I’m in the tech field. When I interview for some jobs, there are “tests” of my coding ability. This is a key component of the knowledge required to do the job.

But that wasn’t the original argument. The argument was when the bottom drops out of the low interest loans. The argument of losing your income holds no matter what happens to the interest rates and wasn’t at all what either of us were talking about.

Yeah.....I’d be curious. Is it better for the battery to “slow charge” overnight or fast charge and then sit on the wireless charger while still 100% for a couple of hours.  I would bet that the version that times charge completion with taking it off the charger would be better for battery life.

My biggest complaint is that the cases I want (has the built in kickstand / ring holder) almost always block either the NFC or the wireless charging. There has to be a good way to solve this problem.

Only if you’re on a variable rate. If you’re locked in at the low rates, you’ll just be “stuck” in your current vehicle for the remainder of the loan. I’ve got a 0% loan. It was stupid to NOT take. If interest rates go to infinity, I’m still paying 0% on that car. I just wouldn’t be able to get a new one in 3 to 5…

I can tell a lot of the people surveyed don’t have an HEB nearby. Many of these things have some top notch store brands at HEB.

I got one in Sept of 2020 and another in April of 2021. So “cutting it close”.

My granddaughter is two. But I try to get her to say: “I am smart. I am beautiful. I’m a strong, confident woman” every chance I get. I’m trying to get her to self-actualize instead of having it come from me. I’m hoping that carries her far in life. All of the other women in my life are wracked by self-doubt (they’re…

The biggest problem is that once you’re “in the system” raises are (barely) COL adjustments. 3% here, 3% there. With the occasional 5% bump market adjustment. The only way to break out of the COL mode is to leave for a new job......and negotiate well on the way in. That should get you a 10-15% increase. If you aren’t…

If it’s made from scratch in the wrong colors, wouldn’t it not be an American flag and thus not covered by any concept of disrespecting the flag?

I think it’s alluding to how pristine and uncompromised it is (or at least is assumed to be.....I’m not up on the details).  Spherical cows are kind of like Duck Debugging.  It’s a simplification of a complex process.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_cow 

I’ll start an plausible but unsubstantiated rumor if you’d like:

It looks like the speed bump is RIGHT outside his garage (my assumption from the picture and what some of the text said), so I can’t imagine him making that turn at any significant speed. Since he was turning in and out, he probably was hitting parts of the car that were not normally hit when one goes over a speed…

Wait.....which P? There are Innie-Ps and Outie-Ps?

I’m so ready for someone’s sexual preferences to no longer be news. Not because I’m anti-anything......I just want it to be so normalized that articles like this would be the equivalent of “the sun was shining today”.

I drove from Austin to Dallas to get a car and a deal I wanted. I actually had a dealer who was willing to match a price I had negotiated with a dealer further away. Of course, when I got on site, they were trying to change the deal so I just told them I’d drive the 50 more miles and talk to “Bob” who gave me the deal…

There are also places where it is no longer worth it (for the lawyers) for you to sue. My wife had a very valid medical malpractice suit. However, here in Texas, they’ve capped payouts at $250k. We couldn’t find a lawyer that would even talk to us about our case. [And that wasn’t even talking to them about whether it…

Except, I experience “that weird snagging sensation” when I touch them.....and I hate it.

how to keep microfiber towels clean......don’t ever buy them or use them. I fall in the DESPISE camp. For towels, just give me traditional terry cloth or old (the more worn, the better) t-shirts.
