This might be therapeutic for you: The vast majority of people who interact with you in any way, think about you extremely little or not at all beyond the moment of interaction. We just don't play nearly as big a role in other people

Make your own decisions of course, but make sure you are fully educated about the risks of MDMA. It is not generally considered to be a dangerous substance. It is illegal though, and moderation is always prudent.

Surely you realize this only works in low-population-density areas, with minimal economic disparity, and probably lots of self-sufficient property protection processes. None of those factors are possible and/or desirable, in cities. An

10.5km (34.4kft) is an ordinary cruising altitude for an ordinary commercial airliner. The curvature of the earth can be quite apparent on a clear day at that altitude when flying over water. Or the midwestern US.

That's funny, because I also worked at two of those three, and I have a distinctly different memory. NSCP, SUNW, and CSCO did not in any way define dotcom-1.0. Except maybe in the national press (Fortune, WSJ, etc). They were important

I was there too, and that is not what I saw. (Caveat: I'm thinking of the 1997-2000 period. Netscape IPOed in mid 1995, the bust was early 2000, so that covers the last 2/3rds of the first wave, but not all of it.) My observations

FWIW, oven/range circuits are notoriously overspecified. Code in the US is 220V/50A. Your wall oven will get the same, despite having a much lower max draw than the usual oven/cooktop combination. 50A (upgraded from 30A sever
