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…

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.

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.

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.

Correct. It’s documented.

About 2hrs per job.

Legeres-era not too shabby.

Now…makes me want to run. But oddly enough T-Mobile has the best coverage in my area :/

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.

Is that the same as skin cancer?

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.

I charge at home for $0.058/kWh. The company that provides it is also local and it does create local jobs.

I resemble this…sort of. Except my car is already paid for and I really don’t think it’s a wise decision to just blow money on another car simply to get out of a current vehicle that more than meets my needs.

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.

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

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.

In BG3 you can put a potion on the ground between multiple people and hit it, and everyone splashed is healed. So, yes, the whole magic aspect of your explanation and not needing to actually swallow it seems to make sense (in BG3).

Same! I currently use Sync (was not a Sync fan historically), but I’ve tried Liftoff, Connect, Jerboa… others.

Ultimately, I miss Relay, but is what it is. I don’t miss reddit.

Satisfied enough, I guess. I make a little over half a million a year. Thing is, I burn about $30k/mo right now trying to keep my small businesses afloat (debts from mid-covid, payroll, medical benefits for employees). A little less than $10k/mo goes to my own bills, savings, retirement, health, etc. Rest usually goes back to the community or local charitable causes.

I take zero money out of my businesses and haven’t for 3 years or so now.

What would be great is if I could get back to where the businesses are self-sustaining, but the last few COVID years changed so much that I’m beginning to doubt it’s possible and at the moment I don’t have the heart to just shut them down or leave the employees without a job.

But, I can’t work 80 hours+ a week forever. I have a family too. I think it will help once the debts are paid off, but just trend/trajectory-wise it will still take some additional foot traffic and sales growth that I’m just not sure will happen anymore.

Maybe it’s regional, but Instacart use in my area straight up says which stores are priced the same or which are priced at a premium when you click on it. It isn’t hidden at all.
