I’m planning to play around with it a bit this weekend. I deleted all my social media accounts a few months ago, and it’s been surprisingly difficult to find out about local events since then. Even if you are on social media, info is scatte

Dang. Now I’ve got to go listen to Tom T Hall.

That's a great question, especially considering he's openly acknowledged owning Palantir stock.

My CTO is always talking about Palantir and how they are the future and how we need to figure out how to implement their services into our work. However, I can't find any examples of what they really do or what kind of product they off

I had to get the police involved, but they weren’t much help. So, I went directly to the mayor. He was very understanding and had a personal connection to my neighborhood—his grandmother had built the very first house there. That same after

It would be nice if you could apply more than one filter at once. Currently you can't apply both a location filter and a software filter.

My family and I had terrible experiences using Nextdoor. We were already used to seeing hateful and bigoted comments on Facebook, especially in various local groups, but the behavior on Nextdoor took things to another level. I was genuinely

It really is a nice accent. I spent my most formative years in the Caribbean, and I still have a bit of an islander accent when I'm around others who have one. There's a gentleman who works at a Publix near me who is from Trinidad

I don't believe they implied that at all.

What about the accent found on Smith Island? I believe it also has a great deal of Elizabethan English influence. Relevant video about Smith Island and the 'High Tider' accent used by many of its inhabitants: https://w

I'm not sure if bachelor's degrees should be abolished. But we need to start recognizing that most college degrees aren't required to do most jobs, and it's basically rent-seeking behavior. I've helped interview and

I’m curious to hear the answer as well. Maybe they’ll say something about guns. But we all know Republicans basically invented modern gun control. Democrats want to ban things like unvaxxed children. Which sounds like a great idea. Especial

Agreed. They vote like that because they wish to make life more difficult for those they dislike.

No one shoots themselves in the foot more often than GOP voters. It’s wild to watch folks like my SIL (a teacher) and my BIL (a combat veteran with no other marketable skills) vote against their own self interests every time they select a G

The trick is finding enough self-respect for yourself to break that conditioning. I was conditioned to smoke tobacco, waste money on crappy food, vote against my own self interests every two years at the ballot box, buy a new car every five

I buy a half-cow from a rancher every 6-7 months. I prepare all of my meals and all of my son's meals. I cook fresh meals for us six nights per week and take my lunch to work daily. We eat out exactly once per week, and it's alw

Maybe for rural Alabama, but not for Auburn. I think Auburn has the state's second highest cost of living, second only to Madison. My two-bedroom apartment is now $1400 per month, and that's for a decent but not exactly nice apar

My number one tools are arrogance and self-respect. I spent a few months visiting a therapist once per week. He said my arrogance is probably the most significant driver behind my success. Statically speaking, I should be dead, in prison,

Many people I know need some lessons in basic financial literacy. I’ve been living in an apartment for the past 18 months while saving to build a house and I’ll be here until the home is completed in October. It has been very alarming watch

Is there anywhere truly safe to go? Now that Trump has openly shown his true colors and, in my view, sold us out to Putin, is Europe even a viable option anymore? I would have left the country years ago if I didn’t have a child. Now, I feel

He doesn't specifically mention exercising IIRC. Although I found that lifting is another tool I can use to distract myself from the pain. He does encourage patients to stop any and all forms of physical therapy. I had already stoppe

Uh, I wrote my post myself. I am not affiliated with Sarno or his books at all. His books actually offer no kind of treatment method. Their main message is simply that pain originates in the mind and focusing on it only makes it worse. E

I suffered from chronic neck and shoulder pain for years. I had a cervical fusion surgery. I had a labral repair surgery. Neither improved my symptoms at all. I slept maybe 3-4 hours per night for ~7 years. Then one day I saw someone on H

Was this designed to be some kind of personal attack because you read that I was divorced? I wish my ex would find a new man so she'd stop texting me and asking me to help her with random stuff.

Based on my anecdotes, most probably fit in the former category. It takes a great deal of hate and bigotry to be able to support someone like Trump in the first place. That doesn't go away over night. But I think a lot of them are try

Facts and truth don't matter to these types. It's all about 'owning the libs' regardless of what it costs. These types love to shoot themselves in the foot.

My coworker is an avid MAGA type or at least he was. He kept a framed photo of Trump in his office. He and his wife own two Teslas. My coworker's combat veteran son lost his job in Huntsville last week. A direct result of Elon and h

I just replaced all four rotors and pad sets on my Land Cruiser. It took me ~75 minutes to do it in my driveway. And that included rotating the tires. I wounder how long the same repairs would take on a car with this new braking system.
