Wasn't ever in the software part but i still remember being shocked when a company asked me what I wanted for a salary, I said x, and they said they'd get back to me later on that day to confirm if they could do it. Got a call back 20 minutes later offering me 35% more than I asked for.

They knew I was probably scared to ask for more, and they needed people who weren't going to want to leave soon as they got a better offer. Turnover in some positions makes it near impossible to ever get a really good staff. Pay them right and you end up with a really good group fairly quickly. It isn't a constant "oh that guy who set that system up left 3 years ago and left no notes for any of how that was set up.". If you give them time as well, they create the documentation because they know if they don't have to touch if for 4 years, when they come back to it it'll kick cobwebs off.

I looked at a few, but the place I rent is about an acre (1.06 or so), and the building on the acre covers like none of it (like 960sqft lol) Toss in the drainage ditches by road and being in a constant flooding warning recently I figure I need to wait. I saw a cool one that said it MAYBE could do the hills if I mowed them short first, then just had it auto keep thrm short all the time. But that thing was about $3000 by the time I set up the solar charging station and what not. Ended up just getting a cheap lawnmower cause I didn't have the money to chance spending all of that and still not being able to get the lawn mowed. Also I figure I'd not realize it rained last night and the robot would go about it's schedule straight into the water in the drainage ditch or something.

Sure, but the dishes, laundry, and putting it away was a nice addition. Throw in a lawn and garden bot, and a I'll make dinner if your to busy bot.. and I wouldn't have to remember the chicken is infact still in the freezer 10 minutes before I intended to eat it, with a plan that originally included me making something that took an hour and a half.

ugh, fine make it a flip book and I'll commit

God I saw someone that was preaching about how people need to put in the work and not tru to get things the easy way. His occupation was in Crypto.

Yeah after we slaughtered them to near extinction, it sounds like they are making a good comeback. (Fur hats and anal gland perfume have different yearning these days)

Beavers built a dam in Alberta (850 meters) that is twice the length of the Hoover Dam. It isn't the technical marvel as the Hoover Dam, but one would have to be lying to say it's not impressive.

Extra info: we know it has existed since at least 1975, as it's visible in arial photographs. (Many from space).

So 50+ years for rodents maintaining a project seems pretty neat.

Her parents were the mad king and his sister wife Rhaella. Who bore 8 kids, 3 made it to "adults". The first being Rhaegar. The biological father of Jon Snow. Meaning the two main characters who were aunt/nephew, fucked and Jon's kids could have been his cousins if she had gotten pregnant

Her parents and grandparents were both siblings were they not? The only way she could have gotten more inbred was if she was a daughter of twins lol

"For House Targaryen, the ideal marriage was brother-to-sister, or failing that, marrying close kin such as cousins, uncles, or nieces. This practice preserved the "blood of the dragon," "

Imma say this meme hits the nail on the head there

Everyone has different purposes. Some are dabbing away urine, some are drying their selves after using a bidet, some are cleaning the walls after MAHA "fixed" our lettuce situation.

I don't know, I don't care for them much but they are the highest selling candy bar in the world, so someone must like them.
