Sears homes were common up to the 40's as well. More advanced last-mile transportation existed.

Interestingly, many new homes around me have pre-built sections which are assembled/attached at the site. The most common I've seen are wall sections which are studded and sheathed in a warehouse, sometimes with exterior covering

What I found really interesting is the tuning of this referenced Russian 7 String guitar. By today's standards, that's nothing out the range of a regular 6-string in the common Drop-D tuning (only a whole step lower than "reg

Yeah it threw me off with the hero image being of a common electric 7-string type, but the article focusing strictly on an early-music relic.

Yes. The price "seems better" even if it's a penny less. When I was 8 or 10 I worked on my grandparent's farm. We grew hydroponic tomatoes. We sold them in ~1 lb bundles for $4 a piece. One day we switched to $3.99. It w

You'll need hobbies, or just "something to do". But most importantly, you need a job where you can do actually do this . I've worked for a few startups (wow, ironic) where it was impossible to switch off because everyth

In my experience, wealth management is mostly about having great people skills and being able to have a conversations with anyone. Not saying everyone here is bad at it; but it's an extremely social industry.
