Where?
There isn't any job growth. Hell, Microsoft is ditching 18,000 employees while STILL begging for more H1B Indian slave visas.

This bunch of assholes has been sending fake renew notices to my company and to my clients for years. I've of course caught them and prevented people I work for from falling for it.
They never should have been allowed to act as a registrar, and it shows the corruption of ICANN that they weren't kicked in the balls years ago.
Almost no site I give a damn about relies on advertising.
Do you ever search for stuff?
Notice that the guy who said it is an advertising guy. That's his whole worldview. That's the way he thinks it is and the way he thinks it should be. Meanwhile for the rest of us, we have lots of alternatives. Paid sites, community-supported sites, ad-blocked sites, sites run by people who love what they are running a site about.
Basically this is a little advertiser wanting us to support clubbing a big advertiser, Google. He'd like us to get mad at his competition. What he wouldn't like is for us to start noticing just how much what he is advocating is in his self-interest.
I recommend we all switch to ad-block and screw them all. If some sites die or have to switch funding models, works great for me.
"Heads, I win, tails, you lose" isn't a new scenario.
My son is certified as a Microsoft Architect and at one point in his career was a senior Microsoft executive.
He described the upper levels as very political. There was little team spirit.There was a lot of jockeying for position, backstabbing and attempts to degrade people to to elevate yourself.
He eventually left and started his own company (which is doing quite well. He just bought a 40' RV)
I'm honestly not trying to Godwin anything but that sounds alot like career politics in the Third Reich.
With the small difference that in the Third Reich those who failed badly enough at the politics ended up with a bullet in their brain.
It sounds a lot more like career politics in most corporations. Not all, certainly, but most.
The militaries of the world take people who are 'just' farmers all the time. Most equipment is made to be operated by and maintained by average guys of average intelligence. (Depending on the level of mechanization of the farm, the proverbial farmer may be overqualified to operate some machinery)
Watch out for key loggers. It is pretty easy for the bad guys to get your info. They do it all the time
If the bad guys are installing system-level software, or -- even worse -- plugging hardware into your box, you're sunk. There's basically no defense against that. Two-factor auth helps, but only for sites that support it, and even then a real-time attack can get in.

How do you lose the advantage of the skin when it is cut prior to cooking? I'm seriously at a loss here.
(As far as your other observations, I don't know. Seems odd to me that you couldn't find something considerably better than TH for considerably less than $100. I suspect part of the problem is not knowing the area and which non-chain restaurants to hit. Chains are almost invariably aimed at the lowest common denominator)
There's a helluva lot of territory between Tim Horton's and $100 meals.
And what's wrong with fries fried with skin on? Most of the nutritive value of a potato is in the skin.
"Works for me. Close ticket"
That's not how science works.
"First, let me say that I was talking about workplace harassment."
For a Roman Catholic Priest, the Church is his workplace, the congregation his customers, the Bishop is his management. For an extremely bad Roman Catholic Priest, it is a very bad idea for the customers to complain to the management about sex abuse. It is in fact the direct cause of the scandal, that the misconduct was reported to the Bishop and not to the police.
There is a lesson in that for any organization.
" People can always call the police (or file a lawsuit), and obviously if your organization covers for harassers then that's the next step. "
It is a safe assumption that all organizations WILL cover for the harassers, because as you point out,
"escalating to the courts is expensive, time-consuming, embarrassing" for the organization, and in the end, the organization only cares about what is profitable for the organization.
But if we fail to do it, we merely perpetuate the rape culture.
Can someone explain this with a car analogy?

No idea about the laser.
Isn't this probaly one of the foremost National Security issues of the US? The freaking Stock Exchanges? You're telling me they don't know to what end, or who was in it?
If even part of this is true, this country really is FUCKED! All the way to the top!
