This is quite applicable to many situations I‘ve witnessed. I‘ve also witnessed the exact opposite. I.e. managers blame themselves to avoid making hard decisions with employees. It would be great to have this article and another article which addresses „hard decisions“ in order to help managers navigate ambiguous situations.

I've always been satisfied with my grocery-bought olive oil, but also curious as to what "good" olive oil actually tastes like. Is there a brand or vendor in the US that sells such a product?

You may consider looking into industrial / manufacturing positions, even if only temporary. These firms have a desperate need for technically minded people, and often apply programing principles in their engineering processes or physical automation systems. The problem has been so long standing, many don't even advertise for these types of roles anymore and instead pay headhunters' finders fees or have in-house training programs. Walking into their building and inquiring if your skill set could be useful is not at all a bad approach.

Either way, they certainly pay better than retail.

Best of luck, friend; I hope you're able to turn this challenge into an opportunity

This!

They will be more work. They do have the budget. They will negotiate, hard.

Think of your highest price, then add 15%. It will be ok.

If they don’t buy, it wasn’t because of price if you’ve already made it this far.

Hey,

I'm sorry, this sounds really tough and those words probably don't do it justice.

Prayer, which is distinctly different from meditation has been helpful to me. I'm not an expert on any matters pertinent to mental health or spirituality for that matter--but if you just want to talk, DM me here: @awicz

This is sound advice.

I don't think this deserved to be down voted. While I can appreciate the idea that innovation drives advancement...I have the same honest question.

Asked another way: are there any current fringe use cases for residential users to make use of this kind of bandwidth?

*edit: ugh. Sorry, replied to the wrong comment.

This is such a refreshing comment. It's far better to engage in dialogue with those whom you disagree in order to understand their position opposed to assuming they are evil, stupid, or otherwise sub-human. Wouldn't it be wonderful if such an approach was applied not only to religious conversations but those of politics, work disputes, conflicts with your significant other...everything?

I've been using Brave. I like it because it's not Google, but cannot comment on what's under the hood.

This is wonderful advice. I went on a news hiatus some time ago and can attest to its benefit.

Many, many hours of my life were lost to to C&C. It’s a fine game.

Wow. That is an interesting model! Do you know how they determine how the funds are distributed?

Serious question about torrents: How is this not stealing? I'm not trying to be judgemental. I certainly don't have any room to do so as I used Napster and the likes back in the day. Now with the advent of Amazon Prime, Hulu, Netflix, etc, I'm genuinely curious to know the moral argument for using services and platforms that utilize torrents to distribute media other creators are actually trying to sell?

Edit: Apparently this question has upset a good number of people. It was a genuine inquiry. It would have been nice to see your thoughts in written form instead of the downvotes.

To those that did answer--thanks! Really incredible how complicated the licensing arrangements are across the world.
