What, no Dave Ramsey? ;)

Just kidding, he’s an ass.

One course I’ve gotten a lot out of in the past is the YNAB course for budgeting. I don’t use YNAB hardly at all right now, but a lot of the principles have stayed with me.

And I appreciate that there is quite a bit more in your list than just budgeting which is where…

What about vaccinated people with high risk people at home who can’t get the vaccine?

My resume has been two pages ever since I’ve been out of college. I get it though. The way that I handle it is that I write the first page like they aren’t going to even look at the 2nd page. I’m as concise as possible, just hitting the points in the job description to explain why I’m a good fit. And then the second…

I find the variety ways of people sleeping with or without their partners super interesting in these comments.

My wife and I can only sleep in a King bed.  We keep talking about getting a high end sleep number bed as she likes the bed WAY softer than I do.  But we have our own blankets and essentially stay way over on…

My daughter LOVES Princess Peach.  If they did a Princess Peach version of them I would buy every single god damned over priced set!

How are other states able to prevent this from happening in their state? Maybe if they stopped all medication by mail, but I have a suspicion that it is specifically this medication.

And how the hell is Idaho on that list!?

I have a special needs daughter and it is people’s aggressive denial of the danger she was put in by their behaviors is what was really eye opening to me. Specifically churches and so called “christians” that I don’t think I could ever go back to trusting in any way shape of form.

Which is not to say that these wildly…

I had one place I interviewed at where I sent a thank you note afterwards. But I never heard back from the place and I had gotten an offer some place else that I was happy with so I never followed up. I had a friend working at the first place that I never heard back from and it turns out the manager there didn’t just…

I don’t mind HR interviews first. THE WORST is HR interviews in the middle or last. I’ll totally hit it off with the team or hiring managers and then HR, who has a totally different story as to what is going on (either HR or the team is confused, ending with me not having a clue), and then they put the kabash on the…

Vaccinated people with high risk unvaccinated family members living in the same household.

Let me give you a hypothetical scenario: my elderly mother is living with us, is at high risk, and cannot get the vaccine yet (it needs more testing for people with her condition). My wife an I are vaccinated. What can my wife…

haha, re-reading what I just posted, I TOTALLY sound bitter.  That red mark on the background check really pissed me off after both the hiring company and the previous company swore up and down that job titles didn’t matter.

I call BS. This is something that managers and executives say. I’m coming from the perspective of working in tech. If you were to come into a job posting with a resume that showed “junior whatever” on every job in your experience, it doesn’t matter what you did at those jobs, they aren’t going to let you into a senior…

The gotcha is that “who have unvaccinated people at increased risk for severe disease in their own household”. Is that a vaccinated person visiting with a vaccinated person who have unvaccinated people at increased risk in their household or a vaccinated person visiting with an unvaccinated person who have…

My question that nobody can seem to answer: If person A is vaccinated but lives with person B who is unvaccinated and is at high risk, can person A safely hang out with other vaccinated individuals away from person B?

The CDC recommendations talk about vaccinated people living with unvaccinated high risk people and…

I would argue that Syndicate was the last really good AC “game”. The last few games are beautiful, the stories are pretty good and I wouldn’t begrudge anyone for thinking they are better, and the characters are fantastic (although the brother sister relationship in Syndicate is fantastic).

My 9 year old daughter is not immunocompromised, but she is autistic and has CP. She has spent her entire life with a feeding tube to help her get the nutrients she needs to live. Things like the flu and the common cold always hit her really hard. So I’ve personally found COVID and people’s shitty attitudes here in…

I always ask a version of that last question, something like “is there any concerns that I can address?”

But I have read from recruiters that they don’t like that question too.  So I really like that alternative phrasing that you provided.

I switched to Firefox from Chrome because there were extensions that provided this functionality (Tree Style Tab is the one I use).  So I am super interested to see other browsers handle this natively.

wait, Twitch streamers are streaming 6-8+ hours a day?  Jesus.  What are we doing to people....

Granted, I was not on Twitter 15-20 years ago (or whatever it was) so I’m not sure what privacy settings were available back then, but I was on Facebook (and other social media platforms). Even then there were discussions about locking down your profiles so that everything you wrote and every picture you posted wasn’t…
