Before eSIM, tmobile global data and text in 150 countries was the dream for my 5x trips a year. Now I just pop into the Eu and pick up a prepaid month European esim and spend €20+€15 additional month vs the $200 a year I was spending. Italy even has a deal in the summer now for €15 for 30 days.

Check out the sunrise times in the summer. 5am, we’re seeing dawn breaking. I’m not hiking in the dark, nor on a trail I don’t know. Also, flashlights help for those 20 min.

Ha, come hang with me in the summer on a Saturday. We’ll start climbing a 14,000 foot mountain (thats like 4600 meters for my EU friends) at 5/6am with intent on reaching the peak before 12. Why 12? Because the afternoon thunderstorms are rolling in and lets just say lightning is electrifying at 14000…. Well, at any height really.

Boring, never.

Yeah, that was a typo and my experience is limited towards the AWS side which is also facing this issue. But the numbers are there, some people have been at Amazon for a decade, so 20 months (if they had MY package of 2mos per year). Amazon was throwing everything at new hires, because they were making bank on their work.

They are getting severance when terminated, unless for cause. My comment was, this is how they avoid it by forcing people to quit.

Like many companies, they overhired in the last 4 years. Some of these people are due years of severance (my offer listed 2months for every year after 1 year), not to mention the vested stocks and other bonuses granted during this insane hot hire period.

So how do you remove people not loyal to the company? The most hated mandate ever. Amazon is a company that doesn’t need people in the office. This is nothing more than screwing people over.

Did you try to reboot?

I’m no golden rule and I assure you, coffee date is on my profile. 1-2 dates a week. I’ve also had coffee… then some lunch… then dinner. All about connecting and not being a dumbass. No one wants to be trapped on a date that isn’t working, coffee or even just breakfast, is the best option.

Clearly you use adbloker or something cause temu just got excited when you opened up the link.

I have Levis 501 classics, from 1993 that I wear often. I’m tired of fashion dictating what i’m supposed to wear. Though, i do like me some dress chinos, BUT NOT BECAUSE THEY ARE COOL…. Damn comfy.

In what area of the USA do you live where the average american knows what a meter is. You’ll get some nonsense like “about 3 feet”, maybe.

An appropriate response to this nonsense.

Ha, nope. But i see I’m not alone. There is hope dear people.

Sure, popover video of cute cats and turtles eating strawberries

The idea here is that ads will be unskippable, aka, you skip ahead 10-20 seconds but can’t. They’re will be controls that appear to catch this. If they incorporate ads and I can just fast forward, then who cares. This is google, they want to watch ads.

I’ll just write a greasemonkey script that detects unskippable time and mute audio. Let’s play this game google, fuckin I dare ya.

I’m lucky enough to have a yard, but my dog knows when it’s past time to go for her walk and she’ll stare at me until I move. Morning walks right now mean I get up earlier, so she can have more sniff time.

When I travel with my pups, I use treats. She poops, gets treats. By the 3rd day, she’s heading straight to the same spot to poop real fast so she gets a treat. Give that a go.

Next up, ios20 will let you change the color of your fried chat bubble in groups. And it’ll be the most innovative inclusion “evarrrhh”.

Good catch and I agree. Once my ex wife took care of herself properly, it was a positive experience for us both.

Gah, as I reentered the dating world after a long (looooong) marriage, I experienced this and I am not looking forward to more of this. Glad to see someone else who has sisters and heard “the talk from mom” but at my age (40s), I should not be teaching you the very easy and basic maintenance of your vagina. As we were fooling around I could smell her more and more, and I was polite to the gal and tried to encourage her to use the lady wash setting on my bidet, “it’s a game changer”… “no thanks”. Sigh… sex was mediocre and I was done with that relationship.

My Ex-wife was never taught proper hygiene and sex was a shunned topic at her home. So when i finally broached the “smell” a few years in (20s), it was a rough time and required counseling for us both. Bidet seats about 18 years ago after a trip to Italy were a marriage/sex saver… well, somewhat. Clearly i’m divorced now, but thats a different issue.
