Ah I see the confusion now. I didn't mean to do it without thinking about it. Just that it frustrates me that someone who could happily live with $70,000 a year sits on millions or more. Make use of the money in some way for someone even if

Yes but I want to say to anyone who wants to do this Give the money away! Someone else can do so much more with it. It really annoys me when people do the "I'm a billionaire who drives a pinto" thing. Either splurge or give but don't just s

Gorgeous. You'll love it. Look for a place in Marietta, Alpharetta, or near Emory's campus (Druid Hills i think they call the area) for the nicest places to have homes and Midtown and Atlantic Station for the nicest condos (in the city, we

(Atlanta native) I agree with you about Atlanta on everything except 2 things. 1) The weather here can get kinda crazy. Schizophrenic even, one day it could be 80, then 50 or 30 then 70. Mostly when the seasons change, and it can get really

Exactly that. I really want to do an HN post asking people to curb all of the sensationalist headlines (especially if you haven't fully researched the situation). I just feel like it will get lost in the noise though

HN is not the place for memes, but cheer up. You've now identified a problem. Whats important is what you do about it.

You wrote that! I used that when I first started doing web development to show posts from certain categories in wordpress before that feature made it into the core. Man we've come a long way since then.
