Did they determine the cause of death of that cow? I would think any car that hit it would have received a lot of damage.

Because as far as I know, they only finished the immediate project that I was working on and didn’t continue doing any of the next things on the roadmap that were sorely needed. A fintech company that somehow assigned zero importance to their payments system.

I did this recently. They “replaced” me with two engineers after I had been begging for meaningful help for months.

US police (including border agents) are stealing things from citizens. It doesn’t matter if you have bank statements or receipts if you are dealing with someone who will just steal your shit and claim legal immunity.

Damn. I’m impressed. How often do you get disoriented moving around and thinking things are smaller than they are?

Colorado enshrined the right to abortion and removed anti-gay marriage language from their constitution.

Hello fellow Stumpt fan! Huge plus one to Stumpt

Probably not super unique but a glass breaker/seatbelt cutter. If I’m in an accident or I come upon one, I want that ability with me.

When my cat is hungry and I’m at my computer, she will put her front paws up on my chair and then gently tap my leg to ask “food plz”. She increases in frequency over time.

Save money into a retirement fund. Be consistent about contributing to it. Compound interest is very much your friend at this age

Pro-moted? What’s that?

Can I buy 100MM in gold?
