There are some court cases going on right now about this type of thing. Generally, the payback is only allowed to be for the real cost of training, and only for a few years. So that 60k salary for 3 years is also the right amount to make you worth 150k anywhere else.

90k sounds pretty standard for inexperienced (although maybe not first job) devs in general for most markets. Throw in factors like experience or skills in low supply and that changes pretty fast.
I know that COBOL isn't going away anytime soon, but most companies have seen the writing on the wall for a long time. Anywhere that COBOL can be replaced with something more modern, it's already underway. Some places even have a surplus of COBOL devs because of it. But there are countless places where it can't be replaced, at least not reasonably.
The only way a COBOL dev is making $90k after 5 years is if there are very specific fringe benefits that make them not want to move along, or they are extremely naive about the market.
Depending on details, the $5 / month can be well worth it for what options open up. The rotisserie chicken is $5 and significantly larger than the $8-10 chickens anywhere else. If you just get 2 of those per month you could come out ahead.
The challenge with Costco is that the options aren't always so similar. Sure, their price on Charmin is better than anywhere else, but is it cheaper than the Aldi brand? What about their organic vs cheap produce elsewhere? When I got a Costco membership, I did not save any money, but I have been getting better quality stuff. That said, I am not on a tight budget, so my shopping habits are different
This gets complicated. The small heater is almost certain to be resistive electric heat. Your central heat could be anything. In my area, the gas furnace is usually cheaper to run for the entire house than it is for a space heater in a single room.
OTOH, if you have a resistive electric furnace, your advice is spot on
Sounds like someone just invested their life savings into AI.
Each domain is run independently. Unfortunately, I have the worst luck in choosing them. The past 3 I've used have folded, and the one I'm on now (by an established operator) isn't reliable. Most endpoints fail to resolve the subdomain DNS, instead returning the parent IP.
You know how you need to test any backup solution? This is the same. Have anyone that you're expecting to do this run through the process entirely from your documentation. If they can't, adjust the doc/process until they can. Then include that with your will, or with other documents people will be looking through in the event of your death.
I'm sure that's part of the plan, but this counts as constructive dismissal in most jurisdictions. IOW, they are entitled to unemployment benefits.
The ones that simply find a better job are a different story. That's the Dead Sea Effect.
It's to make sure they didn't forget the card at home/in the car/etc, and not realize it until checkout
There's quite a wide range within those brands. Is it safe to say that you would consider Lexus or Acura to be at least pseudo luxury? What about their entry models that are just a rebranded version of the Honda/Toyota model?
Hell, how do we even define luxury? You can get heated leather seats in just about anything these days, and a few decades ago those were both ultra premium options.
Can your local mechanic even service EVs? The parts that are different, I mean. Obviously they can all do tires and the like.
Being in the US, the very presence of these homoglyphs should be a flag for any of my mail. I imagine that similar rules could be applied in most languages, especially once there's a decent sample size.
