So just use it until the motherboard dies, why switch before it dies?

It does not require more than your standard 8-17. Know tons of doctors that work the same hours as I do and spend their free time the way I do.

UK has about 70% fiber coverage. Sweden has 97% network gigabit-capable coverage and we have way lower population density.

My biggest grief with that site is that it's like something from the 90s.

I work in cybersecurity so that feels quite fulfilling when you constantly secure companies and government against external threats.

Well when you have ideas and thoughts that are not shared by the majority it's no wonder you get downvoted.

Renewing cards, don't they just send you a new one in the mail when the old one expires?

ICE veichles will start even if it is cold, I live in the far north of Sweden and we often have -30C and the cars start with no problems even if you dont have a heater in it.

This EV test however is barely in cold weather, it gets a lot worse when it's cold.

Swedish speed skater Nils Van Der Poel drinks cream and eats crisps, LOTS of it, while training just to get enough calories in his body to continue training so number 1 is faulty.

Same here, I'm probably considered an alcoholic because of the ammount of liquour I drink per week/month but I can work out every single day and stay in great shape but come friday and saturday I do empty quite a few units. Stopping the weekend urge is hard.

New comment by kolla in "How fresh grads with zero experience get hired as senior engineers"

kolla — Fri, 11 Feb 2022 18:50:41 +0000

When I read "senior" I often interpret it as "has a lot of experience" which has nothing to do with skill. Speaking for myself who has a shit ton of experience in a lot of tools, techniques, languages and so on but is SHIT in most of them. I'd be hired before a lot of better candidates based on my years of experience in the area but not because of my skill in the area.

If the Moon was 10x as far away from the Earth as it is now then that would still be closer to Earth than this probe ever was to the Sun.

That page could use the help of a designer / ux person. Things from the 90s look better than that.
