My family ranch was in North Dakota. Most ranches and farms are set up so that there isn't much value if you don't sell the whole thing. You need land, the homestead (house, barn, shop, corals...), a water source (ideally multiple

From a technical perspective, this isn't wrong. From a finance perspective... I don't want to argue that this is sane, but a lot of firms view software still as a Capital Expenditure (CapEx), not Operational Expenditure (OpEx). Ca

I went on a few dates with a girl who was a walker for Wag. She had just moved to the town I'm from, and she was between jobs. She had a background as veterinary assistant, was great with my dogs, and seemed over qualified for the work

I think the biggest issue with open-source projects is that we can't incentivize the creators to do the work. What I'm looking for is an easy way to "donate now" on the library. Without this, I can't pay someone to

Cool, see my other comment as well -- for the agency I work for in Sydney, an 85 on Lighthouse would be a failing score. We need a 90 or higher on every metric to be able to hand it over to the client. Be useful to run a Lighthouse audit on
