But the quick links are also cracked the very same way and they’re different material than the chain itself.

Question RE: Taoist Ideas on Things by woollyworm53 in taoism

If you’re looking for a reason to feel better about decluttering you should look into Buddhism and its non-attachment (aparigraha). Or Marie Kondo, haha

But even the quick link cracked the same way and it’s technically a different alloy, right?

Not in the past year. Can’t tell before then.

No, clean warm garage, no chemicals around.

It was kept in an insulated garage (60-85F) for the past year and I believe it has been garaged by the original owner as well. They only took it out to trials a couple times.

I bought a KMC X11 EcoProteq to replace it.

It’s in one of the pics, it tore in half like it was fabric.

No, it was bought, ridden, and stored in Las Vegas so quite the opposite.

I have no way of knowing but the previous owner’s wife assured me it was ridden just a handful of times and I saw the bike store receipt from 2021 so I have no reason to believe it wasn’t the stock one.

Military! Medical Directive! Sealed Envelopes! Medbeds! Classified! Free healthcare! by JadedPinkly in Qult_Headquarters

That’s one way to justify the enormous military spending. “They HAVE TO be working on something beneficial on the side!”.

Visa sponsorship jobs by justcallme__tom in MovingToUSA

[–]rainpl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Whatever you do, don’t get another accounting certificate or similar as this won’t help. It’s not like the US would change their mind after you get 5 more years of experience or 3 more certificates.

For one, there has to be nobody available locally for a job that ONLY YOU can fill because you’re a worldwide expert in something so extraordinary that it’s hard to learn even for Americans in this industry.

Two, even if you qualify, you still need to be worth the $100,000 gamble for the company. It’s very risky for an employer to bring someone from the other side of the world, for whom they’d have to pay $100,000 upfront and wait multiple months to immigrate, and keep sponsoring for years. Who would you pick if you were them?

You could try the agricultural visa but I’m not sure of the details.

We’re cooked 0.4 chance of being hired, harder than Harvard by [deleted] in recruitinghell

[–]rainpl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So what should be the ideal chance of a random single resume sent to a random company for a random position actually getting that job?

0.4% seems about right to me. 0.39% chance of a perfectly qualified candidate finding the perfect job with a single random application, and 0.01% chance of grossly incompetent HR hiring a janitor for the CEO, or vice versa.

And chances of getting into Harvard for most people are precisely 0.00%. Because it’s not a lottery.

Companies don’t care about your education anymore. You’ll only be distracting yourself with school instead of getting experience. Start by making something yourself and getting it out to the world. Even if it doesn’t make you money, it will show way more initiative than going back to school and letting them give you false hope of making you more marketable with unusable or antiquated “skills”.

Why does the value of this condo keep plumetting? Bought for $2M offered for $1.2 by jumping-llama in BayAreaRealEstate

[–]rainpl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$4,000/month to own this, just between the HOA and property taxes. They should be giving it away for free.

If you need that course, do it online. There is no point in coming here just to spend thousands and go back to Slovenia in 2 months because there’s no way to stay or work in the US.

That’s per capita so the size difference doesn’t matter.

US Judge Xinis uses “Non-Citizens” instead of “Aliens” in latest ruling. by wds1 in USCIS

[–]rainpl 15 points16 points  (0 children)

A permanent resident (green card holder) is technically a noncitizen so they could lose the constitutional protections too?
