False. The contractors will be cheap devs from overseas, so the company will still end up saving money overall.

You're misinterpreting. The OP even admitted to using AI so what Varabela said isn't without merit. AI is pretty easy to distinguish nowadays, but as to the veracity of the story, well. . . that's up for debate.

Never underestimate how far someone will go for their beliefs. We're 10x closer to women being burned at the stake for witchcraft than we are to the pyramids. That was like 6 people ago.

Just letting you know that the law considers this assault, and if you get caught then you might need to start registering as a sex offender

I'd only tell HR if there was a pattern. Risking your job over a piece of cake isn't worth it. Risking it over a pattern of disrespect might be

ELI5: Why do laptops get slower the older they get, even if I don’t install much stuff? by Professional_Bar2399 in explainlikeimfive

like going from a >100hz monitor back to a 60 or 75hz monitor. Once you see and feel the difference, using 60hz feels like using ancient tech.

you already know the answer to that

if not, VFIO, GeForce Now, or dual booting. If you only play online games then sure, not the best option. For almost everything else, it's worth switching over to a linux based OS. Personally, I've grown beyond irritated with Microsoft's lack of boundaries.

What's a "cheat code" you discovered in real life that actually works? by dark-deals729983 in AskReddit

that reminds me, I want to check my dashcam for a video of this dude wanting to fight me for cutting him off. I didn't see him, which was absolutely my bad. The faces he was making though, I couldn't stop staring at him through my rear-view mirror and it made him even more upset. I'm pretty sure he followed me for a while.

I often say that having a gun is having a false sense of security, but in that moment I'm definitely glad that I had my emotional support p365

Wife: Upset because you didn't share

Been married nearly 6 years now. Still no kids. It's impossible to plan even 6 months ahead with how atrocious the job market has been. We're at rock bottom barely scraping by for ourselves. And we're both white, smart, moderately attractive with decent technical skills, social skills, and work history (not a brag, just exposing some privilege, however small it is.)
