It's not rich people who are gambling. It's folks who, like when marijuana was legalized, now have an easy/legal outlet to gamble on sports they were already watching without having to deal with a booky and the risks that entails.

In some states it is. The total price for registering a car in Colorado takes the weight of the vehicle into account (along with the price and the age).

I remember having a minor panic when registering my car at the DMV and hearing the person in front of me paying well over $1000 for the year. Turns out they were registering a brand-new, very large (and heavy) pickup truck.

Spending a Saturday putting soft-close hinges on every cabinet door in my house was one of the best quality-of-life investments ever.

So people driving new Ford vehicles won't be able to get weather/emergency information in the Rockies/Sierra's (and others I'm sure) along with the vast stretches of I-70/80 (and likely more) that don't have any services for long stretches. Granted the primary user for these broadcasts are over-the-road truckers who likely have other options, but it's also handy to tune into an AM station to hear the weather and road conditions when there's no usable cell service.

Not the parent commenter, but I was on disability as a SWE following abdominal surgery since I couldn't drive to work and working remotely wasn't allowed by my employer at the time (2006).

So despite my job having me in a chair all day, my inability to get _to_ my job required a couple of weeks on short-term disability until I got cleared to drive.

Colorado School of Mines is fairly selective (11K applicants for 1400 slots). DU (University of Denver) is a bit less selective.

Both are private schools.

With the exception that if you break the lease, you now owe those "free" months back.

I had the experience of getting an all access pass to an NHRA event at Bandimere in Colorado a few years back. I stood behind the start line, about 15 yards for most of the event. Being that close to a top fuel drag car at launch was a sensory experience: extreme noise even with plugs inside of over-ear protection, sound waves pushing me back, bits of rubber hitting my legs, and a little bit of "rain" from the water in the exhaust falling.

or, as with my experience in licensing IBM stuff, the charged per CPU.

And you can get burnout from exercising too much. Had this happen when I was training for some ultra-distance stuff before I had the proper training framework.

From a strictly money perspective, you get the pay bump from the promotion, then another pay bump from changing jobs.

Similar thing happened to me with a much shorter move: central NJ to Philadelphia suburbs. Once I started using an address local to my job search I had no issues getting interviews. Before that was rough and the distance was only 100 miles.

They have a DVD center in Pheonixville, just west of Philadelphia.

My team, and most of the teams in my division, are full-time Comcast employees. Our PM and QA orgs, however, is full of contractors.

Reminds me of when I lived in southeast PA by Kennett Square, a town with a lot of mushroom farms. I was curious as to why they were in that area. Turns out you need hay and horse urine to grow mushrooms. That area has a lot of hay farms and a lot of horse farms.

Riding a bicycle by the farms when they were changing over a grow house on a humid summer morning is an olfactory experience I won't forget.

I grew up by one of these in NJ: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yards_Creek_Generating_Station

I remember parking at the lower reservoir and hiking to the upper one and being amazed at how big the water pipe is.

Losing her chip is major red-flag. I've raced 3 full IM's, 13 half-IM's, and a bunch of sprints/olympics/etc. and have never lost a chip and know very few people who have. Losing a chip while not losing the strap is also suspicious since it takes effort to thread the chip onto the strap and effort to get the chip off. I'm not saying it can't happen, but a history of losing timing chips is very odd.

The image at the top of the piece shows her chip at her ankle, below her wetsuit. Unless you plan on losing your chip, you ALWAYS wear the chip higher up so your wetsuit covers it, making it harder to come off in the swim when other swimmers grab your ankles.

In CO, buying MMJ still requires a medical card. If you go to a medical/recreational dispensary without a medical card you can only purchase recreational MJ, which tends to be sativas or hybrids while medical tends to be indicas and indica hybrids.

There are also different tax and quantity rules around MMJ in Colorado. Medical card holders pay 2% (I think) tax while recreational pay over 20% tax. Medical card holders can also purchase 2oz at a time while recreational users can only buy an ounce at a time. Medical card holders can also grow twice the amount at home than non-card holders.

Until there's no differentiation between medical and recreational MJ, there will still be a need for doctors who are willing to fill out the paperwork for medical cards.

In philly, and yes, the degree has paid off.

Stevens Tech I assume. I'm an '02 grad in CS.

4 marathons here. Three were Ironman marathons and one just-a-marathon (Philly 2007, 3:48).

I followed a similar program for the standalone as I did for the Ironman marathons: one hard run (hills, tempo, fartlek, etc), one long run, and 2-3 easy-ish runs. Each run will get longer as you progress until you're at the point of doing 15-17 miles as your long, 8-10 as your hard workout, and the rest being as short as 3 and as long as 6 miles.

I personally never ran more than 2 hours (~15-17 miles) at a time when marathon training. Others, like my wife, would run three hours as their long run. For me, the recovery and wasted days after a three hour run weren't worth it. I'd rather run 2 hours then another hour the next day than run three hours and not be able to run again for two days.

And since you're still a ways out, weight train now to avoid injury later. You don't need to do massive weights and you can avoid bulk using higher rep sets but getting some lunges, squats, and dead lifts in now could save you from injury during your key training period.

Or the the rising wages in China means that building a fully automated line isn't as cost-prohibitive as it was in the past. And with states/cities throwing tax incentives at companies it doesn't matter where the automated line is so long as it can be integrated into the supply chain easily.

It's likely a combination of lower volume, like you state, cheaper automation, rising wages and some political incentives like tax breaks, etc.

It's generally asked at the end of the interview.

While we don't ask FizzBuzz in particular we have a question my manager asks: If you could fold a piece of paper 50 times, how tall would it be (very rough ballpark figure)?

Our success rate is surprisingly low.
