Comment on What's something that you missed out on? in ~talk

I still talk to the friends I had before but they all moved home or to New York, basically, and I have zero desire to move to either place. I guess I still got a semi-normal graduation, though (it was like ~6 weeks after the first Covid vaccine became readily available here). The only thing is our “college” graduations were still weird and only a few people on a tiny stage for the photo op even though we had the university-wide commencement with all ~10k of us and our families a couple days later.

Comment on US landlords want to be paid for pandemic losses and hope to reach a deal with the Donald Trump administration in ~finance
kari Link ParentI kind of get that but I also think that's pretty unfair to say when the cost of buying a home as so so so so rapidly outpaced the rise of income.That doesn't seem well thought out... wouldn't it punish those who saved up to buy, and reward those who spent it all?

kari Link ParentHey, you knew it was Sesame Street :p Weirdly enough, I only saw that for the first time a couple months ago because someone online somewhere linked it and mentioned it giving them nightmares...Hey, you knew it was Sesame Street :p

kari (edited )Link ParentWow, he was not lying when he said it gets gory. E: Also the ending with the "next time" just sounded like a Top Gear intro :)Wow, he was not lying when he said it gets gory.

I have this fever-dream memory of a sketch on Sesame Street in which one of the puppets left a tap on and a poor fish ran out of water in its fishbowl.

Comment on What are your go-to meals that you cook? in ~food
kari Link ParentI’m glad someone else does! I’ve told a couple of my friends about it and they thought it sounded crazy but like, beans are so cheap and healthy (and delicious)!I’m glad someone else does!

It’s basically just regular homemade ground beef tacos but with black beans for a healthier option.
Sautee some onions, and a can of drained and rinsed black beans, and some taco seasoning (can buy it premade for cheap), and then just cook that a while. We also try get the “carb sense” tortillas from the grocery store for extra fiber. They taste almost as good as regular tortillas (but not quite, admittedly), but with 9g of fiber each. -

Comment on What is watts, volts and amps? in ~science
kari (edited )Link ParentHey, we’re 120V. There’s also Japan where it’s 100V and, depending whether you’re east or west of Tokyo, can have different frequencies (50Hz in half the country, 60Hz in the other half)The wall outlet is generally 230V (or 110V if you're in the US)

kari LinkPower is energy over time and, like @derekiscool said, 1 W = 1 J/s, so it’s just inherently there. Horsepower is also a measure of power, equal to 745.7 W or 745.7 J/s, but you probably never...the Watt is never written with respect to time, why is that?

I also found all of these boards a while back:
- https://nodesk.co/remote-jobs/
- https://www.workingnomads.com/jobs
- https://remotive.com/
- https://weworkremotely.com/
- https://www.flexjobs.com/
- https://github.com/yanirs/established-remote
Some of them seemed better than others, at least for the positions I was interested in, but I figured I'd share.
I think @Narry's advice about using recruiting firms is probably the best, though. That's what my mom kept telling me to do when I was looking and I kind of ignored her, but it ended up meaning I applied to ~140 jobs, got interviews for ~10, and got 1 offer. The offer was definitely my favorite of the interviews, so it worked out, but definitely pretty rough just applying without someone actually looking and helping you.
I haven’t watched yet but
Definitely explains some stuff to me! My girlfriend recently got a hybrid Camry and I was amazed at how efficient it is on the highway compared to on local, short drives.
