Oh no, not me buddy. See my other comments. I would give away every penny to avoid jail. No wrenches, either, thank you very much.

This seems like a prediction. It also seems reliant on an idea that he can't hire new people.

> Elon Musk's epic flaming death spiral at the helm of Twitter I keep hearing this, but...is it true? Doesn't this viewpoint rely on a prediction that it's going to actually crash and be unrecoverable?

Sure, but you've made that choice ahead of time. And it doesn't move the coins.

This is a tangent, but...does she deserve every bit of 11 years? I agree that relative to other sentences she does, but what does 11 years mean to you? It's everything to me. I cannot imagine giving up 11 years. I think we throw around

I built an integration for a charity that processed many millions per year. The money went to support needy folks in an impoverished nation. Children could get sponsors for schooling, food, and orphanages. The high-impact part comes from th

Just have a pile of tarps. Peel them off like post-it notes. Replace in fair weather.

As a pale person, I can fill everyone in: it's because I can wear clothing, and since it's a social norm, it's not debilitating in the slightest bit whatsoever.

We started spelling tests in first grade in the 1980s. We also read (aloud as a class) The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe that year.

Location of the insured vehicle has been a factor since I started having insurance about 24 years ago (speaking for 20 years of Geico, and more recently Progressive).

Is there an option to download to the local device, too? I drive through areas with no service for a few hours per week.

Edit: I realized after I posted that you didn't say you program, but rather that you work for FAANG. So sorry if some of this comment is slightly mis-guided. > I had some free time this weekend, when I realized I could do anything,

This year: I built a site to republish mug shots for my county. The county site was really bad. I built a CLI script to check the weather in some ways that I care about. I would use Alexa, but she can't answer questions like "when

I'm also "effectively retired" so that makes being out here for long stretches pretty easy. I own a bar, but I have 4-hour-work-weeked myself out of any steady obligations there. Of course, I'm working way harder out her

I hear you, and not to argue with your points, but I have some comments. - There is a very close school here, as I happen to live in the tiny area that has the school for a pretty big region. They have very few students (graduating classes

Truthfully, I haven't had fig trees before. My neighbor (and uncle) has some that I love the fruit of, so I got some myself. That said, I don't think he does anything. They need watered the first growing season, if there's no

That's fair. Not a problem for me, and I am definitely remote. You can have a very similar setup close to civilization, it just costs a lot more. For instance, in my region, acreage might go as little as about $2000/acre still. Bu

I hope you can figure it out. For me, the place I bought reduced my expenses. My rent was more than my mortgage ($625/month). That rate was high because I only took a six-year loan, and paid it off quickly. I had previously been paying

Don't even need a telescope. You wouldn't believe how many stars are out there, no telescope required. You can always visit the wilderness. No need to live here. But I sympathize. I have many other lives I'd like to live, as

I hung it on the wall in my "gym" for now. I have a lot of antler already for projects, so I intend to leave it how it is. It's pretty cool looking. No specific plans, I guess.

I think I'm, in a way, OP-who-took-this-advice. I could have written his post, and I'm mid-journey on your advice. I sort-of naturally fell into it. I'm just not as interested in HN or Reddit anymore. The whole internet feels

Have you considered the Gingery series? That could be fun if you have the physical capacity. Seems like you have all the required interest. Cheers.

What's stopping you? I live in a small house somewhere in the woods. I have 40 acres, a house, a woodshop, a nice "man shed", and several more small buildings for animals and equipment---and I bought all that for $60,000 in t

Spotify used to have a version of a song that I had for years on MP3. It had an audio defect in it that wasn't part of the actual song. I'm not saying they got it on Napster/Limewire, but uhh--that's where I got my ident

Cleaned up the globe and lit it up today! It's basically brand new, so it didn't take much. It smelled strange so I've had it burning outside for a while with no issues. Thanks for poking me with your series, I always forget

No, I'm quite more likely to believe that a customer at T-Mobile is a googler than to believe that the salesman is.
