There’s a happy medium. I have a slightly newer VW GTI (2017) with a touchscreen but there are still buttons and dials for basically everything. It’s a perfect infotainment system if you ask me :)

To be fair it’s pretty hard to be miserable on a cool bike.

He did it before and he’ll do it again. The last round of tariffs was backbreaking and this one will be worse.

I work for a small business and we’re still doing okay but all those tariffs get passed directly to consumers. If it costs 7.5% more to import something, it will get sold for 7.5% more.

And that is the low end of tariffs.

This is sort of beside the point you’re making, but a lot of 1st/2nd generation Latinos still look down on immigrants. “We did it the hard way, so they should have to as well” similar to bootstrap mentality.

It’s some real mental gymnastics, but I’ve had several latina girlfriends over the years and some of their families were poor or super well off, but they openly hated Mexicans and/or Puerto Ricans.

That number isn’t really that surprising.

You should see a doctor for that.

From 2005 peace corps, it also shows up on a business insider list with some more info.

What a dire situation.

Probably just a summary on the lock screen?

If you’re pounding one out that won’t really save you. He probably games with headphones and just doesn’t want to get jump scares by mom.

I always had a desk and a bed and I made a point to never have my back towards the door when I was at my desk for the above reason.

Ya, family holidays are stressful. If you smoke weed and know a relative smokes weed, it’s tradition to “go for a walk” or have a “safety meeting” or “take out the trash” to break away from the main group and get some fresh air.

In my family it’s my brother and his wife. Usually right after dinner.

I went to Chicago air and water show this year. Blue angels did a low pass and it was deafening. Couldn’t imagine being that close

Sorta. CBM is cubic meters and the entire world uses feet for shipping containers. For Intl logistics CBM and kg are the standard for volume and weight but they get loaded into containers measured in feet.

You’ll see similar stuff in other industries. Machining a lot of measurements are in mm but tolerances in “mils” or 1/1000 of an inch. Or medical where volume is in mL or drams.

When it comes to distance though I only really know miles.

For context 28 CBM is about the volume of a 20’ container.

Or a stacked pallet is about 1.8 CBM so about 15 standard height pallets.

TIL my boss is more evil than Darth Vader.

Thanks for the explanation 👌

How many degrees are off from the avg tho? Just something to compare it to.

If anyone has any tips on how to cope with this lmk. I’m medicated but still an ineffective human 70% of the time. Life is hard I’m tired.

I am not an expert, but based on TV the general criteria is if you’re a harm to yourself or others (or self commit).

If I were applying I might do a cover letter for like my top 2-3 picks just to try and tip the scales.

I do the hiring for my department and most cover letters are AI/template garbage but sometimes I’ll get a short and sweet one that seems genuine and it gives a legitimate edge.
