We bought all new appliances for a kitchen remodel about 1.5 years ago, everything pretty nice, mostly LG. Even after this time I am still in love with the LG fridge, glass door, two kinds of ice, middle drawer chill or freeze. It’s pricey

I don’t think you quite understand. One ounce of gold or one bitcoin is indistinguishable from any other, i.e. fungible. Also, limited in number and scarcity only partly define value. In addition to these properties, other people must agree

Interesting saunas being associated with wealth, we come from different places. When I was in college at Michigan Tech in the early 80’s, dorms had saunas, the frat house had a sauna, and if you were lucky, someone was renting a place with

What do you think the costs associated with saunas are, beyond a towel and sometimes a swimsuit?

You and I have a different view of what a sauna is. My sauna in the UP is simply wood-sided shack, interior cedar board, and a wood burning sauna stove (basically a plain wood stove with free rocks on top) bought locally for around $600, an

I don't think so. Saunas are economically available to almost everyone (where there is fuel). I grew up a yooper in Upper Michigan and saunas are a very common part of the culture and even folks without indoor plumbing (much less comm

This is such a weak reply. If you have something to add, it should pertain to the broad market, like the comment you re responding to does...

Not at all. Pursuit of knowledge is sacred with many cultures. “Native Hawaiians” make up about 10% of the population, many of which of which support these kind of projects. They want their kids to live in a world that values knowledge like

“Applications being written in .NET is mostly on the Azure side.” You are of course, wrong about this. Most .Net/C# code is not Azure (yet anyway) -related; it is the billions of lines of enterprise application code across businesses

A university degree is much more than this, and I think most people who view its value as “dwindling” have not had the experience…

I am currently renting and driving a Tesla from Hertz at SEA on mainland for a week of skiing at Mt Baker. I have a 2020 Lexus RXL at home. While the Tesla has better driving software and sportier handling, the Lexus rides much better and q

Yes, I was taught at it a high school chemistry class and found it extremely useful for my mechanical engineering degree work.

When you’re young maybe, but after ten or fifteen years of “deep social connections”, working remote can be quite peaceful and satisfying. Personally I’ve always been more productive working at home.

it’s only legal because there are no laws specifically making it illegal currently. This is case with anything…anything not illegal is legal, at least in the US…

This of course is nonsense. It takes some effort to host your own, but you can do it, and there are hundreds of email providers out there. And there is the middle ground of getting your own domain and “hosting” your own for $6/month wi

This is ignorant nonsense… Edit: to be a little more clear, most govt groups (Treasury, Trade, etc.) are at the mercy of non-govt contractors in the private sector.

I agree. My wife and I take ocean swims most days and we both use Apple watches for metrics. She wears hers without fail, but I sometimes (disappointedly) forget to wear mine. When that happens it almost feels like I didn’t work out.
