As someone who has played a few hundred hours of the base civ6 game, I agree with the combat needing to be improved. The biggest flaw imo, is the AI makes terrible decisions. To overcome this, the harder difficulties give the AI a huge resource material advantage. This makes attacking early suicidal. Instead, the best strategy I have found is to turtle up until you unlock the bomber.

This bomber has a gigantic range. Forgot exactly what it is, but something like 15 tiles. Comboed with spies to give you vision of the enemy, and a few bombers utterly destroy everything. The solution to every problem becomes spies + bomber. The enemy close to getting a science victory? Put a spy in their city and bomb the spaceport. Going for a domination victory? Put a spy in their city and bomb all the units.

I have had a similar experience.

The article you link did not mention the employees saying running the editorial made them "feel unsafe". Neither the word safe nor unsafe appears in the article. It says the article "reportedly elicited strong objections" from the staff.

Silence is not the opposite of violence. Peace is the opposite of violence.

I interpret the quote "silence is violence" to mean by not speaking out against violence, you implicitly support or contribute to it. People may disagree if this is true, but it certainly doesn't feel Orwellian.

I believe Jeff Bezos has more power than AOC.

Coming from the east coast US, I didn't find the people snooty. They seemed friendlier than where I am from, I made way more friends here than I did back home. Back home you would get arrested for drinking beer in public, in sf you can have a beer in one hand, a joint in the other while playing kickball in golden gate park.

I liked the food a lot. I got giant, tasty, burritos in the mission for like $8. Of course you have to go to a side street, not something right on mission.

Didn't really go to bars so not sure about that.

To me the city is absolutely beautiful. Seeing the city from twin peaks, walking to the beach through golden gate park, or cycling across the golden gate bridge are all incredible experiences.

Tenderloin is trash though.

My good friend got a math degree and works retail.

Agreed. Facing layoffs at my current employer, have found it tough to land a new job. There is no "skills shortage", just a desire for cheap labor.

Simple problem to solve. Give them their 1000€ a month daily at 33€ a day. If they blow it all, they are hungry that day but eat the next. With a debit card it shouldn't be too hard.

I interviewed with one of the companies on that list a few years back (noredink). They gave a timed hackerrank style coding question as round one (so I guess technically not a whiteboard). I passed that, then I had an interview with an actual person.

He asked me vague question, like what is architecture, I started to reply with what design tradeoffs I made on the app I was working on. He literally laughed at me, and said that is not architecture. I was shocked that someone would laugh at a candidate but said ok, what does architecture mean to you? He responded, I ask the questions here not you. I immediately ended the interview. Worst interview I have ever had. Every time I see that company brought up, I think back to that experience.

Maybe I am just extremely dumb, but the "hard" questions are actually very hard for me. The medium questions sure.

I got a letter from my representative "thanks for allowing me to represent you...". Along with the letter came a package of seeds.

As has been pointed out here, the shortage is because of the AMA, not because of the visa situation.

The problem is there isn't always 2 sides to a story. Sometimes there is one, sometimes there are multiple. If one side says it is raining, one side says it is not, the journalist should stick their hand out the window, not report the two sides.

Software engineers don't rally to defend their coworker pedophiles. There is no thin binary line.
