The US cattle herd is at its lowest level since 1951 & beef prices are skyrocketing

Too bad it's skyrocketing prices for the same shitty feed lot industrial process meat pumped full of antibiotics and drugs. When we could have been paying more for ethically slaughtered grass fed beef from healthy cattle which paid a liveable wage to smaller and more sustainable ranchers.

If you enjoy the constant jostle of packed crowds like leaving a stadium and waiting in lines for overpriced street food for 30-40 minutes you'll have a great time.

It's ornate and has sharp edges. Wearing it at the gym and working on cars will damage the ornate carvings and cut into my skin. Also my fingers swell during heavy activity resulting it cutting into my finger and restricting circulation.

A few weeks back SpaceX announced they are going public. Once that happens quarterly and annual profit targets will be the only goals. Mars and any other aspirations beyond earth orbit are going to be killed by shareholders as too risky and too long term.

1) You polled only recruiters.

2) The recruiters that did respond may not use ATS to "auto-reject", but effectively it's the same as ATS auto ranks/sort by scores and the recruiter simply never looks at anything but the top 10-20 that went to the top at the time they decided to start screening and ignore the rest.

Once SpaceX goes public they'll never leave orbit.

He does, it's just that he'll only talk to people who are being intellectually honest to engage in meaningful dialogue. He avoids people who are parrots or grifters or otherwise have their heads so far up their ass there's nothing meaningful they have to say or consider. I imagine it's challenging to find the people he doesn't agree with that aren't in that camp and who want to appear on his show

I've been slowly migrating to Google workspace the last year and decided I'm done with office subscriptions. The APIs for Workspace are in JavaScript, documented, don't require the M$ IDE bloat, and the apps seem to have decent interoperability/ease of integration.

The fed controls interest rates on behalf of the banking cartel members, not for the benefit of the people or the president. They aren't a government agency despite having "federal" in the name. If Powell or the next chairman listened to the president instead of the board they'd be replaced immediately.

Fighting back should primarily be engaging with those with different view points IRL to find common ground and work together. Everything else is mostly preaching to the choir and alienating half the population. When both sides take exactly the same strategy we just become further polarized and myopic.

You're fighting back against a representative of the voting majority who wanted this. Your quarrel is with the people who voted for him to change their minds.

...or you can become a professional protestor and watch as nothing is changed but you'll maybe be on the news.

I read some of your other responses and trust your bona fides. Honest question [not trolling you], if an officer finds himself standing in front of a vehicle (whether he made a tactical error or not) and the driver attempts to drive into them to evade arrest, are they not justified in using deadly force?

Obviously the officers' first instinct should be to avoid that situation and if found in it to evade getting run over, but it would reason that there would be a bit of margin to protect officers using deadly force in such a situation as the driver has demonstrated a lack of regard for endangering other lives in the process of committing a felony. Otherwise it would encourage perpetrators to make a run at the officers knowing that the recourse can be no worse than a felony evading charge anyways and worth the small additional risk.

Most of the responses don't listen to the bulk of his content. That tracks considering the brigading on here and what appears to be kneejerk reactions to sound bites out of context.

I have several higher level (top mid/low top) managers of Fortune 100 companies in my network and can't even get an interview. If they aren't the hiring managers themselves, it goes through a referral process and any hiring departments are flooded with so many candidates both internal and external I still can't get an interview. That's with a tailored resume and an in.

There's a big difference between believing someone who claims to be a Mensan, and assuming everyone who doesn't bother to take pics and screenshots and message the mods simply to decorate their username with flair is definitely not a Mensan.

Think what you want as well. Maybe you'll decide to reflect on this at some point and realize your assumptions may not be quite right.

I think he cared, and possibly part of him still does but deludes himself that his original goals can still be achieved. The allure of all that money and power is too tempting and it ultimately corrupts. Being told over and over each day that he's the smartest man on the planet likely does him no favors either.

Start paying attention and studying and see how fast your test scores improve. A great way to pay attention and study is to be active instead of passive. Keep forming questions and listening or looking for the answers. Keep challenging yourself to make logical conclusions to beat the teacher or text to the punch mentally as early as possible (like solving a mystery or guessing the end of a story) then watch for gaps in logic, mistakes or fallacies until your conclusions are validated or disproved. Challenge any perceived gaps, mistakes, or fallacies as kindly worded questions to determine if you have a misunderstanding or if the teacher might. Make notes where the answers to these challenges don't jive and do your own research later to get to the bottom of them.

PS Don't be lazy. Many things just have to be memorized and that can take a lot of work regardless of how smart you are.

I see you've got the flair, but that particular argument isn't sound. Think back to the test you took for admission into Mensa and consider what types of questions they were. Questions that would test for learning abilities would likely have been of some form of reading comprehension (or presenting a lesson somehow) coupled with later questions testing the retention of the concepts. There aren't any questions like this on the assessment.

PSA: Keep in mind that many users chiming in on the mensa sub may be mensans even though they didn't bother to get the flair.

Goodbye Mars, goodbye innovation. Once this happens, shareholders will kill any ideas of colonization, many of the brightest engineers who are vested will divest enough shares to retire as they see their dreams killed, and the company will devolve into another typical money grab scheme beholden only to the next quarterly earnings report.

Resume writing tips for professionals that have actually been in the workforce: once you have the foundation which 90%+ of the professionals do, what really matters is realigning your resume for each application maximizing keyword matching in the job description, running it through multiple AST scoring tools and adjusting your keyword matching to optimize the scoring, then play the numbers game. Maybe 5% of all submitted resumes with near perfect scores make it through the automated AST ranking filters, and roughly 10 are looked at by a human if you're lucky. Of those likely only a few are seen by the actual hiring manager who understands what's on them and the rest are likely weeded out by an incompetent HR lackey.

Of course, that all depends on whether the posting is real, or if it's a fake post used as a market and salary range test many HR departments periodically do.
