Yeah this. One of my friends is a PM for mostly government contracts. He also gets serious commissions for any mid project add ons so they're incentivized to low ball and win contracts then get customers to pay more later.

The fact that you didn't see what he was ACTUALLY referring to is actually funny in that it means you don't really understand what having an ADHD brain is actually like. He isn't saying this is literally the situation. He&#x2

So you've listed houses, cars, watches, food. All these things indeed serve a purpose as well as allow for creativity and expression. But the difference is, all those things have sale values that DIFFER based on that creativity and bea

No. Not all insiders would necessarily be professionals as covering their tracks post crypto hack. They could just be someone who knew they had access to the keys and said "screw it my life is already horrible lets try this". Anot

Unintended? My company did two rounds of layoffs already and this was a thing that was known from day 1. Literally the day after the the first rounds one of the questions in the town hall was about "how do we plan to retain the people

I work at a company that did layoffs recently as well, about double this size. Our managers also had no idea until day of. The entire day was spent watching co workers google calendars and slack accounts. Once they got a meeting booked with

Exactly this. I've generally loved the small teams I've been on, and keep in touch with co workers from every company I've worked for and left. But that doesn't mean I held any allegiance to the company that we both work

The band The Glitch Mob maintain an ambient playlist on spotify that I listen to constantly while working. They update it really regularly (4 day since last song added right now). https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1sJKF

Well, you're both right and wrong. He's right You CAN, but your linked article is also 100% correct, GBTC / trusts are absolutely NOT etf's. There are however etfs for crypto in other districts (I hold for example ethx.b

This is only true in certain places. For example, in the thousand islands, the border between US and Canada is VERY nebulous. A line on a map exists, but you can drive your boat around the islands, entering and exiting the US dozens of time

John McWhorter makes this exact claim in his debate on the damage of racism and anti-racism. Its an interesting full debate but here is just his opening remarks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mT2rlJe9cuU

Major US banks will NOT be rendered insolvent. The fed won't allow it. They are literally too big to fail. They'll just be bailed out.

I'm not saying you're wrong, but I'd like some numbers to back up the government comment. I live in Ottawa, my SO works for government as does many many friends. I make more then all of them. If you speak french, then maybe t

You should learn about the salt balance in the body a bit and then try doing things to mess with it. It could be a sodium issue, hence the gatorade helping, or maybe a potassium issue as well. There is such thing as drinking too much water

Some very small layouts can in fact be used, and quite effectively. I have a co worker who types using stenography (and develops with it as well) and the absolute minimum keys he really needs is around ~25. He also absolutely dumpsters me a

Studies [1] have been done, and from what I can see at a cursory look most show a negative correlation, especially for female IQ. I think the disparity between high income to low income counties in the US would show this relatively well. [1
