Wearing a mask and not meeting in large groups is not stopping socialization. Acknowledging that certain behaviours spread an already virulent disease isn't callous, it's realistic and it's why the pandemic is depressing. Ign

Don't congregate indoors in large groups. That's it. Amateur hockey teams are still playing hockey in Canada. Most sports are fine, just without spectators. Prom wearing a mask isn't exactly a burden. Again, kids are depresse

Apparently if you go on maternity leave or extended sick/disability leave the relationship can also go bad. I think there are a significant number of cases where the relationship goes bad because of reasons other than just straight poo

So the bulk numbers say it's up apparently, I'm getting roofing quotes currently and roofers say it's back down to pre-pandemic levels, at least where I am. There are a lot of different wood products out there I guess.

Certain schools will get your resume past the "HR drones" when other schools will not, even within the same field of study. We can debate whether top schools actually teach any better or whether they're just skimming off top

This. Being a sales engineer can be just as technically demanding as any job shuffling protobufs in a big tech company. But there's a lot more 1:1 interaction talking to people and gathering information about the problem they're t
