I'm fully transparent with my kids though. I don't plan on giving them the illusion of privacy and then yanking the rug. They've known from day 1 that me, Zuckerberg and the NSA can see everything. I also wouldn't confront them for calling me a dick in a DM or whatever. Hell, I'll be happy if...
I'll be monitoring social media unless the trend drastically shifts and kids stop being retarded about it. I know every old guy likes to say it was different when they were a kid, but when it comes to computer use it's true. I was anonymous on the internet and treated it like it was all a game /...
HDHP/HSA definitely takes some planning and management. I'd way rather have a PPO, but I'm making due with the HDHP pretty well. I had really good insurance when I worked for state/local gov and both my kids only cost me under 1000 for the whole pregnancy and birth and all that. I'm done having...
No you're right, I guess I didn't read your objective close enough. I think though, if I was working with data where endianess mattered I wouldn't want to deal with structs. At the very least I'd have to see how the struct looked when it was compiled on the destination computer with the opposite...
The first tier of Legion all seemed pretty decent to me. Granted that wasn't Mythic. There were a few times when all the "GUYYYYYSSSS" got kind of annoying but other than that I had fun.
5-8 minute boss fights is about the sweet spot for me. Garrosh was the worst because all the real dangerous shit didn't happen until like 11 minutes into the fight.
It's definitely one of those fields where you don't want people on board who don't want to be there. What does suck about it though, is there are lots of smart dudes who I think could make a big impact if they landed on the right program with the right company - but it's this big giant mess that...
Is it the age that makes it weird or is it because she's a weird person? 9 years, especially when we're talking 30's and 40's aint really shit, but if these are the people you've told stories about then I'd say age difference is the least of their problems.
Saw this viral survey someone started here about salaries https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1rGCKXIKt-7l5gX06NAwO3pjqEHh-oPXtB8ihkp0vGWo/htmlview?sle=true
Interesting to see what people are getting paid based on title, industry and area. I wish it included company names.
edit: google...
I used to work for Nintendo. I think the Pokemon Bellevue office may have opened after I left. It's probably a decent place to work but Bellevue has ridiculous cost of living and some of the shittiest traffic in the US.
It's not really the UI that I dislike, it's more the fact that they give you options that have a well defined meaning in the networking world, but do their own slightly different thing when you actually configure it. For example, they allow you to have dual WANs and they allow you to route your...
That really sucks and honestly I'd be lying if I said I never thought/worried about that type of situation. My wife has been handling our money for 10 years (the last 5 of which she hasn't worked) and we've never had a single problem. She gets what she wants, I get what I want, neither of us are...
Well that's my point really, there's nothing tough about my finances. At the moment I couldn't tell you when any of my bills will auto deduct because my wife knows all that, but if I needed to, it would take me a very small amount of time to sort it out.
I'm 100% hands off on bills too but my wife has been paying them all fine and on time for 10 years now and I'm perfectly happy leaving that job to her. I understand why it's a good idea to be involved in home finances, but should I need to step in, I'm confident I could sort it all out in like...
My wife looks good with or without makeup. I'd never actually given makeup much thought nor have I ever wound up with a woman who looked terrible without it. It's pretty easy to tell though when a woman is wearing make up to hide something vs. to accentuate. You can see that face cake from a...
I'm that one IT guy who doesn't like Ubiquiti. Their equipment is fine and all - it works and they seem to have good quality control - but goddamn do I hate their software. I have ASUS ac68u routers and they have been great. I used to be a Netgear guy, but their quality control went into the...
Google Fi - Phones
Pixel 3 and 3xl are half off if you buy and activate on google fi today only (22 Apr). You can get trade in credit on top of it as well.
You still have tonsils? My mom had to get them removed as an adult because she got an abscess behind one and had a sore throat for like a month. If it hurts more on one side, could be that.
I can honestly say I've never thought about killing myself. I've had a few times where I felt like dying wouldn't be the worst thing that could happen, so maybe that falls into that spectrum, but I never actually thought about making it happen.
Nah never heard of that being a thing. I've seen "maintenance coders," but those are usually old dudes who need something to do until retirement.
110k would be good money for the south though. If it's DC or the north east, that's not enough.
What area is that in?
What kind of company is it? I've never heard of a hygiene department or whatever that just refactors code.
I also kind of hate the "engineering" title in IT. Or rather, I hate the lack of integrity that it has.
Here's the compromise. You tell her your Father's Day present will be a guitar. That's two months to save $700. The kids will be all happy that they got to give dad a guitar. It's a win/win.
I dunno if it's a sector per se but I'd like to do high speed R&D shit. I'd probably prefer defense since there's some pretty big problems to solve there - electronic warfare is going to be a huge thing in the coming years. I'm sure there will plenty of big tech companies involved as well, Cisco...
I had a lot of buddies that worked for Capital One when they had a big office in WA state. They all liked it, but they did close down and lay them all off. It doesn't sound like they were doing anything too cutting edge on the IT front. I don't think I'd want to jump into the finance sector...
Check out small modeling amps or even small tube amps. The Vox mini might be up your alley for the clean tones. Blackstar amps also have a really nice tone as well.
That's a pretty common collections tactic. They report anything and everything they can including your failure to pay the fees they tack on to the collections.
About 500.
I'd take a galaxy tab s4 over a surface any day. Pixel Slates seem very nice too, I'm just not real keen on the hit or miss compatibility with Android apps.
Seems like you could pull together a fairly strong data analyst resume. I can't say that I've explored the field much, but there has to be lots of jobs for that role in RTP. Check out SAS, I believe it has won best place to work in USA a few times.
I have a vested interest in this guitar too. I'm slaving away in a middle eastern shithole (and getting paid well for it) and plan to buy a guitar when I get home. I didn't ask my wife though, it was more like that scene from Training Day when the guitar was discussed.
The new car seems like the only sticking point to me. It does suck to not put as much as you possibly can down on a car. Still you should be able to get a low enough interest rate that $700 bucks will barely be noticed.
I'm not an investment guru but seems like maxing 401K and opening an IRA if you still have extra income to save is a good way to go for retirement savings. If it's not, them I'll be broke when I retire. Hopefully the guitar collection will have greatly appreciated in value by then.
