I think it’s a little lame as a networking method, but I got my last two positions through recruiters using LinkedIn, bother came with raises and promotions. I only think it works that way when you keep your profile up to date and open to recruiters. I don’t know if this is true but it does put you in a position where…

I was late to the LinkedIn game and just joined it two years ago and I went in worrying I’d come off this way. When I saw the sheer number of people I knew from school, or worked with before, or currently worked with it made it a lot better. I’d say in comparison to other social media sites though it bothered me more…

I saw other people mention tech jobs in response to you, and honestly until I was laid off from a job in IT I never saw the point of LinkedIn. I had sort of fumbled into the position and then excelled at, and tried to make that clear on my profile. For a personal anecdote the last two times I’ve looked for a job and…

Woah, I never realized what the A in A-Team stood for till this post... That’s dark.

This reminded me of one of my favorite quotes:

“I feel sorry for people that don’t drink, because when they wake up in the morning, that is the best they are going to feel all day.” - Frank Sinatra

I really appreciate the “weaponization of the IRS” that some burner account referenced for you. Like an agency who’s only job is to make sure people pay taxes and in the proper amount going after a group of people who claim taxation is theft or that they’re sovereign citizens who are beyond the requirement of paying…

Is it a 1440p monitor? I’ve got a 34" 1440p 21:9 and see the same thing. Unless you have kaby lake or newer processor the Netflix app on PC limits you to 1080, so that’s probably what you’re seeing. I can’t find a zoom setting, so they probably decided if they let people zoom in it would look blurry and then they…

I have a job that pays decently and sounds impressive to people because it requires a decent amount of techno-babble to explain. Or because a surprising number of people are just really impressed by technology jobs... but honestly at the end of the day I sort of wish I was just a guy who got beer for people... But…

So clearly you still haven’t bothered googling it.

The answers are mice and then dolphins, which many of us already knew. You could have just google searched it and would have gotten the answer as well. It’s a pretty well known fact.

Wait... Your bank account number is written on your check. Every person you give a check to you’re trusting with it. And usually your full name, address, and possibly drivers license info.

I thought it was Gizmodo that had an article discussing how much better passengers would have been as a surprise horror movie than the sappy cliche nonsense it was. I can’t find the article now though. But essentially they posited what would happen if it turned out he had woken up multiple women in the attempt to find…

My wife and I were discussing something along these lines after going to an Oktoberfest celebration that involved lots of competitions. It seemed like it would be easy to come up with fun games that would train your kids to be absolute ringers at drinking/party games when they’re older. Sort of a Karate Kid situation…

Upwards facing triangle above a downward facing triangle.

You’re also 0/10 for reading comprehension, since this is from the article: “They’ve lost the Keurig-destroyers as future customers but already got them to shell out hundreds of dollars for an overpriced, wasteful device”

If only there was some method to use your lights to signal to other drivers that you’re in distress or having a mechanical failure, or are otherwise in a hazardous or creating a hazardous situation. We could call them hazard lights!

This for sure, if you think you like Eliza Coupe then you have to watch Happy Endings. Back when the show was on the air, I was at a bar and there was a TV with a late night talk show on. I had no idea who she was at the time but she was doing an interview. The clip they showed of her in Happy Endings was so…

From the article: “(Start with a blend if you don’t want to “waste” your good stuff.)“

She even used the word waste...

Also from the article: “I am not much of Scotch cocktail drinker, mainly because I don’t want to get yelled a by old men who are offended that I would dilute the spirit in anyway.”

You might not be an…

It was my understanding that the script was written using journal entries and court documents from witch trials. So it’s not necessarily supernatural, it’s written from the perspective of people who would blame things on the supernaturl/devil. Instead of admitting they lost their child, isn’t it better for them to…

I was going to say, the only time I’ve ever heard of trunk or treat is at churches and it was exactly for the reason you listed. All those kids still go out and walk around and traditionally trick or treat.
