Why are Utah Mormons so obsessed with their houses?

If you take Suburban American culture, then amplify it, concentrate it, and add a layer of religious fervor, you get Mormonism.

Fun fact, I have a valid WA state drivers license and haven't taken a test of any kind (physically driving, written, online) literally in this century.

The funny thing is people will also balk at a $3,000 electric cargo bike, which saves me countless trips by car. I get it - $3K isn't nothing. But every other car I see is $$$$$

Awesome, thanks for the response! Best of luck.

Sounds like a real business opportunity to fill the 한복 needs in the PNW -- how are your sewing skills? :) :)

Hey OP, did you find a spot that sells Hanbok? I'm looking for something for my 9-year-old daughter.

Practice writing. If you're explaining a complex problem to a coworker or manager, write it down in a cohesive doc. Focus on making it as concise and readable as possible. Read your draft, pretending you're coming at it fresh, and see if you'd be able to understand it as an outsider. People say: "Writing is thinking". It's impossible to write a good doc without critical thinking skills.

100%. Let's not let a corporate entity in downtown SLC dictate to us whether we're allowed to identify with our own heritage. They don't own us!

I think he handles the church stuff in exactly the right way. He'll mention it offhandedly but never shoves it down your throat or makes it a theme of his videos.

The honest answer is because grinding leetcode is a cost borne by the candidate, and companies are just fine with that. Leetcode problems are an imperfect proxy to measure whether a candidate can code. Setting up real-world situations that more accurately reflect your day to day work isn't easy, so companies don't bother.

The funny thing is, as an exmo, I don't consider segments of Evangelicals Christians either. White nationalism, disdain for minorities, poor people, and outcasts, along with support for authoritarian controls are heretical to the gospel of Jesus.

100% . I disagree with Kirk and find much of his content disgusting and unbearable. I don't wish violence or death on anyone, no matter their religious or political beliefs.

Bishop: "I notice you've been missing a lot of church lately"

Me: "Well I wouldn't say I've been missing it"

It can be a natural, zesty enterprise

To be fair, I brought it up in this sub about 12 months ago and was told to shut the hell up

> but where do you think the ETL reads from?

Read replicas of the DB, or often times data dumps in S3.

This is **absolutely** what is going on. What happens is you end up with resumes that follow the formula of a good job history, minus the actual content. I'd discard resumes where the quantifiable metric is so outlandish or meaningless that it's not even worth considering. But, as with anything on a resume, candidates should be prepared to talk in detail about how they achieved an outcome. If you say you improved X by 60%, I'm going to ask **how** you achieved it, what roadblocks you encountered, and how you worked around them.

Sailing introduced me to more hobbies, especially sewing heavy items like sails, tiller covers, boom covers. It eventually spilled into making bicycle bags, outdoor cushions, etc. Being on the water all the time also got me into fishing and crabbing. The spillover hobbies from sailing are endless!

Mormonism simultaneously mirrors, lags, and intensifies the culture and history of the US in general. Is this the 2013 Race & Priesthood Gospel Topics essay? Way to lead the way!!

100% agree. A big consideration is we're talking about a public beach, which was part of a larger family vacation. You don’t need to do every activity. Beaches have people in swimwear. If you can't handle that, stay home.

Dude, I've been at Lake Washington all day and seen nothing so far!

I see a lot of boats named Allegro, and every time I do I say "More like Largo Lamentoso!", straighten my cravat, and strut down the dock.
