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…

About 75% of LED monitors give me a headache because I can see or “feel” then flickering. It sucks.

I had a coworker back in the in-office days who had these garbage-ass monitors and whenever I had to pair with him I’d end up with a debilitating headache.

I pay enough taxes to support 125 $750 users like this and would gladly pay it, too. 125 people that are better off would have a significant positive impact to a community, and I’m all for it.

Also money that they spend, somewhere at some point would likely be taxed.

Your logic is flawed.

Makes sense. I removed on FB from time to time and most of my posts get 20-30 engagements from close friends.

Anything pro-Palestine gets maybe 1, at best.

My Brother B&W laser printer is a beast. I’ve had it probably eight years now and am only, two months ago, on my 3rd toner cartridge despite my relatively low use. That counts the starter cartridge which I am told isn’t full.

My Brother color printer on the other hand is a pain. The yellow toner always runs out first and it won’t print without it. Well, it can, if you finagle things, but then it only does for like 3-4 weeks. Annoying as shit.

But, overall, better than any HP or Canon I’ve ever used.

I’m down if you’re near Portland, OR.

Went in with zero expectations and legitimately and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Liquid to drop on that or willing to drop that much? No.

But I’m willing to finance it granted the monthly cost isn’t outrageous.

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.

Correct. It’s documented.
