  2. Just what in the actual fuck BMW? I keep looking back at it trying to find a single redeeming design feature, and I can't find a single one. It's like they tried to be deliberately incoherent and fugly.
  3. This. In the modern age, software is collecting hundreds if not thousands of resumes for each posting. No one is sending individual response letters any more. And quite likely 90% of the resumes never get looked at by a human. That said, I've also known a few cases where the software matched the resume to a new, totally different job posting over a year later, and flagged that resume as a hit. Unlikely, but hiring and finding a job is just a whole different world now. Leaving your resume hanging out there doesn't hurt.
  4. So much this. It's your work. This policy is fucking garbage.
  5. Actually, I don't even think you need a lidded pot. I seem to remember some BBQ shop smoking their tallow? Leroy maybe?
  6. The credit checks do hurt you, common advice is to get your new credit cards all at the same time, as the system counts multiple checks in a short period as one. Same advice for credit checks regarding mortgage/refi or on car financing - if you know you'll be getting a hard pull, then apply your new credit cards at the same time, so your credit score only gets hit by "one" check.
  7. If you have a lidded pot that you don't mind getting dirty on outside, just put it in your smoker to render with your cook! Holding 250-300 for hours is going to render your tallow perfectly, and no need for any indoor cooking or smell.
  8. This is what mine looked like when done. I also used induction cooker overnight. Do this outside if you can, or leave your fume hood on, it can smell pretty bad for a while if the oil fumes permeate your house.
  9. Hublot x Nespresso. Yes you read that correctly.
  10. Just an FYI, Amex Platinum gives you Walmart+ free, and Walmart+ includes Paramount+ streaming.
  11. Three Body Problem was notable for being sci-fi with a hard grounding in science. Great books. The Expanse also wasn't bad - it wasn't trying to be hard sci-fi, but it avoided glaring issues.
  12. Mine just has photos of pulled pork.
  13. What did the fox say?
  14. I'd hope not, it's one of the only "OG SWA" things they have left.
  15. Actually never. It's sort of the whole reason I put a portion in funds, I don't want to know what it's doing, what it holds, what the value is. I check back maybe twice a year just to see total account value. I rebalance if it's out of balance. And then I forget it exists.
  16. Thanks Marvel. Not only do you ass up the movies, now you ass up watches also: https://www.audemarspiguet.com/com/en/watch/apxmarvel-spider-man.html

  18. I'll take you there. You're welcome.
  19. Sigh. We joke, but there is some systematic error in the English language education here in Thailand between the R and L sounds. We've tested with many of our Thai staff, if you write it the "other" way and ask them to pronounce it, they generally get the sound correct. Hence you write Rays and they pronounce Lays, you write Lays they pronounce Rays. We have not identified where the root cause is; one theory is that many teachers here are Filipino, and we suspect some systemic reversal of the two sounds in the way those teachers are being taught, so the teachers are learning wrong and then teaching wrong, continuing to propagate the issue.
  20. *in *a
  21. They're the perfect key fob for Hyundai! https://www.thedrive.com/news/how-thieves-are-stealing-hyundais-and-kias-with-just-a-usb-cable
  22. Cool story? Speaker is a ceiling penetration and certainly can have water leak around it.
  23. Holy fuck instant divorce right there.
  24. Meh, he only shot him in the buttocks, seems a reasonable trade for the last Hot Pocket.
  25. Long ago I told my wife to stop doing mine because she kept fucking it up. Too much soap, gave my skin itchy red patches, wrong temperature, damages colors, dries them too long, shrinking them, then leaves them in the dryer, wrinkling them. That said, I never understood doing laundry every day. Do it when you have enough for a full load, otherwise you just waste power and water and your own time.
