Was there a compelling reason for choosing the Model 3 over the Model Y? I’m also curious if you’ve driven long distance with it. I drive 250+ miles pretty regularly and wonder about the Supercharger experience.

I agree. It seems pretty big until you wash it or use it to move large furniture, boxes, etc.

$500? Top of the line devices in the last few years have crept above $1,000 USD. Not trying to nitpick but the difference there is a sizable chunk of the average person’s annual income.

Yes, to your point I was at T Mobile a month or so ago waiting to buy a SIM card in line behind someone who was evaluating their “free” (i.e., carrier-financed) options. They had a choice of a number of Android handsets I’d never heard of.

Maybe. But I learned a lot of useful skills working that weren't taught at school. And working, along with sports and clubs, kept me out of trouble. I tell my partner all the time that when we have kids they're getting jobs in hig

2017 Toyota Prius. Excellent fuel economy and driver assistance features. My partner complains about the seats not being comfortable enough and I agree, to a certain extent.

Answering your question directly, I would teach them. I don't think I would assign texts, really. My question means to ask how someone can intellectually pull themselves up by their bootstraps. I guess starting with basics may be one

I worked in food service jobs during high school on the weekend. I graduated a semester early and worked full-time in food service for a few months, too. Not a bad option and pretty common at my school c. 2010.

It would be interesting if Googlers were presented with this set of options: 1) work from the office with the included perks or 2) work remote and keep the resulting savings to the company as a bonus.

Same happened to me recently. One day the .com was $12, the next day it was a premium domain available for a cool $2,200. Used Namecheap. Now I use ICANN’s whois search and buy the domain if it’s cheap and there’s a greater than 50% chance

Please do. It would be my honor.

I had to read this a few times to understand what your product is, maybe because I wanted to stop reading halfway through the first sentence. Most people scan and if the first scan is too hard they move on. I think the first sentence should

This is the first use of an expensive (~$500?) .new domain I’ve seen in the wild not associated with a global brand. For those who don’t know, this domain is constrained to applications where a new file or process is created by visiting the

The climate is great. The parks and wilderness areas are great. But you know what? This a beautiful country and it would be shame to limit yourself to one place.

I strongly agree. Competition is good for everyone. There are 50 states, many of them nice places to work, live, and have a family. We moved to Utah from California this year and have loved it.

I don’t agree with this tax but one of the great things about this country is that each state can experiment. California is experimenting with higher state income taxes. Alaska, Florida, Nevada, South Dakota, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming

If the authorities in my state encourage my population (20s, male, low BMI) to take the vaccine, I’ll take the vaccine. It’s a risk, sure. But the older people have borne the risk so far. I can’t speak for other young people but I feel pers

Thanks. Yes, housing is getting a little more expensive now that so many people are moving to the Wasatch Front. It’s not as bad as Boise or Denver, though, at least not yet. We’re unsure if we’ll stay long term and buy or not. We want kids

I was thinking of specialists within the same specialty disagreeing. Read that way it is a contradiction but it’s now clear that’s not what you meant. I feel the point still stands! When I read your first reply I hadn’t considered speci

We moved to Salt Lake City, Utah. Quality of life is high and cost of living is low. We had a huge variety of housing choices at many price points. Groceries, gas, and utilities are much cheaper. People are friendly. The culture is differen
