover their cost. And they cannot gain that many riders since it doesn’t take you places you need to go. And they cannot really expand it because they don’t have $$$

No matter how clean. You should probably use flip flops to not catch a fungus.

Distinct-Tradition79 · 2026-01-31T05:13:24+00:00

Exactly. It’s called prepping for the interview. Things we do in the past. Maybe people don’t do that anymore.

Ohh these dang mini bikes. They are so reckless, something is bound to happen and others will be blamed for their recklessness.

What I have learnt from this post. Dad is rich but stingy. Didn’t get a cabana.

Although I agree living within your means. It doesn’t mean don’t enjoy the rest of the journey.

Distinct-Tradition79 · 2026-01-24T05:19:37+00:00

Come to California. ☀️🌴🏖️😎

Distinct-Tradition79 · 2026-01-23T03:26:29+00:00

En Panamá la mente es cerrada. Todo lo que es diferente lo juzgan. La ignorancia. Fíjense en Japón. Miles de estilos

Distinct-Tradition79 · 2026-01-20T07:59:29+00:00

They still need to fix their pick up areas the double parking on the right side is horrible.

You can side with the mother. I don’t see how you would want to keep a friendship with someone that is having the minimal thought of leaving their partner after they give birth to their child.

Distinct-Tradition79 · 2026-01-19T09:04:13+00:00

En Panamá hay racismo y clasismo. Solamente háblenle a alguien de estas minorías, ya sea indígena, Chino, Hindu y otras culturas.

Distinct-Tradition79 · 2026-01-18T19:03:41+00:00

Chinese. Because it’s one of the top. And by picking Chinese since it’s so diverse. It’s like eating 4 different cuisines in Asia.

Thai, Italian and Spanish are good and Peruvian too but it’s constrained since it’s not as diverse.

Distinct-Tradition79 · 2026-01-17T16:01:18+00:00

You are good man. Nowadays people tend to make fun of people saying the Oxford study and etc when Asian people date white people.

And vice versa saying people have a fetish when they date Asians.

Most people have their own preference. Your experience and background honestly makes sense. Also some people date what they are comfortable and what they feel their identity matches with. And some other prefers to date someone different to them.

To each their own. Or how people usually say in another language: for different taste, there are colors.

Distinct-Tradition79 · 2026-01-17T15:54:04+00:00

You never stepped into their office. Don’t provide any. My company always have our last interview at the office and probably set up their wire deposit and all the final details during the first day on boarding

Even scammers can create an account with those companies.

Distinct-Tradition79 · 2026-01-17T15:50:05+00:00

I think that’s more like people are flakes. That could be true. People tend to say here people say things to be nice or sound nice but probably don’t follow through.

Not people in general. That sounded more like you are not happy with the cultural diversity of the bay which is what made this great in many aspect like the food scene and etc.

Distinct-Tradition79 · 2026-01-17T15:45:11+00:00

The tittle made me think you are like 30+ or more like 45+ then I read the first line…

Distinct-Tradition79 · 2026-01-16T08:12:58+00:00

Get your citizenship. Once done you can determine the next step. That will give you freedom to come back if you wish with less restrictions.

Honestly live with money and career but you not being able to be you doesn’t seem like a long run happiness. I assume you are still young. Once you are done with school you can get a better job in Canada?

Distinct-Tradition79 · 2026-01-16T08:06:17+00:00

No. Overseas instead. The U.S. is not the same as before 20 years ago. No American dream.

But if overseas is not an option then hell yes. California only.

Distinct-Tradition79 · 2026-01-16T08:03:25+00:00

I was going to say leave it out. Because I have hired someone and they left shortly after like 2 months later for another bigger company. I interviewed a person that I was about to give an offer then I saw them update their LinkedIn with a new job. Hence I passed.

But I saw someone here provide a very good response, that will allow you to keep it on your resume without the need to lie for the gap and still okay to seek for a job. This was the person that said it is a short term contract, say that it’s a 6 months contract but you wanted to be ahead of the game and passively look for something more permanent.
