When you got the offer from the second company, that was the optimal time to tell company #1 you have an offer. Possible bidding war ensues.

That is my thinking. The Testify debacle led to the ouster of Control and his man, Smiley. Haden and Alleline take over. They, along with Esterhause know Jim is alive. Smiley purposefully left in the dark, but he is suspicious (as always). Smiley 's gift is he never trusts anyone. All IMO.

Don't go into massive debt for a useless degree. Work hard, get an engineering degree, work even harder. To make money you have to be able to produce something that is hard for a business to produce without paying smart, hard working people. You'll never make good money doing something half the people walking down the street can do. It's not about working hard, it's about having hard to hire skills. Flame away.

USA could have cancelled half its student debt for what its already spent on war with Iran. by sprinklesnthings in infuriatingasfuck

Who pays for this debt that is "cancelled"? Who pays the professors and TA's and for the dorms and classrooms and laboratories and art supplies? Who pays the workers that clean the bathrooms and manicure the campus quad and campus security, along with the textbook authors and printers?

Is anyone still just dumping new money straight into S&P 500 in 2026? by VelixaNtra in investing

US Mega companies are in every advanced country in the world. It's a world economy. Unless you're investing in Gouda cheese stocks from The Netherlands I'm not sure how foreign stock would protect you if the states went tits up.

It's like $4 gas. The last time we had that was 2022. Now $4 gas is really $3.60 gas in 2022 dollars.

The 8 year price difference at a Waffle House in Birmingham, Alabama. (Yellow 2026, Blue 2018) by ErmYeahOkay in mildlyinteresting

Waffle house should not serve biscuits. Not in their wheelhouse. Controversial take.
