And why wouldn't they try to convert them? If they truly believe that the people they're helping physically are doomed to an eternity in hell and that they have information about the only way to avoid that (through Jesus Christ)

Feels like you're getting rid of one of the greatest parts of remote work - working from home in solitude without the distractions of open working spaces. If I wanted to work around others, I'd just go rent a desk at a shared work

Just because he's unable to pay restitution doesn't mean they should get paid from the police. He's the bad actor here, not the police. He's the one that caused the damage by illegally breaking into their home and not

They garnish his wages in and out of jail for the rest of his life. Yes, it's unlikely they'll ever receive full restitution but he's the one who should pay, not the police. Is your argument that because the perpetrator is u

Why are they going after the police? It's the home intruder that should pay for the damages.

No, defamation laws are to protect someone who is defamed (unjustly harms their reputation, and usually constitutes a tort or a crime). They are not intended to protect you from false ideas. Can you sue for defamation if I publish an essa

Carriers can't be sued for the content they carry. It's been tried many times and so long as the carrier acts like a carrier (neutral channel), it fails.

Best preparation in my opinion is "On Becoming Babywise" the the other "On Becoming ....wise" books. They're the instruction manuals that should come with a new kid. We got them before #1 arrive and they've wo

Reminds me of the brief hospital visit I had in Paraguay where I needed to have a friend or relative always with me because the hospital didn't stock anything. If ibuprofen, bandages, syringes, antibiotics, etc were needed, the hospita

At the time, we lived in Phoenix, AZ USA. We just called up the hospitals and asked what programs they had for private-pay child delivery. Most had post-paid financing but a couple had prepaid programs that were cheaper.

With our daughter, we shopped around and prepaid at a private hospital $5k, no insurance. We ended up not making it to the hospital in time (35 min labor and delivery) and I delivered the baby at home (not recommended). We took mama and ba

This is good advice. I've got 7 kids and can verify this. To add a bit more to it, teach your babies how to fall asleep without you rocking them for hours. It's a skill and one few of them learn on their own. Your life will get

"it was limited to India for its entire life." Limited launch provided proof that it was a bad market fit and so they 'failed quickly' and shut it down. Isn't this supposed to be how it's done?

Turnover, IMHO, is due to market demand, not satisfaction issues. After 1.5 - 2.0 years, a dev has more skills that are in demand and will gladly jump ship for a better position and/or pay elsewhere.

I'm loving this. I shop around for my healthcare needs and it's very difficult to get a quote of any kind for any service. This will increase transparency and competition and that will hopefully lower prices.

TLDR; Small town didn't detect multiple leaks in their water system until it was too late and they had to turn water off until the springs could re-fill their tanks. It happens.

It's realizations like this that drove me to working from home 10 years ago. I get to do the geeky work I love, eat lunch with my wife and kids, and my commute is a flight of stairs. I don't think I could ever go back into an offi
