"The goat man will get you."
Used as a warning when doing something careless that would invite predators. My great-grandma came to the US from the Czech Republic and told the story of a man who raised goats and would steal children and break into homes at night. It was a reminder to lock your doors and valuables, and to never walk alone in shady neighborhoods.
I wish I could remember how to say it in Czech. It began with "Kuzubah".
I've been using the same anime/manga torrenting site since the mid 2000s and I can't believe it's still up. Gonna be a sad day when it finally closes down.
I used to do this, but Verizon gave me a Flip 5 for $500 less than Samsung was offering and I got a free tablet with it. I needed to switch off of Google Fi anyway because they didn't have service at my job site.
I also got a million spam calls after applying for a mortgage with a trusted bank a couple years ago. I suspect that the banks sell your information to mortgage brokers. I'd be curious to see the privacy policy on the form you submitted.
Worth noting that all modern failures have been GE models or ancient Westinghouse models. Modern nuclear reactors built by Westinghouse are virtually immune from meltdown, and Westinghouse is the lead player in new builds. Nuclear safety has come miles since the like of Fukushima, and especially 3 Mile Island. I'd feel perfectly safe living near a new Westinghouse nuclear plant.
Gen Z struggles with file systems in general, because the vast majority of their technical experience is on mobile OS's. However, Gen Z compsci students are somehow far beyond the skill set that millennials had at their age. Or at least that has been my experience with interns over the past 12 years.
I live in an apartment and just charge it once a week for 30 min while I do my grocery shopping. Ezpz. I've been doing this for 3 years and have never had a problem.
I work in IT. My favorite part is focusing on a difficult problem that no one else can solve, and fixing it. My nickname at work is "the tank" because they can point me at any issue and I'll fix it. I'll also toss in the paycheck. I had a recruiter tell me 2 years ago that my skill set isn't even worth $65k and now I'm making more than double that.
My least favorite part is the occasional late nights. Worked a 20 hour shift the other day for a particularly difficult major issue. This happens maybe twice a year. I'm at an age where it takes a toll.
I've run into this a few times. If the culture and benefits are good but we can't level on pay, I let them know that I can't accept the offer but I refer them to a colleague with less experience for whom the pay would be appropriate. After over a decade in leadership I've had many employees, and I'm always looking out for ways they can step up the ladder. We've gotta have each other's back in this job market.
These jobs are all pushing 6 figures tho. Not sure what kind of job would try to push 36k on a professional position.
I've never used Twitter, but I've heard that it's just a porn site nowadays. Is that accurate?
I just double my HDDs and put them in RAID1. Not foolproof against data loss, but I wouldn't be heartbroken if I lost my Plex library. For important docs I add a cloud backup.
