I bought them recently and returned them after one night. The battery didn't last even 2 hours and they kept disconnecting from my phone and turning off, but you can't just turn them back on, you have to take them out of your ear and put them into the case to turn them back on. So many design flaws IMO.

The Taycan has only been around a few years. Are these batteries that have been replaced or were the original cars tossed? I'm glad the batteries are getting additional use, I'm just afraid of how much other waste is being created. I know my boss leases a new Porsche every 3 years and it breaks my heart to think they aren't getting resold and are getting destroyed.

I'm the same. My mind is always churning. I'm getting evaluated for ADHD next week.

The map would be tough. If someone showed me the map and said, go to the kitchen, I would try remember, turn left then right then its around to the left. I would remember it in words, not visually.

Brown and pink dog...in my mind I see a hazy face of a poodle with fluffy pink ears. I can't see the full dog. I can't walk around the image and explore it more. Its just a hazy partial visual that flashes in my mind for a moment.

Be careful, I logged out for too long and forgot my password and they wanted a copy of my driver's license before letting me have access to my account.

One floor of my office building is a very well known gaming company. They've been remote since I started my job in 2021, but they have started coming into the office recently. I'd say 75% of the people I've seen get off at that floor have appeared to me to be LGBT+.

I dropped out 20 years ago and I've done alright but have grown into a management role and now it is very hard to move into other management roles without a degree. I am considering going back to school to finish it.

It was legal software called Needles. The firm didn't use email to communicate. They sent Needles messages. I quit after a week.

A degree can be earned slowly with a lot of outside assistance. A lot of jobs can't be handled like that.

We use an assessment that provides feedback on 12 metrics and the most important to me are logical problem solving, vocabulary and aggressiveness. I can have several applicants from the same school score wildly differently in those metrics, even if they all have the same degree.

What else should employers do if they have 100 applicants for a role? Interview every single person? We need to weed people out somehow. If you don't provide a cover letter, you're eliminated. If you don't take the assessment, you're eliminated. You're saving us time.

I've noticed a lot of people lately thinking that college is the hard part and if they get the right degree they will coast into a cushy, easy job. Truth is, being an employee is work and at best executives and owners get to coast on cushy jobs, so unless you manage to get a degree that instantly qualifies you for a CEO role, you're going to have to work your ass off to climb a ladder or build a business for yourself.

Seriously though, I'm an office administrator and your degree in administration is going to make you the meat in a shit sandwich. Everything that you hate about recruiting...don't be surprised if you end up being responsible for it. You'll have to conduct those 100 interviews, then hire and manage staff that have your same burnt out attitude. Your subordinates will bring you endless problems. But that's only half of it. You'll be also report up to executives who will push you to be callous and heartless, while somehow magically also increasing production and morale. Did your degree give you all the tools and skills you need to do that? Bro good luck.
