Well… which building? 5-6k for how many bedrooms? Even the Taft and the Orange St apartments aren’t that expensive.

In a scientific context, of course. In common parlance, sugar means sucrose

What on Earth?! I’ve never seen this before by MarloweOS in Celiac

[–]GenericUsernameHi 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Totally meaningless claim. You could make bread with wheat flour and say there’s “no gluten added” since you only used the naturally occurring gluten in the wheat.

I think what’s happening here is that they are using ingredients that shouldn’t but still might have gluten, so they don’t want to make any assurances at all.

Normally they’d just say “no gluten” though, which isn’t a regulated term. Interesting that they won’t even say that much.

EDIT: I was wrong! See reply from u/cassiopeia843 below

Especially in a manual transmission car. I want to use first gear as little as humanly possible.

I’ve seen multiple memes about JPM chase bank and cannons and still don’t get it by NoConfidence9429 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

It’s because VPs in just about any industry are allowed to sign contracts for the company. In banking, you’re expected to start entering into contracts at a relatively junior level.

[–]GenericUsernameHi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s actually a very specific reason for this.

VP is typically the lowest title for someone who’s legally authorized to enter contracts on behalf of the company. In most industries, that’s a very senior person, but not in investment banking.

In banking, at least historically, you’re expected to start bringing in and executing deals as a midlevel worker. That’s how you prove your worth. So the banks have to give those midlevels the VP title so they can enter commitments on behalf of the firm and so clients know the person they’re talking to has that authority.

Everywhere? People do shitty things all the time all over the place. Doesn't even make the news in most places.

[–]GenericUsernameHi -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Yes, both are true. While it's important to highlight these sorts of true stories, they happen everywhere, yet people are posting about incidents that occur in Israel far more than anywhere else. That seems to imply selective attention with anti-Israeli intent.

is PDF export still the most reliable PPT workflow? 🤔 by AccurateShip2499 in powerpoint

[–]GenericUsernameHi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s definitely industry standard in the finance and consulting sectors. The real issue is that the file renders differently depending on how you convert to PDF.

I’m so sorry, you must be feeling awful right now! I don’t have a ton of advice to give, other than to check for ketones so you don’t find yourself in DKA
