There’s still plenty of recruiters asking me about jobs which I have zero interest in so I’d say the article is accurate.

TIL nobody lives on Staten Island.

Guess it’s all vampires.

Whoever wrote that needs to hire a proofreader. Spelling and grammar mistakes all over the place.

I supplement team-based task management with post it notes on my monitor for the things I'm working on short term. Usually the Jira ticket number or a couple words about what needs done is enough, and putting it where I can't not see it keeps them from falling through the cracks.

Plus it's fun when my boss gives me something and I can show him the post it I made

Maybe people in Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Manhattan hate him, but Staten Island, Long Island, and upstate NY are Trump country

I also don’t have to switch between 10 different apps to watch different shows/movies.

I paid for annual subscriptions for a couple streaming services, and get some when I buy other things from companies, but I still pirate the shows on those services and put them in Plex because everything is in one place

Semi-Hemi-Demigod , 1 year ago to nostupidquestions in Why are there so many expensive homes?

It’s pretty simple: The cost to make the structure of a house is pretty much the same for luxury or basic models: Framing, electrical, foundation, etc.

But if you throw in some cheap granite countertops, a fancy tub, and up-market flooring suddenly it’s a luxury house and you can charge twice as much, despite it not costing nearly twice as much to build.

Same thing goes for cars: A luxury car just has different fabric and some badges, but they charge way more than a comparable econobox because it’s “luxury.”

Semi-Hemi-Demigod , 1 year ago to nostupidquestions in Why are there so many expensive homes?

The profit margin per square foot on a large "luxury" housing unit is a lot higher than on a smaller, cheaper unit. Plus you won't get people upset that you're eroding the price of their homes by building cheaper ones, so NIMBYs won't stop you.
