Not OP but I run a business and handle the majority of interviews and hiring. I set up the beginning of my interviews just like OP does. If someone doesn't have social media, I honestly think it is a bonus. I barely touch my own LinkedIn... I'd also much rather an application come through our website then an ad. I feel like those who apply directly have a better understanding already of what the job will entail. If a candidate makes it through the first few interviews, we invite them out to observe and then participate in the role (to see what they think and how they like it). I can usually tell by then if they will be a good fit. It's been nice because occasionally a candidate will decide right then it's not for them and save us both a lot of time.

Hades & BotW were like that for me.

Thanks for that information. I did not even think about saying it out loud but that makes sense.

While I agree eating healthy and cutting down inflammation is extremely beneficial, your statement seems to be undermining and not contributing in a meaningful manner. I don't think you are doing so in bad faith. I'm guessing you are trying to help but the way it comes off is not being well received because it's general advice that isn't pertinent to the observation OP is making. Again, I think your advice is solid in the general sense but the way it was stated may come off as condescending.

For example, when I was a college athlete I was extremely fit and eating healthy (and yeah, I felt great) but I had an allergic reaction on my epidermis and had to go on a steroid treatment.

Holy moly I felt like a god (just like OP is stating). I would regularly lift and exercise but when I was on the steroid treatment, it was another level of energy and strength. I can understand the OPs surprise and can relate to his observation that he is sharing as it is an interesting experience (especially the first time).

I've been looking into buy a dash cam but I'm always shocked at how bad the picture quality are on them. Which do you recommend? Would love a decent non-smart dash cam.

This.

It infuriates me when people just stop on a side road or in a parking lot lane with no indicators.

On a side street (barely two lanes but street parking is allowed) I frequent, people will just slow down and come to a stop without any indicators. I stay behind them and eventually they will roll their window down and wave me by, but they could have just indicated they are pulling off but staying on the road with a blinker...

Just today I was waiting to reverse out of a parking spot and a person just stopped in the lane 10 ft away. I waited for a minute because I wasn't sure what they were doing. They eventually got out and opened the boot of their vehicle and after another minute of that I eventually reversed and pulled away. They should have put on their hazards from the beginning... Very frustrating.

My friends and I are trying to. I'm having a heck of a time getting the server going though. Do you know of any good guides? Everything I'm seeing is from years ago and when I follow the guides i keep encountering errors.

My dad has been liberal ever since I could remember. I grew up on over 13 acres with a backstop for shooting. People are typically surprised when they find out I have firearms and am a good shot. I've been encouraging those around me to start training and getting familiar with firearms.

Maybe it's a combination effort? I run pihole but I tell my friends (who aren't 'techy') when best buy has a good deal. Having the 2 forms of suggestion (ads and word of mouth) may give them a boost.

One of those good deals is a 2-year controller coverage (+$10). If a controller gets stick drift (or any other damage including user-inflicted), you can exchange it at no cost if you paid the extra $10. I know stick drift and defects are typically covered under the manufacturer's warranty but that can be a pain. I sent an elite series 2 controller in 5 times and it was never truly fixed.

With best buys paid extended coverage, I've turned in dualsense controller twice now (I'm on my third currently) for a total of $75 USD.

I'm not sure what you mean by 'personal agenda.' I'm legitimately trying to have a productive conversation so please don't take anything said as a personal affront. We're just trying to express the importance of herd immunity as it stands from expert consensus on the subject.

If you have any studies on herd immunity not being as important, I would love to read through them.

I understand why you trust your advisor. I'm lucky enough to be friends with someone who was a professor of infectious disease, has a PhD in virology and created a vaccine. They are my go to for anything on the subject matter. Again, anything you can share on the topic is greatly appreciated.

They shouldn't have made a personal attack like that, but they're not wrong. Herd immunity is needed. Individual vaccination, while helpful, isn't fool proof. Especially for highly infectious diseases like measles.
