If I don’t like them it’s probably because it’s scented and makes my allergies go nuts 😟

And honestly, some of them do just translate (more or less). Like España vs Spain, pretty much any Spanish word that starts with es(consonant) drops the leading e when translated to English (estado, estudiante, and escuela for state, student, and school). We also don’t have the same o/a suffices. So that leaves spañ, except I don’t think any Spanish word ends with ñ (it makes a “ny” sound to bridge with the next letter, for those who don’t know) and Spain comes pretty darn close.

Not too mention that pronunciations and even alphabets are bound to change. Just how much do you want to stay authentic? Because if I start talking about عُمان (Google says that means Oman in Arabic, and looks about right from what I remember seeing on license plates there) I’m going to lose a lot of people.

To be fair, it’s USB-C and you might have better luck with that.

I only see this comment since the parent was deleted, but… OP did write “interpretters” in the title, which is incorrect, which is kind of ironic in the context of the post’s topic

Not anymore, it isn’t

And in two days, it will all be forgotten.

I mean, yeah unfortunately it probably will, but not because of the above

So why are you putting in so much effort into multiple posts about people in their early 20s having sex?

Age of consent pretty much universally refers to sex. Age of majority means you are no longer a minor (get it?) and with that comes adulthood and ability to enter into contracts

I mean…

Does that mean no driving cars or motorcycles until older than 21?

At least here in 'Merica, we can drive a couple years before reaching the age of majority (adulthood) so… Not necessarily

Not able to sign a lease to rent somewhere until 25?

Age of consent means consenting to sex. I guess if that’s how you’re paying for your lease, sure, but there are other laws about that in most places

Lol

I agree!

Christians see Jesus as kind of an honorary Christian, I suppose

I have lots of questions about this, but I think I can answer them all with this one: how high are you?

It’s a $100k fee, not a $100k minimum salary. Meaning it will be that much more expensive to employ them

What’s the best use of such a wide assortment of beans in one package?

If it counts, I encountered a Java file that, unbeknownst to me at the time, was duplicated across two different places. The project was essentially abandoned for years, and the file was one that didn’t change much so I left it alone for a year or so.

Eventually I had to add a method to it. Compiled just fine, runtime threw a no such method error. Turned out Eclipse was using one, but when Maven did its build it used the old duplicate I didn’t know existed.

Took me a while to find that one!

Especially when you consider that big rewards are not offered when detectives can figure things out pretty easily. The ante goes up with severity and difficulty. I’m sure there was a reward for Osama bin Laden, but I wasn’t not turning him in because the reward was too small or I didn’t believe I’d get paid. I just didn’t know where the dude was, let alone how I could get him turned in

Would it have killed them to say who, though?

Oh yeah, clicks.

Fuck that headline. It was the president of Portugal.

Choose a house with 1 extra room, courtesy of your WFH savings.

You’re not totally off-base there

An itemized cost paid straight by your employer will have the effect of encouraging them to waste less of your time with a commute.

When WFH is an option. Where it isn’t (eg, the sandwich dude)…

They might try to hire locally, might pay for moving expenses, might keep you out of rush hour traffic, might be worried about keeping you late such that now you’re driving on overtime, might actually align their concerns with the planet’s by reducing all the oil going literally up in flames to transport people around to do knowledge work in a cubicle.

I have a really hard time seeing this actually happening in practice, especially on low-level jobs. Or people who live with their family (of whom others work elsewhere). Or when you say “hire locally” I say “can’t get a damn job in my field because I don’t live nearby and moving would take my wife away from her job”

From a financial perspective, and IF one does make significantly more, I guess maybe.

From a relationship perspective, using my 2x 30 minute commutes for workplaces an hour apart example, if I had to take two additional hours out of my day away from home every work day, while my partner had to take 2 minutes… Woof. Even if there’s a perfectly logical financial reason that’s hard not to feel resentment over.

You’re talking about giant differences in location (cross-country) which, of course, would need some hard decisions to be made. I’m talking about realistic compromises that may have to be made between a couple with very different work locations in the same general area. When I talked about Lincoln vs Omaha, NE, those two cities are an hour apart. But could be a 30-minute commute in opposite directions for each. Maybe one person works in downtown Chicago, while the other works in the O’Hare airport. Maybe people work in two different boroughs of NYC. If the employer incentived an employee to live nearby, what about their family who works across town? Things crumble apart with that.
