    Worst case scenario for Snowflake is that their growth halters but they would still have enough hooks in companies around the globe to never really go out of business. Because database technology becomes monolithic in any company if given enough time. This is why ancient products like the 1980s...

    What I am referring to is sweat equity basically. If you're the first 10 to 100 people at a startup that makes it big part of taking the risk on that company/job at lower pay (sometimes) is that you get paid in equity via shares. Sometimes this can get you a straight-up retirement amount of...

    While I am a bit upset that these games are lazy ports I legitimately have never played any of them so meh. Worth it in my situation.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I've never been in that situation but if my wife was cheating on me with some other married man. I wouldn't hesitate for a single second in contacting the dude's wife when I found out.

    That's reality for all IPOs though. Startups like Snowflake are not even 10 years old. The first 10-50 employees get supreme stock equity deals.

    Yeah I don't get it. A hard 10 of female perfection decides to camwhore her 20s away rather than take the easy route of shacking up with some ultra rich dude.

    I'd still pound that though. Internet says she's 28. But I remember seeing her tits for quite a while. She must have started back in 2010.

    I'm putting down a solid amount on this. Their final round of funding before they filed got them buy-ins from Berkshire and Salesforce to buy in driving the price to >$100 at IPO. https://techcrunch.com/2020/09/08/snowflakes-ipo-could-value-it-as-high-as-24b-salesforce-and-berkshire-to-invest/...

    The Stand

    The big evil of the King-Verse or Dark Tower Universe is always The Crimson King. I get that most people probably haven't read all of King's stuff. So yeah, in the context of The Stand as an individual novel Flagg is very nebulous. Even in the grander series, Flagg may be a terrible individual...

    When your wife says...

    A little background here is that I never intended to live in Austin for 20 years (or forever) and she knows this. She's known this for as long as we've been together. Staying in Austin for as long as I have has been unusual for my adult life. Another thing between us is that she does not...

    When your wife says...

    Her family, which is mostly her mom, has stayed with us for like a year in the past 3. Her mom doesn't live in the USA. Which is why I am bringing this up to her now. In a year when it gets more serious, she will have had time to process this.

    Her problems are not being near her friends. We have no family here in Texas at all. That is why I am not going to listen to it.

    Not trying to be callous here but she has expressed a desire to be around family and support right? The entirety of my extended family, my parents, my three sisters, and their families, and the rest of our extended family literally all live in Oregon. Every single one of them. But when we are...

    You watch too much news. We'd be moving to Central Oregon and not Portland, which is a shithole. We normally agree on major life things like normal people. However, I am not going to listen to her input on this particular one. As we have the opportunity to move and still maintain and advance our...

    Thing is here that if the advantage is significant enough in Mythic progression. The only thing Ion cares about. Then Method and the professional poopsockers absolutely will do this. It's hardly a meme.

    They really need to have Gallywix make abandoned plot points like this into amusement parks and silly shit like that. It'd be within character for him and still actually funny.

    Well, last season we saw the security tape where she goes into Homelander's Office with him then stumbles out disheveled a few hours later. A few weeks later she finds out she's knocked up and goes to Vought Corporate and decides to abandon William and hatch her bastard. Then raise him in...

    So I've decided we're moving to Oregon to take advantage of the coming 100% Remote Working Revolution. I would like to be nearer to the rest of my fam especially my father as he likely will not live for another decade. We won't be serious about this until over a year from now for various...

    Ended up getting the Vivoactive 4 over the Forerunner 245 as the advanced running analytics aren't important to me.

    I don't particularly understand why Butcher has the long apologizing diatribe to his wife about not abandoning her. When she got drunk, fucked Homelander, and abandoned Butcher 8 years prior... but it wasn't her fault?

    Yes, the one thing I've learned from the Rona as an almost exclusively long term holder who has never sold anything he's bought until this year is that I need to consider taking profit off the table now and again.

    I had it for like two years. They don't refund then. As in, it broke in 8 months and I shelved it and forgot about it. When I was looking for new ones this week. I found this issue.

    Okay so I've been big on the Garmin Forerunner since 2008 when it was a clunky piece of shit. But still amazing for the time. I've progressed through a few other Garmins since then. My last good watch died in 2018. This was a forerunner smartwatch version. I ended up buying a Garmin Vivoactive...

    But they aren't meaningful because you can change them. People will bitch endlessly because there is zero chance Blizzard is capable of balancing the Covenant abilities. For whatever content patch certain covenants will absolutely have an edge over the others per class.
