I like the insight of luck combined with incredible talent. Too many people get a bad taste in their mouth by leaders who only attribute success to hard work and dedication. Knowing what battles to really fight and die for is a talent in an

It's absolutely gerrymandering. Trump is running candidates against any incumbent who doesn't vote for redistricting to gerrymander the map. I'm willing to bet he starts "joking" about how Roosevelt got more than tw

Have you ever interacted with a heroine or meth user? Sometimes using drugs is fine, depending on the drug, the reason, and the person. For example, I did cocaine once and immediately knew I needed to cut ties with those friends because if

The answer to that question in a society that allows (mostly) autonomy of choice is that we let them die on the street. I'm not convinced that involuntary incarceration will actually fix the problem. I believe it will just take it off

I agree. I have never met anyone in real life that's concerned about telemetry on their car. They're worried about the cost of a new car, and the cost of all the electronics, should they go bad.

If you look in rural areas they're not too bad in terms of neighbors. But they'll absolutely have to be gutted and remodeled.

That really depends on the field. Only one position asked about my LinkedIn. And that was because they had you apply via the site. I didn't apply, because fuck that inside out.

Americans don't do well with anything perceived as confrontation, speaking in general terms. Haggling is on that list. It's why my son sold so damn much popcorn sitting outside of a grocery store for the boy scouts. He asked every

Except with haggling, I can talk the price down to keep it in my budget. That's stressful and unnecessary really, but at least there is an avenue to lower the price inherent in the system. Try haggling at somewhere like wal mart. Go to

You are correct and I don't get OP's point. Don't want apple rules, don't use apple products. They are the business, they can do what they want with it, right?

I was a lot more careful about clicking things when it took a full minute to load. Now I know that it'll be open in less than a second and I can leave immediately if I need to, so there's WAY less thinking beforehand.

So our main small tractors were a 175 and an 1100. The 1100 had a bucket but I would've killed for a bucket on that little 175. Man that thing was handy. You could drive it through the yard without leaving tire tracks.

Wild. We ran a 175 and 1100 for our daily tractors before Grandpa died and I quit farming (big ass John Deere machines for the real work at planting and harvest though). They're phenomenal little machines that can do 99% of what you ne

Correct. There are no communities anymore, just groups of houses. You see it in the death of social and civic organizations, churches, and other community groups. Everybody is an island. I don't know what has caused this, but it seems

That's an amazing experience even if you couldn't recognize it at the time. That's legitimately cool, and you can say you were in the room with genuine once in a lifetime talent. Not everybody has that experience. I saw Dave

That could have been said without the massive racism. It's less about the money and more about the logistics of transporting and stocking these goods in a country that doesn't have decent basic infrastructure. See?

The Savannah bananas do that for their tickets. You enter a free lottery to buy tickets then pay the same price regardless of when you buy them in that window if you're chosen. I don't think there's much scalping that happens

If that marketing works on anyone they need to be examined. McDonald's is the definition of machine repeatability. Except with pickles. They never get the pickles on the actual burger.
