I’m down if you’re near Portland, OR.
Went in with zero expectations and legitimately and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Is there anything that disables / stops sticky videos when scrolling on mobile?
I get pissed off when I’m reading a news article, scroll down, and their headline video (often just an ad) clips itself to the top 1/3 of the screen.
About 2hrs per job.
Is that the same as skin cancer?
Probably going to be Lost. I’m 3 episodes in as of 2008 and haven’t gone back yet…if I ever do, it will be the longest to get into for me by far.
In seriousness though…As others have said, The Office and Parks & Rec took me about a season to get into.
Arrested Development, I admit, took me a few episodes.
Always Sunny took me about a season…I think just to get into a groove of the style or something, I dunno.
I charge at home for $0.058/kWh. The company that provides it is also local and it does create local jobs.
I resemble this…sort of. Except my car is already paid for and I really don’t think it’s a wise decision to just blow money on another car simply to get out of a current vehicle that more than meets my needs.
Help friends & family. Donate to community assistance programs. Donate to other causes. Buy people nice gifts.
There are still…I dunno…probably DNS hops, IP, time’s of day, browser window size, browser user agent…
And if you access any page with any similar parameters on your phone or another household device on any site with FB tracking, it’s over.
It looks like in the last 7 days my phone has cutoff over 150,000 different tracking attempts and that’s just catchable ones and on my phone.
Same! I currently use Sync (was not a Sync fan historically), but I’ve tried Liftoff, Connect, Jerboa… others.
Ultimately, I miss Relay, but is what it is. I don’t miss reddit.
MMO = Massively Multiplayer Online (game)
You do you. $3500 is hard to argue with. Other person is just jealous.
What’s your price? Mine is probably $750k base. I’m 100% serious.
3x base salary at least. No-thought commute, so maybe provide transportation for me. I currently live what is about 1.5hrs away each way now and there isn’t a public transportation option.
Commute time should count towards my “8 hour work day”. No distracting desk drive bys. Provided breakfast and lunch or an optional lunch stipend or whatever to cover if I go somewhere near the office.
Not sounding great for the company? It isn’t meant to. It would be nearly impossible to get me to go back to the office, as it should be.
I’m not being unreasonable. I am at least twice as productive since working from home and even simple internal reports can prove that. I’m also 2-3x happier and less stressed, nothing can really replace that.
I actually encountered an issue earlier today where my important wasn’t working…and it was because another dev had already added a more specific important.
I deleted their important.
You sound like me. I’m diagnosed autistic (mildly), I’m a software engineer, I’m introverted, I’m definitely liberal leaning, and…I live in Oregon.
For now, I love it here (except Portland proper). So many great restaurants, bars, breweries, wineries, and a crap ton of trails and other parks and sights and sounds.
I live semi-rural and half the businesses here have pride flags and BLM signage. I’m non-white, but don’t feel unsafe walking around where I am at night. My tech contract jobs are remote and I make more than enough to live comfortably.
It rains a lot here… though less so these days it seems. It’s weird how many 100+ degree days we get now, but it’s still a lot less than other people I know.
I’m rambling. If you want to know more, just ask.
Agreed!
SMS via 3rd party apps has and always will be buggy in some way, shape, or form, at least on Android. No clue why. Since the dawn of Android phones and after some 25-30 Android-specific phones owned in my life, I’ve yet to use a non stock SMS app that worked flawlessly all the time. Closest I’ve come, unfortunately, is Google Messages, and even that isn’t perfect.
My parents use Signal and are the most tech averse people I know, so it isn’t that hard. I converted all my friends to Signal. Switched wife to Signal.
SMS is maybe 3% of my usage these days and about 2% of that is just restaurant reservations or spam. There are two people I message via SMS like once a quarter and that’s it.
$20 one time for a well developed app that I use multiple hours a day is inexpensive.
I pay almost as much to multiple streaming services PER MONTH for a shitty experience and sometimes not a completely ad-free experience.
Anyway, in all honesty I chose the $1.99/mo because it gives the dev $24/yr into perpetuity. I also donate to instances. I also use Connect and Jerboa and Liftoff. It’s whatever.
Or for any major treatment or injuries you have to watch 6 ads first, if you bleed out before they’re done, so be it.
Brainfuck or Chef are pretty awesome.
Always Be Looking.
Honestly, early on, I wasn’t reliably finding them. But that lasted maybe 6 months?
If I have a 6mo contract for example, I’m still applying for a couple jobs every week. I’m keeping in touch with recruiters that don’t suck at their job and building rapport with them. I’m pinging prior coworkers and just seeing who/what they know is available.
Obviously, soft skills and resume matter too. I have enough buzzy technologies under my belt that it increases the breadth of jobs I can apply for, which helps.
Yeah, it was rough at first, but not like…I was destitute by any means. And now with enough of a network built up I’m relatively confident that even if shit hit the fan, I could find a job inside of 2 weeks.
If you’re in the US (or I guess anywhere?) - just make sure to account for taxes…
