Is the no makeup look in girls same as applying a convolution filter / blurring filter?

@DhiruCodes Water

Stopped coffee as it messed up my bank balance and sleep 😂

Recently I've been observing some profiles with girl photos following me. Mostly to bait me into following them back? Looks more like a bot operation

@Yampeleg Why not 12.6? Is 12.1 the stable one?

OK, that’s what I’d call a good email from a total stranger.

[Dave Kennedy @HackingDave]

My son did something amazing today. He got the fake email "We've hacked your computer and spied on you doing bad stuff and browsing bad sites. Send us bitcoin and tell no-one. ".

His heart dropped, and his first instinct was to call me and tell me what happened and ask for help.

It was obviously fake, and he didn't do anything wrong, but my heart was filled that his first reaction was to call me and to tell me something happened and for me to help.

Communicate to your kids, I have emphasized multiple times with my kids that no matter what situation you are in, especially on cyber - let me know and the bad folks don't want a pissed off HackingDave Dad on them and I'm always there for them.

Just got this text as typing:

hot take but I don’t think ppl in their teens / early 20’s should care about saving money. You should reinvest it all into upskilling yourself. No ETF is going to give you a better return than the wealth you’ll create when you become highly skilled.

where to spend your money, instead of saving it:
- funding your startup
- learning: books, courses, tutors
- health: high quality food, gym, PT
- time: cleaners, uber, meal delivery, a home at a convenient location
- productivity: high quality chair, desk, monitors, laptop
- openai bills

@DhiruCodes @siddharthgopi Dude is calling me lazy in so many ways haha

Nah kidding, I wish to start soon

Contrary to hiding your profile when browsing someone's linkedin,
I think it is much better to allow them to know you stalked them.
It demonstrates interest in working with them.

@aprilwensel @ladyleet I was mean recently when I received the offer over call. They had asked my expected salary before the interview rounds, they agreed to the salary, then after the rounds gave me a lowball & below market rates offer along with many flip flops. I need to regulate my emotions better

@MrLucian_Hustle @armankhon @commitasync The site doesn’t find roles in compilers systems, the cloud roles are too old

[Viranchee @code_magician]

@armankhon @foretecher Example: Intel!

[Viranchee @code_magician]

@armankhon One more

I interviewed at this place where they ask my salary expectations first, agree to it

Grill me and give me a verbal offer

Then, low ball me at less than the expectations range
