The name is actually on the back, but yeah, probably a good choice you don't have to look at it constantly

I wonder if they made more money from the $80 controller than the $40 game because of how cool the controller looked (in my opinion). I bought the controller knowing full well I had no intention of buying the game

I am Genuinely curious, but I thought they were all cartilage. Is thay what this is? I assumed it didn't look like that, but I don't know what I expected

I know it technically is a movie about superheroes, but I feel like Deadpool doesn't qualify as a standard "superhero movie"

I mean, he is almost 60? Probably just doesn't try to hide his age as much as some people.

I responded to a flyer on my college campus looking for new players for an upcoming D&D game. 5 years later I got married to the girl who posted that flyer. We're still playing with some of those same players today.

It does take more battery than just a blank screen, but it is kept extremely dim and automatically changes placement on the screen every so often so it doesn't burn in. Also, if it doesn't detect light (like if it were in your pocket) it turns off. I havent done the math, but i think playing a game on your phone for like 30 minutes would probably drain the battery a similar amount to a whole day if this display

I mean no offense, but the article says the victim told police the fight started when they poured water on the girls. I'm not saying the girls did or didn't deserve it, and I'm not condoning anyone's actions, but that sounds like a fight. Probably not a fair fight, but a fight.

But to be fair, the police also said the initial autopsy showed the fight and the death were "unrelated," which is suspicious at best, so who knows if we can trust what they say?

No joke, it's pronounced Kyle. It's the Greek letter chi, the dipthong æ which is called an æsc (pronounced ash) that makes a sound similar to the "a" in "cat" but shorter, and A-12 stands for "alphabet 12" or the 12th letter of the alphabet which is L. So chi-æ-l or kinda like a two syllable "Kyle"

I'm only 3.5 years post college, my advice might not be the most sage. I'd take whichever you think you'll enjoy most in the moment, and it sounds like the contract. You should ask them about possibilities for "contract to hire", though. A lot of places like to do that anyway. From my experience, the contract work will look better on a resume and help a lot more for finding a new job in 1-5 years, and your skills won't stagnate. I took some more stable jobs in my own career, but that's mostly because I think of coding strictly as a job and less of a hobby, and I'm happier with a stable paycheck, but a less challenging, engaging, and exciting job.

But if you're in a position where it is very important for you to have 100% of your income and a guarantee of work in 7 months, maybe take the more stable one. Like if you have kids or family that you're supporting. But if you're thrifty and good at interviewing (which it sounds like you are), sometimes contracts can actually be better financially in the long run, just more work. It really depends on the jobs and your attitudes towards them. But nothing is ever set in stone for your career path, as long as you can learn new things and show them off. If you decide on the financial group but are still worried, I'd recommend just having a side project your working on in a personal, non-work-affiliated github and just keep up on trends with that.

Yeah, it's still totally around, and pretty popular for very low budget meals. And here in the Midwest at least, spam over rice and spam sushi is associated with Hawaiian cuisine.
