I really feel this lately. The news is shit. My anxiety has been high so I go straight to the NYT games app instead of scrolling through the front page.

I started taking a medication recently that has "enlarged spleen" as a side effect. Okay doc, I'll keep an eye on my spleen.

Because this stupid shit is spreading like wildfire. My mom won't stop sending me videos like this.

In theory yes, you could air root and transfer a plant but it's harder in practice and the grapes may not be the same if the soil type and water type are drastically different in the new location.

It's been Core Keeper for me.

I dropped out 20 years ago and I've done alright but have grown into a management role and now it is very hard to move into other management roles without a degree. I am considering going back to school to finish it.

It was legal software called Needles. The firm didn't use email to communicate. They sent Needles messages. I quit after a week.

A degree can be earned slowly with a lot of outside assistance. A lot of jobs can't be handled like that.

We use an assessment that provides feedback on 12 metrics and the most important to me are logical problem solving, vocabulary and aggressiveness. I can have several applicants from the same school score wildly differently in those metrics, even if they all have the same degree.

What else should employers do if they have 100 applicants for a role? Interview every single person? We need to weed people out somehow. If you don't provide a cover letter, you're eliminated. If you don't take the assessment, you're eliminated. You're saving us time.

I've noticed a lot of people lately thinking that college is the hard part and if they get the right degree they will coast into a cushy, easy job. Truth is, being an employee is work and at best executives and owners get to coast on cushy jobs, so unless you manage to get a degree that instantly qualifies you for a CEO role, you're going to have to work your ass off to climb a ladder or build a business for yourself.

Seriously though, I'm an office administrator and your degree in administration is going to make you the meat in a shit sandwich. Everything that you hate about recruiting...don't be surprised if you end up being responsible for it. You'll have to conduct those 100 interviews, then hire and manage staff that have your same burnt out attitude. Your subordinates will bring you endless problems. But that's only half of it. You'll be also report up to executives who will push you to be callous and heartless, while somehow magically also increasing production and morale. Did your degree give you all the tools and skills you need to do that? Bro good luck.

Older models, yes but not the newer ones.

I assumed it was a scar from a failed forward helix piercing.

The Four Agreements. It's short. Go read it.

It's just marketing. Elon wants dumb tesla bros to think their truck is built to that accuracy. No need for it to be reality.

My boss doesn't work on Fridays and I'm starting to push for this flex setup. I'll check my emails and do the hour or two of work that might come in those days, but I want to do it from home while getting my household chores done before the weekend.

It's the actual term.

San Diego has been the same. Unseasonably cool lately. I'm certainly appreciating it while it lasts.

We went to the big island during an eruption in 2018. I didn't want to go but my family wouldn't cancel. The air was full of vog. It was gross and everyone in our group was cranky. I'm sure your neighbor will not get the trip they planned for.

"Hey man, lock your door"

After two trips to the ER in the last year and almost 8k in medical bills, I have to agree.

Maybe get a smaller point, like extra fine instead of fine. I think .5 is the finest point they make.
