My friend is a bank manager. He says everyday 2-3 elderly people come in confused about a scam.

This is a silent crisis impacting almost eveyone. My grandma personally had her gold stolen by a scammer.

She is now in a home for dimensia.

I hit my senator very hard with information when this happened. It was clear to anyone with a brain and understanding of physics that they had no plans of doing anything other than installing crawlers and access control permissions.

Our leadership is so inept it hurts.

During early AWS days, customers who didnt want to sign up with a CC (usually because a corp policy) would quit registration at the CC confirm, and then contact AWS CS directly for bypass effectively not completing registration and still having an account.

Just knowledge, do what you will.

Who needs science when all your questions are answered by “gods will/gods plan”.

It’s pathetic, and 100% why we see the ongoing attack on science and education.

The last part is so true.

I’m a big guy, 6’3’’ 260, multiple Ironman, sport, climbing, lifting and hunting brush with a bit of combat training over the years. Most people in my life I imagine I could kill with my bare hands. But I don’t, because like you said that isn’t how life works.

Yet people apply it to anything they want recklessly. Cars, phones, or like above peoples projects. I wonder how they would feel if I beat the shit out of them and laughed, telling them their mom should have fucked someone bigger.

Anyway, I agree it sucks.

They are not wrong. This person is complaining because they WANT traffic, and cant get it, yet refuse to modify their output.

You can either have a business or a hobby, you can't have both.

I spoke with my ENT about this. I was treating anxiety triggered shortness of breath, and found that nose breathing was able to calm me if I box breathe.

She laughed, and said of course taping your mouth is stupid. Which I assumed, but had a friend of mine suggest it because it "changed his life". It's manosphere stuff.

I think the key here is the extra income. He doesn’t need to grind as a sparky he can be very selective.

I have seen it in other trades. My family is GC, we have retired biz folks doing cranes, excavators, and some light hand trades.

I personally am considering starting an arborist.

I work at a hyperscaler, for autos, in Detroit.

It’s the worst it’s been since 2020 imo. Stella is cost cutting and just lost their ceo, ford is attached to google, GM literally just left the rencen.

The t1s are being canabalized.

This article is a joke.

Usually its an over leverage issue. He extends credit to the very limit and then something goes wonky, maybe a few things at once and the core business takes a hit.

Also, the more reach the less control (by design/definition) and QC is always a risk in that scenario.

I'm sure there are a lot of folks here who are either living, or have been to Seattle/Cap Hill.

Politics aside for a moment, this is the pinnacle of Cap Hill IMO. Good on them, as long as they stay safe and try not to get too culty.
