No.

I used to find decent job opportunities on LinkedIn, but those days are gone. The platform has been swamped with floods of "click-to-apply" candidates, most of whom are not remotely qualified. This glut has forced companies to treat LinkedIn less as a serious hiring tool than as as a crude funnel for applications to be shoveled into automated filters. The result is predictable: the final applicant pool is noise, exaggerations outright lies. That doesn't mean LinkedIn is worthless but the way to use it has changed. Here is the effective approach:

- Go to LinkedIn and search for job postings.
- Identify positions that are a genuine fit for your skills and experience.
- DO NOT apply directly through LinkedIn. If the company's automated system rejects you there, it will almost certainly note the duplicate application and reject you again when you apply properly.
- Instead, go to the company's official website. Apply there with a carefully tailored resume and cover letter.

In other words, treat LinkedIn as a radar, not as a launchpad. Use it to find the targets, then go straight to the source if you want a real chance of being hired.

Higher screen to pocket ratio.

If he's racist does that no longer make him notable? This stinks of cancel culture. And Wikipedia isn't running out of bits, there's really no good reason to remove accurate information at all whether it was put there for selfish reasons or not.

My OCD hates that bloody crease.

I'm really sorry to hear that. We have had many interesting conversations over the years. I will miss you.

I totally committed to the free Dutch course and I liked it until I grew to hate it due to meaningless, endless repetition I perceived only as existing to up-sell the paid version to me. While DuoLingo states language learning is their mission and I appreciate their need to be profitable, (or become a non-profit), I canceled out of frustration due to wasting sooo much time and energy time on inanely repetitive lessons. The phrase, "een wafel is beter dan drie boterham", will trigger me due to said repetition and my desire for sanity and peace.

Google keeps putting AI summary before the search results. They are operating a deceptive business just to push AI slop onto people who don't want it.

They're limited but adequate. As for the cable, that's determined by the current, so it's about the same size as yours since the current is about the same. That does mean we get less watts, but that wattage is still sufficient.

You know come to think of it, I'm not really feeling the lack of power of the battery one. I can do the whole lawn easily on a single charge of the 6AH/18V battery, and the manufacturer claims 108 Wh, so I doubt it's pulling anywhere in the region of 900W which is the lower end for corded mowers anyway.

It probably saves a bit by being a brushless DC motor, and a lot when it's really not chewing through stuff fast, but even so, I have stalled it, but in those cases it's always on the verge of clogging anyway.

It's also the smallest one they sell. It's tiny and runs off a single drill battery. They make much bigger ones.

Weird that these gasoline enthusiasts can't tell the difference between rich and lean by sound and smell, but that's how it is.

I think most chest beating petrolheads are in love with the idea of being macho petrolhead men, much more than the practicalities of dealing with engines.

Why is it that there's a women-only thing and THAT'S OK?

Because it is?

What if there was a men's only dating app... would that be ok?

It's called "grindr" and I've been assured it's OK. If you want to create a men only dating app for straight men, well that's probably not going to work very well.

No. It is a security-aware stance. I get you are not able to see that. Makes you part of the problem. And we are heading for a cliff due to stupidity like yours.

Indeed. Will be funny so see what happens with "AI" agents. Because letting them do things with emails strikes me as a sure recipe for disaster.

no one is ascribing reasons to algorithms it's the result of the calculations which presents the reasoning we see, reasoning is a calculation

i can see you don't get this, I'd say your failing to calculate the data and have reasoned incorrectly

semantics and rhetoric, typical denial is what I see but you carry on pretending that these models don't present some form of reasoning

120V is plenty for a mower, because electric motors make peak torque at 0 rpm, so you don't have to worry about it bogging down and losing torque like a gas mower. We have plug-in mowers in the US and they work fine.

Fair enough. I'd assume they'd be a bit power limited and/or need a very thick cable.

actually yes, they are, social endeavors require cooperation, that's the point of society

you're denial is obvious, selfishness is based in greed and irresponsibility, some people just can't play well with others
