The key is to work remotely for a SV company but live in a cheap small town (this is a humblebrag). Higher salary, no Valley real estate madness, no freeway nightmares, placid country bumpkin existence preserved. I do have to bite the bulle

Having recently gone through the prolonged pain of probating a will, I think smart contracts could be used to enforce wills without the need for probate. But of course, that opens up its own can of worms, like the need for potential heirs t

Yes, you make good points. A distinction should be made between junior 35+ people and 35+ people with at least a decade of experience. But I don't think that's exclusively a software engineering issue. If I tried to become an elec

Can confirm. Also, I suspect a lot of this "there's no life after 40" stuff mainly relates to startups and certain small companies. It certainly doesn't apply to BigCorps.

Just to add to this, tren (and all other steroids) are essentially testosterone derivatives. "GH" is growth hormone, which is not a steroid. Taking massive amounts of steroids can be a health risk for sure. But as the parent impli

Yes, low dosages (200 mg/week) of eg testosterone enthanate will make most guys over 35 feel ten years younger. Bodybuilders would laugh at such low dosages as this is far less than one would take on a typical cycle, but the benefits a

It existed at my smallish Canadian university back in the '90s, using much of the same language. Postmodern left-wing student radicalism isn't some new phenomenon. What is new is the reach of the internet and my guess is a lot of

That is simply incorrect. For example, beef liver is about twenty times more nutritious than fruit by mass. My original question was a bit cheeky as I already knew the answer.

That Icelandic diet sounds pretty similar to how I eat today. What's unhealthy about it?

There is nothing wrong with butter and cheese, unless you happen to be fat and are trying to eat fewer calories. The main thing to avoid in burgers are the buns.

As buyers, we simply hired an appraisal firm. I think it cost around $300. Then we hired a notary public to handle the paperwork, about $2500. Honestly, if you think real estate agents are the only ones capable of managing this process, the

Yes, I agree. I had ten years of experience before I got my first remote job. It was with a contracting company. The clients needed to know they could trust me (this was nearly a decade ago, when remote work was less common) and I needed a
