whatever you do, just do not get anything with capacitive buttons. I used to run with Sony WF-1000XMW but if you sweat too hard or have a hood on that's wet with sweat or take your shirt or sweater off, it'll press on the capacitive buttons. I switched them for a cheap pair of Sony WF-C500 that have physical buttons and they work great

wow thanks random conservative on the Internet for providing the real truth to this even though the source says otherwise. those poor people should just shut the fuck up. it's for their own safety! fuck.. if they even tried to go to the rich parts, they'd probably get hurt! definitely should not let that happen... stupid poor people. we need walls! for poor people's protection!
most CS "textbooks" are a scam these days I'm general. a huge red flag when I scan resumes now is actually if they have a textbook published without some sort of advanced degree or qualification to write a textbook. I get resumes of people a year out of college, work a junior position, and have a "Advanced JavaScript" or "JavaScript the not boring way" or "Complete guide to typescript" or some other quirky textbook name. if you actually click into any of these books, they're complete nonsense written by somebody who just copied another textbook from another idiot who knew nothing. all these people are over confident resume padders. in practice they don't know shit and didn't legitimately write a lick of the book. I've had some of these applicants claim their books are used by professors too.
I think they mean something along the lines of good programmers aren't big head know-it-alls. they admit when they don't know something, ask for help, and collaborate as opposed to claiming to be an all knowing monolith software god. we've all met those guys at work.
the self-checkout machine audibly: put your ¡¡¡¡POTATOES!!!!! in the bagging area
like I said, your teachers failed you
oh and I got carried away with anger. East Coast is the only place I've had landlords require invasive proof of income. I even had a place that required me to provide a schedule of when I'd be working from home since they don't allow people who spend too much time in the apartment to rent since utilities are covered. full time, in person employment only. in fucking sane.
I'm from CA and moved to the East Coast and can tell you the rental process here is insanely bad regardless of what people from here will tell you. CA has inherently less tenant protections in leases than a lot of places here, that's a fact. your security deposit is probably less safe there. as a normal renter that has a mostly stable life and keeps a nice living area though, it's completely useless. in fact, I prefer it.
here, both NY and MA, brokers here are not outlawed and not culturally taboo here. listen to this as a Californian and tell me how this isn't completely criminal: in NY and MA, you usually need to find a broker. pay them ONE MONTH RENT and all they do is forward you the documents to sign and send emails to the landlord. in California, a lot of these rental practices are just non existent if not illegal. people here will tell you that brokers are great because they can just find a place for you with less work. which is just entitlement. also when you move out, you MUST let brokers show your place. that means they CHANGE YOUR LOCKS and EVERY broker will have a key and free reign to show your apartment whenever theyd like. I'd give all my tenants protections just to not deal with that.
holy shit, so that's what that sound is?!
i know you look back about this and think of it fondly, but as someone who has worked extensively in pedagogy, your teacher sucked and failed you lol first of all, your teachers job as a PE teacher is to instill values of an active lifestyle. PE literally exists for a reason. ideally you try a lot of things out and maybe get a hobby, but also to learn about a general lifestyle of good health. that's why sexual health, mental health, etc are often part of PE programs in the US.
now, I'm not saying your PE teacher was a bad person. I'm sure they had a lot of empathy and knew your struggle. however, that's like saying your math teacher let you play chess instead of teaching you math. sounds great, but at the end of the day, it's a huge failing on the part of your educator. they ideally should've helped with the issues that kept you from enjoying PE and not let you off with an easy ride. you may not know it, but there could be a host of things you don't know about your own body or collaboration skills because you were playing chess instead of organized sports during PE. that's a huge, exaggerated stretch, but not unheard of. I just read an article about a couple who couldn't conceive for 10 years because they didn't know how to have sex. as weird it is to realize, most in the US learn this from PE. just an example.
if you're looking for a legit READING app, KOReader is the only way to go. especially if you have an ereader tablet too that uses KOReader too and/or use Calibre. I moved to it from Kindle + Kindle app on Android and I just have no idea what the purpose of Kindle is anymore unless you buy ebooks directly from Amazon. in which case you should... well.... stop.
I'm also on this boat also. moved here from the West Coast and feel completely scammed here in Boston. it's actually insane too because most of the people here have bought into the completely corrupt politics that have caused the housing market to get to this place. if you ask people here, most will say they prefer Boston housing because of "tenant protections" and that brokers provide an essential service in such an impacted housing market. those guys are fuckin donkeys. the Boston housing market exists on the backs of students who cycle through apartments at a huge rate every year, and the broker industry makes a killing abusing poor college students into paying brokers fees when they move every year. every industry involved in the Boston housing market is in cahoots with this system. they're all criminals in my view. that on top of the fact a broker came into my apartment without permission to show my apartment and walked into my bathroom while I was showering. I was full nude and the dude waved at me and proceeded to show my bathroom to his clients on clients with me naked in the bathroom. criminals.
