From what I understand, asbestos is far worse. Fiberglass causes irritation but that's about it. Asbestos, while it takes its time, will eventually cause mesothelioma and you really don't want that.

I had a boss who was like this once. Every time someone would hire him as the VP of marketing for their company, he would immediately say they need to rebrand. But would he hire someone or some company to do the necessary research and create a brand based on market needs? No! Every single time he would go to some website where you post a design contest and have people submit entries for the new logo. No other thought went into it. Then the company would be stuck with a new but poorly thought out brand that would require loads of bandaid fixes for years to come. I only worked for him twice, but it was twice too many and this always made my blood boil.

The lesson here is, pay professionals appropriately who know what they're doing.

I just bought a 2024 Prius and as a short person I can attest that it's the best short-people car I've ever had. While it does suffer from most of the issues you would assume from not testing with shorter dummies, those issues don't really get in the way like they do in other cars. The seat and headrest feel great, the seatbelt is adjustable on the side so it won't cut into your neck, and it's very easy to get in and out of. 10/10 car for us short people.

I always put my ballot in a place that's better watched. It's not fool proof, but I feel like it's easier for people to mess with drop boxes and mail boxes that are out in the open vs dropping it off inside the post office or inside the polling place if there's a drop box there and election judges can watch them.

It says posted 18 years ago, but I'm pretty sure this predates YouTube even. Now I feel old... gross.

Yes, but you have to also remember that Corona beer sales went down during COVID. Says a lot about the panicky nature of a good chuck of people.

The first job I had was for a dinky little 15 person company. Obviously they didn't have loads of money and the way most corporate software contracts work is it's a lot cheaper for a period, like 1-2 years, and then the price increases. So they would jump ship before the price increase and use another product after that. So I ended up learning loads of different digital marketing platforms. I list them on my resume when I can, otherwise I just list the big ones and put something like "various digital marketing platforms". But thanks to all the magical algorithms that pick out what they need from all the entries, you pretty much have to have the exact platform they want on your resume in order for the bot to be satisfied. Some things I would understand, like if someone didn't know how to use key software for their field. But all the other stuff that gets tossed around should be considered "trainable" and not part of application requirements. Yet here we are...
