I used to be in this space. How are you going to handle fraud/theft? E.g. someone uses a stolen driver’s license/whatever to sign up with a verified account, uses a stolen card, shows up to borrow $highValue item, and then never r

My (dental hygienist) mother insisted that I get a sealant on my teeth when my permanent teeth came in, and to this day I’ve never had a cavity. Definitely doing the same for my kids.

It’s hit or miss block by block, but if you do it daily you’re going to feel unsafe at some point. I remember walking past someone sharpening their axe on the corner of 4th and King (Caltrain) at 9am during peak commute.

I also found a javascript emulator that I used to resurrect a constellation quiz program my dad helped his 8th grade science students write in 1984: http://constellations.s3-website-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/

I wish I could say the same about Patagonia, but I’ve patched one elbow hole in my flannel and need to patch the other. I wear it almost every day, but I’ve only had it four years.
