Personally, I wouldn't want my employer restricted a maximum number of hours. I want the business to succeed and if takes a 70 hour week once in a while, I'm in it to win it.

(Take advantage of me, of course, and I'll go find another company that I want to see succeed.)

TFS says it's a "cap" of 52 or 69. How many hours does a South Korean typically work?

I don't believe in the U.S. there is any kind of cap on the hours we can work, but 40 hours is considered full time.

I graduated in 2000 and my first job was with MCI Worldcom.

It still works that way. My small town is getting an Amazon data center (and associated power lines) despite overwhelming protest of the residents. The county government says the tax revenue is more important.

That several elected members of the county government are getting lucrative jobs with Amazon corporate is purely a coincidence.

I can drive a stick shift but it took me about 10 minutes to figure out how to move a Prius.

The CEO of my company started the business with an Excel spreadsheet and an idea. What he does all day, I don't know, but if he didn't I wouldn't have my job.

For 24 years, that's been Java and C#. And JavaScript, unfortunately, but that's typically on top of Java or C# (I refuse to take another NodeJS gig).

Can you make a living with these other languages? While I see lots of job postings requiring C++, the actual project is always in... Java or C#.

Used (but in good condition) commercial grade power equipment costs the same as consumer grade and is always far superior. My used commercial grade lawn mower would outlast me, and when I'm done with it I can sell it for the same as I paid for it.

I've never tried tablets, but between powder, liquid, or those semi-squishy pods, the pods win by a huge margin. Even after experimenting with various amounts of powder or liquid detergent. But the main problem is the dishwasher just doesn't use enough water to physically carry solids out to the drain. Thus I have to run it twice.

And the unintended consequences is that I have to run my dishwasher twice to get dishes rinsed clean.

Someday a smart dishwasher will report that to the EPA and I'll get a fine in the mail for doing it.

I always hear that artificial sweeteners are bad in the context that they don't actually help weight loss.

But, personally, my body fat level is completely fine and I drink A LOT of diet soda. Is it still bad for me? I'm not trying to lose weight. I just like diet soda.

Unless you're Hillary Clinton.

NASA: We're really sorry, but you're going to have to spend an extra three months on the ISS.

Me: That's great!!!

Since Republicans pushed for this, I'm inclined to believe they'll claim Biden is stomping on the 1st Amendment if he actually does it (cue "It's a trap" meme).

Even more important for Russia now that it's clearly demonstrated it wouldn't stand a chance against the U.S. in conventional warfare.
