Yeah, I did something along those lines.

I was working for a small telecom/managed services company. I was making about $50k/year on salary as a network engineer and I was working on getting my CCNP Route/Switch certification. The company got bought out by a much larger telecom that was fucking terrible to work for back in 2015. The CCNP Route/Switch cert required that you pass 3 exams at the time. I had passed 1, the company got bought out, then I passed the 2nd. By that time I was hating the new company so much that I just tried the 3rd a week later without studying and failed. Then I tried again a week later and passed.

I was looking at average salaries for network engineers with CCNPs and it ranged from 80k to $110k, depending on experience and the company and all that. I asked for a raise to $100k and they gave me $55k. I was gone within 30 days at a new job that paid me $35/hour as a contractor, which was $72k without including overtime. I think I ended up making just above $90k in the next 12 months with overtime.

One incident, and thats because they were all already there and he was on stage egging them on.
With his fat ass gone and back away from society like he should be, they won't and haven't done anything. They need him right there with them or they don't do s*** but run their mouths on FB and Parler

I don't think it's fair to say this is "just one incident." We've seen:
  • The Michigan state capitol stormed
  • An foiled plot to kidnap and kill Michigan's governor
  • A state house republican in Oregon letting rioters into the Oregon state capitol building
It's also fair to say that some conservatives have been itching for another civil war ever since they lost the first one.

No, it's very much relevant because the unlikely conviction would allow the senate to vote to bar Trump from holding office again.

Which hill? The little one at the annoying ass intersection right next to Crown?

Smfh if it wasn't for the pandemic I would probably be there every week.
One that I can recall is south of the 360 bridge. I remember there being ice on the roads over there maybe about 7 years ago or so. Tons of cars were stuck. I was trying to go to lunch, but I just decided to turn around because so many cars were facing in random directions and struggling to get up that hill.

Can I buy a stock, sell it the same or next day, and then use those funds right away to buy another stock?

Yes. It would be considered a day trade and you would have to pay the short term capital gains tax on that sale when you file your taxes. Day trading is very risky, though, and doesn't often turn out well.

Hcmc fuckin lit brahs

22k gain from hcmc today
Fuck yeah

I had to go down to 2.276 million shares of it, but I'm still doing really well this. When I put my last order in for 900,000 shares, it went through in pieces and some of the shares went in at a higher price than I was expecting. It put me in margin debt, so I sold some off and sold some other stocks that I didn't care about to cover the margin.

When conservatives complain about "cancel culture," they're really just demanding a society in which they can say whatever bullshit they want to say and not experience any repercussions. No matter if it's wild conspiracy theories, racism, etc., they want people and companies to just deal with their bullshit ad nauseum.

But if Starbucks makes a red cup during the holidays that doesn't say "Merry Christmas?" Catastrophe! Boycott Starbucks!

Wait, what? Ive only seen Naruto up to the middle of the Pain arc, stopped watching years ago. And from what snippets I've seen with all this newer material, it seems as if they're just a carbon copy of the original Naruto? All the kids look the same as the original characters and now theres a retrieval arc of a friend? Isn't that the exact same thing as to what happened to Sasuke or am I mistaken?

The kids don't all look exactly the same. Some of them look like a mixture of their parents while others have a strong resemblance to one or the other.

Or, y'know, you could just walk over there and change it.

Yeah, but that's not always an option, nor is it the most convenient method. If I'm at work and I realize I left my a/c or heat on, I can just turn it off from my phone. If I wake up in the middle of the night and I want to change the temperature, I can just say "Hey Google, set the temperature to X" and it'll set the thermostat. If I'm in the middle of working on something critical for work, I can set my thermostat without having to stop and go over to the thermostat.

The irony is that there's nothing smart about smart devices. They're essentially guaranteed to be riddled with problems compared to a "dumb" version. Imagine one day when you can't use your toaster because it couldn't do a online verification test or some stupid s***. Sometimes I really hate where the future is heading.

What? Smart devices are generally indeed smart. Smart devices generally have functionality that creates a more convenient user experience that non-smart devices don't have.

Batteries that die. Dont always respond even though wifi is flawless.

Never had issues with old school thermostats, ever. They set the temperature.

My Nest thermostat has a battery that recharges itself from the HVAC wiring. I've had the same Nest thermostat for almost 4 years now and haven't had to change any batteries on it. I also haven't had a problem with the responsiveness of my nest thermostat. I can control it from my phone or with my voice through my Google Home devices and it responds promptly.

I can also control my thermostat from my phone anywhere I have a data connection.

Goddamn that blows, and I'm in the same position as well. Cashing in to avoid a crash loss while being subject to 10-20% gains taxes is so f***ed.

Still, though, if you're paying taxes on gains, that means you made money you wouldn't have had otherwise.
