I imagine my mother was chucking any that looked off or more likely cutting off the parts that were bad and using the rest.

Main one is cucumbers, after my generous neighbors in my childhood gave us 2 large paper grocery bags of cucumbers and my mother used them in everything for the next month I was done for life, can’t stand them raw, but I will eat pickles all day.
The other would be raw tomatoes, the seed slime is not good for my autistic mouth
Kind of a niche answer, honestly me and my wife of 20+ years might still be “living in sin” if it wasn’t for her decision to join the military, in order for me to move with her to her home base, we had to be married. It allowed me to visit Alaska which was a great adventure, though I am glad that she is out and we are living normal lives since.
I am thanks to a combination of my learning how credit should actually be used and careful budgeting as well as an excellent choice to get into information technology. I can actually support my adult son as well as take care of his brother and my disabled wife and living what would’ve largely been considered middle class by their standard. At this point they were getting mortgage calls for juggling payments and spending wrecklessly while living in a double wide mobile home in the rural appalachias.
Similar happened to me as well, got sucker punched by my bully at the lockers in jr high, they tried to give me out of school suspension, which lasted for a day, my mom got me back in chewing out the principal
This news has me worried that Gaza will be the new camp for “undesirables” that we’re struggling to deport. I sure hope I am wrong.
Yep, they talked about it a bit during my hiring what I wanted my title to be since they are paid the same and do the same tasks(in addition to some coding expectations). I’m glad I chose architect, but ultimately they squeezed me out of that with RTO mandates for architects and above.
Seems to be a trend, my boss was telling me that the VP’s in our org think we need more lead devs and less solutions architects, though they would functionally be doing largely the same role, meetings, planning, design, interfacing with teams they are dependent on, annual technology reviews etc. I think it’s going to bite them in the end
Now you can slam the top of the machine to boot it up
Lincoln’s nice though I have found Omaha a little more affordable, same great purple people, same crappy state government
Armatrons were pretty neat but I can definitely imagine why functional ones are nigh impossible to obtain, I would imagine all the plastic gearing inside either chipped away by careless use and worn down over years
I know that, I was just refuting the claim that “your not going to make that kind of money in a flyover state”, it is possible, and you don’t have to work the big 5 here either, and the cost of living is way less.
I’m a software architect, though even when I was just a senior java developer I was making 130k, software pays well even in the fly overs.
I live in Nebraska, and all comp included make around 155k per year salary + bonus. You can make that kind of money even here in the “shit”
My favorite project was around 6 years ago when my former employer was looking to modernize the customer service automation experience with AI, it started with a round the US tour of going to the HQ’s of 4 big tech companies in the space(IBM, Microsoft, Amazon, Google at the time) as part of an investigatory team. We were to select what we thought would be the best engine to run conversational AI in our applications, during that time we were also given greenfield to write a modern framework apart from our existing technology to leverage it. Over the course of a year and a half we went from ideation to the creation of an omni-channel conversational framework that netted me and the team a patent, and allowed me to flex architecture skillset that lead me to my current role as a solution architect working with some of the same people at another better company. Definitely the most fun, exciting and rewarding project of mine to date.
The CenturyLink fiber plan is pretty nice, me and my brother in law are on it and it runs as advertised and I’ve had maybe 2 outages in the 3 years I’ve had it, unlike my previous provider where it would be like 1 per quarter
I think the origins of this was back at the inception of Android when the default keyboard didn’t have slide technology, so at that time I think it made reasonable sense that you could bring your own keyboard app, now that Gboard is full featured it probably wouldn’t hurt to lock it down, but it also depends on if every vendor doesn’t provide their own keyboard app that is horrible to use and sets that as the only keyboard option.
I am… The Law! It was great slightly cheesy fun. I enjoy both versions of dredd
In my experience if you have a toxic boss you clash with, and HR is unwilling to deal with the problem then they are complicit, which is a far too frequent scenario, if at all possible it sounds like a new job would be the best option for your mental health while you talk to a therapist about the situation to find coping tools in the meantime
