I always considered "gamey" to be a flavor instead of a texture, but as I think about it I appreciate expecting wild animal meat to be tougher than farmed meat. Thanks for broadening my mind!

I'm sorry to hear you're dealing with this. When I was suffering from low energy levels and brain fog, these are the things that helped me. I don't know anything about your situation other than what you've written abov

I'm very sorry to hear that. A similar situation happened to a close family member. They needed to spend some time focusing on themselves for a while to get past it, and they're in a great place now.

I think the Fed are focused on stabilizing prices, not getting them to go down. Deflation is an entirely different beast than inflation and the Fed certainly does not want to deal with that.

My company's culture is to have cameras on in all meetings other than company-wide events where you're not presenting (if you are presenting, you're expected to have it on). Personally I prefer it as it helps me make more of

He got himself into the situation where he was required to buy Twitter because he signed a binding contract - that's how binding contracts work, and not understanding that the contract was binding is why he now owns Twitter. In the end

I don’t think it needs to selectively amplify just one voice, it just needs to quiet down the background noise. For reference I had a friend whose hearing aids were doing this 15-20 years ago. He was able to have a conversation just fine i

I believe you need Italian ancestry to become an Italian citizen. It's a piece of immigration and not the whole pie, but could've been the intention.

Yes! Lots of good memories grabbing Paseo and then eating it on the Gasworks hill overlooking Lake Union. It gets pretty crowded on nice days, but so do most city parks.

It just takes time to get used to it. For example, I lived in a city with very little A/C for a few years and got used to it. One July I went to North Florida where the temps were 90-100F while being very humid, and although I was wa

The music museum next door to the Space Needle is MoPOP (formerly known as the Experience Music Project): https://www.mopop.org/ That being said, it's definitely much shorter than the Space Needle.

From what I can see, ABNB stock closed at 91.41 on Friday, and the 52 week high was 212.58. That comes out to the stock being down 57% by my calculations, but could be I’m missing something. Still down a lot, but not quite 80%.

A reasonable person reading your comment could infer that the “other 65%” of Americans are all in agreement on something, and the reply simply disagreed. Sometimes when there is a misunderstanding of the writer’s intent, it is an issue with

Technically yes, but oftentimes companies that were taken public via a de-SPAC merger are still referred to as SPACs in the media.

by grumpitron 4y ago
I believe the issue is not with SPACs that haven't merged with another company (as the money would be safe in escrow as you point out), but with SPACs which have already done the merger and taken another company public. They mention H

Interesting- I had interpreted it as "he's free [to make his own decisions ... and mistakes]". Who knows (I don't!) what she actually meant

Could be that not having a set number of days avoids the payout, as I believe is the case in the US. Another charitable interpretation of their comment might be “Unlimited PTO is at odds with Canadian law, so potentially could be illegal.“

Can you help me understand how “catching COVID while not wearing a mask” is meaningfully different from “catching COVID from a family member while not wearing masks” in the context of whether masks are effective in preventing the spread of

Isn’t this a contradiction? “Masks don’t work” and then in the next paragraph “mostly you get COVID when not wearing [a mask]”

Anecdotal counterpoint: Google asked for my college transcripts when I was interviewing with them about 8-10 years after graduating. Of course they’re the only company that has done so, including my first job out of uni.

The SEC doesn’t consider Bitcoin a security, so it can’t be securities fraud. Also there usually must be lies (or intentional omissions) involved to prosecute these things, and I don’t think either of those apply here.
