I’m in IT. It’s the advice I wish I’d followed from the beginning.

Once you get comfortable in your job and it becomes routine, you need to find a new one. Keep growing your skill set, and probably take a hefty raise each time.

Don’t worry about being a job hopper - it resolves itself easily enough when you don’t find the next position for a while.

A lot of people have pretty well covered how to drive in snow and ice, but here’s a little secret they won’t tell you:

• Over the summer, the locals forgot how to drive on snow, too.

The first big snow will bring the car fairy to sprinkle wrecked cars along the side of the road. Most of these are given by people with plenty of experience driving on snow.

Stay home that first time. If you absolutely must drive, be the one going too slowly. After that, you can kind of do as the Romans do.

No idea what field you’re in, but of course you have to adjust it regularly. This year it’s brown m&Ms. Next year it’s a bowl of only yellow ones. The year after, it’s Skittles (no red ones). Kit Kats already split into individual bars. A bowl of Skittles mixed with corn flakes. Brown m&MS as decoy for people skimming for the clause, then later another one about 3 musketeers at the bar. I could come up with enough for an entire career without even leaving the candy realm.

It’s meant to be a very simple, but specific task that is easily performed by anyone that actually read and followed the instructions. It could be a bottle of Dr Pepper (as someone else mentioned), or wearing a yellow shirt upon arrival, or calling the lead “Chief”

I think that happens as soon as you start driving, and having to be somewhere on time (by driving)

You should probably know that strangling someone is a strong indicator of a future murder attempt. Far more than other forms of battery.

You definitely need to consider your own safety, and those around you

Sometimes. It was also frequently not connected to anything.

Ain’t no one approaching the T-800 to steal your wallet or anything. Curiosity, sure. But you don’t look at that and think “easy target”

Now, if I’ve done something specific to be a target, I’m not sure it would be an effective bodyguard.

I’m pretty sure they mean the Russian Reversal jokes, usually attributed to Yakov Smirnoff https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_Soviet_Russia

There’s a problem with your premise. NATO (much like the UN) is not a military force of its own. Rather, it’s an agreement between many nations, each with their own militaries. There is no NATO army. There is an agreement of the United States (with its army), the UK (with its army). Germany (with its army), etc.

Each of them could independently invade. They could even negotiate an agreement to invade. But that would have limited impact on NATO. The big thing would be that any invading country loses the agreed upon defenses of the rest.

You bring up a valid point. There are many facets of life and a left/right divide, and some of them did shift left.

But compared to the 50s (which is when many right wingers idolize), particularly starting with Reagan, we’ve seen:

1. Push for theocracy

2. The war on drugs

3. Less “society” and more individualism. This is especially true regarding regulation of harmful activities for profit, such as corporate pollution

4. Reduced enforcement of those laws that we do have, as long as it’s a corporate entity and/or for profit

5. Massive consolidation of all industries. Competition is now mostly an illusion.

6. Strong push against workers’ rights. Reduction in union protections, minimum wage laws, OSHA powers, etc

7. Active, planned takeover of media. This was started by (IIRC) Roger Ailes that if the right controlled the media, Nixon would not have been impeached. He went on to found Fox News with that philosophy, and proved it correct with Trump. See also: Sinclair

8. While this mostly happened at a state/local level, it has been nationwide. Government was intentionally ruined as an effective organization, and now provides way fewer/worse services

These are just a few ways that the country has shifted right, but they are so impactful to the average person’s daily life.

Their claim is that the country has been ruined by the left, and they want to restore it to its former glory. It requires ignoring the fact that the country has taken a hard right shift since the time they are idealizing.

As for the cognitive dissonance, Stephen Colbert (during The Colbert Report) played around with this self-contradiction. His book is titled “America Again: Re-becoming The Greatness We Never Weren’t”

TC’s video is specifically about North America, particularly the US. Here, we currently have 3 (well, 3.5) connectors. They are Chademo, j1772/CCS, and Tesla.

Chademo is already dead on new cars, and was never very widely adopted. Tesla is of course the connector used on most Teslas. J1772 (Level 1/2 AC) and CCS (Level 3 DC Fast) charging connectors are used on everything else. J1772 is electrically compatible with level 1/2 Tesla, requiring only dumb/passive adapters. CCS and Tesla supercharger is more difficult. This is the standard for almost all new EVs that aren’t Tesla.

BUT, there been a more recent development! The Tesla connector has been standardized as the North American Charging Standard (NACS). Most major manufacturers have already signed on.

Which means aside from a transition period with adapters, the future here is a clear standardization on NACS.

ETA: He also has a later video where he covers why that ends up being a good thing.

The term frequently means narrowly avoiding a bad outcome, regardless of how it happens. Often it’s nothing more than Mr Magoo-ing out of the way.

There are remarkably few people in the world who can actually dodge a literal bullet. Everything else is just luck or escaping.

Where do you have a liquor store open until 11? Most close at 9, and I’ve only ever seen a couple open until 10.

But he is the most recent one that isn’t current, which seems to track for a lot of the fan base.

Vegetarian can be cheaper, but isn’t a guarantee. If you are eating processed foods like single serving meals, the vegetarian options are often more expensive for the same quality.

Cooking yourself, from scratch, would save a lot more money. Plus it actually is cheaper to use veggies.

They are allowed to run, because there’s no law stopping them.

As for why they have a chance at winning, I don’t think I can answer that without significant bias.

Then why do you need to tolerate it better?

There’s something missing in this ask. If you don’t handle a food very well, you simply avoid/reduce it. Whether it’s caffeine, an allergy, or whatever.

Why do you need to change your body’s reaction? Why not just switch to decaf or other drinks?

It does if you have career progression and promotions in mind. Also if you’re looking for some new insights to shake things up.
