I guess it depends on how you define "poor". If "poor" is never having to work, getting to chase your dreams and ambitions with your entire life, and never having to worry about food and housing and healthcare, then sign

"Forward Deployed Engineer" is on your website and links to LinkedIn, but it's listed as not accepting applications there. Your company is awesome, I tinkered with something exactly like this but with a little plastic RC exca

What's the best combination of close to the US, high living standards, good healthcare, and feasible to immigrate to as an American with a pretty normal professional career?

Space junk isn't a problem at the altitude that Starlink operates at and they harmlessly fall back into the atmosphere after a given number of years. Please take the Musk-bashing astroturfing elsewhere.

To dig through the materials these bunkers are made of would require technology advanced enough they would know what radiation is and how to detect it.

Civil forfeiture has a bad track record because it's used on poor and lower class people 99.999% of the time. I imagine if it was only used on rich people it'd have a stellar reputation.

Seattle subreddit is unbelievably awful and it's not just the mods, it's virtually every person participating.

It's almost like the people who thought of the first amendment didn't see 99% of speech going through private companies at some point in the future. My snark isn't pointed at you, just at the people whose talking point is &qu

I like this article around this topic. I read it many years years ago and it rang very true for me. Traveling can be fun but it doesn't solve the problem needing purpose (for those with that need). https://medium.com/pe

This is something I've come to learn as I get older. I used to beat myself up over all the stuff I thought I should be doing with my spare time but didn't. Then I realized - if I'm not doing it and I don't feel motivated

Not sure if this was the first year for tax returns to have it, but I was asked to document every single time I spent bitcoin to purchase something. Because you have to pay capital gains on the value above when you bought it. I wonder if th

I think if you do something like this it's more about the process than the result. If all you wanted was a cabin it's faster and cheaper to just buy one. Cutting down old trees happens all the time for lumber.

Politicalhumor posts seem to contain zero humor at least half the time. It's just anti Trump screenshots.

This is simply not true. They banned at least a dozen leftist subreddits at the same time.

It already did. Reddit banned virtually every "far" leftist sub when they banned the_donald. Stupidpol is probably the closest thing left and I guarantee you that will be banned within the year too

US is massive and road trips are boring because you're just in the middle of nowhere for the vast majority of it. But I grew up in the US, so maybe it's less boring for a foreigner. The entirety of the US is extremely safe. You ca

Your third point is maybe a little narrow minded. People travel for different reasons and long term travel can be stressful and uncomfortable for a lot of people, including myself. If I just spent all day in an unfamiliar country by myself
