Most employers will only ever answer the question of whether or not you were ever employed there. Beyond that, they risk being sued by former employees.

I’ve struggled with this line of thinking, myself. Sure, you’re taking their money, which is a plus, but you’re also encouraging the things that make them so disagreeable to begin with. Do the ends justify the means?

"Authorities believe an osprey, a fish-eating bird of prey, was flying overhead when it dropped its catch midflight.

“The fish struck power lines, producing sparks that ignited dry grass below, triggering the fire.”

I have worn Levi for forever, and you aren’t wrong. They used to be great, but for many years now, they’ve been garbage. I gotta find a better brand.

I mean, they seem to have that last part down.

He was the new, not-a-war-fabricating-criminal American president. That’s it. It shouldn’t be enough imho, but nobody claimed that what I think matters here. Lots of people had renewed hope and optimism, including the Swedish governing body over the Nobel Prizes, based on his not being Bush. Eight years later, that hope and optimism didn’t pay out the way people anticipated, so I personally would suggest that the committee spoke too soon on the topic. But I do remember the peace I felt with that hope and optimism, so there’s that, I suppose. And watching the proto-MAGAs in my office lose their mind at the actions of an independent, private, Swedish organization’s actions as though they deserved a say in the matter was entertaining.

I admit, it wasn’t on my 2025 bingo card, either.

One of the most astute comments I’ve ever read.

“It’s one banana, Michael. What could it cost? Ten dollars?”

If anyone is asking, I’ll be offering $300/hr software development services to fix AI generated code.

I tried out Firefox on my phone a year or two ago. I had a number of issues, including accessing secure pages for work. I have little doubt that it wasn’t Firefox at fault so much as it was narrow testing by website developers, but the end result was problems for me regardless of who was at fault, so I switched back to Chrome.

I haven’t seen it, but I think it’s pretty apparent in the trailer. Superman is supermaning, and modern powers, both real and fictional, don’t like that.

That seems like a very bad sign. Someone wanted a message to get out to the public, but I’m not entirely sure what can be effectively done about it. Credit to the person with the balls to send out the warning, though.
