Before eSIM, tmobile global data and text in 150 countries was the dream for my 5x trips a year. Now I just pop into the Eu and pick up a prepaid month European esim and spend €20+€15 additional month vs the $200 a year I was spending. Italy even has a deal in the summer now for €15 for 30 days.

Check out the sunrise times in the summer. 5am, we’re seeing dawn breaking. I’m not hiking in the dark, nor on a trail I don’t know. Also, flashlights help for those 20 min.

Ha, come hang with me in the summer on a Saturday. We’ll start climbing a 14,000 foot mountain (thats like 4600 meters for my EU friends) at 5/6am with intent on reaching the peak before 12. Why 12? Because the afternoon thunderstorms are rolling in and lets just say lightning is electrifying at 14000…. Well, at any height really.

Boring, never.

Yeah, that was a typo and my experience is limited towards the AWS side which is also facing this issue. But the numbers are there, some people have been at Amazon for a decade, so 20 months (if they had MY package of 2mos per year). Amazon was throwing everything at new hires, because they were making bank on their work.

They are getting severance when terminated, unless for cause. My comment was, this is how they avoid it by forcing people to quit.

Like many companies, they overhired in the last 4 years. Some of these people are due years of severance (my offer listed 2months for every year after 1 year), not to mention the vested stocks and other bonuses granted during this insane hot hire period.

So how do you remove people not loyal to the company? The most hated mandate ever. Amazon is a company that doesn’t need people in the office. This is nothing more than screwing people over.

Did you try to reboot?

Heh. This was me when I was shopping for a new Sonic toothbrush. WHY ARE THRER APPS?!?!?? Seriously though, spending $100 for the (questionable) quality toothbrush that had zero need for my info. I don’t want stats. I don’t want to know the battery percentage.

If your pee is this color, drink more water. This is not a good color.

I’m no golden rule and I assure you, coffee date is on my profile. 1-2 dates a week. I’ve also had coffee… then some lunch… then dinner. All about connecting and not being a dumbass. No one wants to be trapped on a date that isn’t working, coffee or even just breakfast, is the best option.

Clearly you use adbloker or something cause temu just got excited when you opened up the link.

I’m never ashamed of what books I read, especially since they are on a kindle and no one ever looks at the title. Besides, you’re just as likely to find LOTR, Dune, Foundations, pretty much anything from Dumas, among others on my kindle. If i’m reading books that are well written, have a decent plot and make me never want to put the book down, then who the fuck cares that I’m reading hunger games, harry potter or the golden compass… not any friend i’d want to keep.

Its the same with movies, though i find those less compelling overall. But damn if i’m not going to go see any new finding nemo or minions movie.

I have Levis 501 classics, from 1993 that I wear often. I’m tired of fashion dictating what i’m supposed to wear. Though, i do like me some dress chinos, BUT NOT BECAUSE THEY ARE COOL…. Damn comfy.

As a recently single guy with a very cute wing dog, I know this conversation well. Though, my pups has been fairly spot on with bad humans, so maybe there’s something there. 2 weeks back I took her on my 3rd date with this lady and my pupper low key growled at her. 8lbs Maltese who loves nearly every human she can lick… growled. I of course chastised her for the behavior, but she stayed clear of the lady all night.

2 dates later my lady friend was showing some red flags and I called it quits right then. The text I got after was toxic.

So listen to your dogs people.

In what area of the USA do you live where the average american knows what a meter is. You’ll get some nonsense like “about 3 feet”, maybe.

An appropriate response to this nonsense.

Ha, nope. But i see I’m not alone. There is hope dear people.

Sure, popover video of cute cats and turtles eating strawberries

The idea here is that ads will be unskippable, aka, you skip ahead 10-20 seconds but can’t. They’re will be controls that appear to catch this. If they incorporate ads and I can just fast forward, then who cares. This is google, they want to watch ads.

I’ll just write a greasemonkey script that detects unskippable time and mute audio. Let’s play this game google, fuckin I dare ya.
