According to another comment on this story, Adam told the Senate his legal fees are $100,000 a month. I'm not sure what else he has going on professionally but I doubt he'll see a big enough rise in podcast subscribers to offset t

I get 30 minutes on a HobbyKing Bixler 1.1 with a 5aH battery. I'm using an EzUHF for control with an EzOSD and 1.3Ghz for the video downlink. In a noisy place, like the suburbs of San Antonio, TX I could get 4 miles of range reliably

I can't speak about kids but having a dog is a big part of what makes working from home work for me. She forces me to take regular breaks to go for a walk. Without her I would likely work for much longer stretches and get much less exe

That's not how unemployment works, at least not in Texas. You wouldn't go off the unemployment until you were actually hired. You would simply report the income during that period (2 week periods in TX) and they deduct the amount
