Legal eagle on YouTube and nebula has a recent video on this very subject. Short form? It’s over.

Vote as if there weren’t two full sets of electors insulating you from the actual outcome.

Pretty slim pickings there, but I can’t especially disagree. The point of the question really was to allow the poster to explain a very specific implication they made.

What do non-trumpets but still privacy focused people in your circles use?

Things must be getting really bad if the president needs a second job…

Moved to pixel from HTC for the fast software updates. My next phone will likely be a pine phone or something similar; build quality on my last two pixels hasn’t exactly been up to snuff.

He must have just learned that men played women’s parts in the past and didn’t want to support all that “woke” stuff.

I built a kit car, painted a penguin on the side, and forgot to include the telemetry module. Oops.

I think I’ll travel somewhere else.

Jokes on them. They’ll get to watch a former mcse start the machine, play one specific game for a couple of hours, then reboot.

If you bow without rhythm you won’t attract the worm.

Not really, but since I’m not going to find any solutions here and people have it worse, I’ll leave it at that.

The least amount? 20k US would halve my credit card debt and give me a leg up on getting the rest paid off. 40k would give me a jump start on finally rebuilding. Given I’m in my 50s though and with the state of the world, I’m likely to be making credit card payments until the day I die.

And you’re an inflexible, unfeeling waste of cells. I hope for your sake you never have to deal with chronic health issues. Somehow, I don’t think you’ll be able to handle it.

How about this - your position is that a chemical burn from concrete cannot reach third degree? That it doesn’t happen fast enough to cause that damage?

Let me use your vernacular.

Bullshit. (Warning: NSFW)

I agree, see my other reply on this post. Assessments ARE sometimes necessary, however. In my field, we get a lot of self-taught software developers. I’ve had times where I think the candidate can do the job but can’t quite put a pin in it - but the team needs a warm seat. That’s when I pull out something stupid like FizzBuzz or a palindrome detector and ask them to pair program it with me, in the time span of the interview. If I have a choice, nobody will ever see a take-home assessment from me. I hated them when I was a junior, what kind of person would I be if I handed them out?

If you have a coherent rebuttal, I’m happy to listen. If not, Johns Hopkins has a good page on the subject.

Speaking as both a software developer and a sometime hiring manager or hiring consultant: Yes absolutely.

As a developer, if you give me something to " take home ", I expect to be paid an hourly rate for it. It doesn’t really matter if the work is going to be used thereafter or if it’s throw away. The employer gets valuable information, and I’ve spent time focused on their project to the exclusion of all else.

As a hiring manager or consultant, if I can’t get a handle on your skill set sufficient to justify the risk of a 90-day trial relationship (pretty common in the state I live in, here in the United States) within a one hour conversation, then I’ve done something wrong. Interviews I’ve led or otherwise been a part of don’t tend to last more than 15 or 20 minutes unless we really hit it off and start talking about 3d printing or something.

Note that everything I’m talking about refers to technical interviews. I don’t do the HR stuff.

Absolutely agreed. However, hiring managers need to deal with the employees on the market today. Should we simply stop hiring until the educational problems are solved? Could be a while.
