I’ve considered this, however Bluetooth cases seem like a huge hit-and-miss swamp. Can you recommend any in particular?

Thank you for this comment. I'm currently going through a stressful time dealing with a legal situation that's, objectively, annoying at best. Yet I'm paralyzed every time I open up my mail client to type out the next email t

Not sure how it holds up today, but a few years ago Yospos on Something Awful was a dumpster filled with nuggets of gold.

Make absolutely, positively, beyond a doubt certain that you gel with the team and that you understand and believe in product being built. I didn’t when I took my first leadership role and it was one of the most miserable years of my life.

Congratulation on turning your fortune around. Side note: I always find it super-weird when people use cars as a proxy for success and happiness. A cultural thing I guess.

Damn. Well, that _does_ sound like something a 18-year old would do!

Throw money at _everything_ that’s not your core competency - ivocing, bookkeeping, sales, marketing, virtual assistants. You can sell your invoices to factoring companies and have the money within 48hours for 2-3% of the invoice total.

What if you forget to fill your ICE up? What if you and your spouse or roommate have two ICEs and a one car garage? You probably won't buy the EVs without checking you have the charging capacity before hand.

Ughn, I really thought that this rah-rah pseudo-masculine tough guy aesthetic was something we've collectively moved on from?

Hmm, you right. You could also build a Dropbox clone yourself quite trivially by getting an FTP account, mounting it locally with curlftpfs, and then using SVN or CVS on the mounted filesystem.

I really don’t want to come off as some sort of condescending euro-snob, but is the state of tap water in the US so bad so that you have to purchase plastic bottles of water?

Considering there’s a viable business in Wix consulting, as in talking to customers and building the Wix site for them, I’d say we’re still good.

What options are left if you need a simple website builder that's not a) Wordpress, which is a swamp filled with mines in the form of plugins b) Wix, which forces hosting and bad HTML on you Basically I want a Wordpress-like frontend +

I'd say that resturant-grade induction stovetops perform as good as or even outperform gas.

by fastbeef 8y ago
Keep in mind that 1 kW worth of gas gives out 0.9 kW, while 1 kW of electricity entered into a heat pump gives out AT LEAST 3 kW of heat. Also, no one uses gas for heating in Sweden. Very old houses down town use it for cooking only.

It's a nice round number that the manufacturers use a reference point, it's not a hard limit. In 99% of the cases, the out door unit will be connected to a indoor counterpart that has a 9kW resistance heating element what will aid
