I’ve run a business for over 20 years. A business is a bit like a relationship where there is a big passionate start like the early growth part. This is where it was the most fun. Eventually assuming your business lasts it matures, perhaps

The early internet was counter culture. When I was in high school the nerds were on the internet and it wasn’t yet mainstream.

Another example would be Bloomberg as mayor of NYC. A sugar tax was attacked as an attack on the poor, minorities, overreach of government, attack on freedom to name a few. I can’t see it being supported any time soon by another politician

This is great. My own experience with my wife and birth control have included * depo shot - which she did not have great experience with * the pill - which had barriers going to the doctor, to continue getting the prescription. This include

Good for you on cutting down. Alcohol can slowly increase and turn into a drinking problem. Years ago I started having a beer after work and it turned into two over time then every day. Now I may grab a lower abv beer on the weekend but th

On more than one flight in my life they have been over booked and need people to come to the counter and take whatever they are offering. One time out of key west Florida the airlines refused to start boarding until a few passengers took an

I’m on the north east and calling home for Tylenol is still a thing. Since I don’t have direct knowledge of the area I skimmed the article and question exactly how far it goes. Specifically “Two health centers at the largest school district

A corporate policy that says don’t get involved or stop a theft is one I can certainly back. A retail employees life is not worth the goods being taken.

I have been using zfs for years from ubuntu 18. Easy snapshots, monitoring, choices for raid levels, and ability to very easily copy a dataset remotely with resume or incremental support is awesome. I mainly use it for kvm systems each with

I view it as paying by cash, so the same type of pitfalls exist. I'm not really pushing crypto as the best payment method, just giving the OP possible alternative payment methods they could use. There is a learning curve to using crypt

I’m not a crypto evangelist by any means but one thing that I like about crypto is there are no charge backs. I added coinbase and it’s not a huge amount but about 5% of sales go over this. Apple/meta/amazon pay are also some what

Margin is always a bad idea in my opinion. You can loose money in the stock market with out margin but no more than you paid. DCA makes sense to thee average investor. Unless you feel the market is insanely overvalued, keeping auto invest o

This Peter Lynch talk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rf_f8GV0yYM is one of the best videos on the stock market I have seen. It’s from the 90s and is relevant today. I like how it goes into how there is always something to

The simplest is following the Bogle three fund method VTSAX / VTIAX and VBTLX from vanguard that have a low fee split to your liking. I weight towards us stocks and very little in bonds. If you just did this over the last few years you

Coke Zero has that boring flavor for me. It’s not bad, but doesn’t stand out in flavor. Diet Coke has a different taste to it slightly more artificial but more like soda.

Pre Covid standard payments were made so this is bringing things back to a pre Covid level. Post Covid there was a significant rise in inflation ( ppp loans / money supply / student loan debt) I’d assume this starting will reduce

I remember warnings in the 90s on labels that saccharine causes cancer in high doses in lab mice on gum - over time ace k / Splenda and aspartame were used instead.

This era had shoutads/clickagents, eads and doubleclick for monetization. Banner ads were obtrusive and complained about at the time. I remember text ads google was pushing were actually a welcome change.

Maybe I don’t know what you mean by ESG messaging I’d assume it’s related to some environmental stuff and/or diversity. Strong stories just work - Wall-E was excellent with a back drop of its environmental messaging and non Disney into

The issue here is the GPL and what does it provide, freedom wise , for a system that is built of other contributors who also released their work under the GPL. It is a bit funny to me that red hat wants to kill off clones of their os and pl

Taxes don’t change on the day to day swings of the properly value of the house. There is a set value and a set rate regardless of the worth of the house. Now it could be every 10 years a city needs to re-assess. So they go and value all the

I do think this is true on some cases others are an mis judging of calories that are being eaten. The calories on menus have been great in this case. Going to order a salad at say cheese cake factory - some push to nearly 2000 calories. Add

Property taxes won’t change if these values collapse. A city may reassess values in the future but that just means some people go up and some go down with the final receipts the same. An owner may walk away from a Mortage and the bank will

Ssl is like the lowest on the chain. You have the domain registrar and the end host and perhaps cloudflare in the middle - and for phishing the mail starting point. All of these are better choices to report abuse than let’s encrypt provided
