Just found this old photo of me holding a 10MB IBM mainframe hard drive. Was the size of a large desktop computer and weighed over 40lbs. Times have changed a little.

Wow. During the Iraq invasion, we rolled up on an abandoned 5-ton with a dozen or so wooden crates packed with these things. None of us knew what they were. The truck was disabled and we did not have any means to recover, so our 1stSgt gave us all a quick class on the thermite grenade.

Nice pic! I wish I still had mine. Our house got burned down and I have zero pics left like this.

Database for M&A precedents? Trying to look for a share purchase agreement from a 2021 acquisition. Didn’t find it on EDGAR. Is there anyway to make sure the document is not publicly available? How can I get access to this agreement?

Need a sanity check here.

When I joined my current company, we were on a quarterly bonus structure with guaranteed payouts each quarter. This was, in fact, how the recruiter said he could meet my salary request.

The company just announced we are moving to annual payouts only, with no payments for 2023 until May 2024. There are no raises happening.

This amounts to 12% less money in my pocket in 2023 plus inflation.

Is this standard, or should I be looking for opportunities elsewhere?
