Doing interviews when you know you have nothing on the line is a good way to practice, because you don't need to care if you do badly. Bonus is, you might end up getting an offer for something better :)
not even bro-dozer trucks, I have a un-modified (unless you count dents and rust) ~10y old pickup and a fairly new 'sporty' sedan (i.e. low-profile tires, stiff suspension, somewhat lower to the ground). Sedan has to come almost to a stop or I will scrape something. In the pickup slowing down is optional (though I do because regardless of speed bumps I don't want to hit someone)
Sometimes.... I've had lots of bad experiences with super slow checkout people. I would say most of the time, they were boomers themselves and spent half the time trying to make chit-chat.
That being said, I will still line up for a staffed checkout if I have a cart full because it is easier since I can bag and put in the cart as they're scanning. But also, many of the self checkouts here have a limit of like 10-20 items posted.
Where I live any establishment that serves alcohol to be consumed on premises must also serve some sort of food option to go with it. So by that token, all bars are restaurants here.
I have 3 kids and it's been my experience that the parents who are worried they might mess up tend to be the better parents, because they care enough to worry. It's the ones who think they have it in the bag that tend to fuck up.
This is a bad move. The more Russian citizens have access to outside information, the better chance they can learn what's actually happening in Ukraine and the amount of damage the government is doing to their own country. The more Russians that have exposure to that information, it becomes more likely that the people will show their dissatisfaction. Without VPN, the people only have access to the internal propaganda.
GM also has tons of union employees which has some impact on the non-union portion (i.e. better benefits etc), so seeing first-hand what unions can do for you might make them more likely to support one even if their current working conditions are great.
If your company uses some sort of code checking tool on PRs, there may be a requirement that all functions have a docstring, even if it's obvious what it's doing. Leads to silly comments like this quite often
AI has uses when it's not being rammed down peoples throats or used to plagiarize content (personal assistant/home automation type stuff is the first that comes to mind - I'd like to eventually set up a locally-hosted LLM based alternative to Alexa to control my house so I'm not relying on an internet connection for everything).
Cloud is an essential part of a robust backup strategy, and makes it easier for the average person to create a web presence.
Tesla, being an EV company, is still an important interim solution to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions from ICE vehicles until (hopefully) better public transit infra is built so people don't need to use cars as much. Not to mention it was the kick-starter for other vehicle companies to make EVs.
Ads and paywalls: People gotta eat. You want to consume content that someone produces as their job? Pay them. If you won't someone else will, thus advertisements.
