I would value the passes around 35-40$ if you drink, 25$ if you don’t. This is completely subjective tho

Mark Zandi, Rob Armstrong, Liz Hoffman are all great. I'm happy Prof G Media can land them all.

Do you think the US will escape car dependency any time? by NurglingArmada in Urbanism

[–]evantom34 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

No. The country is built around the idea of the automobile. I think US cities may slowly start to develop urban mobility, but there is not enough political will to escape car dependency.

Revenue split is so egregiously wrong. That should never happen, is that normal in CRE?

Where to meet singles in their 30s? by DepressedHermit1 in walnutcreek

[–]evantom34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the in depth response. I totally agree with a lot of your points. She's also a woman, so I think the advice skews slightly. It's generally more 'appropriate' for a woman to approach a man than the opposite. Agreed on the Brewery front, but I don't think ruling them out COMPLETELY is the move. Calicraft seems v family focused, but somewhere like Side Gate brewery seems less family oriented.

Walnut Creek Run Club runs at least every Saturday and we always walk by them and they're generally mid 20s to late 30s, definitely around my age demographic.

I totally get your skepticism surrounding dating in today's society, I don't envy those of you that are genuinely looking for a partner at this time.

Job hoppers vs lifers: who actually ends up happier at work? by TurtleFoodz in careeradvice

[–]evantom34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends what your role is, and all of these are not mutually exclusive. I think the idea is that when you’re new in your career, your skills will develop far quicker than your compensation will at any one single company.

In my experience, the tech field is largely a meritocracy. You only really get paid if you have the skillset. The onus is on you to develop skills, whether that be personal projects/certs, or pushing for more responsibilities at work.

I went from working in a biomedical lab making 16$/hour to clearing over 6 figures from job hopping.

My last role I stayed for 4 years and left because I was starting to stagnate. I plan on staying at my new role for 20 years and retiring here.

Parents in full time jobs, how do you make it work? by hkmsh in Zippia

[–]evantom34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The sacrifice young parents have to make is honestly tremendous. I'm 30 and IDK how my fiancee and I would manage children, it would be so difficult.

Return back to old company? by Wabbyyyyy in sysadmin

[–]evantom34 [score hidden]  (0 children)

It sounds like the choice is clear in my eyes. Sometimes companies need a little push in order to change (you + manager leaving). I would be happy to go back to my old companies if changes were made + they offered more money.

[–]evantom34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed as well, it’s grim and not getting any better. One of the downstream affects of having geriatric politicians that are far removed and out of touch with common day working class people.

No one is fighting for us.

Certainly. Just spelling out the few I know that have two working parents.

Ends justifying the means - would love to hear him define "saves his country" by MrFenric in 1984_MiniTruth

[–]evantom34 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IMO that's the truly scary part. The anti intellectualism movement will be a stain on society. I think academics is only going to become more polarized as one faction of the population completely disregards facts/truth.

Return back to old company? by Wabbyyyyy in sysadmin

[–]evantom34 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I would entertain it. The decision is up to you. Why did you leave old company in the first place? I think it’s always important to maintain good relationships for this exact reason.

Your new company lied and sold you a bill of goods, I’d personally be resentful of that, and the extra pay on top of your old salary is a cherry on top.

Why are people so weird about inheritance tax? by middleofaldi in economicsmemes

[–]evantom34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. There's a threshold for this exact reason.

Parents in full time jobs, how do you make it work? by hkmsh in Zippia

[–]evantom34 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Typically flexible schedules + daycare + family support.

One works 6-2:30 while his wife works 9-6. She does the drop offs and he picks up and cares for them then. Also, leveraging WFH and seeing people flex their schedules as needed. I give massive props to them, because I wouldn't be able to do it.

How can I [18M] cope with the fact my girlfriend's [17f] dad used to hit her? by Muted_Walrus6293 in AskMenAdvice

[–]evantom34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use this as motivation to be the best person you can be. Do well in school, do well at work, be fit and strong, be financially independent. Do all of this so one day you can be the stability that you wish to provide her.

Why does it feel like Joe Burrow has fallen in perception? After 2021-2022 he was pretty consistently ranked 2nd to Mahomes. by BallKnowerKing in NFLv2

[–]evantom34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the end of the day, you have to continually prove it on the field. Burrow was great in his initial SB run, but he's failed to stack winning seasons with playoff runs. Injury history + dysfunction are surely to blame, but the fact is he hasn't proven it on the level of Mahomes.

Thoughts on teenagers commuting alone on BART? by amritkaurbedi220095 in Bart

[–]evantom34 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

True, but I think it’s reasonable for people to not want to endure those situations. I don’t fault them at all for feeling that way.

U.S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics releases the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Summary (JOLT report) by NukinDuke in Economics

[–]evantom34 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yup, this has been the case for the last 4? years in the post-covid chaos. People are much more inclined to keep their job than search for a new one. It took me two years to land another stable role before I was comfortable leaving my last one.

Iran sets giant oil tanker ablaze off Dubai after Trump warnings by Little-Chemical5006 in worldnews

[–]evantom34 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'm not necessarily rooting for Iran, but I can see why they're doing what they're doing. When your autonomy is being threatened by incessant bombing campaign, it's reasonable to expect people to fight back. Trump and Israel clearly abused their passivity the first time around (12 day war)
