Seems like a strange correction, although we're both correct, because the title of the page says "Three Ways to Get Paid", but the difference is negligible. A job is one way to make a living, in which these ways may apply, b

These are "ways to get paid", but "jobs" implicitly may or may not be relevant to the topic. If there's no game, politics, or sales aspect whatsoever, which is rarely but not never the case, then it's kind of i

Hmm, that actually is an important difference. I was considering trying to set something like this up so I didn't have to bring two laptops with me while traveling, but was skeptical it would go smoothly, apparently for good reason.

Best way to shorten a murder sentence seems to be to just do it with your car. It's crazy what people seem to get away even if they're clearly deranged, drunk, and blowing through red lights etc..

I think it's because there's only a tenuous sense of control with things in-between, and to some extent SFHs that have strict HOAs. I mentioned in another comment that although in theory (in the US & Canada anyway) you can buy
