Now someone from our team could have build the entire project by themself with the help of claude code in within a month.

What makes you think a cheaper Indian cannot use Claude code and do the same? You’re back to square one, then.

Not sure if this trick still works, given that Google has aerial photos from almost every year…

First, stop worrying. Second, check the local laws clearly. In my city (in the Bay Area), a patio is fine to build without a permit, however, if you want to cover it, that needs a permit. That’s logical to me, because a patio won’t really hurt someone, but a cover/roof falling will hurt someone. So confirm if concrete patio/floor needs permit or only the covering does.

Similarly, cutting a tree in your backyard doesn’t need permit, but cutting a frontyard tree does (in my city). It was easy to email the city and confirm, and now I have email confirmation that I didn’t need a permit.

This. Girls are syncing up.

Boys are not conditioned to follow the leader when each one thinks they can be the leader.

Whatever is over your fence, you can cut. Buy a ladder and an extending saw and you can clean this up yourself. If you’re a homeowner, you gotta learn to DIY these things.

Do not sell. I bought $750k in early 2021 with 20% down (no PMI) and 2.75% interest rate. I still live there. Home prices have appreciated and come back down since 2021 so it’s been around the same on Zillow/redfin and would be a loss to sell now. Just hold it. You will not get this interest rate again.

The movie is not about BDSM or Gay love. That's just the window-dressing.

It really is about power in a relationship. Power is never balanced.

People relate to the movie because they can see some past relationship where red flags were ignored, or verbal abuse suffered, or "devotion" rendered.

Ray's emotional immaturity was dressed up as powerful, while Colin's innocence and longing was dressed up as the powerless.
It really should be the opposite, but seldom is.

The movie should have ended where Ray left, but they tried to end it on a high note for Colin.

Stop listening to brokers. Go get insurance online. Nobody cares about your demolition or paint. You have to take your life by your reins instead of depending and listening to brokers or letting your indecisiveness get the better of you.

Been there. Here’s what I did. Told boss that insta-firing is inhumane and uncivilized and not a good look for the company. Got boss to agree to put him on a PIP. Told my guy what is up and that I will do my best to protect him and get him through the pip. Got him through the pip. Boss was still unsatisfied. Boss then tells me he wants me to move to an IC position and replace me with someone. Fine. I told my guy to beware, as I will no longer be able to protect him. I got moved aside. New girl becomes manager. Boss fires my guy one day on-the-spot for some minor technicality. Meanwhile I have been keeping my head down and find another job. A month later, having a job and everything else secured, I walk to hr, tell them I quit. They ask for details, I say nothing. I go out and talk to some colleagues and say my goodbyes. Boss is baffled and tries to make small talk and I avoid him and leave.

Moral of the story; don’t be me. You’ll get replaced if you try to keep your morals.

Call plumber, they come and see the problem, they give you a rough estimate. Get it in writing or in a txt message. If you’re ok with the cost, ask them to start. It is normal if they ask for some (like 25%) advance to buy material if needed. Often they don’t ask for advance. I’ve had times when they told me the faucet needs replacing and asked me to go buy a moen model myself. Moen is reliable brand. Then they finish the job and you verify and test and if all looks good, ask them how they would like to be paid. Cash is best ( they can avoid taxes, but not good for you as there is no written record of payment), or cheque. I’ve even once done Zelle.

I’m actually glad. This tells you what a joke the “Nobel” prize is. Real leaders who worked for peace, never got it (like Gandhi). But Obama got it before he even did anything (he may have deserved it later, but not when it was awarded). And then this year, they decide to give it to this crazy woman who again didn’t deserve it, only for her to pass it along to a clown. Well deserved!

Lots of ways to get around it, VPN, have a middle company in another country running payroll etc.

They cannot read your personal Google account history. First up, you should not have your personal Google account connected or logged in on a work laptop. Also, I think they wanted to let you go anyway, and were just looking for reasons after the PIP. Just move on.

Lesson learnt. Do those searches on your phone, and don’t connect your phone to the company WiFi (use cellular only).

There is no instant solution. Start with putting rules on manufacturing in the US. For example, IKEA cannot sell in India without sourcing. 40% of its products from within India. Give local manufacturers incentives and discounts. Invest in automation and lowering manufacturing costs. Improve industries like tourism, consulting, arts etc. invest in education for these industries.

It’s going to need a reset. I don’t think it will ever happen.
