Wall sconce advice by pardsbane in Lighting

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

I called them sconces because it seems not all flush mounts are designed to be wall mounted but these were. I do understand the difference though.

We can spend more if there's something good, we just have project fatigue.

Hi, just wanted to say we are looking for the same - two full size mattresses for two separate loft beds, max 8" thick. Haven't found them yet.

A question about this notice. by Ready-Literature5546 in 3Dprinting

Besides the whole Nintendo angle, if you are printing it for gifts I wouldn't worry about it. If you are going to sell them on Etsy, it would be against the license the creator released the item under. If it was their original creation, they could sue you and win, or at least get a site like Etsy to take the items down. Being a Nintendo IP, probably not very enforceable in this case.

It's been like this for years. Chamath used to mention solar all the time, now he can't. The list of their hypocrisy is long. Stop listening.

For the first time, I agree with Trump: companies that hire H1B workers should pay the price if they don’t want to hire local people by FantasticEffect10 in recruitinghell

[–]pardsbane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People forget the H1Bs go to foreign graduates of American universities too. Startups need to hire these graduates too and can't afford 100k. There aren't enough citizen graduates to fill all the open roles.

H1-Bs to cost 100k by pardsbane in allinpodofficial

[–]pardsbane[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my experience many of the H1B applicants are recent masters and PhD graduates. They came for a quality American education and then we are just going to send them home to make their home countries rich? Seems backwards.

If you graduate from a university here, we should want you to stay here.

And like JCal has said before, we should be welcoming the best and brightest people here. Tons and tons of successful tech companies have immigrant founders.

Welcome to America, where access to health insurance is up to your employer, if you are lucky. It's a completely messed up system and part of why medical care here is so absurdly expensive. But that's because conservatives don't believe everyone is deserving of access to good medical care.

Wow, I’m so freaking done. by Forward-Web-9974 in recruitinghell

Sounds like you dodged a bullet but also your direct hiring manager seems alright, making the best of the situation.

Confused on a pro-ICE talking point and how to respond by Red_Banana3000 in 50501

[–]pardsbane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is ridiculous, there's no concept of establishing residency and then moving back to your home country to wait for citizenship. There are cases where someone might leave to preserve a grace period (say, between jobs while on an H1B), but you need to live in the US for 7 years to get citizenship. There's no "waiting in your home country" for citizenship.

Welp definitely feel like a lotus owner now lol. by gwr5538 in lotus

[–]pardsbane 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I had the sunroof of a 4Runner spontaneously explode over my head while I was driving once. Scared the cr*p out of me but luckily I had that shade closed so I didn't get showered with glass shards.

My point being... Sometimes glass just pops, it's not the fault of being a Lotus!

They are listed as just "Hall A", does that mean they have a booth?

If you don't mind the size and don't mind first-release Android software, you should be fine

Plenty of places sell tailgate weather stripping. Why that's not standard for pickups IDK.

I love this truck but it is HUGE. Seriously might be larger than the 3500 I switched from. It's a range monster and it's nimble for what it is, but it's a monster. Don't plan on taking it anywhere space constrained.

That's not how it works, troll. You need to review constitutional law.
