In my experience this is typically either completely untrue (a tired old trick), or if it is true, this is a company/situation that is not worth pursuing.
But for a 70k raise (even considering the location change) to be a legitimate option, you are probably either grossly underpaid right now...
There are actually a few different phenomena at play here.
One is the relationship between system utilization and average response time (approximates latency) from basic queueing theory. Exponential and asymptotically approaching infinity as system utilization reaches 100%. Even for...
I was born in the Bay Area (San Jose), lived in West LA for college / grad school, and moved back to the Bay Area for work. I have no frame of reference regarding living outside high COL areas, but I've done so as both a poor young student, and now, reasonably compensated professional...
For those who spend money on a regular basis, what's a typical ballpark average amount? I'm talking about ordinary expenses like lunch, coffee, transportation, etc.
What you want to do is very simple.
1) Connect cable modem to wireless router wan port (this doesn't need to be directly through a patch cable, you can go through junction boxes, etc, you could even go through a switch so long as only those devices can talk to each other on that l2 segment (ie...
All currently supported cable modems are DOCSIS compliant. Even from the earliest DOCSIS 1.X standards life is very easy for the consumer. The ISP is responsible for pushing all configuration and updates from their end. All you need to do is plug it in, and make sure the ISP knows what model...
Make sure you're not comparing the 2014 forester to the pre 2014 (last generation one). The interior of the new cars is much better (not to mention the fuel economy). Mazda cx-5 is now available with a 2.5L engine, so comments about it being underpowered are somewhat unfounded now. Those two...
I've only ever lived in high cost of living areas my entire life (SF bay area, and LA), grew up in an upper middle class family, and now have a household income in the aforementioned 5% range - well into 6 figures. We have a rather small mortgage for this area, and outside of a mortgage, have...
land rover evoque if you want to be different - I would probably lease this
jeep grand cherokee, great interior and a lot of room inside although the fuel economy will be worse than your target
acura rdx if you can get over the styling
I'd personally go for the turbo forester, if you can deal...
For jump starting any car it is often recommended not to use the negative battery post even when it is easily accessible. The reasoning is to keep the jumper cables away from the battery, where hydrogen gas can build up. And as stated, the negative battery post is the electrical ground of the...
Actually, even if the mixture of demand for different crude oil fractions didn't match the supply, it wouldn't be an issue to process what is "left over" into something of value to people. This is already done where the the economics of it make sense. The base stocks from most premium motor...
There are a tremendous number of uses for diesel or diesel like fuels. Even if every diesel car, bus and truck disappeared tomorrow, the demand for diesel would still be high.
Farm equipment tends to use diesel.
Large ships burn bunker oil, because it's cheaper, but diesel is essentially...
Diesel engines simply cost more to build.
Modern diesels require heavy duty blocks to withstand the higher pressures of diesel.
Modern diesels are all turbocharged
Modern diesels use super high pressure fuel systems requiring expensive precision fuel pumps and injectors
Modern diesels have...
"For some reason" is not that complicated or mysterious:
Federal gas tax on diesel is about a third higher than it is for gas.
In europe, diesel and diesel powered cars enjoy favorable taxes, relative to gas.
In addition, for a significant amount of time in the recent past (coinciding with...
