It's a controversial one but it's only a backup anyway. If shit really hits the fan and you're in decent physical shape you can join the military. They pay you enough to support a family, through allowances, and provide a hou

You just justified the existence of OP's API with your explanation.

That is pretentious thinking because to begin with it's really none of our business whether OP is lazy or diligent. The role expected of other HNers in a show HN post is to consume the work and provide some feedback. Not to dig deep an

Yeah it is man. I did the same thing and I used to work in restaurants. It was always a hobby and then it became a job. Yes, I even worked from home too. I would actually recommend against working at home though. It's a catalyst for la

If you're talking protection in the physical sense, for 99% of women you're absolutely wrong. I'm in the military and there are only a few women I know who would hold their own in a fight against a similarly fit man. I can th

Yeah, that's do able. You need to find basically 1 client and hope they're pretty decent. Try services like toptal.com, grouptalent.com etc. The high end type ones are best: search HN for more of them. Tell them your time commitme

Think about the Army. MOSes in 25 series and 35Q and 35T would be interesting to you. All computer stuff. 35Q would have you doing pentesting . Go talk to a recruiter if you're not older than 35. Source: I am in the Army. It's no
