Narrator: it wasn't

I was taking a break on a hike a few weeks ago and a group of 3 girls and a guy passed me and the guy was narrating John Wick 4 scene by scene

This is not a neutral informative piece, it's trying to push a narrative and build support for an agenda. Part of that is how this particular point is phrased. Her condition is eligible for MAID, since she doesn't want MAID and hasn't applied for it, she hasn't been approved.

The biggest risk out in the woods is microorganisms. If you boil it or use a well designed filter you are likely going to be fine if you're drinking otherwise clear water.

I wouldn't just filter the water from the Hudson river and go to town, but if it's 10 miles to the nearest road I think you're probably doing better than your tap

Non credible defence is leaking into the real world

I've been listening to the audio books when I do my 10 h drive home for vacations/holidays and I watched the show first. I'm on book 7 now.

I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed book 1 and 2, but 3 through 6 I did find tedious to get through having seen the show and knowing what happens. I'm enjoying 7 again with a fresh story.

Personally, one of my favourite things about the series is the realism of the sci-fi setting and the use as a setting for a political drama.

Sort of agree on the filler and formulaic type writing as well, but I haven't noticed it as much with some fresh plot development

Well well well if it isn't the consequences of my own actions

Cast iron is great if you use it a lot. It does take a little more work to maintain because after you clean it it's best if you dry it and coat it with a thin layer of oil, but you don't have to if you use it all the time. Mine is non stick enough to fry an egg with no oil, so it's better than my old ass Teflon pans in that sense, but probably not as good as a new Teflon pan

Why are you holding it up to your face? I use speaker too if I'm busy and my hands are full but i put it down on a table. This has no advantage, you still have to hold it

This is just the same democrat message that alienates men in the first place. It's scolding but also not acknowledging that men (and white men) arent doing well right now. I think this message is counter productive.

Not in CS, but had a similar experience in a STEM field applying right out of school. I ended up getting my foot in the door at a crappy company working a crappy job and managed to leapfrog my way up to an actually interesting/exciting position from there. It took almost 5 years but I got there.

What broke it open for me was having a contact recommend me for a position. Both my first job getting my foot in the door, and my "good" position now came from knowing the right people in the right places. I know it sounds cliche, but it does work, and is especially important at entry level. In your position, try to get involved in professional organizations or open source projects based in Seattle. You can build a reputation that way, which is worth its weight in gold. It will be more difficult without being open to relocation.

The only other advice I have is regarding your resume and cover letter. You said you used chatgpt to help write it. Well companies are also using AI and other much less sophisticated methods to screen out resumes. It is critically important that you use the same phrasing of the skills requested in the job ad in your resume and cover letter. The more you hit, the higher your ranking will be in the automated screening. Getting past the automated screening, in my experience, is the most difficult part.

I had a coworker who would copy and paste the entire job description I'm tiny white font on the bottom of his resume and cover letter to get eyes on his resume. Something always felt a little wrong about that to me, but I'll let you make your own moral judgements.

Finally, don't give up! If you have to work in retail for awhile, that's fine (you can build up more contacts) but don't stop applying. You'll get there.

Congrats! You've been hired as a writer for white lotus

They work in Sweden... and Canada...

Think you're missing the point. If you use it 40 h a week you're not just buying it to flex on everyone. Have fun farming brother 🤙🤙

Built not bought

I think this is true ONLY in formal writing, which this document clearly intends to be despite it's complete inanity. Asterisks are used in computer code for multiplication and shorthand messages/emails all the time. Not many scientists/engineers/mathematicians out there that can't write at least an excel formula

Older maritimers remember the reform party and the apparent disdain they had for us. Unfortunately when the pcs and reform merged, we got mostly reform out of the deal

You guys are waiting until 10 am?

This is actually I think how Airbnb was originally supposed to work... You rent out a room or an in law suite that you aren't otherwise using. Or maybe your condo in a resort town when you're not there. Unfortunately became so lucrative that you can make more money doing that than renting. I stayed in one in a ski town recently that was clearly at least two separate apartments before and had all been combined to house large groups. Felt kinda crappy about that, and it goes to show how it eats up the housing stock

I'm an engineer. Writing by hand I would always use a fraction. If I had to write this in an email or something (quickly and informally) either the context would have to be there for someone to know which one I meant or I would use brackets. I certainly wouldn't just wrote 1/2x and expect you to know which one I meant with no additional context or brackets
