I’m Asian and live in rural Oregon.

Hahaha.

1. Fuck off

2. A 50mi commute where I am is going to be ~2 hours each way due to traffic. That’s 4hrs each day of lost life which, if I had to do, I’d demand to be compensated for. At even a low 225 days a year that’s 900 hours of time at tech-level per hour pay.

3. There are no collaboration benefits. My Product Manager friend and I disagree on this greatly - but I’m still confident from an engineering standpoint that there is no material value add to in-person meetings that cannot be realized remotely with simple concessions (if anything at all).

4. There are a significant increase in distractions, long lunches, arriving late, leaving early (to name a few) = significant decrease in productivity / output.

5. A lot of tech places where I am that are 40-50 miles away will require me to pay for parking. Screw that.

RTO can die. Commercial landlords can burn for all I care. I do feel bad for neighboring small businesses that are negatively impacted by the loss of foot traffic - but if my area is at all indicative, many of them just left the city and went suburban or rural and are just as successful with lower rents.

Do you add it upon eating or during the boil?

I’ve yet to master proper green onion quantity, any tips?

Also do you use a mix of the harder white part and the green?

Did the sacrifices that were sent actually get killed?

I really like that car crash analogy or whatever you want to call it. It isn’t like sudden positive changes in inflation or job numbers magically fixes QOL for people overnight. It can take weeks…months, maybe even years (maybe even never?)

Ugh. That's bullshit. I still hope Elon / Twitter lose. Fuck that guy.

You're the real MVP. Thank you.

No, no, I get all that. I'm just trying to understand what is meant by 401k being insured against losses…I didn't think that was a thing. I thought any investment whether my personal stocks, 401k, or Roth IRA were all subject to "could disappear overnight kthxbye".

You win my favorite internet comment of the day.

My personal cuticles need more seasoning.

Where is here…asking for a friend

Welp, Louisiana-stupid is now being added to my daily use. Thank you.

You can get around limits with strategies like backdoor Roth IRA, also in some cases if you are the owner of the company you can have the company make distributions / contributions for you that go beyond the normal limits as well.

Ultimately, it is very much geared to benefit those that already have.

Really? Like even during substantial drops in the 2008 crisis? I'm legitimately asking because if this is true then I have some digging to do.

In this case, I feel it's important to push donations to Media Matters.

It isn't fair or right that the rich can just sue what they see as opposition into oblivion. I hope in this case that Media Matters or others sue/counter sue Elon and make his life extra miserable.

I get my chicken (and beef) from small, local neighboring farms, directly. I don't see the problem?

I have a 2TB SSD and a 1TB SSD. My Windows VM is allocated 100GB, so it really isn't bad at all. I use VirtualBox and it starts up basically instantly.

I just realized I have an oldish laptop with Windows on it though so I'm thinking maybe I should just remote into that instead…derp

For Visual Studio Enterprise, Adobe PDF editing, native Office apps, SSMS, and RDP thin clients, I use a Windows VM.
