For Seattle, my experience is that most of the people are there for tech work. Those folks could have been working anywhere from "just came to this city" or "have been working for 10+ years".
There's not that many tourists, the few ones that come visit mostly congregate in pike place and around the space needle.
The solo aspect is honestly really impressive. I've done my fair share of game dev and tried all sorts of roles. I am definitely not a jack of all trades though. I cannot for the life of me understand music. Last time I tried music, I made a 10s long audio that sounded mediocre and doesn't even loop properly.
The cat's face is a reference to Samuel Jackson, who notably says Motherfucker, hence reading M/F as that
Big tech in HCOL areas (Seattle, all of Cali, etc.) pay new grads about 100k to 150k base, with a hefty sign on bonus (anywhere from 20k to 50k). RSUs usually only vest about 5 to 10% of their total stock in the first year, but thats about 5k to 10k
Of course HCOL means this money is relatively less than it seems, but still a lot for new grads.
Oh hey I used to live near Sawtelle. Honestly the city department there is fucking terrible.
I parked there once using street parking when I was first looking for apartments and I got ticketed for being in a no parking zone when there wasn't a sign or a red line saying no parking.
Went to the city's office and despite photo evidence we still got denied an appeal.
Did no one else read the story? I read it and it sounds moreso the clinic's fault
The necklace he was wearing was a steel weighted exercise band, not a normal necklace. He's not flexing his wealth or anything
His wife told News 12 Long Island in a recorded interview that she was undergoing an MRI on her knee when she asked the technician to get her husband to help her get off the table. She said she called out to him.
Seems like the technician was told by the wife to bring her husband in to help her up. The technician/clinic made a mistake by letting in the husband, who didn't seem properly warned about MRIs no metal policy. The technician also somehow didn't catch the giant "necklace" he'd be wearing.
The "he wasn't supposed to be there" seems like a coverup for their mistake, since how else would he have known to go in? Someone must've told him to walk into the room, it's not like he could hear through the door.
Edit: 100% the technicians fault, the technician saw it. It even had a metal padlock.
They’d even discussed his training and the hard-to-miss chain with the MRI technician during their previous appointments, Jones-McAllister said.
“That was not the first time that guy has seen that chain” on her husband, she said. “They had a conversation about it before.”
Airlines and enshittification, what's new.
Happening right now with Southwest as well. In their infinite knowledge sw decided to remove what defined them: two free checked bags and cheap flights
Now there's a worse option called basic which has a shittier cancellation policy, no checked bags, and is more expensive than the previous budget tier
The thing the switch can do is play closed garden games because nintendo refuses to release their games anywhere outside of their own consoles
I guess you could use an emulator but thats not ideal for 95% of the population
Presenting male but identifying (mostly just not publicly out) as another gender
Usually a thing trans ppl do to avoid situations with family or because they live in a red state
Oh hey I ran into that issue, fixed it by blocking the element on ublock and spoofing my user agent
Edit: I put more details under nameisnotimportant's comment, I was about to head to bed so I didn't really provide details LOL
If you're going anywhere in the wilderness for an extended amount of time, it's best to have the person driving to bring a case of water in the trunk for this situation (and also first aid)
Ehh not exactly. Yes infant mortality would skew the data a bit, but modern medicine, along with modern agriculture has definitely increased the average life expectancy by a sizable portion.
Nowadays, people don't have to worry about food stockpiles and periods of shortages. Malnutrition was definitely a big issue back then. Especially with things like baby food being present, which was a big factor in reducing baby death rates
Modern medicine such as vaccines, surgeries, supplements, and even basic hygiene has made wonders for the average health of a person. Things that would normally kill a person, like bacteria infecting a wound, nowadays is mostly recoverable and minor.
If you look back even just a century, life expectancy was a lot lower than the present. https://www.statista.com/statistics/1040079/life-expectancy-united-states-all-time/
