Well, he doesn’t need a many as he used to…

My Gen Z son says these are Alphas and he doesn’t want to be associated with them.

I suppose that depends on your point of view.

Turning office space into living space is often mentioned in discussions like this. It should be noted that converting the space is not as easy as it seems. In particular, moving the plumbing infrastructure to support individual bathrooms and kitchens is extremely challenging and it makes some projects impracticable.

Of course, he may not realize that this dries up one of the largest sources of the Unity developers the clients he does care about uses.

I do, too, but it’s out of duty and I’ll stop when other people pick up the slack.

significantly worse than other cities like Atlanta Philly and Baltimore

Wait. Atlanta resident here. There are cities worse than us?

LinkedIn is feeling like abandonware.

The whiny bitches to whom you refer clearly do not appreciate your analysis.

There has almost certainly already been a chilling effect from similar laws in Florida. Teachers cannot take chances: If they are fired for cause, they often have to move to another state to remain employable in their profession.

You know that account you set up 6 years ago and used only as a verification email for a site you almost never go to? Won’t you be surprised next time you need to reset your password.
