I bought a "pour over" coffee maker for busy mornings and I love it. It even has a bloom feature that pauses the pour a bit before resuming. I was skeptical, but I did need a new machine, and it makes a better coffee than any other automated method I've had.

Personally I pay for Kagi which has been decent enough

Whats "decent enough" mean? I've been curious and you're the only person I've known who pays for it.

Let's keep this in mind with the current events happening in the Middle East and Ukraine.

Many. And oil companies overthrow governments, too.

Read "Confessions of a Corporate Hitman."

I worked there for about a decade. It's a poor description of the company. It's like calling Microsoft a Database Giant. Yes, they make MS SQL, yes they're known for that, but is that the best description of their work? No.

When I left, Accenture had 400k employees. My friends who work there still saw this article and had the same take I did.

Yes.

IT consulting. They take jobs in contract. They built Healthcare.gov (poorly) on the first round.

Worked for them. The "biometrics" moniker is not accurate.

I have a 73 Porsche 914, it's my second. I've had two 1970 Monte Carlos. Both vastly different vehicles, but both are extremely visceral cars. You're extremely connected to the road and the vehicle.

There seems to be an abstraction layer with Teslas.

Renting one is a great idea.

As a manager of a security team at a tech firm, that's idiotic and you were tasked with something difficult. Vocalize your issues, show them your efforts, and ask for guidance.

If you don't get help, start looking. It'll be a hassle, but but you'll be better off.

Interesting take. Thanks.

Do you think that embarrassment of the purchase, ignorance of what's good, or status prevent more buyers from talking about that? As a person who enjoys the act of driving (though not the experience of driving in this city), I should see if I can get behind the wheel of one and attempt to be objective.

Your Stage 2 is likely by design. If he ruins it, his cronies can form a new RNC, or try and do away with it entirely.
