IMO what made American muscle cars special was their combination of power + unique styling + price. Yeah they were noisy (Which some really liked) and sometimes impractical, but that was okay because of they weren't trying to be everyt

The crazy thing is there's nothing stopping manufacturers from making electric muscle cars. Instead, we get boring aerodynamic cloned appliances sold as "SUVs". As I've grown older though, I noticed that the less I nee

My dad uses his phone to answer phone calls, texts, maps to travel to job sites, and play music in his work truck. He might also open a link someone texts him. And that's it. Literally no 3rd party apps on his phone. Once his 11 finall

Bitrate aside, the marketing stopped making sense long ago: - 720p/1080p is counting vertical pixel resolution - 4k/8k is counting horizontal pixel resolution - "4k/8k" is not actually 4,000/8,000 horizontal pi

Without details we’ll just have to agree to disagree, but exercising options is not an all-or-nothing affair and can be done with a budget in mind.

I'm speaking from experience. Yes, it means buying in before there's clear evidence of success, that's the risk! The lower the risk the lower the reward. Waiting until the company is worth billions of dollars before buying it

While you're right that exercising options can be very expensive and are a risky tax bet, we're talking about employee #2 in this case. They should've been able to buy in early at a low price and tax bill if they really bel

Why would it be weird to have a dog sleep in a shelter outside? Lots of people have dogs not just as pets, but to guard their property, and it's done all over the world. My parent's shepherds stand by the door at bedtime asking to
