Would it make sense for a person in a "privileged class" to move from a red state?

  • Always Be Looking.

    Honestly, early on, I wasn't reliably finding them. But that lasted maybe 6 months?

    If I have a 6mo contract for example, I'm still applying for a couple jobs every week. I'm keeping in touch with recruiters that don't suck at their job and building rapport with them. I'm pinging prior coworkers and just seeing who/what they know is available.

    Obviously, soft skills and resume matter too. I have enough buzzy technologies under my belt that it increases the breadth of jobs I can apply for, which helps.

    Yeah, it was rough at first, but not like...I was destitute by any means. And now with enough of a network built up I'm relatively confident that even if shit hit the fan, I could find a job inside of 2 weeks.

    If you're in the US (or I guess anywhere?) - just make sure to account for taxes...

    • It's not just you: Christmas lights look different now, and can give you headaches — NPR

  • About 75% of LED monitors give me a headache because I can see or "feel" then flickering. It sucks.

    I had a coworker back in the in-office days who had these garbage-ass monitors and whenever I had to pair with him I'd end up with a debilitating headache.

    • $750 a month, no questions asked, improved the lives of homeless people

  • I pay enough taxes to support 125 $750 users like this and would gladly pay it, too. 125 people that are better off would have a significant positive impact to a community, and I'm all for it.

    Also money that they spend, somewhere at some point would likely be taxed.

    Your logic is flawed.

    • Meta censors pro-Palestinian views on a global scale, claims Human Rights Watch.

  • Makes sense. I removed on FB from time to time and most of my posts get 20-30 engagements from close friends.

    Anything pro-Palestine gets maybe 1, at best.

    • What’s the best printer in terms of no DRM/Open source

  • My Brother B&W laser printer is a beast. I've had it probably eight years now and am only, two months ago, on my 3rd toner cartridge despite my relatively low use. That counts the starter cartridge which I am told isn't full.

    My Brother color printer on the other hand is a pain. The yellow toner always runs out first and it won't print without it. Well, it can, if you finagle things, but then it only does for like 3-4 weeks. Annoying as shit.

    But, overall, better than any HP or Canon I've ever used.

  • I'm down if you're near Portland, OR.

    Went in with zero expectations and legitimately and thoroughly enjoyed it.

    • Polestar (PSNY) hits production milestone with 150,000th EV

  • Liquid to drop on that or willing to drop that much? No.

    But I'm willing to finance it granted the monthly cost isn't outrageous.

    • What are your favourite add-ons/extensions on Firefox?

  • Is there anything that disables / stops sticky videos when scrolling on mobile?

    I get pissed off when I'm reading a news article, scroll down, and their headline video (often just an ad) clips itself to the top 1/3 of the screen.

    • The false promises of Tesla’s Full Self-Driving

  • Correct. It's documented.

    • How many hours a day do you actually work?

  • About 2hrs per job.

    • How I think about bills. Am I alone?

  • I'm...sort of inverse? I daily-ize them.

    That way on a day to day basis I know if I'm trending up...or down...or what have you. If my "daily" cost to exist passes some threshold, it's cause for alarm.

    • Polestar (PSNY) hits production milestone with 150,000th EV

  • $49,900?

    • Why don't we strap a GoPro to the moon lander?

  • Is that the same as skin cancer?

    • What show took you the longest to get into?

  • Probably going to be Lost. I'm 3 episodes in as of 2008 and haven't gone back yet...if I ever do, it will be the longest to get into for me by far.

    In seriousness though...As others have said, The Office and Parks & Rec took me about a season to get into.

    Arrested Development, I admit, took me a few episodes.

    Always Sunny took me about a season...I think just to get into a groove of the style or something, I dunno.

    • Numerous Tesla owners say they've been trapped inside their EVs after they lost power. Here's how to manually open a Tesla door if you get stuck inside.

  • Huh, this must be new? My Model 3 and S both have rear hardware manual open methods.

    The Model 3 one is so easy to access that most of my passengers used it instead of the button.

  • Should watch us here in the US. We always vote against our interests and it always turns to shite.

    Not voting or voting without knowing what's being voted for are yet another thing we're #1 at.

    • Two double-yolks in a row

    • Two double-yolks in a row

  • Are there nutritional differences in said dual yolk eggs or is one truly getting double yolk nutrition?

    • What Do You Do With Large Amounts Of Money?

  • Help friends & family. Donate to community assistance programs. Donate to other causes. Buy people nice gifts.

    • BEWARE ! People who create fake email account to login to social media.

  • There are still...I dunno...probably DNS hops, IP, time's of day, browser window size, browser user agent...

    And if you access any page with any similar parameters on your phone or another household device on any site with FB tracking, it's over.

    It looks like in the last 7 days my phone has cutoff over 150,000 different tracking attempts and that's just catchable ones and on my phone.
