This has been my experience with my last two offers. In the moment, I was just glad to have gotten a job. My current position offered less than 80% my previous hourly wage, but they had told me beforehand they couldn't match my last job, but that I would get more hours (which I do). It came out to about even, and I got a 17% raise after 4 months, so now I'm making more than my last job, taking hours into account.

I make around 35k, I'm 22, I've dropped out of 4 colleges/universities, and I'm an IT tech with a couple years experience (small businesses, so higher quality experience than level 1 or something). I had very little power to negotiate anyways, but I was irritated with myself for not rehearsing a "let me think about it" spiel or at least vaguely asking if they could do any better.

Is this a joke? I thought that's actually how it's supposed to work.

I remember a book I had when I was young that had all these inventions. Many of them were actually plausible, but they were all a little farfetched, and most were the sort of "inventions" or little life hacks a child might think up.

One of them was a very fine mesh in a resealable pouch for you to put food in, so you could taste it and feel it, but you wouldn't swallow it. It was pretty absurd, but I figured you should know that somebody's working on it.

It just might not be that hardware. Going through all those links may max out your R/W speed.

On average, of course. Some 25-year-old out there has, like, half a dot.

I had a checking account under my Dad with a debit card when I was a minor. When I turned 18, I just called them, and they made it my current checking account. I'm not sure what the difference was.

I've seen posts on /r/coffee where people's workplaces have half a dozen or more brewing methods available to them, including grinders, espresso machines, and steam wands. If my work had that, you can guarantee I'd have a spreadsheet to track what tastes best to me.

The area-555-1212 one actually is the most expensive at $3.50 according to Wikipedia [1]. There is toll-free directory assistance (it doesn't say what number) from AT&T, where the 800-number owner pays for any lookups.

GPS is good enough for autopilot; I've flown with them just fine. It's also common to do GPS approaches in inclement weather, and when you break out of the clouds, the runway is right where it should be!

At his link, you can see it distinguishes between total received and total balance.

Thinking of the reward is important, since the further out it seems, the less it seems to impact people.

I think it's up high, because the smoke would rise.

Do you happen to have an example of one? Where do you find them?

In Texas, at least, police can't pull you over in a car that doesn't say "Police". I suppose they could have plainclothes officers drive the "stealth" cars with their decals in reflective light gray, so long as they still would be "undercover" under the wording of the policy/laws.

That type of saying doesn't always mean there should be one person at the top, just that the balance is off.

Most people know that there are more than one chef in the kitchen, yet we still figuratively say there are too many.

After reading the long quote about rules, I bought it on Amazon. It sounds awesome, thanks for the recommendation. Link below for anyone else.
