Both Bush and Obama used the Department of “Defense” to launch regime change “operations” across the MENA. If anything, Trump is guilty of saying the quiet part out loud, AKA “Truth in Advertising.” If anything, he got this one right. We’re

I’ve had quite a few issues with Firefox crashing or otherwise behaving poorly in recent years. Switched over to Brave and have had perhaps a day or two of failed ad blocking on YT. Otherwise it’s been a rock solid experience and the built

I once heard a lecture from an attorney, one of his tenets was as to completely avoid topics you don’t want opposing council to clue in on and attack. Don’t they to preempt it, just ignore it entirely unless you’re forced to confront it. Th

I’ve purchased entire packs of “boneless skinless thigh” from Tyson which after opening had all the bones and all the skin. I cannot for a minute understand how that passed inspection. In any case organics seem to be both less brined (aka n

It will take decades to undo the damage - the blame is most certainly diffuse here.

I’m no artist so I’m left to ask - how exactly is that metric determined?

Of course this is due to HIPPA - no such law exists to nuke bad cops from orbit for similar misuse.

Have any of yall given up on “nice tires” due to constant nail / screw punctures and subsequent loss within a very low mileage count? I believe I spent $1200 on my last set only to lose two of them in the first six months due to road d

Unless you’ve worked in government, honestly, just stop. I spent years in a metro water system and this class of corruption is rampant. You get 90k maximum salary, but your last 5 years dictate your retirement… so guess what you find yourse

Never thought I’d see Mountain Rest / Walhalla on Hacker News! While the rest of the tunnels aren’t quite as interesting or accessible, Stumphouse is part of a series of tunnels, some collapsed, some underwater, and one caged off for a

Have we? Most all of South Carolina is in a drought. We experienced an exceptionally dry Spring and have had good but not sufficient rains all summer.

I feel like the prevailing story you would hear “back in the day” was always the star quarterback or the kid of a rich donor getting white-glove treatment. Instead my experience matched GP, handful of students complaining that a tree-balanc

In what sense? As a normie-tier user of Brave’s internal and blocker, it’s worked great. I never became a power-user of uBlock.

I would charitably say that it’s a function of a different time and place in programming. The way you write “Clean COBOL,” “Clean Java 6/J2EE,” and “Clean Rust” are all going to be very different. There is still good meat-on-the-bone i

I truly appreciate the thoughtful reply, really - we comply with most of if not all of it. Unfortunately, the last 10-15 years has truly shifted what was once a low or middle tier CoL area into a higher tier. The Carolina Lowcountry went fr

Go pick a metro, find a decent neighborhood, price out a house. Go price out insurance for a family. Go price out a minivan, go price out student loans, groceries, clothes, a cheap vacation for a week a year, car repairs, home repairs… the

Nope! We live very conservatively. Turns out life is expensive.

Try raising a classic family of three with a stay at home spouse in that salary in any metro. You will quickly learn how fast those dollars disappear. Somehow my grandfather did this as a painter. Inflation is a killer.

I previously worked at government job, a regional water company. Was on the fast track to become the AD and then CTO in the 5-10 year range as the entire upper echelon was on the verge of retirement. Except my salary would be capped at $150

Leaving a job is a “life event” so couldn’t you then go out and get a simple marketplace plan? Last I checked it was only a few hundred dollars per month for a single individual?

I’ve definitely had in the UX side a situation where the PM/Owner types asked me to introduce a delay in the “disabled button with loading spinner” such that the user sees it for a visible amount of time because our API was too fast fo

Funny enough I used to work for a water system in the “Information Systems” department - there was far too much of the classic “not my problem” from colleagues. Our original bill pay (ran from 2006 to 2019) stored passwords in plaintext in

Depends on the firm. Quite many water companies handle their own engineering and only outsource when absolutely necessary, think speciality tunnel boring companies.

Define “high” here - I grew up collecting NES gear and games from the flea market as a teen (circa 2005) and it was perhaps $30 for a working NES console, most games were $5. Perhaps $10-20 for a Legend of Zelda or Super Mario Bros. Few tim

Cremations can be wildly variable depending on who you pick. My uncle and father both died within about a year of one another and the prices were all over. We were able to have my uncle cremated for around $800 (Las Vegas, NV) by going dire
