Skyrim does at least raise a very good question that has stuck with me. Having to kill paarthurnax is always hated on by fans but I like it. What if your neighbor was hitler but he has reformed and was now living life as a good person? Would you turn him in? Why not paarthurnax? He committed unspeakable atrocities against humankind.

Mars with current technology is completely unfeasible. Musk uses it to get public support for more funding for space x. It’s unsurprising he knows Trump would give him more money so he’s backing trump

Slow fermentation in the fridge is your friend. For me it’s 4-6 hours of bulk ferment then overnight in the fridge.

Once you get into a groove, it’s easy to make you sourdough

Back when DRM was fun

A lot of hotels are now offering that. I went on vacation in Sydney recently and hotels have been buying up apartment buildings and turning them into hotels. To stay in a 3 bedroom apartment it was 40% cheaper than Airbnb and had all the amenities of a hotel with staff.

You build a 10 foot high wall, they will build an 11 foot ladder. Stir/shaken was good for like 6 months before spam callers were able to bypass that security measure.

Nintendo has $15B in cash and the company is worth $51B.

And no severance payout

Good. My uncle was addicted to gambling. Would sell family heirlooms, steal from other family members, and lie to cover his tracks. We all cut him out and it’s better not having him in our lives.

If solid state batteries do work out line Toyota says, these old EVs aren’t going to be too attractive

I don’t understand how people don’t have the will to end the Texas two step bankruptcy

I had crickets in laos, they tasted kind of like a bean with some good curry spices added.

I had sushi that was crusted with ants instead of seaweed in Colombia. It tasted a lot like a dark chocolate.

No, unless we separate housing from investment, it will never be affordable. I don’t foresee the political will to make it happen.

You’re not supposed to. It is a marketing ploy from oil and gas companies to shift the blame from corporations to individuals for their pollution.

Wood screws. Makes life so much easier than using cheap screws

Maybe this is his plan all along? It will help cut down the workforce without having to do a layoff and pay severance.

Reddit has become yahoo answers for me. If an answer from Google pops up, read the top comment or two to get an answer and move on.

This is also done by a company, envoy, that helps companies understand their office data. So it’s a bit of a conflict of interest.

The greenhouse recruiting study was more interesting. Attrition goes up and companies had a harder time filling the newly vacated roles compared to companies that didn’t force a back to the office.

Personally I think the back the office mandates are a way to do voluntary layoffs without making the execs look bad

The missing piece is salary is way down. With FAANG no longer paying $400K for engineers and hiring at an insane rate, the rest of the industry isn’t trying to play catch-up and compete on pay.

I used to work FP&A for a 2nd or 3rd tier tech company and it was hard competing to get engineers to join us. A kid out of college from a decent school for a $100k signing bonus from Facebook. I have since switched to a lower tier company but it has great work life balance, but we’ve lowered our salary on all open reqs because we know we don’t need to compete as aggressively and our average time to fill a role hasn’t changed.
