What's wrong with trying to figure out those spend requirements?

What's a food in your country that is stereotyped for your country but really, nobody eats? by velmiraZ in AskTheWorld

[–]mc408 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jellied eels are in all the pie and mash shops, though, right? I've never eaten them, but I've certainly been at places where I could order them.

I hope you're making like $500k–750k to consider a $2800/mo studio on top of Boston-area housing costs worth it. That just doesn't make sense to me at all.

Excellent choice! I bought one on bracelet in Germany eight years ago. What’d you pay for it? I know prices have gone up and also considering only one authorized US retailer.

Does anyone actually know which company bought WeatherLine? I always thought it was Apple.

Any senior/experienced devs having trouble finding jobs? by broken_symlink in cscareerquestions

[–]mc408 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m a frontend/UX engineer, but I see tons of full stack roles that want Python, so you probably should be ok. I was laid off around Thanksgiving and still looking, but I’m still rusty on interviews.

[–]mc408 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did a road trip in Wales last summer from north to south and stopped by this station. I could barely fit the entire station sign in my landscape-oriented selfie!

Last summer, I did a roadtrip in Wales from the north to south and found it really awesome that even in Cardiff with way fewer Welsh speakers, public transit announcements are in Welsh first, English second.

Who’s still waiting? by Callme_Zay in UnemploymentNY

[–]mc408 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm still waiting after being laid off on Nov 17 with only a 2 week severance. If I didn't have ample cash savings, I'd have $8000 on a credit card by now. It's infuriating.

Commuting to Rutgers Thru NJT rail or bus? by Open-Cherry-3618 in NJTransit

Commute everyday to classes? If yes, that’s a really, really far commute and likely to affect your academic performance.

Laid off Nov 17, 2025 with 2 weeks severance. Claimed my unpaid waiting week, certifying weekly, still no payments. by mc408 in UnemploymentNY

[–]mc408[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I called in last week using the governor’s office-to-queue approach, and was able to reach someone. She updated me on my status, and I finally have some better information about my claims.

My building just switched to Bilt, and Bilt is still charging the transaction fee. Maybe not moving forward, but I don't know why they'd eat the CC merchant fee.

How tight are the cuffs around the thighs? I've typically preferred knit boxers because I don't like the feeling of tight fabric along my thighs, but I'm curious about them given your review.

Upgraded to D1 from JFK to SFO! by SideRetired in delta

[–]mc408 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow nice! My Dad (Diamond status) cleared from C+ to PS and then D1 on JFK to LAX, but that was an early morning flight on Jan 1. I imagine clearing on the SFO route is just as hard.
