You could look at it as a currency conversion, then buying a product with that new currency.

Yes, that's how money laundering works. Whether it's crypto, gold, or fine art, the end result is still the same. You get drugs, they get clean cash, everyone is happy.

Are you really "buying" something with crypto in that case, or is it just a complicated money laundering scheme?

Conveniently timed just as contract negotiations are coming up.

Small yet essential tip:

If you're one of the last 5 left after 50 or 100 of your coworkers have been laid off, take the hint and move on. The company is circling the bowl. You will be left with nothing when they go under, as the execs cash out what's left of the company and creditors take the rest. Even if the company is sold and the new company seems to take you on, usually the leftover people will be laid off once knowledge transfer is complete. Don't think that you have any specialized knowledge that they can't afford to let go...new execs generally don't care about that, they only look at the bottom line. Someone cheaper can and will do your job.

I stopped watching in season 5, because the story started getting weird and it lost it's charm from earlier seasons.

Specifically, Android 13. Not even the latest version.

Cut him some slack. Life is difficult when your mom names you Biddle.

I turned down a job.

It was 2003. I had been working as a programmer in legacy language on an ancient AS/400 system for a year and a half. I had interviewed with another company, working in VB6 which wasn't great but at least it had some growth. But the pay was only slightly above what I was already making, and I wasn't keen on VB6 when the web was taking off. I thought I could do better. Fast forward to the bust of 2004, and I'm being laid off from that legacy programming job.

I spend a year applying to every development job I can find, but it's difficult with a glut of programmers all looking for work. I finally take a tech support job just to get by as I continue looking for a dev job. Little did I know that dev job would never come. I bounced from a few different jobs after that, most being some form of tech support and usually ending in layoffs. I spent 16 years trying to get another dev job before I finally gave up and left IT work altogether. I had to eventually face the fact that my development career died in 2004, all because I turned down a job.

They also thought we wouldn't understand how Switch could be a woman in the matrix but a man in the real world. So they just made the character a butch woman because apparently that's easier somehow. So many little changes like this were made.

I'm pretty sure "seeding" the cow has nothing to do with food. They don't just produce milk for no reason...

I cannot confirm or deny whether your father was a serial killer, all I can say is that he probably just didn't want to look like a nerd or Elton John.
