I really like 'em when I'm in a city for a work trip. I have a truck at home. I don't have a car at an offsite. Being able to get around is nice. SF's muni buses are crowded and slow and the frequent stops are nauseating

Trivially, yes: I invest with borrowed funds, while the hypothetical free-and-clear landlords in the previous example have paid back their loans.

I am 36 years old. My infancy, much less my memory, began too late to see the last visit. Mark Twain was born as the comet reached its perihelion, and joked - a year or so before the next - that having come in with it he should go out with

Can anyone - ideally someone who reads Russian and has consumed Russian media - explain to me the stated casus belli for the Ukraine war? I know there are understandable reasons (natural resources, warm-water ports, domestic approval of the

When I was a kid we had a pseudoscience documentary about the Sphinx, narrated by Charlton Heston. They took the appealing argument that the surface looks like it's been eroded by water and extended that to conclude that it must have b

I sweat enough that it makes the faux leathers pretty gross. This is an bigger issue for my home chairs as I don't bother to put a shirt on before hopping on the internet. In an office, while the chair at my desk probably stays there f

My company is building in the same space as Tier - in fact our offering looks close to identical. The problem we've faced so far is catching buyers who want to solve this problem, the deeper, underlying issue, rather than the problem t

My cofounder and I raised an absurd sum at a valuation which was pretty insane during the last months of the zero interest rate environment. We had months of no interest in the idea, then we got one term sheet, and then we had three term sh

My mom died of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis resulting from "interstitial lung disease," which is a nasty progressive feedback loop of inflammation, scarring, and reduced lung volume. She'd cough, which would make small tears

A number of my acquaintances (rural Montana) went through this after high school. It is noble and it is well-intentioned. When students stick with it it often opens new opportunities that wouldn't be available otherwise. But it's
