Hi, websitetasker

beezneez  ·  2206 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Time to talk about why so many postgrads have poor mental health

There is an un-natural pressure on new grads to perform above their pedigree. And as newly-graduated degreed people enter the job market, there is even pressure on food industry workers to be certified and (officially) educated in their line of work. I find this troubling.

Steve,

I met you at a Boulder meetup and it was fun. Surprised you're now along a coastal city but good for you. Similar story here. Please keep in touch as I am active on here again.

We need a new sticker, fam.

Best of luck!

Yep. I threw a few hundred at it, and now I'm sitting on 5k worth of encrypted money. Arg.

I mean, it wasn't a brag but I did grow up lower-middle class. It's good to have a frame of reference.

beezneez  ·  2856 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: The new debt slaves

I'm lucky to the extent that my student loan debt does not exceed my gross annual salary. I'm unlucky in the sense that the daily interest rate equates to buying a pack of cigarettes every day.

Just don't forget your ETH password like I did.

I love this, two years later.

The man probably gets audited every year. I think the whole tax returns thing is a red herring. Clinton's speeches, however, are a little bit more worrying.

beezneez  ·  2898 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Mitt Romney Says Donald Trump Has To Release His Tax Returns : NPR

He's being audited, and that won't happen until perhaps next year. Am I wrong?

I used to think the same way until I saw the King of Limbs From The Basement

Yeah, where can we donate again? I've got to get down on that.

(p.s. they can itemize it as a business expense)

IT'S HAPPENING. Dropbox is just a ui layer over AWS anyways.

Horrid, frothing bubble

That graph has got me chills.

beezneez  ·  2930 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Deeply Moving Message from Bernie Sanders - YouTube

Raspy voice. Socialistic tendencies. Hoovervilles. I can't relate, honestly. I'm on the upper end of the economic scale. Can anyone tell me why the apparentness of the wealth divide in the US leads to dignity?

I bet he had some great things to say about the Scots and Irish /s

I'm giddy and have been eagerly watching for updates on this since the story broke.

Personally, I loved this aspect of their naive chatbot: it was effectively able to blend an awful simulacrum of millennials and shitposting twitter people.

Unfortunately time spent 'reading' now includes time spent in front of a screen.

I just deleted my facebook after having the account for 9 years. This just looks like esoteric Ruby to me.

I wonder how they really deduced that.

beezneez  ·  3028 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: What are your favourite crockpot recipes?

I can vouch for it. Anything under 5 hours won't curdle dairy in a crockpot, but it's enough to cook the noodles.

beezneez  ·  3028 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: What are your favourite crockpot recipes?

Lasagna! It works ridiculously well in a crock pot. Found a link to a recipe here.

I also frequently make chicken broth with mine. Simply throw in a carcass, a chopped onion, and water then let cook for 24 hours on low.

My nose crinkles at the thought.
