That's the thing you want to eat out of the fridge as a filler, cold with some sort of fat sauce (also directly out of the fridge, like a ranch or something) because otherwise it has no taste nor recognizable texture. Yes it's crunchy, but there are so many crunchy salads which are way tastier and better (like the "Sucrine", can't find an English name, that's not even the better, but that's readily available (fresh, not in a bag you need to refrigerate))
“I think when it comes to just sheer deliciousness, people always loved iceberg lettuce,” says Angie Rito, chef and co-owner at Don Angie." Wat. I guess that was a century ago, before the industrialization and selection of bland lettuces that are bland but can survive without darkening for a week in a plastic bag.
I'm always dumbfounded hearing about the American way to think about food, all you can readily buy is so industrialized, you miss so much.
I don't understand that. Anyone knows that a cat or a dog or a lizard or a chicken can feel pain, that's so obvious. How can scientists deny something so obviously obvious ?
When you know that astronomers call about anything that is not hydrogen or helium "metals" and you learn that even gazes are "ices" for some reason¸ makes you think now would be a good time to level the playground and start again :)
He's stronger than most of twentysomethings.
"What makes me tick is not the desire for more money, I really have all I need. "
He's rich.
"The happiest times of my professional life happened when I was in a room with people I liked and respected, thinking about solving problems that mattered to us."
Like no one else, he's kind of an exception that likes to do what he likes to do.
From his website: "Our focus is to develop and deploy powerful and resilient infrastructure for Artificial Intelligence (AI) software companies, ensuring they are equipped to counter common and industry specific threats and cybersecurity breaches. "
That doesn't mean anything, but at the same time "There is a war for machine learning talent, and the quickness with which people accept our rates make me think we should be charging significantly more! ". So he doesn't need money, but thinks he should be charging more.
"In this context, does it matter that I am in my 50s? Not really, but I thought it would make for a good hook in the title. If I can remain healthy and work sane hours (which is not hard when you had good partners and know how to delegate)"
You're fucking 53, not 80, stop making it seem like you are on the brink of dying of old age. And "to know how to delegate" is just to make people work for you and get the reward.
" I can see myself doing this while my brain remains sufficiently sharp."
What, you are 53.
What a fucking clown.
less risk, you used the wrong word. If they can fire easily, they take less risk by hiring. That's more risk for the employee though, you miss the fact that most of the people is not HN, and they don't get paid 6 or 7 figures and don't find a job in days if they really need to.
In (most of ?) Europe, this severance is law and not debatable (as discovered by Musk recently), so this sentence would be outright illegal. You can talk about your salary with anyone you want, discuss it with your colleagues, that's even mandatory for mass-layoffs (through unions and/or elected representatives).
You should fight for some more rights, sometime <3
I'm not criticizing anyone or any tool, just that we can't seem to find some good way to tool the compilation of both trivial and very complex projects, without taking an hour or two off.
I also understand that I do not want to work on such an endeavor, that seems boring AF and kudos for people that like that. You are not enough it seem :)
So it's not the future of warfare then by your own words, that's the present situation. What are you complaining about ?
fsck, that hurts.
Yep
> Pools are good for cooling down in the summer. Is it better if they use electricity and A/C instead?
There is not much A/C in France/Europe. Go to a lake or a public pool instead, no need for A/C.
> The worst thing is that other countries are copying this anti-pool thing because it's populist .
It is necessary. Not populist, necessary. We can't afford to just scream "freedom" or "populism" every time the upper middle-class wants to enjoy an environment-destroying luxury. Think of the freedom to live of the others. Is a pool necessary ? Of fsking course not. Don't try to color this as a basic need. You don't need a pool to cool down in the summer. You also don't need a 2 tons car, you don't need to travel to the other side of the world for your holidays, and those things are very detrimental to everyone, you included.
For instance, that shows that more than half of Russia territory is closest to the capital of Mongolia (which is Ulaanbaatar) than to Moscow, that's the point.
Turkey is ok I think.
Nope ? Politics comes from the greek "Politikos", which relate to the organization of a society (or a company in this case). You seem to put a bad behavior into a word that doesn't mean what you think.
Reading your post (I gather you are the author), you fired a whole team for "bad behavior", without explaining how you are not the problem. Maybe you aren't, but that demands explanations.
For me and for what you explained (nothing), you are the problem, and the person blaming others while faking niceness to everyone.
He's just rambling in the void, or did I miss something ?
What ?
