Well, for how long? Not all the job offers come in at the same time. If your only offer so far is McD's, it might be worth it to do some extra job training for a year to be a more attractive candidate and then see how things go after t

"Male-dominated" is used all the time to refer to workplaces and industries that skew heavily male.

I remember having to work with a Croatian outsourcing company once, it was pretty much the same as the worst-case people talk about for India. You had to nail down the specs exactly, most of what you nailed down wouldn't get implemente

Lots of cities plant decorative fruit trees, and more rural area often has feral fruit. You're allowed to harvest fruit on public property (at least where I live). It's actually better if you do, the sidewalks can get nasty if the

I can tell you're not focused on styling of it (fair enough) but it might be good to slap a basic CSS reset on it or something. In my browser (Chrome) it's very hard to read, mostly because there are paragraph breaks in the bullet

He's only using <br> for paragraph breaks. The thing that makes the article look strange on mobile/wide monitors is probably the part where it's inside a fixed-width table cell.

He doesn't know whether his neighbor needs disability or not, he's just guessing. MS symptoms are really variable. The fact that he has a few good days doesn't mean he can hold down a steady job.

What do you expect people to do when they can't find work and don't have access to any other safety net? Is it really worse for someone to lie in order to keep food on the table and a roof over their head, than for us (as a societ

Agreed, I've had to compile pieces of C++ software that had dependencies on third party libraries for completely ridiculous trivial reasons. Like requiring OpenSSL for a project that's completely unrelated to networking/crypt

That's probably not the tattoo that's meant. When most cats get neutered/first shots, they get a tattoo in the ear with a unique serial number, which includes a vet to contact. That way if the cat gets lost it can be tracked

That's the current policy with the current rates. If they cut the rates too much, they may have to choose between changing the policy or having no Uber drivers.

I don't know, in those stock photos I can picture them without the books and it doesn't seem as bad. They're all pictures of people in public places minding their own business. The pictures in the OP are families and friends,

Me too, but it does seem to be more accepted generally. I know people who would have never dreamed of reading at the table who routinely use their smartphones now.

It would look strange and lonely if they shopped books into these photos where the smartphones used to be. Two of those pictures take place during a barbecue and one is at the dinner table. Before smartphones it was considered rude to do th

For sure it's a tax system problem, but in the usual case (where it was already taxed once in Canada) it makes sense not to double-tax child support. AFAICT most of the money isn't spent here, it's parked here as a hedge in c

I like how he talks about the ex-employees as they are dead. Honouring the memory of the lost by continuing to fight for the cause.

This doesn't really apply to expats, but income tax isn't really about income, it's about funding all the public services you use. There are problems right now in parts of Canada where wealthy people from other countries are

Are you saying that all women want to talk about is bland socially-approved topics, or that everything other than engineering and video games is bland and socially-approved? I like talking about work and videogames sometimes but if that&#x2

I grew up in a trailer park too, and look forward to the day I can afford to go back to a life that simple.

Some people also convert a spare bedroom into an office and when they leave "work", they leave the office and close the door. The "fun" computer lives somewhere else.

Why is this the business's responsibility? Like, I understand why they might want to do this, because it will increase traffic, but we're talking about its usefulness as a service to potential customers. If I started a service l

In many places online, if you don't announce your race/gender/location, many people will just assume you are a white male living in the US, and respond to you accordingly. Sometimes this is just annoying but other times it re

The little trailer park for employees sounds like it would make a great set for a TV sitcom. Instead of meeting up at Central Perk they can sit on their individual tiny house porches and talk to each other.

Are those really the only optional expenses you have? I would find that very surprising.

Where can one get a job as a professional FizzBuzz developer? I think if a program is big enough to devote a software developer to it full-time, it's going to have at least 10 bugs. Maybe they are small or unimportant or so obscure tha

If the employers produce no value, then we should get rid of them. If they are producing value, then the overall value produced should be greater than the sum of the value produced by their employees.
