If you're a UK company (it's doable but) it can be a pain holding your bank account in dollars (which you'd want to do if your main customers are in the US and if you're paying your employees in dollars). Last I…
Having had a mouse infestation at my cottage that took over a year to resolve, this would have been a great way to keep the critters out of and off the bedding during that time. I suspect for keeping guests and migrant…
For me it's really an intestinal gas issue that's forcing my stomach to compress, such that when I lay down, the acid makes way to my esophagus.
I have a wealth of experiential data on this, validated as recently as this previous July over a two week period. Like clockwork, if I take my Vit D supplement in the evening (like before bed), I will have almost zero…
Benadryl does nothing to me except kill my deep and REM sleep and leave me "sleeping" but conscious. I'm exhausted the next day. I only take cetrizine.
I have always had insomnia and have to maintain very good sleep hygiene. Here's a few things I have found that help me get to sleep: - No exercise after 18:30/6:30pm - Absolutely avoid Vitamin D and Vitamin B…
I was recruited directly out of a feeder school (University) for this company after focusing my undergrad course selection on operating system topics. Compared to twenty years ago, there are significantly fewer…

Metabolic syndrome isn't so simple. You can sugary calories in small doses throughout the day, lose weight (through caloric deficit), and still develop insulin resistance because your body is constantly saturated in…
Every new piece of paperwork that requires an additional face-to-face hand off or brings in a new entity provides another avenue for corruption to occur and a place for money to disappear. I've had employees (in Brazil)…

My understanding is that payment processors find themselves enforcing the Overton Window lest they run afoul of present legal trends. There's a sliding scale on what is or is not acceptable for them to be facilitating…
I'm curious what they're going to do, long term, about their use of PFAS (the alleged forever chemicals) in waterproofing. Apparently they've been trying to reduce usage or find alternatives, but the alternatives aren't…

Letting a tree grow to complete maturity is a gamble. Many of the US's classic native tree species are under incredible stress (or nearly wiped out) due to the rapid spread of parasites and disease, e.g., oak wilt,…
Just because they don't broadcast that they're doing it doesn't mean it's not happening. I think companies embrace moral relativism and attempt to stay within the Overton Window (or at most dabble near the edges). It's…
Impostor-syndrome is very very normal (I'm 20+ years in the industry and still have it), so rest assured you're not alone. What's most important is that despite negative self-talk you're able to learn the ropes at the…
We did quite extensive digging into the ToS and there was nothing explicitly forbidden about what he had done and they refused to point to any rule he had violated in particular. If they've updated it, it must have been…
Right, he still has access to his Google account, but he can't use YouTube from that account. In fact, he can't create a new account and login to YouTube from any of his devices. His only access to YouTube at this point…
My son (a curious juvenile) found his own YouTube account banned in a similar manner for disclosing a security issue in Google wifi products. There was no first or second warning (despite what the Terms of Service say).…
I'm not the OP but I'll describe a "behind the scenes" situation I dealt with. I inherited a team of seven working on a project. They were led by a very strong personality who led the project based on his principles (he…
