Thanks! Have done my share of remodeling in the past. Not easy work but the goal will be to get to the point where we can hire a team of workers and just do the finances / design / management. Same as anything else, right? Takes t

Agree 100%. Similar situation; been doing this for 20 years; in my 40s now. My exit will be into rental properties and flipping houses. Not ready quite yet; might have another couple years in me, but we're planning on it.

And now a days, bragging rights. People like speed - period. If 1 model out performs another model at a similar price tag and features / design - people will go with the faster one (usually). Same as any other personal preference - peo

I'm a big fan of pluralsight.com (no association). It's only $29 / month USD. I always go back to it when I want to brush up on something or learn something completely new. Not all videos / instructors are created equall

Agree with this. At least 2 jobs (I've lost count) I got based on side work I did. Full time employment history helped, but it was the side projects that showed a certain skillset that they wanted.

Maybe it's a culture / location (country) thing? Unless we're talking a tv > 60 inches, I don't recall anyone I know or talk to not hanging their tv.

by lsiunsuex 6y ago
What confuses me - and this gets worse as the years pass - don't most people hang their tvs now a days? Why aren't consoles designed to be hung on the wall behind the tv as well? Same can be said for Apple TV. Most of my tvs, all

Best lesson learned on plastering - thin it out a bit with water and add a little dish soap - helps keep bubbles out. Google it (where I got it from lol) Ceilings are the hardest part :( So much reaching :( Eventually I got good at corners

Not wood working, but I remodeled almost my entire last house. 1 kitchen, 1 bathroom, 2 bedrooms, a hallway and minor work to the dining room and family room. These were complete guts down to the studs with new windows, doors, electrical, p

A problem with thoughts like this though, should I, the consumer, be able to choose what I want to do and not my app store of choice? IMO this falls inline with smoking weed or drinking alcohol. If I choose to do something and it doesn&#x27

Why ? Somewhat serious question - what will a real brokerage offer me on my tiny (< 1000) investment - we're just testing waters (at a bad time no less) Blanket statement like that without reason would equal please switch to self ho

Probably an incredibly stupid question but I've always wondered why we can't take small amounts of nuclear waste - say, size of a AA battery, put it into a metal package and use it in laptops / cars / whatever. Short of

We moved to Sarasota, FL end of August this year from Western NY. Couldn't be happier. I think cost of living is roughly the same; some stuff is more expensive, some stuff less. No income tax is nice and its almost end of December and

I remember back in the day (early 2000s) installing one of the first Alpine slide out / fold out LCD panel head units in my car, then stuffing an xBox OG in the back arm rest and playing video games while waiting for people. Fun times!

Conversely though - doesn't that lead to bad habits? If security is taught at the student level, by the time they get to junior developer they'll have an understanding of it / do it automatically.

But you said yourself "I'm a fan of showing the error." Showing an error and allowing the user to decide what to do is apart of the handling process, no ? You can try / catch all day long, but if the app crashes or doesn

That's a little far reaching I think. A TV's primary purpose is to consume video content. It "can" play music, podcasts, streaming audio, but a TV is better suited to movies, tv shows, etc... To say the iTunes brand or i

Created a list, registered to be able to save it, and you put my real name on the list. Click on edit profile; you accept a username - ok - but you don't show it instead of the real name. Not cool. Fix that and this might be a really n

So the next report / analysis needs to be: Of everyone who asked for work or applied for work via these posts - how many secured a position? I've long given up on these posts trying to find freelance work or other permanent work.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong (I'm a bit rusty on A records and C-names) but just because 2 addresses show the same content, does not necessarily mean they are the same website. domain.tld is a different address from www.domain.

Would home automation systems fall into this? Could start with systems based around Airplay (I did this for my house) then maybe move on to something like Crestron or ? It's not really software development but it could include specking
