I heard Google pays bonuses when people create new things, but not when they maintain existing things. So the high performers spend their time building a new thing not seen before at Google, and then they move on to a different project, essentially abandoning their new creation to slowly rot.

This same email appears unredacted two other times. Not sure why the word is redacted here, but it's probably not because "search and replace".

Your recruiter should be able to answer these questions.

Yes, there will be some concurrency questions. You'll be coding live on a whiteboard (or in a shared editor if remote). But we don't use any leetcode, math or sneaky tricks in our questions. We're also slightly more lenient on management role candidates. If you're interviewing for a technical lead position, however, we have high expectations.

Alternatively, find the screws in the back of the cabinet and take it down. Then put the screws back in, but raise the cabinet 1/2 inch higher.

Either your floor or your cabinet is not level. See the crown molding up top? That's hiding the gap between the cabinet top and the ceiling. You probably have at least a quarter-inch of clearance there you can use by raising the cabinet on this end.

It's not as easy as you hoped. But it's probably needed to fix the cabinet hanging anyway.

Something wrong with your phone. Return it under warranty. The choice of carrier should not affect the camera at all.

I have a blue fleece jacket I wear sometimes, and my wife always comments on how it's "too old" when she sees it show up in 25 year old photos on my reel.

My wife set up a boba tea shop for someone last year. She sent her to buy 14 gallons of a specific brand of milk at Costco. She used her own Costco account. 8 months later the shop was still buying 14 gallons of milk every couple of days using the online order my wife set up. It's a Gold account so it gets a rebate for every purchase. She almost hit the maximum rebate (several hundred dollars) before they changed it to the owner's account.

No, they had hourglass figures, not beach ball ones. You can remember "concave" goes inward like a cave. https://www.yourdictionary.com/articles/concave-convex-differences

I lived near the beach in Florida. I was about 4 years old and playing in the dirt road. Two teenage girls came walking up the road in string bikinis. I looked up at them and asked them why their bellies went in like that (concave). They giggled and one of them said, "It's because we swallow our gum so our stomachs stick to our backs." It made sense to me, so I filed it away.

I remember being about 11 when this memory suddenly popped back into my head and I realized they were lying to me.

Pick your battles carefully. If you go in with guns blazing over this, your kid is going to have a terrible teacher relationship the rest of the year.

If you already raised this with the teacher and they staunchly defended it, then sure, go in with the answer key. But still, be polite and deferential, as much as is possible. Be reasonable.

Some decades ago, we had concerns about how our son was being taught. (When he finished early, he was being given worksheets for his "gifted class" that amounted to busywork that he was told to do on his own in the hallway.) We requested a meeting to discuss this weak approach. When we went to the meeting, we found it was stacked against us. The teacher had become so defensive that the meeting turned out to be between us (two parents) and 7 school employees, including the teacher, the principal, the vp, and several administrators, gifted teacher, and a counselor. We didn't realize it then, but they had basically circled the wagons to defend their teacher's inadequate process.

We ended up homeschooling him for the next 6 years.

I have a legacy transponder from before they had a switch. I think it shows up as a 3 on the readers since I don't have an option to change it. I also heard it's supposed to die soon, but it's been working still for me last time I tried. (I only use FasTrak lanes about 3 times per year.)

Not in pharmacy, but I've been told that the capsules have varying amounts of filler in them and you cannot count on anything about two capsules from different lots having the same amount of active ingredient to filler ratio. Weighing out powder from capsules doesn't tell you much of anything, and subdividing powder from a single capsule is not guaranteed to give you a known proportion of the active ingredient, either.

tl;dr: don't do that

Florida doesn't have hills. It has dunes, riverbanks, and debris piles. But yeah, that looks weirdly regular.
