Now imagine being on Elon's Mars colony and having your breathing rate limited out of the blue one day. Today switched my vision of that from wonder and hope to seeing it as volunteering to become one of the belters in The Expanse. I&#

There's two ways to increase business income, extract more $$$ from a captured user base or create value to attract revenue. One is a sign of a healthy company looking at future growth, the other the sign of a zombie company that has t

Aren't most musical scores these days all done in MIDI? With the other option being to hire X number of musicians plus a conductor? So seems like a pretty AMAZING thing that this 80s technology is able to do what previously took a scor

You are required to take and pass paid courses to get a license in most states these days. It was a huge barrier to a lot of the guys in the halfway house. Just coordinating getting to these classes via the bus was a pain. Also, if you retu

UNCIOR does CAD work for McDonalds remodels and such. You are paid more working UNICOR (sometimes over $100 a month). I did CAD in college but I sure as hell am not using my education to make the Warden/Cops a fat bonus. Lots of guys d

I don't know. Before I went to prison (so I guess I was in a very poor state to make choices) I somehow gravitated to a bunch of conservative websites. Instapundit was the start. And I bought into it all. Having a 'nice' 5 ye
