[edit, I just caught that this is a particularly old post, with no replies, either way, the comments below are useful to future folks seeing it since the company has reformulated the product discussed]

It’s less about franchising and more about a massive shift towards mergers and acquisitions. A company on that list will buy random established venues, give it a minimal signage makeover and a new employee handbook and it’s now part of the brand. It usually takes until the old management rolls out and the location…

I think their shift in focus it simply matching that American culture has become drastically more political. They are just building articles that cater to what folks are expressing passion and interest in. That doesn’t mean it’s not exhausting, but they aren’t operating in a bubble, it’s a reflection of the readership…

I use that too, but be aware that using HTTPS does not hide most of your traffic from analysis. ISPs can still extract every URL you were visiting. It does hide the individual text in that transaction, such as your banking info, but for browser utilization data, they can just download the same URL, see what was on it…

To give a little credence to the fact the early DSMs still bring in the hard currency, I sold my 1990 Talon Tsi with 74K miles a year ago for 7,500 (way over bluebook). Granted, it was almost as clean, but had way more options (standard, leather, moonroof), and had right under 500 hp of mods with dyno results backing…

I wonder how long this approach will / would take to be accepted? I had all four of my wisdom teeth fully in with no issues, but ended up with a moderate cavity on one. After checking with four dentists, none would simply fix a cavity, instead insisting that all four had to come out. Ended up costing $3,400 and since…

I completely agree with the tone deaf messaging. That said, I did see the ending play out and it does address the power vacuum and futility of the shoot things to solve the world approach. Not quite as offensive as The Division thankfully but it had an opportunity to do so much better.

Sounds like a tech company or some company that used the Microsoft or Google interview questions as a pattern. As stated below by someone else, it’s designed to see how you react to strange or odd-ball questions. Oddly enough, for my job it’s actually important as I run into clients who do ask for equally…

Any more in-depth reviews? I’m considering it, but understandably hesitant to only consider the reviews posted on their website.

I find that the urge to interrupt is usually linked to a fear that I might not get to say what I want to or that I’m afraid I’ll forget. Carrying a notebook to jot the idea helps rather than blurting it out. As soon as you write it down, you can often signal to the speaker that you have something to add, such as a…

Couldn’t agree more, I do this all of the time for work.

Compressed paper isn’t a good fire starter, it can however be kindling. While this is just off the head and I’m sure I’m missing good examples, it’s better to break this down something like:

And when I land in the UK, China, Singapore, or US and they demand I decrypt the drive? I’d rather not sit in a cell under contempt of court for a password that I don’t have. Just saying I was carrying it for someone probably won’t get me very far.

Objectively, I get it, you’re trying to be an Uber driver equivalent of air-courier. For rapid transit of court documents, data recovery hard drives or other urgent packages, it makes sense.

Go into your app settings and disable notifications from Audible. Works fine to solve the drop down issue.

I wonder how exactly is this different from just having an Exchange Online (business) account. I’ve had O365 for a long time and have the exact same functionality. https://products.office.com/en-us/exchange/compare-microsoft-exchange-online-plans

I’ll add to the list: camping supplies like stoves (with fuel canister removed) and water filtration/purification systems. I had a rather nasty run in in St. Louis over a water bottle with a built in UV light to purify water, thankfully I was 4 hours early for my flight as they actually took me back to a security room…

We did buy used before my brother could drive. Those type of vans are glorified cargo vans with a side lift, still expensive, but at least not as insane.

Most accessible vehicles have a dropped floor and a raised roof to accommodate the upright position of a wheelchair. The floor pan is usually fully replaced with one that drops much lower and the suspension is usually lifted quite a bit. My brother is in a powered chair but would be around 6'4" so we had to do a lot…
