Happy to be here! Politically speaking: I consider myself a Classic Liberal (JFK Liberal: “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.”) Constitutional conservative, fiscally moderate, socially liberal.

Senior dev working alone in an office, everybody is remote. Thinking of moving to PHX to be fully remote myself, currently in LA. Lower COL. Change to buy house. I like heat. Thoughts? Why? Why not?

Has anyone interviewed for IRS SBSE (small business self employment) in Southern California-Specifically San Bernardino and Orange County? I interviewed with them in end of October 2020 and has not heard back. I followed up with my interviewer. Interviewer said he has no idea on the timeline; if selected, HR personal will contact me. I went to the federal soup; it appears that someone from other cities have already got the offer. Wondering if I will get a “ not selected” email.

Newbie investor asked me a question, they have $5k to invest and were wondering if they should put it in an index fund (S&P500 - which is what I’d normally recommend plus DCA thereafter) or if they should buy AMZN given that it is well off of its highs, is a solid company and would, in 12-18 months, likely grow faster than the S&P, as interest rates normalize over that time period, etc. That got me thinking… so I’m asking all of you, what would you do/recommend?

Immigrant here who did not grow up with typing lessons. I still type very inefficiently — I have to look at keys when I type.
Has anyone used a typing program as an adult that has taught you well and got you out of old bad typing habits?
What was your pre-training speed, your post-training speed, and the time it took you to get there?

Thank you so much! I need to be more efficient and quiet when I type.

What would you say the most undervalued watch would be? (Based on quality)
At the entry level I’ve heard the Seiko Sarb033/035 are underrated. Just curious y’all’s thoughts

Work from home has been great for many reasons, but the confession part of this post is how much a loud, disorganized, chaotic environment raises my stress levels. I’ve realized that I can be so much more productive in a quiet home office. But I know some people like the “energy” of a corporate office.

Related question: Do any of you wear noise canceling headphones, and if so, does that work to increase productivity?

So after months of internal networking, I was finally able to secure a cloud computing (AWS) role within my company. I have CCP and SA(assc) and I am currently working towards my SA(pro). After about a year of working experience, I plan on testing the job market (I am seriously underpaid right now 😞). …Anyone in the group care to make any recommendations on what I should focus on in preparing for the future? Thanks in advance for your input.

The gall for Toto to tell Masi no safety car... Honestly thinks he owns F1?

Why do teachers (and people) move so quickly into personal attacks when others disagree? We teach our students not to do this. Why can't the adults behave in the way we teach others to?

Thoughts on the debate tonight, before or after it happens?

How do you feel that public schools excel?

The gaps are quite amazing. I was shocked by the comments I read from an Illinois teacher. Their words sounded so pig headed. All triggered by the word “conservative”.

When is the last time you had a conversation with someone you disagreed with cordially?

Want to have one now?

How do you feel about the federal government mandating all workers to get vaccinated?

Do you think that SGOs really make a difference in you as an educator and/or your students learning? Do you feel that they are a waste of time? Are they worth the effort? Do they make a difference?

Hello friends! Who knows what brought you here, but I'm curious as to what subjects you feel would be most helpful to bandy about.

What would encourage you? Stimulate thought? Elicit laughter?

Whatever it is, and whoever you are, you matter because you exist, and that value is innate. I'll always advocate for compassion over judgment.

Is cancel culture real? Do you feel it is an active presence at your school? Why or why not?

Thoughts on the final debate?

Now that we are getting “back to school”, what is one positive detail you have noticed about online/remote learning?

Is Covid finally becoming endemic? Most Omicron cases (according to my ER wife nurse) are very mild, and not worth the hospital visit. How will/should this impact us as educators?

Do you think Trump is to blame for coronavirus spread in the USA? Why or why not?

(no unsubstantiated claims, please).

What do you think:

Teachers should/should not discuss their opinions and ideas around sexuality, gender, and religion with students.
