Corporate America is operating on the Car Dealership model: there are enough rubes to fleece it’s not worth the effort to get quality customers/employees.

I wish these strikes would normalize talking about your salary in the US.

It’s such a huge source of power employers have over workers heads. People always say “research what equivalent roles get when negotiating” but the data that’s out there is crap. Companies work hard to obfuscate what they pay people.

Yeah -_- if any of the alternatives had been as low VOC as Odie’s I probably would have used them instead… But in this case, since it was indoor with kids I didn’t really want something fumey.

Gotcha, good to know! Id worry about the epoxy adhering, but good to know it works.

Agree. The number of people I know who “don’t” cook blows my mind. 75% of my repertoire takes less than 30 minutes of involvement to cook. It’s cheaper, healthier, and a great zen thing that’s totally different from my day job.

For those trying to get started, do a meal kit that involves cooking, and start there. Not having to buy ingredients or plan things out makes it less intimidating.

How do you combo it with epoxy? I’m curious.

Tilley FTW.

I live in the desert, they are common even if unfashionable lol.

This.

I live in NM, so there are wild Neomexicanus hops (the Amalia and Multihead are that variety) but they are all up in the mountains. In the city, there are not really any male plants around.

Only issue is local nurseries sell ornamental hops that might be male… But thankfully my neighbors hopyard is all female varieties for home brewing.

Hot and dry lol. They have to be irrigated.

I wish Apple was transparent enough to have a real comparison of their privacy.

Personal guess, Apple is generating just as much personal data, just using it less offensively than Google. That’s not good but it’s betterish, I guess.

Main things I’m stuck using Google for at the moment are Gmail and Maps. Gmail, because my address I’ve had over there since Gmail was invite only. Maps, because they are one of the only decent sources for restraunt reviews these days (why did Zomato have to kill UrbanSpoon :( )
