Just leave the laptop on during winter??

The surrounding cold winds would reduce or negate any potential harm from leaving the laptop on and it wouldn't be cold enough to hurt a laptop in a sleeve/cover.

Also, this would also affect electronics transitioning from a cool/dry room to a hot/humid outside area. Such as going from cold hotel room overnight to the blazing hot outside in asia in the summer.

Not only does AI have no chance of threatening my job security, it makes my job easier the better it gets.

A larger task that usually takes me 3 hours I can shave off 2 with chatgpt. A task that takes me 1 hour, it can perform instantly. It can do 80% of a project for me with high rate of success but it can't do the last 20% - but neither can 99% of the ppl in my industry do it either.

I also asked chatgpt how long it'd take to take over my job:

"With your extensive experience across "insert my field", it would take a while for me to match the depth of your real-world knowledge and decision-making skills. However, I'm already here to assist with tasks like data analysis, generating reports, drafting documents, and providing insights, which can make your work more efficient. While I can handle many technical aspects, the nuanced judgment, leadership, and human connection inherent to your roles are unique to you and require a human touch that I'm not designed to replicate fully."

I then asked it to estimate how long it'd take to do 80% of my job: Chatgpt said maybe 5-10 years.

Can't wait.

While yes, grinding is good in moderation in their 20s, it also ends up creating harmful "grinding" habits later on in life, especially at corporate jobs where your future and promotions aren't based off of the "actual" grind.

That said, it doesn't mean they shouldn't be "grinding" in other aspects of their lives such as learning and honing their skills to grind that 2-year promotion by jumping around companies.

I'm an avid believer of only putting 50% in my day to day, and to only put in 100% when SHTF and have consistently proved my worth.

True, but from my point of view OP won because he was able to see through the aholes true plans causing the ahole to only get the crumbs of a much larger piece of the pie at the end.

To us and others it may seem to be a large sum, but to him it was definitely only a pittance of what he intended to take.

With ads overpopulating the internet and everywhere we look on our streets its good to be able to mentally sort through the junk instantly and to pay no attention to it. I think of it as mental training/fortitude to be able to recognize the "scam" they're selling and to be able to overlook it and move on without a second thought - McDonald's will never look like how they do in their ads.

Reminds me of a marketing class I took in uni and how marketing is everywhere, it's one of the few practical courses that I can apply concepts to every ad I watch.

On the otherhand, there are some more "interesting" ads such as free screeners from ads on ig in my area that I have attended and were actually pretty good and definitely worth it.

There's also technical ways of blocking those ads. So no, youtube premium isn't worth it.

imo if you with your experience is already questioning these issues after 1.5 weeks it stands to show that this company, without a vast overhaul, seems to be the issue instead of you, as an individual.

It doesn't seem like a high-risk career move if you were able to substantiate your claims to recruiters/hiring managers/whoever in the event that they were to discover this inconsistency in your resume.

Could you explain in further detail?

I have a friend who is in a similar situation. 10 years ago he was being charged $2500 for a line from a major street to his place last year he got another quote and they're asking for $15k. He's just using cell data right now as its simply cheaper than dishing out 15k for a line and then having to be locked into a $150-$250/month internet plan.

I've noticed a lot of them are on new accounts as well.

Depends what you can spend it on. DNA tests, like 23andme will help figure out what problems you might be having in the future, but you can also figure that out from having a detailed history of your relatives and then focus on those problems. A detailed full body physical, blood work, would be useful too.

A good first aid kit, such as a trauma kit, and not those BS ones, but the ones that actual ems uses, but with less stuff. There are medical go-bags on reddit, just buy the individual pieces. Aliexpress currently sells a really good copy of raptor shears for $20 that are originally $80 rn.

It would be difficult to prove obstruction of justice. The parameters for a prosecutor to charge needs to prove that the person knowingly and willingly deleted the evidence while he was being investigated. If its an app that automatically scans and deletes stuff its neither willingly or knowingly destroying evidence. Also, it's only 6 months and a misdemeanor instead of a potential whatever you were charged with.

It would be even more difficult if it were a full factory + disk rewrite/wipe or possible burnout? since certain android build factory resets still saves some data on there if someone were to make an app for it.

The vaccines came out early November, approved by the end of the November, select doctors/nurses at hospitals in December. EMTs in LA, riverside, OC are "planning" to get their first shots in January. The general population outside of the first 20 million are not getting their doses until well into the summer I presume.
