No, you go after the people hiring the illegals. But that doesn't fit the narrative and its the more rich, well connected white men that are hiring them. Heaven forbid you go after someone like that
Honestly, it was the tone of the message, which is admittedly difficult to derive from a forum. IMHO, the proper response would have been one that questioned whether the 'upscale grocer' selling spareribs at $6.99/lb vs $1.49/lb were at different ends of the subjective or objective quality spectrum. In my case, they are literally the same brand: Smithfield. The only difference is that Aldi is $5+/lb less expensive.
That said, IMO, unless we're talking about a butcher that sources heritage-breed Berkshire (or the like) pork from a local farmer, I don't really give a flying fuck where the previously cheap cut of meat I'm going to put on my smoker for 6h is sourced from.
Windows has a weird situation where having more memory can lead to using less of it. If you try to run Windows 10 x64 with 4GB of memory it will run pretty good, but its memory usage is almost maxed out the whole time. It's probably swapping crap in and out constantly, but you don't notice because we all should have an SSD of some sort as the boot drive... this isn't the stone age. But if you have 8GB+, it will end up using most of it for the first 10 or so seconds of booting up, but then drop to ~2.5GB afterward
You are simply wrong. Sounds like a strong instance of PEBCAK
Why would I pay $6.99/lb at one of the 'upscale grocers' in town for spareribs when I can get them at Aldi for $1.49? I, too, drive a Mercedes, but it doesn't mean I'm a fucking moron w/my money.
These assholes charge $80-100 for a single checked bag. Their seats are honestly some of the worst I ever sat on IN ANY CIRCUMSTANCE, distanced so close to the seats surrounding yours that you will have aches and pains for the rest of the day that you flew with them. They are the bottom of the barrel shit hole airline, and people only need to fly with them once to realize they never want to do it again.
They are killing themselves
The average employee lasts well less than a year at a fast casual; this had little to do w/her background.
I am absolutely certain many of those kids are great at writing code; what I have found in the last ~3y of hiring candidates out of undergrad and/or masters programs is that they DO NOT interview well.
They can answer esoteric technical questions about software dev (I *assume* this is because they study for coding interview questions) but they cannot possibly answer more general questions about themselves, how they would operate in a real-world business setting, and/or how they might build something from soup to nuts.
I'm not asking them to give me real-world experience; but, I expect a college graduate to be able to think about questions asked critically and provide a coherent and thoughtful reply to that question. Even if it's technically 'wrong', the conversational nature is INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT for any work I have done in my 25+ year career.
Anyone can have AI solve most esoteric technical coding problems now; interfacing ability w/others on the dev teams and the rest of the business is what is important in getting shit done.
Colleges need to start investing HEAVILY in leveling up their students in how to interview well.
"Ms. Mishra, the Purdue graduate, did not get the burrito-making gig at Chipotle."
I think this single sentence says more about it than anything else in the article.
Paypal has now moved to providing a credit card linked to your account (whether you like it or not). I imagine that would work the same as any other credit card
I watch dogs (primarily overnight--most for 3-7 days but some 1 day and some >7d) via Rover. I make around $1500/month (pre-1099) and after their ~20% cut (of which most people give back to me in tips).
I WFH so the largely passive income is nice. I wouldn't have found as many people w/o a platform to do the heavy lifting for me in finding new dogs.
I am not advocating that we need to have these sorts of things in the market, but it does make for nice extra cash. YMMV.
Do you understand what an NFT actually is? They don't, and usually aren't, sold as a scammy cryptocurrency token. I get an NFT every time I go to a concert and it is a fun talking point when a group of friends share what shows they've been to. It has no selling value and is use for entertainment
There is nothing stopping you from doing it
