You can retire from the army after a mere 20 years with about 1/2 your base pay for life plus free or cheap medical benefits for life etc. Thus, if you go in at age 18, you can start over at 38 with a raftload of bennies and pay until

So, when Dave Eggers decided to rewrite my book as his own novel about a youngwoman working her wayup through Facebook, the Wall Street Journal called it a treatment of “the essential issues of the day.” Most likely, his book was more acc

Have an upvote, though I would say flexiblty and challenge are real benefits and it would be possible to calculate a dollar value for them if you knew the right data to look for.

There are quite a lot of reasons. But I imagine you were being rhetorical and do not want to discuss pecking order and a lot of other social stuff. :-) But have an upvote.

Have an upvote. However, I see no reason why Japan should put the needs of "the world" first. If you do not have energy security/self sufficiency, you do not have national security. America is endlessly criticized for sending

Hmmm. Wondering what else we can do here that would be viable.

My ex was career military. People in the military bitch constantly about the "low pay" while oblivious to the dollar value of a long list of benefits. I wonder how those high civilian salaries compare to the academic salaries if y

Wow, really? These questions are like criticism of people who live in flood zones. Yeah, we should all avoid water like the plague. We don't need it to drink or grow crops or foster basic transportation. Have you ever looked at a map o

If the data is stored on their device and you have zero access to it, I do not see any problem. Individuals have the right to do as they see fit with their own PHI. Background: I paid insurance claims for over five years. Thus, I received H

I would suggest you get assessed for a learning disability. The pattern you describe is extremely typical for someone who is 2xE -- I.e. both bright and learning disabled. Identifying and addressing a previously undiagnosed disability is ty

A quick google suggests micro hydro can be done for as little as $1k. And once yiu have your own power plant, you won't have monthly electric bills. Here is some info: http://www.alternative-energy-news.info/micro-hydro

My default personality is very risk averse. I do lots of things that look crazy to other people. Different knowledge base, different goals, basically. I agree with the first point of setting a clear goal so you know what you are actually tr

Funny, I have spent years trying to escape the small town/small-minded feel of most online communities. I favor larger sites these days, where there is somewhat less entrapment or entrenchment due to personal politicking. That being sa

My understanding is this is the direction of flow. My oldest son has such traits. I have told him since he was little that he needs to plan on starting a company, he will never make a good employee. I have seen crime shows indicate serial k

Thank you for the upvote and have one in return, but, oh, boy, are you opening up a can of worms that I am sure all of hacker news does not want to get into. In a nutshell, the military was my ex's dream job that he thought I would not

I wasn't passing judgement on you. This being said, fuck you for abusing me on the basis of information you hadn't yet shared. It is noted here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5908105 & on my blog etc.

On the one hand, it would take a miracle or three. On the other, things have been very, very slowly improving. I cannot tell if things are about to crash and burn or finally start coming together. I am sorry you suffered. Thank you for the

As a former mitary wife, I am kind of personally offended that this is the top voted comment here. Being rooted in place like a plant is not the only means to raise healthy, secure kids. Ugh. I really wish this were downvoted to hell. I am

Then hydro, which is very do-able on a small scale. Do I seriously need to list all possible options here?

I can't get this to open. I will note there is a known correlation between teaching classical music and math ability. Also, not everything worthwhile in life is about a paycheck.

Surgeons cut on you in cold blood. I could not be a surgeon. Having a particular trait is not inherently evil nor inherently maladjusted. Geez.

Oh, you cannot be serious. Generator. Wind power. Solar. This is increasingly easy to provide on a small scale in the middle of nowhere.

Look, I am probably an idiot, but I simply do not see how you would determine in advance who might want to pay you later for your upfront cost of keeping their data. But, hey, people do stupid shit all the time. I certainly do. I am just wo

Speeding fee or speeding tax or speeding fine is kind of a matter of semantics. Some people would view it exactly that way. I knew a doctor who got three speeding tickets in one month and thus had to go traffic school, which he viewed as ri

And where is the money in backing up sites from other hosts? I don't really see it.

I don't think speeding fines are really punishment. It is a cost that you are not willing to pay without good reason. If you had sufficient reason to be in a rush, you might decide it was an acceptable cost. But the occasional fine doe
