“When we reached SuperTwist monochrome passive matrix LCD’s we thought we’d reached the peak for universal display technology; great contrast, cheap to manufacture, and low power.”
You’ve never said something then thought better of it seconds after posting? Or perhaps you posted something as factual, but moments later figured out it wasn’t?
Its one thing if your comment has been sitting for hours or days and is part of the conversation, I won’t delete those even when I’m wrong. I’ll just do an edit and change to strikethrough. However, if its literally seconds and you realize your post is just unnecessarily inflammatory, or reading further comments leads you to sources that you find you are wrong under a minute from posting? Yes, I’ll delete those. No reason to waste other people’s time when what I ended up added is a net negative to the conversation and I know it. I can’t say I delete often, but very occasionally.
Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (2010) - which among other things created the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and put in place the Volcker Rule which forbids banks from making certain risky investments with depositors money. To give you an idea of the power of the Volcker Rule, when it went in place banks begged (and got) a 5 year delay to divest for investments that violate the rule. Yeah, banks were playing fast-and-loose with with the money you deposited in your checking and savings accounts for their own gain. The Volcker Rule stopped (most) of that.
As I’m not a celebrity, I’m guessing there’s quite a few more options than most of us are aware of. One example I could think of is for the celeb to make an LLC and have that LLC buy the house they’re living in.
Anyone can google their address and show up/take pictures/lurk/stalk, But thankfully most people would never think to do such a thing nor have any inclination to do so,
I’m sure that nearly all celebrities/public figures, once a certain amount famous, encounter crazy people that they should be fearful of.
How terrifying it must b for celebrities, so they have body guards and a security detail and full-fledged security system at their houses 😥 it’s exhausting thinking about it.
I don’t feel bad for them for this part. Its part of the price of being a public figure. I don’t know why people wish for fame. Seems like its a mountain of trouble to deal with.
I have my yearly review coming up and I have no idea what kind of questions to ask. I’m drawing a total blank.
You could ask a question demonstrating you’re thinking about how your actions influence the success of the company. Such as:
“What technologies or certifications are our customers asking for now or in the near future? If I could obtain some, that could increase my bill rate to because of that higher level of expertise.”
It comes off as an altruistic question, but knowing that answer, obtaining that skill makes you a more valuable worker in your industry irrespective of who is your employer. Especially closer to the beginning of your career the most valuable investments you can make are in yourself. This means skills, credentials, or tools. Have the ability to do things that your other peers can’t.
Didn’t bother with Barbie because it seemed not my style.
What I assumed the movie would be about being a Barbie movie isn’t my style either. However, the Barbie movie was quite a bit more than I expected. I rather liked the subtle feminist messaging underneath the obvious message. The movie also didn’t take itself too seriously on what could be considered very delicate topics. I’d recommend it even for non-typical Barbie doll audience.
Please tell me as the Hobbits are about to buy the beer, Aragorn rushes in, stands before them and says “My friends, you pay for no beer” then everyone in the bar walks over to pay part of the Hobbits beer tab, while the Hobbits stand there humbled and astonished.
Perhaps it my lack of awareness with the intricacies of autism. Isn’t it sending the wrong message that a rule can be in place to prevent harm/danger or a rule of the same caliber is just to enforce an arbitrary habit? Doesn’t that encourage rulebreaking because there’s a decent chance there’s no actual danger?
There’s just no productive reason to eat a whole head of lettuce when you have access to a more diverse option of food.
You can’t be unaware about how humans interact with food. There’s all kinds of non-productive eating we do. The question I’m posing is “how is this one harmful?”
It’s basically just a bunch of water with some fiber,
Thats my point. Its pretty benign. Nothing bad or dangerous in a quantity a human could eat.
so it may also lead to some interesting bowel troubles later in the day
If eating a whole head of lettuce in a day causes you bowel troubles, I think you could easily argue your diet outside of the lettuce is much much more worrisome.
No, you may not eat an entire head of lettuce for lunch.
Wait, why is that one bad? Its likely not enough calories for 1/3 of the day’s meals, but if they’re hungry later they’ll consume different calories elsewhere in the day, yes?
