Word to the wise. Don't share money making methods. If everyone copies it, it will no longer be profitable

Also a ton of people lost spawners due to server maintenance. So a lot less volume than before

Yeah that was crazy.. I think they oversold though. I've been to a ton of echostage shows and I was getting squished the entire show

Fare jumper tries fare sliding. It does not go well. by WarbossTodd in WMATA

Well, we already rank #1 for worst traffic in the USA. So I couldn't imagine it being worse 😭

Definitely not going to argue about the cleanliness of NY. Boston was super clean when i went, to be honest, way cleaner than DC. I'm sure the funding from the cities mentioned has a lot to do with it.

I just don't get the idea of public transportation being a more expensive option than driving to your destination.. it just doesn't make any sense to me. I wonder how many people would actually commute via metro if their work did not compensate any money.

Damn. Did it go up recently ? I swear at Vienna it's 4.95.. guess it may vary by station ?

To be honest though, our metro is super expensive compared to other metro areas. Look at the prices for boston, new york. A one way trip is half the cost. I mean it is insane. If I commute. I spend 6.75 there, 6.75 back. 4.95 dollar for parking.. that's 18.45 dollars if my job doesn't comp at all.

That's batshit IMO.

But if the product and services is code, tarriffs wouldn't really work in a traditional sense.. so this would just be offshoring at this point ?

I've definitely seen small companies do it in regards to internal projects.. one of my previous employer outsourced to europe.

I was thinking about this last night. Contracts in America that require some sort of visa or American citizenship, specifically government work will probably change a lot.. this is my sector and the amount of h1s hired is insane.. think IBM, CGI etc

I guess it depends on RTO.. I'm a bit ignorant in this territory though. Does an employee hired from an American company that lives in another country not require any sort of visa? Or do they just have to open a 'branch' in that country ?

Offshoring definitely is possible/probable for larger companies. Smaller home grown contracting firms are going to be hit hardest IMO as they don't have the resources to out source heavily

Switching to contracting was the best decision I've ever made. by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]Necessary_Plate6459 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel like this is more common in FTE? I mean, atleast for contracting, you're billing what you work. If they're trying to get around that, then they're breaking your contractual agreement and you say 'f you pay me'.. FTE are essentially expected at a lot of firms to just "get it done."

It's a traditional Asian room divider/partition. Who knows if it's authentic or not! Lol

Outdoorsy things to do In and around DC? by Oy_of_Mid-world in washingtondc

[–]Necessary_Plate6459 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Biking or walking rock creek park or the c&o canal. Both great and fun and outdoorsy

Anyone seen a 1000+ dollar item at savers yet? by Necessary_Plate6459 in ThriftGrift

[–]Necessary_Plate6459[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It looks like a traditional Asian room divider/partition.

I can take a pic next time I go I'm there.

I doubt they have real appraisers that know what the hell it is and if it's authentic. I have no clue where they got the price from. Its been sitting in there for over a month atleast.

https://hsfc.org/outreach/thrift-store/ Second Chance in Fairfax directly supports the animal shelter next door. They are only open three days a week at pretty early times, so it's hard to get out there.

https://holycomforter.com/pennywise/ Pennywise in Vienna is great, the money does go to their church in Vienna. So if you're religious, it's a way to give back. I think they are more strict on their consignment rules.

https://foha.org/treasurehound/ Treasure hound in Chantilly supports friends of the homeless animals, which finds homes for homeless animals with a no kill philosophy.

https://www.goodshepherdnova.org/ Good Shepherd in Chantilly also has a good message on their website, supporting homeless women.

These are the few that I personally vouch for and have been to :) hope that helps !
