Should have thought about it in advance? Something similar happened to me with cofounderslab.com. I paid some $60 for full membership, asked a question and got banned. Threatened lawsuit if they don't refund me and they did. Still can

Having lived in Romania during communism, I was shocked in disbelief when I read that the VCR's original purpose was recording and not playing. Having a video here at those times was more prised here than having a car (which you couldn

How about physical office jobs in your area? Have you applied to those? Remote is tough these days but willing to butt in the seat for 8 hours with a 2 hours commute might put food on your plate and buy you time.

I'm taking a pill containing vitamin D plus zinc from time to time when I remember and I'm in the mood. Like parsley in soup, it probably doesn't hurt, doesn't help (much) either. One thing you might wanna check is your

I think it's misleading calling these things "computers". They are no more "computer" than the analog computers, like MEDA: https://www.analogmuseum.org/english/collection/meda/43&#x2F

That's exactly what I wanted to say. Both Cola and Pepsi are too damn sweet. On the rare occasion at the right temperature and amount of thirst on my side I can drink a 330ml bottle and actually enjoy the taste. But most of the times i

Well you can't eliminate the authoritarian element completely but I still prefer "Pretty please, with sugar on top, clean the f**g car".

As an alter-ego of Michael, what I find interesting in my mid 40s reaching into the 50 is how much I understand Hitler at about the age.

Romania is and was a fairly advanced place since at least Dacian times (Romans didn't spend the effort to invade it for nothing). Dacia https://ro.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dacia_1300 was such a vastly superior car to

Seems to me that the guy didn't have a "job" in the first place. Sounds more like applying to a new one and getting rejected for some whatever reason. Come back when you already have a year into the job and then say "los

Look, a 10% interest rate isn't that much on a $10,000 personal loan. But that doesn't even buy you a new car today and for a measly apartment in a major city you gotta be prepared to spit in the vicinity of $1,000,000. This insan

Surveillance is my main objection too, although my commute from suburbs to city center takes 3 hours per day if I have to do that. But at home I have side projects or learning projects. I get the 3 hours back and can spread them throughout

Some people will get addicted to anything, does this mean we should forbid it to everyone? I can't stop jer*ing off for instance, God knows I tried, but after a few days or weeks at most I succumb to temptation. Should society outlaw p

What I find strange is how someone doesn't have a mother, father, brother, grandparents, aunts, cousins to help a little when in need. I mean they must have been born somewhere, doesn't anyone in the family tree own a place to liv

Nostalgia of having lived a unique period in human history when computer capabilities were evolving by leaps and bounds by the year. Nothing is even close to that nowadays. Like, I brought my first 386 SX-25 Mhz home from college campus whe
