Who are you to say that they would be better suited with something smaller? How incredibly presumptuous of you. This is their private property that they bought and paid for fair and square. You can't force them to sell it just because

It's easy. If I had a site generating that kind of money on the side for that little work, I wouldn't quit my job either. Why would you when you don't need to? Two income streams are better than one. I'd just pay off deb

Whoa there. I never said it was "environmentally friendly". That is indeed ridiculous. Just saying that for the amount of power it has , it gets better than expected gas mileage. Also, it looks like a 1970s Datsun 240Z averages s

Actually, the stock setup on the 2015-2017 models is pretty tame/quiet. Most of the super loud cars are after market exhaust/mufflers.

I have a 2016 Ford Mustang GT/CS and consistently get 23-24 MPG with mostly highway/freeway driving. It's unreal that a 5.0L V8 with 435HP (stock) gets that good gas mileage. The materials and fit & finish is better all a

Actually I think this is quite effective at stopping companies from doing this in the future. Why dump millions of dollars into creating an ad and paying for TV airtime when Google can just shut you down within hours?

I made a service that does this ( https://disposeamail.com/ ), and I am constantly asking myself if it's worth it. The PostgreSQL database takes up over half the disk space on the VPS I run it on, and that's only

I am always amazed at how quickly Heroku gets prohibitively expensive when you start scaling. When I ran https://jscompress.com/ on Heroku, I was up to $100 per month for 2 2x Dynos. Completely absurd for a simple one-page

I had both Vultr and RAMNode servers, but shut them both down and moved them to DigitalOcean. The control panels in Vultr seem like 3rd party reseller ones akin to the cPanel/WHM days. I was not able to upgrade my Vultr VPS to a larger
