She had a greek last name. So she's probably greek and naturally has some of the features brittish makeup tries to emulate
The soldiers stationed at Honolulu could have done something really fuckin funny
My mom once tried to make it out like wages were bad when she was young, and she mentioned how little she was paid in a secretary job in the 80s. We ran it through an inflation calculator and she was making like 70-80k as a secretary while my wife was making 40k modern bux with a college degree.
God please don't let Firefox die.
I can't handle any more slop. I can't go back to chrome.
So uhhhh…what am I supposed to do in the meantime while waiting for a job?
Real talk, this is a bit of a crapshoot but it can work, it's worked a couple times for me.
Go hard on personal projects.
Make what you want to make, rewrite it when you're done and realize how stupidly you wrote it the first time. expand it, connect it to other projects, put it all on github, put a decent readme of the whys and hows of this project, it doesn't matter if you're the only one who uses it, that's called internal tooling.
When you run into an issue with a library you're using, learn to contribute to open source, file a pull request, get a feel for it.
Put your github at the top of your resume. Prune your top repos so people see what you want them to see first.
This wont be a silver bullet but if you apply to smaller shops that like/support open source, it makes the nerds interviewing you like you more. I've skipped programming challenges completely because I was able to talk in depth to the designs of my personal projects, so they knew I actually wrote it because I understood it. So if they wanted to see how I wrote code, they could trust I wrote what they're seeing.
The benefit to this approach is you also get a lot of experience. You're forced to learn to architect your stuff from first principles, you're forced to learn from all your mistakes.
This market sucks, these projects will feel like a full time job, but it can pay off, and its a better bet than waiting. Nerds like working with other nerds. People on projects like working with others who can break down problems and figure things out, even if they don't know the solution immediately.
There is hope.
To be honest, I don't think it's enough reason for me to stop playing with the thermal printers anyway. A printer that never needs ink, what an invention.
damn I've been playing with thermal printers and custom cutting sheets from larger sheets. Not the thing I wanted to see.
They're gonna wish they did a Xiajiang style re-educate and release style program. Boys have been born in this camp, aged out of the women and children camp, and put straight into a prison with adult men who were doing actual terrorism.
Basically an extremism factory, almost as if it was done on purpose.
A lot less money than I would have thought tbh.
I don't really have an issue with the community mega threads in general, I think I mentioned it because when I log on, it's basically half the front page which might be hiding activity overall. But yeah, there's ways I could improve my experience. I think I just don't stay on long enough to actually figure it out.
You've got people going team coconut, people super angry about team coconut.
I saw some people upset that their primary vote didn't matter(THERE WAS ONLY ONE CANDIDATE, MOST OF THE PRIMARIES WERE CANCELLED).
I'm seeing people complain that Biden was old and senile then immediately complain Kopmala was a cop.
I feel like everything everyone is saying should have a giant flashing "THIS SHOULD GO WITHOUT SAYING" disclaimer above it.
I know a guy who was complaining his GF's immigrant mother, who's husband just had his citizenship finalized, was going to vote for trump. He was bewildered. A day fuckin later, he's saying "I'm not going to vote for Kamala".
Like huge fucking stand you're making dude, cool, great, whatever. Like this whole thing was already a giant sham, the entire election and campaign has been "not trump" from the start. Despite all the awful bullshit Biden has pulled in the past and present, despite firmly being in the incontinence club and sundowning at 3PM, the entire message was "not trump".
Now suddenly the cop is like this whole other category than "not trump", people have concerns. People are unsure of her ability to lead. Like what the fuck? These fucks don't even matter, they're the stickers on top of your fucking beyblade for christ's sake. The election is Heritage foundation vs a conglomerate of tax-writeoff corporate donations.
Like can we* all just be fucking honest and drop the charade and go "we're voting against the heritage foundation"
* not my lovely geometric bears, the greater we

I just think its good.
The way I see it, you can have an OS that breaks less often and is hard to fix, or an OS that breaks a little more often that is easy to fix. I choose the latter. 99/100 times, when something breaks with an update, it's on the front page of archlinux.org with a fix.
The problems I've faced with other distros or windows is the solution is often "reinstall, lol", which is like a 3 hour session of nails on a chalkboard for me.
