I don't think the question was "what is Macedonia" but more like "please explain why this matters to you".
2.
by newfoundglory 8y ago
No, I don't see how you think it's opposite. Macedonia is a name for a large area. FYROM/Northern Macedonia is being used to name a country that takes up only part of this area. Similarly, the Americas are two continents, and

Greece probably shouldn't have elected an anti-nationalist governing party then.

Yea, it's as silly as a country claiming to be the "United States of America" when lol, Canada and Mexico and all of South America would like a word...

Wow, 10% of unsolicited requests are worth looking at? That seems remarkably high.

I flew from Geneva to London City Airport the other day. Check in closed 45 minutes before the flight, and it's so convoluted to get through the airport that after checking in right at the deadline, I had a brisk walk through the air

Unfortunately I've seen people much more eager to adopt a bad idea that is easier in the short term than a good idea that involves hard or boring work - like "should we refactoring and build on our existing code or throw it out an

Most women I know wouldn't go there - including myself. Maybe we run in different circles.

I think it's a pretty normal shorthand, especially when readers can see for themselves that you aren't quoting them.

You may be trying to make a point, but you're not succeeding. A sarcastic guess: robbing banks makes money, and having a job makes money so having a job is logically equivalent to robbing banks and therefore being employed is bad.

FUCK yes. Kids cost money. Jobs are how you get money. And I say this as someone who hired a woman who then told us she would give birth in two months, and we were fine.

People already discriminate against young women based just on the risk they could get pregnant, doesn't seem like it'd be that bad to spread it across to young men as well.

Having a family without marrying is not illegal, though.

What do you want people to do when they are job searching while pregnant? Are you just wishing you'd been told on her first day on the job?

I definitely could have afforded to quit, but I kept on believing that I could fix it and I just had to explain things to the right people...eventually my manager delivered me a glowing written performance review while telling me in person

Quit earlier. I stuck around in a screwed up project until I couldn't stand talking to anyone else involved, I would have been way better off if I'd committed to leaving about four months earlier than I did - when I could see that

No, I'm referring to the US market. They have never been profitable overall but for a very brief period in 2016 they claimed that the US operation was profitable.

Failure doesn't mean "bad eye problems", it means any result other than 20/20 vision. So you could have better sight than before, but still be a failed case.

Yea, I got a ton of warnings and had to straight up sign a paper saying I knew it could cause permanent damage. This makes me wonder if he just didn't pay any attention, or if he went to really dodgy surgeons.

I got LASIK in February for my -6.75 vision, and my night vision now seems the same as before the surgery. I've had no complications at all.

Who said "sudden"?

by newfoundglory 8y ago
Wow. They were apparently profitable for two minutes in 2016, might be what you're referring to? I haven't provided any evidence because I assumed you had access to the same real world information as I do, but if you don't ha

wow, you're really attached to this narrative you have, to be so desperately reaching for a reason to discredit the impact of VC money on their operation. I think my previous comments have already said everything relevant about the bre

by newfoundglory 8y ago
Of course it's true. You say yourself, everyone knows what it means. It's totally unrelated to say that not everyone likes the usage.

Uber has a low cost because they are not charging you enough to cover their own costs, they are making up the difference with VC money. Any factors that make the cost of providing an Uber lower than the cost of providing a taxi are unimport

by newfoundglory 8y ago
Uber loses money, so at most you could argue that it is law breaking AND VC money. And without a lot of numbers on the cost of medallions, etc in each city it operates, you're actually just asserting your belief, not making an argument

Airbnb is definitely among the "cheap hostel" options available today. Get a 2 bedroom apartment, put a couple bunk beds in each room, voila.

Is this a serious question? It allows an area to be in control of how many short term rentals are being made, and where they are, and how often they are available.

I was thinking of taurine, but apparently it's not actually a stimulant and the research is mixed as to whether the other ingredients in red bull have any additional effect to the caffeine.
