okay, apparently the homemade stuff isn’t fortified with calcium & iron (which plain homemade oat milk wouldn’t have) - so you’d have to make that up with other parts of your diet - so Chia, cheese, yogurt (yes, I sense the irony), kale/collards (spinach has stuff that make the calcium harder to absorb), rhubarb, tofu - as far as iron… beans, spinach (for the iron), pumpkin, quinoa
because the location where the job is, is expensive. and you can’t commute in that far into the job, without raising the rents in the suburbs and gentrifying them, too. where high paying jobs are, the market realizes they can raise the cost of living.
Dirt cheap.
Cost = maintenance + servers
Engineers always underestimate the cost of their time.
States can get their hands on things for criminal investigations. Or they can get that data in the infectious disease database but usually that’s carefully anonymized into general steps of ten… But this… This is some messed up shit
Gotta get those high quality gains to lift more than the McVeigh’s
Okay, damn I don’t have 15 minute access to a “bar”-bar, and the university/sports arenas are just outside that walk
I’m pissed that large corps are working hard on propaganda to say that LLMs and theft of copyright is good if they do it
getting accidentally hired and finally making enough.
story: every job I’ve ever applied for in tech didn’t work out. I was a dishwasher until right before covid when someone recommended me for a cybersecurity position. Before that I had obsessed about FIRE or living in a car or being careful about too much starbucks or avocado toast… without making enough for a car or health insurance. That job paid ~half of what cybersecurity should pay, but was AMAZING. My next job paid just a hair under average, three years later. night and day, able to afford to exist without help.
financial advice be damned. I couldn’t “find” anywhere with lower rent. I was in the lowest cost of living possible regionally. What needed to change was the PRIMARY job’s income rate, not adding some side hustle. Either make rent cheaper or find a higher wage.
I’m not making enough to consider your next fancy moves like getting a house.
The current strategy of venture capital is not success, but sabotage
It’s not good enough for you to be doing well, you have to strangle the competition and introduce yourself as an unremovable bottleneck
For example, becoming the intermediary between concerts and concert goers. The fees charged and the trouble caused is worse than if they hadn’t been there.
Amazon makes examples out of any business that dare challenge it’s dead zone around it.
VC money is meant to crush the competition and lock in the consumer to charge rent.
Why would they ever want worker control, or unions?
Why would the private healthcare industry ever stop lobbying against socialized healthcare? Why would a capitalist success ever lead to the political change necessary for it when the doctrine of capitalism is privatization
Why would any commercial real estate firm allow affordable housing to exist when they can scalp it on investment properties and leave them empty? Why build affordable housing when the margins are small?
Capitalism isn’t a savior, it’s just locally optimal to the people with capital.
I’m inclined to believe the local PD knows the addresses of officials… So they let this happen on purpose.
Most things I’ve done were from changing the environment around me. Most things became trivially easier when I made more… So no fault there
I’d consider HARD goals, not just SMART ones
Is it something you can sustainably do, with your support system and environment and schedule, that breaths life into you even though it’s a challenge?
Are you working in that 80% max effort space (or whatever it is for gym nerds, you get the point)
My naive butt: “I thought Google and Apple reviewed app applications for malicious code” Older me: “bahahahahaha” cries in cyber security
“LGB without the T” is transphobic. Most pride folks will know you mean well if you say LGBT. They’ll know you’re an ass if you say LGB Alliance. The other parts are, for example, if gays have marriage rights but transgender folks can’t get healthcare. Intersectionality is about how marginalized folks should band together in recognizing that different kinds of marginalized folks (color of your skin, your age, disability) are marginalized in similar ways. Privileged folks haven’t experienced the friction and frustration other folks have.
but yeah, as long as you say LGBT instead of LGB…
we talking about the “fourth power law” (damage to roadway is weight to the power of 4)?
