I really like the way my current company handles things. Aside from annual raises that take effect July 1st (currently waiting for approval, but if that happens after July 1st the raises are retroactive to the first), we have open bars (free drinks) every other month, company wide lunch events a few times a month, other general events (had a Juneteenth and Pride event this month). Oh, and all these events are paid time (you still have to hit your KPIs though).

A fairly well stocked kitchen (you could make your own lunch if you wanted to), coffee and espresso machines, sparkling water / flavored water one as well, snacks, the whole deal. Yes it's not perfect but I've been happy so far.

DDG is suggesting it because it has no custom rules setup to sanitized indexed URLs. Most likely it just means the first link to the article their crawler found has the referral tag in it.

But the plot thickens.

On Bing if I search "TechRadar shufliada" I see a few similar results, including other websites with the same site in the URL.

If I go to the website I find in their about page it says:

The goal of "Shufliada" is simple: to make the Ukrainian language more visible on the Internet/Google search.

Which while it could be innocent, almost suggests they're intentionally backlinking popular websites in hopes their link to it is what gets indexed. IMO the blame doesn't lie with either DDG nor TechRadar.

The book is a book of poetry called Xanax Cowboy.

Source: I found this which includes the original Twitter post. From there it was pretty straightforward, their website is here, the about page mentions their first book which is just their Twitter handle.

You're a victim of identity theft. You should start here: https://www.usa.gov/identity-theft

Or those scummy click bait ads disguised as related articles? They make my blood boil with how they prey on the vulnerable.

The comment calling spez a pig was originally a solution to a problem, hence the person replying in positively. The comment was edited by a script when the user left Reddit, so the solution no longer is there, depriving those who may be looking.

Disagreed. If it requires a server side element, it incurs an ongoing cost and a subscription can be justified. And to clarify, by "requires", I'm referring to the functionality, not having it shoveled in. And the price should be realistic.

Some apps do this well, Sleep for Android is an example that comes to mind. Free with ads, ad-free is an inexpensive one time purchase. You can also purchase additional plugin apps that add functionality that isn't required or even useful for most people. And finally, they have a cloud plugin app to let you backup your data, you can pay for their cloud subscription which is $2.99 a year, but you can also just use other cloud for storage like Google drive.

Most guns don't really wear out in a reasonable timeframe. Properly maintained they can last quite a while. My first gun was from the 80s.

For gun owners in the U.S. if we no longer want a gun, don't want to go through the hassle of selling it, or the gun is unsafe (due to wear and tear or defects), or wherever reason really if we just want to get rid of it we have many options.

We can surrender a gun to our local police, though they may run its serial which might lead to awkward situations if you aren't certain of its history. There are also gun buybacks which are essentially events where you can discard a gun for cash incentive, and are typically no questions asked. You could also donate it to a local gunsmith for practice. And finally, you could render it inoperable (the ATF has guidelines that basically boil down to "weld the important stuff") and simply discard it like trash, use it as decoration, or whatever really.

Ultimately they either end up melted down, welded inoperable, or simply discard / forgotten.

I think it's a joke for the people who pay into those 6-month software engineering bootcamps.

Brave has been off limits for me ever since I saw my QAnon nutjob father using it lol.

I'm an agnostic theist, I believe in the possibility of god(s) or god-like entities.

There is a quote I resonate with by Marcus Aurelius:

Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones. I am not afraid.
