As a former permastuff allergy sufferer, I can’t recommend enough trying out triamcinolone (nasacort). I had tried nasal sprays in the 90s and early 2000s without any luck. About 5 or so years ago, my allergist recommend I give it a try again as a lot of formulas have come around since then and could work for me now. I couldn’t believe it, no more permastuffed and there’s smells everywhere. Learned that I love the smell of star jasmine flowers.

For me, a puff in each nostril in the morning and another puff as needed when blowing my nose doesn’t suffice (which is rare) has turned this perma-stuffed allergy sufferer into a not-perma-stuffed person.

I hate myself for this.

Battlegate Univactica?

I’ve noticed that some of the best enuciators are people that have a lisp and have obviously either taken speech classes or have self taught themselves how to overcome their lisp with better enuciation.

Who’s the one bullying and gatekeeping here?

I’m not a camera nerd either, but I recognize that there’s people that need professional hardware either for a professional use or an obsessive hobby (either photog or other electronics or optics work). If a cell phone is “good enough” for me, that doesn’t mean it’s good for a specialist. Just like pretty much everything else in life.

The only reason I have a frednica is because that’s where I chill and hang out with the Fediverse Chick.

This could be a non-profit funded by participants and government grants.

Have I been Poe’d?

I see you’ve never heard of salaried non-exempt.

Which is, grosely oversimplified, a guaranteed 40 hours of pay with an hourly rate attached for overtime pay.

Complains about something being racist and uses racist term.

It’s amazing the difference a union makes for customer satisfaction isn’t it?

Note: USPS & UPS are both unionized.

That’s why winget has --silent. I wish silent was the default instead of interactive however.

There is no objectivity in taste. Coffee drinking is a spectrum of preferences from flavor profiles delivered by growing, bean blending and roasting practices to acidity, particulate matter, strength, caffeine content, additives (milk/sugar/etc), and other subjectivity.

I personally don’t enjoy most cold brews, or cold coffee in general, as cold coffee tends to allow more fruity flavors come through, which I do not enjoy at all in my coffee experience.

I however, would not turn down a cold brew if that’s all that’s available. I mean, hell, I’ll drink a cup of black from a rundown diner that’s brewed from folgers and been sitting on a hot plate for 30+ minutes. And if that’s somebody’s favorite cup of coffee, I’m not gonna judge them and tell them their coffee is inferior.

Nah, just don’t allow stocks to be used as collateral. If you want to use that theoretical money you must sell that stock, pay progressive capital gains tax, and then have the cash in your account.

Seattle? Sounds like Seattle.

The big problem with modernization of gig work by these companies is that they’re screwing of the gig workers by inserting themselves in the middle and fucking over everybody else involved.

For example: Town car services existed for years before Uber came to the scene. Before Uber you’d have to call a town car service that may be a single person operation, or a small group of people getting together and hiring a calling service.

The idea of the modern, centralized, gig services is not a terrible idea in itself. But running that as a capitalist business is terrible. This is one of those things that should be required to be a government service or a non-profit.

Your anecdotes != data.

I live in the USA. I use the process I’ve described on my resume. I’ve also just landed a new job and started within the last month. When sending out resumes on my latest job search I had a 90% response rate, all for jobs I’d actually like to work at. The job I accepted was after the recruiter that reviewed my resume reached out to me to tell me the role I applied for had been filled but that they had another role that I’d be a fit for in the process of being written and wanted to get the ball rolling so I could be at the front of the interview process for it.

I’d say it’s “standard” because people were poorly trained on what to put on their resumes starting in high school and even college. I even used the “standard” before and struggled to land interviews early in my career. It wasn’t until about 15 years ago that I did a deep dive into resume writing and job searching techniques that I completely overhauled my resume and started actually getting call-backs/emails and interviews that would eventually wind up in landing jobs that I actually wanted.

Just because something is “standard” doesn’t mean it’s what we should be doing, or is the right way. The job market has changed over the years and ATSs reviewing resumes meant that people had to figure out how to get past those systems 20 years ago. As LLMs have been added to ATSs it’s only gotten harder to get past the initial gate with a resume drop.

A Kagi search for “resume accomplishments vs duties” will give you a plethora of sources discussing this from job seekers, HR professionals, recruiters, and even some university research.
