so if you apply for both and the question is asked "why you do that?", say you would accept either, but have a professional/rising star-sounding reason why you would prefer part time in your back pocket.

Yeah, that a good idea. I could say I want free time to finish my bachelor's degree online. I'll have to come up with some degree that doesn't make them think I'd be leaving for some other job.

How many watts do you get from that?

Sound Blaster cards had a game port, but the Game Blaster didn't?

Woke up with the Baywatch theme song in my head. I listened to on on YouTube trying to exorcise that demon, but it's honestly kind of a banger song.

I'm reading "Careless People" that book written by a former high level Meta employee.

There's a passage where she and a bunch of execs are playing Settlers of Catan with Zuck and she realizes everyone is trying to help him win. She calls them out, and Zuck can't see it because he's treated like that all the time.

Reminds me of that Twilight Zone episode where a little boy is basically a despotic god, so everyone has to treat him like a special little boy because they're afraid of him having a tantrum and destroying the world.

If they still have the ability to do this, from what I can find, nobody has figured out the method they use.

The microdot thing OP is referring to was only in a small number of high end copiers considered to be suitable for counterfeiting.

I'm not saying it isn't possible they'd have something, but you can't guard against something when you have no idea how it would work.

Plus great medical, dental and a pension. Being a chief, he almost certainly gets a nice take-home vehicle, with maintenance and gas paid for.

I've been thinking about this lately.

Trump being so open about imperialism will make it easier to convince people that the US war machine is about profits, but it also makes it easier to convince them that imperialism is necessary to maintain their economic privilege. It's easier for people to be against something bad when they don't think they're getting any benefit from it.

I don't think those minerals will benefit anyone but the ruling class, but your average American could be easily convinced they will.

My thermostat is usually at 60, I'll bump it to 62 if I'm feeling particularly cold. It's actually not that bad. You get used to wearing a lot of clothes indoors and your body adapts.

I figure if people are living outdoors in below freezing temps, I can manage to survive at double that.

I googled this because I was curious, and it doesn't look like they have a blanket ban on people with autism. It seems they only exclude people who need expensive care.

(Not defending this policy, ofc. Just trying to get the facts right)

https://www.immigration.govt.nz/opsmanual/#46506.htm

Severe developmental disorders or severe cognitive impairments where significant support is required, including but not exclusive to:
... autistic spectrum disorders

I would of course check with an immigration lawyer before committing to a plan to move, though.
