  • I don’t think any reasonable person is blaming the workers. In my experience the employers do two things:

    1. They hire H-1B workers at the bottom of the pay range (or as you said misrepresent the job)
    2. They do a half-assed (or no-assed) job of trying to fill the position with an American. They’re supposed to post the job and take applications, but I worked for a large corporation (for less than 2 years because I couldn’t stomach the culture) that would just post the job internally on bulletin boards knowing there were no eligible internal candidates that would see the physical posting.

    This is definitely an employer abuse problem, not a candidate problem.









  • I have a Kickr Core connected to Zwift, which is nicer than just spinning endlessly since it’ll adjust the resistance (unless in ERG mode). But it still gets boring and it’s not like riding on the road. My ass still takes a hit. Standing once in a while helps, but I think the idea another poster had of just taking occasional breaks is best.

    I’d like to get a rocker plate, but even there I suspect for longer rides breaks will be needed since you just don’t get the same movement as out on the road.

    As someone who is not vegan and does eat bacon on occasion, I approve this meme.

    I honestly think part of (but definitely not all of) the resistance against veganism is the perceived pushiness of it, similar to the pushiness some have around detesting anyone who eats meat. I’ve tried to be vegetarian several times and found that I personally don’t have the discipline to stick with it because of societal pressures and the difficulty in finding variety, but I know a lot of people that reject even that outright because of the “all or nothing” attitude that media and some groups/individuals presents around vegetarianism/veganism.

    Long story short, I’m proud of those who can do it, but I’m just not there yet. Maybe someday.
